    Back to work!

    I just had a great spring break with my girlfriend and mother and now it's time to go back to work. :ohwell: I really wish I could take a week off from work every month. I should start playing the lotto. :shocked:

    Tire shine

    I bought a bottle of this spray liquid that is supposed to make my tires shine like new and I was wondering how long this stuff is supposed to last? Won't the liquid wash off when I take my car to the wash? I tried to buy that Armorall brand, but they didn't have it.

    Door dings

    Don't you just love people who swing their doors open when parked next to your car and they dent your door or scratch paint off? Where is the respect for other people's property? I'm just ranting because I found a new mark in my door today. :mmph:

    Jiffy Lube

    I go to Jiffy Lube to get my oil changed to stay away from the regular mechanics that want to tell me I need 3,000 dollars worth of work done everytime I take my car in. The guy at Jiffy Lube is starting to get on my nerves now too. They keep recommending more and more and he even tried to make...

    Car makeover

    I just gave my car a nice makeover today that made it look like a new car practically inside. I cleaned it very well and then installed brand new seat covers and all new floor mats and a nice hanging airfreshener. I tell you I feel a lot better about driving my car now!

    Reliability of auctions

    I've never been to an auction and all the information I have about them has been from just infomercials saying you can make so much money buying and selling them, but what about just buying for yourself? Are there really good deals you can get or can you get stuck with a car that doesn't even...

    Breaking down on a trip

    Have you ever been on a road trip in another state and had your car break down? Thankfully, it has never happened to me, but I honestly don't know what I'd do. I guess vacation would be over and I would probably have to find a way to phone a local tow truck and a cab to a nearby hotel to take me...

    Bikers

    I use to be under the impression that bikers where all a bunch of guys with bad attitudes and not friendly at all. I guess I watched too many movies. I was able to go with a friend of mine that rides, to a place near the beach where it's basically a biker hangout and restaurant. Not only was the...

    Using an Ipod in the car

    I bought this little device a long time ago that plugs into my Ipod to use it in the car. The way it works is that you have three radio stations to pick from and use to get the reception or something. The problem is that it's never clear and they never give good radio stations that stay with...

    Replacing a dashboard

    My girlfriend has an older Chevy Cavalier and the dashboard is in very bad shape. It's cracked everywhere and large chunks are missing. Would it be wiser to find the part she needs at a junkyard instead of going to a dealer or mechanic? She only paid 2000 for the car and she doesn't want to...

    Key ring

    The key ring for my nissan that you use to open the car with and set the alarm won't stay closed so I asked the Nissan dealer how much it is to get it replaced and they said 180 bucks! That sounds crazy to me. I'm going to walk around with tape on it for a while. I can't fork over that kind of...

    Coca-Cola stains

    What should I use to get Coke stains off of my passenger seat and floor? I spilled a large drink on that side when I went to pick it up out of the cup holder and the lid came off. I was driving so at least I didn't crash, but I do have an ugly mess.

    Red light cameras

    I'm getting tired of these new Red light cameras they are installing everywhere in my area. They go off when people make right turns on red and they are very blinding to my eyes when I'm in oncoming traffic. Sometimes I have to slam on the brakes, because of my timing at an intersection just...

    Wasting money on a car wash

    Sometimes I think it's just a waste to wash my car down here, because it seems after I pay to get it done, it rains the next day or so and it's dirty again. I wish I had a garage, but I don't. Maybe next time I'll just stand in the rain with a sponge and soap.

    Stealing the hood ornament!

    Ok, my car isn't new at all and their are plenty of newer and nicer ones in the complex I live, yet someone stole the Nissan logo off the front of my car last weekend! I wish I could find out who did it. I think the thing was plastic anyways. Makes me angry for someone to deface my personal...

    Installing a new dashboard

    My girlfriend bought a used car with a dashboard that is in bad condition with cracks and is falling apart. She found the piece she needs for her car to put in a new one, but we'd like to do it ourselves instead of taking it and paying a mechanic. My question is, how does it come off? I don't...

    Brake pads

    I got brand new brake pads installed about a year ago. I've been getting the screaching sound when I brake now for the past week or so. Aren't new brake pads supposed to last longer than this? I can't let them go either, because I don't want to have to fork over money for rotors too.

    CarMax

    For those that know about CarMax, do you think they give you a fair value for your car when they buy it or would it be best to just try to sell it privately first and use that dealer as a last resort. I have sold a car to them, but it was an old car and not in good condition. I got 500 dollars...

    Seat covers

    I've never used seat covers, but I was thinking about getting one for my drivers seat. I started playing tennis now and when I'm done I'm completely drenched in sweat and I don't want to keep getting my seat all wet from the sweat because it might end up smelling. I want to know if they have...

    Oil change frequency

    Are they accurate when they put that little sticker on your window telling you when you need your next oil change, or do you have some time after the mileage they suggest? I'm not current on my next service, because I've been really busy on the weekends and I am a couple hundred miles over their...
