I was in at least three car accidents where I was the driver. Each accident brought with it a lesson that made me more careful. In all these accidents, I was thankful I was unharmed. In one of them, I was hit by an armored van. When we both went down to check the damages, the guy who came down...

Outside of coffee, I drink energizer drinks that are available in all convenient stores under different brand names. Some come in ready-to-drink bottles. Some come in sachet, the contents of which you must mix with a bottle of water.

@LDrive, that's absolutely cool! I'm not alone in using this technology, then. @MomVan, Yes, you can shuffle the songs, depending on the features of your phone. My mobile phone allows you to repeat the entire playlist and shuffle them each time.

Dust is a given. The very reason why we wax our car, outside of making it look good, is for the dust *not* to stick on our car body. If your car has been waxed and shined well, the dust should easily be taken out by a dry cloth.

Car stickers expose a lot about the person driving it. One car sticker said, "Honk me a 73." I happen to be a Ham (an amateur radio operator) that's why I knew what that meant. It meant, say hello to me by honking your horn this way long-long-short-short-short pause short-short-short-long-long...

It's the economy, obviously. I think I read somewhere in this forum that it's the used car business that's experiencing a rise in business these past few years.

Mathilda ... was the sales guy with a daughter who was a genius, and with whom he cannot relate at all? If so, indeed I saw that he was tampering with the odometer. For brand new cars, what the salesmen wouldn't tell you is how low you can get in the car financing aspect. The other thing they...

This article is very useful: http://www.autosupportforum.com/repair/car-upholstery-repair-tips/ Do your repair your own upholstery? I think it would save some real dollars if you known how to do it. The alternative to this is to dress up your car seats with seat covers, which should be easy...

Motorcycle Taxi . . . does this mean you ride at the back of the motorcycle? or does the motorcyle has some contraption where the passenger sits? I've seen a lot of these kinds of transportation in the Philippines. Here's a picture . . .

Yes, LOL! He used coveralls only when he wore something formal underneath. I think he wore it to protect the formal clothing inside from dirt. But he still wore the leather jacket on top of the cover all. Oh what a warm outfit. Not a good idea during summer.

I was stopped for beating the red light, LOL! No, it wasn't actually funny. The other time I got stopped by a policeman was when I got out of a street that was supposed to have all cars coming in only -- it was a one way street. Actually what happened was I went into that street, then I...

The person I was talking to in a car display in the mall was a salesman. He couldn't explain to me why his company is selling only two versions of the sedan: either a 1.4L M/T or 1.6L A/T. I asked if I can have a 1.6L M/T. He told me sorry they didn't have that. Any idea why a company would...

I have no doubt it's technically possible to travel the world with your car. I just don't know how one can legally drive his or her car in other countries. Do other countries recognize the plate numbers of a car from another country? Or would other countries require a new plate or something?

It's an unusual color, definitely. It's why it would stand out. Certainly you don't have a taste for it, but she has. It's also her subtle strategy to discourage male members of the family from borrowing her car for whatever reason, LOL!

It's really up to you. Yes, you're skipping the upgrades but you're not really missing them. The key question is, do you really need those upgrades to begin with? Apparently, the answer is no. Besides, with the economy these days, prudence is a virtue that really shines.
