Did you or will you be having a number of guests in your home for the holidays? We don't exactly have enough room for everyone who's coming, but hotels here are so expensive at that time of year. One of our family friends is actually planning to pitch a tent in the backyard and "camp out" with...

It's a little early to get excited, but I just came across this article and wanted to ask if anyone else was a fan of the Grand Theft Auto game series. I think San Andreas was my favorite one! http://www.autoevolution.com/news/grand-theft-auto-v-to-be-launched-in-2012-27077.html

Is this something any of you have heard of or even done? I'm having a few friends over for a couple weeks and they mentioned how they plan to "couch surf" around for a while, and apparently there's a website for it! People can make plans for couches to crash on on the site - it's crazy, but awesome!

I just had a friend come in for the holidays on his bike; he said it was raining for a good part of his trip and made it miserable, but he pushed through. I sure hope he wouldn't have tried that if the roads had gotten icy. What's the worst weather you would "push through"?

Do you have loyalty to any particular make of car? Why? Do you think that whatever great characteristics you associate with the brand are legitimate and can be proven, or is it a result of marketing or family loyalty?

Do you think your family could do it? In so many places, this is a rule, and as long as public transport is readily available people seem to make due. What stops you from making this kind of change?

I've got decals from the sound system I've installed, the alarm system I've installed, a couple of car communities I belong to...I'm hesitant to put them all on, because I think it would just be too much, but at the same time they do all look pretty cool and could add a nice touch. Do you guys...

There are so many options out there; is there any real difference between the brands? I think I use a different brand every time I change it - I can't imagine that being a problem, but does anyone have a brand they love for any particular reason?

I've had a decent set in my car for a while now, and it sounds fine with only one amp. A friend of mine recently though recommended I upgrade to two amps for more power. Is this necessary, or is he being overzealous?

There are some people I know that I wouldn't let drive my car. It's easy when they're under 26 to state that as a reason when applicable, but sometimes it's someone older than that. It's hard for a friend to realize that I'd prefer they not drive it - but it's my car!

I really dislike when people think that, just because a car has performance parts on it, the person must be a "racer." Some people can simply appreciate performance parts for their durability and increased contribution to the car's efficiency, okay? I can't be alone on this...

The article is mostly focused on Reading, Pennsylvania, but it's a trend happening all over the country. Lenders are definitely beginning to offer rates below the national average, so if you're hoping to buy, shop well for a lender...

I have a friend who uses a car that he races on occasion as a street car as well. He keep racing slicks (tires) in his trunk for his back wheels when he needs them. He doesn't have a spare, and I wonder sometimes if he ever got a flat and had to use one of the slicks as a spare, whether it would...

I once bought new, shiny, "custom" (hah) hubcaps for my car when I was 17. I had them on for ONE DAY before they were stolen off of my car overnight. If I want to make my wheels look good now, I go all-out and save for rims. A little harder to steal, especially if you have special lug nuts that...

Growing up, my mother never allowed us to eat in the car. If we picked food up, it stayed in the bag until we got home. I have eaten in my car on occasion, but recently a friend started eating a burger in my car after going through a drive-though, and I had to hold back a gut reaction to tell...

I remember hearing some people talking about something you put in your gas tank and it causes a lot of smoke to come out of your exhaust for a short time, but as it moves through the car's system it cleans as it goes. Has anyone heard of this and knows what it's called?

I see these green parking spots popping up in quite a few places - some even have "charging stations" for the cars! Have you seen them where you live, and and what kinds of places? I've seen them especially at shopping centers and malls.

I've been driving a friend's Toyota Tacoma on occasion lately, and have noticed that it seems sluggish in second gear. It's almost as if once I put it in second, someone throws a load of sand in the bed of the truck. Any ideas on what could be wrong?
