    Getting sand out of carpet!

    I agree you need a better vacuum and a lot of patience (and quarters!). It takes a lot of time, and going over the same spot multiple times, it's really a pain.

    How do you feel about the legal driving age?

    I agree it should be older than 16. I would okay with 18-20 range. I also think drivers education should be taught multiple years of high school. Just in the classroom, no actual hands on training until at least 1 year of training.

    Do you have 4WD?

    Just curious how many people have 4WD or 2WD. If you have it, how often do you use it? I have 4WD on my SUV, and needed it this past weekend. It really came in handy, but other than that I rarely use it.

    How old is too old?

    I think what make of vehicle it is, how many miles, what condition it's in, etc matter more. I don't think I'd spend a lot of money on something over 10 years old, unless it was a classic.

    Saltwater bad for your paint?

    Why is Saltwater bad for the paint on your car? I am always told to wash off the salt right after it snows, and when at the beach to keep it off my car. Why?

    When you notice something wrong....

    I usually look into myself pretty quickly. If it's something serious I'll take it to get it looked at. If it's nothing big I'll either fix it myself or maybe put it off a few days.

    Hail Damage

    Dang it! I knew as soon as the storm started last night, it was going to be bad. Little did I know my poor hood was going to be beat by golf ball sized ice. I'm so bummed about this. I already called my insurance, and hope to get it fixed quickly. This has never happened to me. :mmph:

    Leather jackets

    I think any protection is going to be layers, which is hot. Usually the wind is so strong, you stay pretty cool though. If you're going to be doing a lot of sitting in red lights, or riding in traffic I'm sure it would get hot.

    Midlife crisis car (or truck)

    I think I have too many to pick just one. If price wasn't an option I would get a Candy Apple Red Shelby Mustang. I think that's a pretty good MLCC.

    Driving to the Beach

    Oh yes, the tourist season. I can't stand traveling on the interstate this time of year. Everything seems to just get so busy. I'm not going to the beach yet, but I am looking forward to it.

    Gas, what are you paying?

    It seems to be coming down some. I paid $3.69 yesterday, which is the lowest I have seen in months. Let's hope it keeps on dropping back into the $2.00 range. What are you paying?

    Surviving a tornado - in a truck

    That's crazy. I have lived through one tornado, years ago. I was in a bath tub with my momma. I didn't see anything because she all but laid on top of me, with a mattress on top of us. To this day I cannot believe that woman carried a queen mattress to the bathroom to protect us. She's 5'4 and...

    Hot, hot, hot

    Yesterday and today were both gross. I was outside working this afternoon and I thought I was going to puke. I don't mind heat, but I cannot stand humidity. We must be breaking some records.

    Your favorite highway or road to drive on

    I've never been to California, but I love driving along the Blue Ridge Parkway. The views are amazing, it's stress free. I love the pull offs that overlook specific sites. I will never pass up a drive, up there.

    Do you wear glasses?

    No I don't, but my sister had to get glasses for driving. I can't remember whether she's near or far sighted, but one of those made driving hard for her. Especially at night. The glasses really made it better.
