    Uneven tread wear on my new tires

    FB makes a good point, there. If you check the pressure, you may find that it is off and you can adjust enough to fix the wearing. Worth checking!

    How often do you really need to get your tires rotated?

    My tires rotate every time I drive my car! Around and around they go... yeah, well. As far as moving them from one corner to another, I rarely do anything about that.

    Procrastination

    Snow tires can be a pain, can't they? Aren't you glad that you can get by with snow tires and don't have to mess with chains?

    Insurance

    Yeah, for a kid just starting out these days, it's cheaper if you add on to your parents' policy. Even at that, it could be $1,000 a year or more. Usually it's paid every six months.

    Radio

    I've gotten to where I ignore most of the commercials. I just run the radio in the background for noise anyway, so it's not loud enough to be a big problem.

    Video games in the car

    I don't have a tv in my car. None of those newfangled gadgets for me - well, except that GPS, but it was something my mother decided I needed last Christmas.

    Overhang space

    Looks to me like you'd either have to have an extra tall garage or an extra short car to make this work well, but it's a nice idea, sure enough.

    What do you have?

    I got floor mats, and seat covers. I had a steering wheel cover, but it didn't last long. I haven't done much with hardware - added a GPS, but that's about it.

    Retake License Test

    What state is that, FB? I've been in a few different states without having had that requirement. I'm not sure I want to live in a state where I have to keep retesting.

    Road Trip Snacks

    I chew gum when I'm driving, mostly. I keep a drink handy, but if I get hungry, I do like UGG and just pull in somewhere and eat. I eat better when I'm not moving.

    I want my own car!

    Jeeps are nice. I'm fairly fond of them myself. I'm not so much interested in a Wrangler as a bigger one. Maybe a Laredo. Need cargo space, you know.

    Flat tire - twice

    I went out to go to work the other day and the front passenger-side tire was flat. I got it fixed and three days later it went flat again. There wasn't any obvious hole. Ended up having to buy a brand new one! Argh.

    Burnouts

    Ah, this is where you heard of donuts! As for burnouts, I quit doing those when I became an adult. No purpose for 'em and they are a bit hard on the tires.

    Donuts?

    Donuts are what you get on the snow when you spin your car around 360º. I haven't done it in a very long time, but when I was a teenager, it was great sport.

    Can't afford them

    While I wouldn't want to be without my car, I think that public transportation is a good thing when it's done right. I grew up in a town with a public bus system, and it was nice to know I could get anywhere in town just by dropping a coin in the box.

    Car market going electric?

    From what I've read, you can plug 'em in to any outlet, so there's no need for "charging stations" because you just have to get permission to plug it in anywhere. Also, it seems it doesn't use all that much electricity.

    "Taliban Toyota" wins lawsuit

    I suppose that the other guy shouldn't have done that, but someone calling me part of some terrorist or hate group would just get laughed at because everyone who knows me at all knows that there's no way that's possible.

    When you are not in good health

    Not usually a good idea to be driving if you took medicine, especially if it's of the sort that makes you sleepy. To me, medicine and driving are mutually exclusive.

    Short tempered on the road

    Well, I sure am glad to hear that, Ares. Good to know that people still grow and learn these days. Lots of folks out there still need to grow and learn some more!

    Soda pop - argh!

    Hey, Max. My car is white, so hopefully the cheap-o touch up paint they sell at the local Stuff Mart will be enough to fix it. I haven't gotten it yet, but I'll probably go later tonight. We got one of those 24 hour ones here.
