    Repairing a scratch

    I have done pretty well to repair a scratch on my car. I followed a procedure I found online up to sanding the surface of the touch up paint. But what kind of a product do you use to restore the shine to the paint after you have sanded?

    Drivers working at home?

    The kind of work that I do doesn't really lend itself to being able to work from home. I don't ever see myself being in a position to do that.

    Loaning Your Vehicle

    I would rather drive someone someplace that they need to go rather than turn my car keys over to somebody else. Even if I trust a person, bad things can happen just because they are not familiar with my car.

    Is this stuff any good?

    I've recently learned a little about microlon engine treatment. I've been reading that it creates a permanent lubricant that binds to metallic parts and therefore reduces friction, increases power, fuel economy, etc etc. Is this stuff any good?

    Re-doing vinyl interior

    Generally how much would it cost to have my vinyl interior redone? Is it priced per square foot? I know for sure Im going to get the doors redone. Not sure about seats yet. I was just gonna buy some nice racing bucket seats.

    Pets in cars?

    I crate my two dogs in the back of my pick up. They are not allowed inside the cab. We have a pet barrier screen in the SUV, and they are restricted to the cargo area.

    Leaving cars unlocked

    We live out in the country, so we never lock our vehicles. Someone would really have to come out of their way to get to our place, so it's not an issue.

    Good V6 sedans?

    I'm looking to find a reliable, relatively low maintenance V6 sedan for about $4k-$5k. What makes do you think are good to be looking at? I would prefer something American made.

    "Self healing" paint

    Have you heard of this new kind of paint that self-repairs minor flaws? I've heard a lot about the "self healing paint", but I can't find where to buy it.

    Minivan vs. Big SUV

    I have a Chevy Trailblazer, and it's a great size for everything I need it to do. It's bigger than a Ford Explorer or a Chevy Blazer, but not as big as a Ford Expedition or a Chevy Suburban. It gets 19mpg.

    Stolen cars

    I never had a vehicle stolen, but I had a couple that were broken into. Either way, it's a lousy feeling to have your vehicle targeted like that.

    Nature vs. Cars

    Cars have definitely done more damage to nature than nature has done to cars in the long run though. I'll get depressed if I think about it.

    I think that is a really great idea. I know that it's a section of the forum that I would really enjoy and would visit often.

    "Automatic" seat belts

    Those things! They always moved too fast if you weren't thinking about it and had a cup of coffee in your hand, and a lot slower than if you just clicked a manual locking belt.

    Honda CRV

    A number of years ago Consumer Reports rated the Honda CRV as one of the most unsafe vehicles on the road. Maybe things have changed. I think April is CR's car issue. Maybe you should check it out.

    Toolbox for truck

    I had a bed cover for a number of years on my previous truck. This time around I went without one. Bed covers have their pluses, but I always found it was hard to get at things.

    How many miles on your engine?

    I traded in my 1999 Ford F250 with 140,000 miles on it a year ago. I got $3000 trade in value towards a used diesel F250 with 25,000 miles on it. I feel I got my money's worth.

    Squirrels on my Car!

    I had a friend that had the experience of some squirrels making a nest under the hood. The dog was going crazy about something with the car. She popped the hood open and there they were!

    New Cell Phone

    I don't have a cell phone. I had one once while I built my house. After that I found that I really didn't need one and that a land line phone sufficed. Much less costly too.
