What is a good starter car for a 16 year old? My daughter thinks I’m buying her a Mustang (it’s her favorite too) for her 16th birthday- she is out of her mind. What do you think would be a good starter car? I am thinking some old car that has a lot of miles but runs well. A good used car...

What is in your trunk? My trunk is pretty empty (needs to be so I can get goodies in it when I shop). I do have a pair of jumper cables, spare tire, jack, tire iron, etc. in the trunk. In the winter I toss in a blanket, coats, extra gloves and cat litter. The cat litter is in case I get...

I see so many Bigger vehicles on the road these days, I don’t know how people can afford to drive them. My car is pretty good with gas mileage so I know the bigger trucks and hummers can’t be. Gas is so expensive these days! Do you own a big vehicle? I just can’t imagine the gas bill each week.

My stinking muffler clamp (or whatever it’s called) keeps breaking off. I hear a bump bump bump and realize it is the muffler. The clamp thing keeps breaking off. I don’t want to lose the muffler but my hubby is sick of making new clamps. I told him to order one from the manufacture and...

My mom’s car is rusting out around the gas cap door. She always wipes off gas if it drips there too. How can she get that fixed? Will they just sand it out and repaint it right there? Is there anything we can do ourselves, so it is not so expensive?

How often are you washing your car in the winter? I like to wash mine at least once every week. I hate the salt and yuk that gets on the car in the winter. I even try to spray underneath the car each time I was it. I don’t know if washing it this often helps keep the paint fresh but I like...

It always seems like I need to get gas when it is freezing outside! Brrrr…. Where did all the full service gas stations go? Does anyone have any near them? I don’t think I’ve seen these in forever. I remember we went to New Jersey and was surprised to see the gas attendant come out to fill...

Is there such a thing as “bad gas”? I switched gas stations recently and my car has been acting real funny. It’s like gasping for gas at times and it’s jumpy! Could it be bad gas or something more serious? Can bad gad do something to the engine? I don’t want it to be anything costly!

I keep hearing a noise from my back tire (wheel) when I make a left hand turn (sharp). I have checked and there is no ice or any build up under there. It's like a klunk noise. I have a Pontiac Vibe.

What kind of tires do you use in the winter months? Do you change your tires to winter tires? Or do you run all-season tires all year round? This year we put tires on the front of my car that have studs on them. They are supposed to grip better and stop you from slipping in the snow. I have...

How often do you put dry gas in your vehicle (in the winter)? I don’t do it with every fill-up but I do put it in every other fill-up. I’m not real sure it’s even doing anything beneficial to the vehicle. I don’t really notice anything different anyway. I think it’s for condensation and...

So my drivers side head light is gone again. I just had it fixed on July 4th! What a rip off. Not sure what could be causing it to keep dying? Anyone?

My cousins son was picking his scab yesterday in my car (he had one on his foot). I didn't know of course- GROSS.... so anyway when I went to get some things out this morning I saw this blood on the back seat. My daughter told me what happened. How do I get it out? It's dry as it sat over night.

I tell you I'm sick of the birds around me. I no sooner wash the car and a bird poops on it. He must have been eating berries too as the poop was red! Drives me crazy. Don't you just hate this!

I'm telling you I'm sick of the dirty window. I tried to clean it with Windex and paper towels and it's streaky and hard to see out of in the morning. What is the best way to clean the inside of the windshield?

Grrr... I was driving home last night from a fireworks show. There were tons of cops all around directing traffic and I had a headlight out. I didn't know prior to leaving or I would have changed it! Luckily for me, they just told me to fix it. I think it was too busy to try to stop me and...

Do you have to have your vehicle inspected every year? I think in some states you don't have to have a yearly inspection. How would they know if they vehicle is safe to be on the road? We have to have them inspected every year in NY!

We have been to a lot of parades lately and I have to say my favorite part (after the bands) is the old fashion cars. They are so cool and neat. Does anyone own one?

I know in my car we sometimes spray down the motor (I'm not sure why though). I'm wondering if you are supposed to do the same with a motorcycle? Would it make it rusty as there is little protection over it?

I don't mind riding with my hubby when he goes out on the bike, but I hate the seat. It's small and I am always uncomfortable after about 30 minutes. I keep asking him to get a bigger seat in the back!
