    Belt popping

    You need to get it seen to-as soon as humanly possible. What would happen if that happened during a crash? The occupant would be through the wind shield, or worse.

    Is your child in a booster?

    My child is large and old enough to not be in a booster (legally by our state)-yet she still rides in a booster. I know that it's the safest place for her, and the place most likely to let her survive.

    Difference Driving Diesel

    No, I've never driven a tank! But I have driven several older-much larger-direct steer petrol cars. All were much lighter and easier to drive than this little diesel was.

    Sport cars?

    I tend to agree. I'd rather drop $40k on a really good family car than blow three times that on a sports car. It wouldn't service my needs, in any way, shape or form.

    The Royal Wedding

    It's not my thing either, but I did check out the Aston Martin. I love the car, I love the brand-some of the most amazing cars ever in my opinion.

    Do you really like driving?

    Yes, I really like driving. I didn't, for a very long time, because I was so nervous about certain situations. Now however, I've got a grip on my fears and I really enjoy it.

    Sun Baked Blacktop

    How do the hottest states deal with the fact that the blacktop gets so hot? Where I am it gets sticky in the hottest months sometimes, but what about down South?

    Tree Sap

    Why aren't they good in the winter? Is it anything to do with the fact that the cover will get wet and freeze to the paint of the car (risking damage that way)?

    Comfort

    My driving seat is one of the most comfortable places in the world for me. Now, my legs eventually ache because they are short-so getting a perfect distance can be hard. But I don't have any problems with the seat itself.

    Car seats for infants

    Its not a matter of the car seat not being able to go in the front-it can. It's simply not safe, because of the car design. In a head on collision (which is the more common) the kid is safest in the back. It would take a complete car redesign for this to be different.

    Difference Driving Diesel

    I had my first opportunity to drive a diesel this week. Let me say-I hated it. Thing was like driving a tank. Do you or have you driven a diesel and if so-did you like it?

    Tree Sap

    Where I park I can't avoid the stuff. I have no choice as to where to park either, but it's making me wash my car too often! How can I protect it better-is it worth using a cover?

    Insurance Deductibles

    See, when I worked it out it just wasn't worth the higher deductible. The fees were only a small amount higher to completely do away with my deductible, so I figure why not.

    Buying gas, this is so stupid

    Thankfully I live a block away from the cheapest place in town when it comes to gas. I'm glad that I do, but I wouldn't go driving in order to find somewhere cheaper.

    "Automatic" seat belts

    Wow, those were incredibly weird belts. A friend of mine still has a car with this kind of belt. I always found it somewhat odd, but they are strapped for cash so keep it going.
