    Emergency Brakes Broke When I Stopped

    Had a scary experience last summer. I was in a parking lot at a mall and when I put the brakes on, there was this horrible scraping noise. I thought I'd run over something but that wasn't it. I moved ahead a bit and applied the brakes and again the same problem. There happened to be an auto...

    Went To The Auto Show

    Friday night we made a trip across the border to Detroit to visit the Auto Show. The concept cars were unbelievable. They had a production Nissan which was limited to only 550 being produced at a cost of about 375 thousand. The guy was asking if anyone wanted to be emailed more information...

    Heated Seats - I Wish

    My husband has heated seats in his truck and it is really nice to get into a cold vehicle and have a warmed up seat in no time. Unfortunately my car doesn't have heated seats. So I get the garage at night. I guess it's a fair trade-off because I at least don't have to scrape my windshield in the...

    Block Heater

    It gets so cold where I live. Since I don't have a garage any longer, I have had a block heater installed to help keep the motor warmer. It's amazing how quickly the car warms up when it has been plugged in.

    Headlights Are So Clean

    Over time, the headlights on my 10 year old car have gotten a thin layer of "stuff" on them. I have been noticing that they didn't seem as bright as they should be. But when my husband drove my car, he noticed how bad they'd become. So he went out and bought a product to clean them up. I drove...

    Close Call Last Week

    We've hardly had any snow yet. But we live on a rural concession and because the road is north of our wooded property, it can get pretty slick in a hurry. My son was driving my car and hit a patch of ice which caused him to veer off toward the ditch. Thank goodness, he was able to regain control...

    I Need Windshield Wipers That Work

    I am getting so frustrated. I've bought new wipers every year and in no time, they stop working properly. They either streak or miss spots. I can't tell you the exact brand but I know I'm not buying the cheapest ones available. One set I even bought at an auto supply shop thinking I'd get good...

    Why Is Toyota Still So Popular

    I'm really surprised that Toyota still has the market share that it does, considering all the recalls and problems they've had over the past year. I have never owned one and I highly doubt that I'd ever buy one, but obviously they have some very loyal owners.
