    Decent mileage standards coming?

    I will be needing a car in the next year or so. I'm considering just holding off for a couple of years and getting by with our one vehicle in hopes that decent mileage standards will be required by the government. What would you do?

    Cracked windshield

    We took a stone kicked up by a big semi-truck that was in front of us, and it cracked the windshield. What a bite! Is that something that is generally covered in full by insurance, or does your deductible apply?

    Good motorcycle for a beginner?

    I am considering buying a used motorcycle in preparation for summer. I have the opportunity to do an internship about ten miles away from where I live, and our other vehicle will be in use by other family members vacationing. Can anyone recommend one for a beginner?

    Do you plan to be doing any road trips during the holidays? Is it possible that road conditions where you are planning to go may be hazardous? If so, will you cancel your trip or go anyhow?

    Why can't we figure this out?

    I wonder how many years it will take until bio-diesel becomes readily available. With as much forest and agricultural bio material available in this country, why can't we figure this out?

    Back-up sensor

    We bought a nice truck used just recently. It came with a back-up sensor. That thing has REALLY helped to prevent bumping into things while in reverse. I didn't know this feature was an option before this, did you?

    Sort of a trade in??

    I sold my vehicle and it has a different tire size than my old vehicle. I have good snow tires from the old vehicle. When I go to buy snow tires for the new one, is it possible the dealer will take the old ones as sort of a trade in??

    Worth it?

    I have never had my car professionally detailed. Is it worth it to do it once a year as part of "spring cleaning" or is it more the type of thing you did before selling?

    Procrastination

    I knew I shouldn't have procrastinated on getting my snow tires put on! We had our first snow last night! (It's way early this year....hope it's not a sign of things to come!)

    Can't afford them

    I heard on the news that a lot of people have just plain sold their cars because they can't afford them in the present economy. It's to the point that lots of municipalities are seeing much less revenue come in from registration fees.

    A million miles

    I heard on the news the other day about some guy who put a million miles on his Camry, so the company awarded him a new car. Is that cool, or what! The guy said doing the scheduled maintenance was the key.

    I heard earlier today that all troops will be withdrawn from Iraq by Christmas! There are 40,000 troops over there. Do you know anyone who has served in Iraq?

    Automatic Locks

    Our truck has automatic electric locks like most vehicles these days. It automatically unlocks only the driver side when you park it. I often have items I want to get from the passenger side, but it's always locked on that side! Is there some sort of setting I can change to adjust this so...

    Nissan Cube

    We were camping recently, and there was a big drive-away motor home that was towing a Nissan Cube---and that's exactly what it looked like. Ever see one? Extremely compact. It looked well designed.

    Performance chips

    What can you tell me about performance chips? I have heard about these devices, but I don't know much about them. Do they really help that much? What about cost?

    Car seats for infants

    I understand why car seats for infants have to go in the back seat, but it sure would be nice if they invented one that go in the front seat. When it's just you and the baby in the car, it would be nice to have the baby close to you.
