    Spinning Rims Fad Over

    I'm sure you have all seen those rims that spin when the car is stopped. I haven't seen any in a while and was wondering if the fad died out or are there still a lot of them out there?

    "Automatic" seat belts

    I used to have a car with those moving shoulder belts. I never really cared for them and would often have it unplugged because it was annoying. This is one feature I am glad to see go. Now, how to get rid of that beeping? ;)

    I fell for it!

    Thanks for the tip. I haven't done this before, but now that I think of it I never really pay too much attention to that. I will have to keep a sharp eye from now on. Thanks for the warning.

    Painted Grill

    Having this part painted is probably your best option. I always like the color matched look on these kind of trucks. Hope to see some pics if you get it done.

    Rain-X

    Has anyone used this product before? I have heard that it has great results. I will be traveling a couple hundred miles in a few weeks and was thinking of giving this a try before I leave.

    Least favorite

    I'm into muscle cars myself. I would love to get my hands on a '65 Mustang GT Two of the cars I consider to be the most hideous right now is the Nissan Cube and the Scion Xb. I think that they look like boxes on wheels rolling down the road. No offense meant to anyone driving one of these...

    Rollovers

    The taller and skinnier the vehicle the higher the risk of a rollover. My friend has a Ford pickup truck and he actually has stickers from the factory on the visors warning of the "high rollover risk".

    Talk radio

    I have the same set up as Marvin. I have a Sportster with the cradles. I have had great luck with the Sirius Radio. Back when satellite radio first came out I was vacationing in Arizona and had rented a vehicle. The car came with the Sirius Radio and I got hooked. It was so nice to be able to...

    Think it will hit $5.00??

    I can't even imagine this $5 per gallon you're speaking of. Unfortunately, I think we may see this and I really hope that it doesn't last long. When the cost of gas goes up everything else follows.

    Car crashes

    I think there are one too many distracted drivers out there. I think a lot of this new technology (cell phones, gps, etc.) can be very distracting to the most experienced driver.

    Fogged Headlight

    I have recently noticed some fogging in my passenger side headlight. I know they sell kits to clear a foggy light. What I have appears to be on the inside of the lens. Is there anything I can do to try to cure this, or should I look into getting a new light?

    Car dealer scams

    Thanks for the heads up and great tips. I have been going to the same dealer since my first vehicle and have grown a great relationship together. Cars are a BIG investment, so purchasing from someone you can trust is a must.

    Kids Dang!

    Keeping the kids occupied on long trips is critical to maintaining your sanity. I have a portable DVD player that helps keep the kids occupied. I got it about a year ago from Best Buy. It was much cheaper than buying the headrest monitors. So far it has been worth every penny.

    Upgraded Stereos

    Hey everyone, Lately I have been pondering upgrading the stock radio in my 2001 Toyota Camry. I was thinking of getting an aftermarket head unit and possibly some new rear speakers with an amplifier. I was wondering what everyone is running for their stereo. Stock or aftermarket?

    Fly windows

    My brother has a Ford F150 and what I think is kind of cool about it is there are defroster vents built right into the door panel that only blow directly onto the glass. I think these are supposed to be the modern day version of those fly windows.
