    Charging station stock

    GM or GE, I can't remember which, was running commercials in my area about putting up charging stations across the country. It's a good idea, even if it takes a few years for these things to finally take off.

    What does a speed camera look like?

    I think Mythbusters did something that proved that the LED light thing doesn't work. I honestly have never stopped to look at one, but I think they're pretty inconspicuous because I have seen flashes in places I had never expected to see one.

    New stoplights

    Cool! We had a storm a few years back that was so bad it caused some of the traffic lights to fall right off of their lines, so the government was forced to replace them. It was a nice upgrade.

    How Much Do You Spend?

    How much do you spend on people for the holidays? I really don't have enough to go over about $50 for the important people this year, and I'll only be able to spend about $20 on the less-close-to-me friends and family.

    Guests for the Holidays

    I tend to visit family and there's usually room, at least on a couch or air mattress, anyway. I know that my place isn't big enough to host anything, even a meal, so I'm always out somewhere for the holidays.

    How small...

    I don't mind a 2-door, but those 2-seater electric and Smart Cars really don't do it for me. I like having at least 4 seats so that I can give friends rides and carry my "stuff" when moving around, which I seem to do often.

    Car Bluetooth Capabilities

    My mother just got a new car that can connect using bluetooth to her cell phone and let her make hands-free calls. There's even a microphone near the ignition so she doesn't have to talk into her phone or raise her voice. I can't stop hearing about it; why? Because she calls me EVERY time she's...

    Slow Leak

    I have the same problem, but I haven't tried Stop Leak. What does it do? I've just been checking my water before each drive and saving up for the inevitable radiator change.

    Xenon Headlights?

    I haven't but I think part of it is because I really don't like when I'm driving towards someone else on a dark road who is using them. They are a bit TOO bright for me, in that situation, and they can be quite blinding.

    A somewhat good tool....

    I think you can usually get a much better tour, more close-up and including interior shots, from the car company's website itself. It might not be as easy as having them all in one place, but if it's what you want I'd just go to the source.

    LA Car Show

    I miss living in LA for stuff like this. A car show on Thanksgiving, and I have no doubt at all that there will be a great turnout. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/michael-rose/la-auto-show-green-cars-a_b_786328.html

    Tire Siping

    Does that weaken the tire in any way? I'd be nervous about cutting into my tire when it seems they're always encouraging you to change them at any significant sign of wear.

    Consumer Reports

    I'm not willing to get a subscription, but if that end of the year issue is available online I can get to before Christmas, that might help me out a lot with my Christmas shopping!

    Ever got a car for Christmas?

    Lol Monty. I never have, and honestly...a completely-paid-for car is probably not in the cards for me, as I don't know anyone who could afford that. It'd be more likely that someone do the paperwork for me and then help me with the payments.

    What's Your Favorite "Car" Movie

    The kids movie, "Cars," was great in my opinion because of the wide range of cars and references made that car fanatics would understand. That's the one that really stands out in my head.

    Ever Consider Getting a Pilot's License?

    As someone who loves driving, it's not a long jump to love the idea of flying. I'm not intending to change careers or anything, but I like to think that one day I might be able to buy a small private plane and take it places. Anyone with me?

    Wine Stains

    Yikes; is it just the floorboard, like, carpet, or did it get on the leather seat as well? I remember seeing something on TV the other day that you could just spray on to stains and it would make them disappear, but I don't know if it's safe for leather.

    Mobile Detail Businesses - Detail Your Vehicle!

    I am going to HAVE to upload a picture of a van I saw yesterday on the road to put in here, but oh...my...goodness. A mobile detailing business is driving around in the most beat-up, scratched-up, dirtiest condition in my area. If you're running that kind of business, you'd think you'd go out of...

    Cheap Wax-Beware

    Yeah, sorry to hear you wasted your time on that - at least it wasn't a lot of money. The buffing for me is the most annoying part of fixing something like this; all the work you put into putting it on just to have to work again to take it off.

    Howdy

    I agree with you, lol, never make what you enjoy into your job, or else when the job gets hard you lose the enjoyment. Welcome to the forums!
