    Used car buying tip

    It seems kind of intrusive to ask to see a stranger's driver's license. A better bet is to purchase from a certified used car lot, that way you can look up more accurate and guaranteed reviews of the place's past business dealings.

    AC or mileage?

    I don't let the price of gas stop me from running it. Then again, I don't usually drive very far distances and take awhile too get too hot as it is, so I have advantages.

    Bugs in my car!

    Ack! Those certainly aren't a nice surprise! I would recommend checking your car for holes or the source of where they are getting in. Patch that up or put bug repellent in your car if you so dare. Make sure your car is free of trash and other things that could be luring them in, and I would...

    Original music system

    My hubby always replaces the speakers in the cars we get. It's like a hobby for him. I'm with you on thinking it's unnecessary, but I suppose I am musically ignorant.

    Too many stop signs!

    Where there are stop signs, there are intersections. Very rarely are they placed for no good reason, so...I would recommend finding a more direct, alternate route if they really drive you that crazy.

    Weird ways to clean your car

    I thought this (yhoo.it/Ku76DP) was a really interesting article regarding weird and wacky ways to superficially clean your car in a pinch. I don't know too many people who would stoop to using a feminine pad to clean off their windshield, though! Do you have any unusual tricks when it comes...

    Does size matter?

    Do you prefer big cars or small cars or somewhere in between? How high does this factor rank in importance when looking for a new ride?
