    How do you sleep?

    I can never sleep in just one position. Before falling completely asleep, I will normally flip over multiple times. Usually, I end up sleeping on one of my sides. If you ask me, the special "side sleeper" pillows do nothing for me. All pillows work the same for me!

    Halloween Rides

    How neat! I enjoyed watching the slideshow. I, also, recognized most of the vehicles before reading the caption. I was surprised by my knowledge of Halloween rides!

    Cars in the floods

    I would think that most of the vehicles would have insurance of some type. However, I am unsure if their insurance would cover flood water damages. It's just nothing something that a lot of people think they will ever need, unfortunately.

    How low are gas prices?

    $2.99 a gallon?!? Lucky! We are sitting at about $3.50 per gallon. Not too long ago it was up to $3.99 a gallon. I think that the companies around here are afraid to go over the $4.00 mark.

    Is OnStar worth it?

    My parents had OnStar installed on their newest vehicle when they bought it. After the 1 month trial period (or whatever it was) they decided not to renew it and pay the extra fee every month. For us, it really isn't a necessity, and we hope it stays that way!

    Have bikes gotten any safer?

    I was just thinking about this today. Today should be my Uncle's 53rd birthday, but he was tragically killed 26 years ago in a motorcycle accident. Have bikes gotten any safer over the years or are they still as dangerous as they always have been? You would think over the years, they would...

    Getting hurricane backlash

    I had no idea that Hurricane Sandy was affected people in states that far inland. That's pretty surprising! I'm in Pennsylvania, so we got hit pretty good. I have some family in New Jersey...not sure how they are doing, but we are all hoping for the best.

    Heater problems

    I have a similar problem, except my car does not shake. If I am driving up a hill with AC/heat/etc my car loses A TON of power! Normally, I will just turn off the AC/heat until the car has sped up significantly or made it over a hill/mountain.

    Steering wheel squeaks

    Does anyone else have a problem with their steering wheel squeaking? Is it something I should get checked out? I just started noticing it within the past month or so. I thought it may have something to do with the increasingly cold temperatures. As far as I can tell, the squeakiness has not...

    Winter Driving

    I really do not have much of a choice. I only have one vehicle, and it doesn't do too well with a lot of snow. It is fine to drive in a reasonable amount of snow, but it can't handle a foot of snow or more.

    Warming the car up

    I really want to get a remote starter installed on my car. I hear they don't cost too much, and I think it could be a great investment for me. There is nothing worse, than being cold & having to get into an even colder vehicle!

    Hurricane Sandy

    I am currently in Pennsylvania; halfway between Pittsburgh & Erie. Looks like we are mostly supposed to get with heavy winds and rain. If it were much cooler, we would probably get buried under a few feet of snow! I have a few friends who go to college near Philadelphia (I believe), and their...

    Wipe New

    The other day I saw an infomercial for a product called Wipe New. It is some formula that helps to clean your car, and make it look new & shiny. There slogan is "Showroom new in just one wipe". Has anyone ever used it? Does it actually work?

    Be careful on thos bikes

    It makes me nervous when a motorcycle is driving near me! I have heard my fair share of horror stories from people who have witnessed motorcycle crashes, or were involved in one themselves. It's a scary and serious situation.

    Chevy Volt

    The Chevy Volt is interesting looking. Personally, it is not something that I would choose to purchase and drive. I prefer the Chevy Cruze. It is a bit cheaper, but I think they are somewhat similar.
