My hubby and I have a debate going about the Volkswagon Beetle. Personally, I'm all about the original Beetle, but he likes the new one. Which model do you like better?

I bought my car back in January of 2010, so I've had it for 3 years this month. Since I've had it, I've never flushed the coolant, and I bought it used, so I don't even know when the last owner flushed the coolant. How often is this supposed to be done?

I like those little scented trees that you can buy to hang over your rear view mirror, but they don't last long AT ALL. Are there any other scented products out there that genuinely last?

It's Christmas Eve and I'm still not done buying or wrapping gifts! I can't believe Christmas crept up so quickly this year, but I still need to buy one last gift for my mom, one for my mother-in-law, and I probably have about 10 gifts left to wrap. It's going to be a long and busy night...

When it comes to engine oil, you have several choices. There's non-synthetic, synthetic blend, and then there's fully synthetic, with price increasing in that order. Which do you buy? Do you believe the hype about fully synthetic motor oil?

How often do you check the tire pressure in your tires? Be honest! I don't check the tire pressure nearly as often as I should, but I checked it yesterday and found that all 4 tires only had about half as much air in them as they should. I'm going to have to start staying on top of this from now...

My grandmother has an older model Suburban which has started leaking transmission fluid. Does anyone know why this could be, or where the leak is most likely coming from? Is thing going to be an expensive fix?

Do you change any of the fluids in your car yourself? I know some people just take their car in for maintenance and let a mechanic do everything, while others try to do everything they can at home to save money.

Okay, I hate to post about a heater problem when there are already two other heater problems on the forum, but it is wintertime so I guess heater problems are pretty common right now. I think I've got one for you that you might not have ever heard of before. When I go out in the mornings to...

I don't know if it's because my dash is black, but it seems to attract dust as if it were magnetized. Is there anything I can do to minimize the appearance of dust on the dash?

Do you use air fresheners in your car? Normally, we don't, but we've had to here lately because it stinks the car up so bad every time we take the trash off. (Thank you summer for your 100+ degree temps!) So far, we've just been using those cheap, tree shaped air fresheners, hanging a new one on...

We have been saving up for a second vehicle for some time now and we're finally ready to start shopping around for one. Right now, we have a 4 door car, so we're thinking either a 2-door car or a pickup truck for our second vehicle. Which one would you choose and why?

While they are definitely in the minority, there are female mechanics out there. In a field dominated by men, do you think a woman can repair a car just as well as a man? Women - Would you trust your mechanic more freely if they were female? Men - Would you have more trouble trusting your...

Does anyone know where I could buy a handheld vacuum cleaner for my car? I'm thinking one that would run off the cigarette lighter. Is there even a such thing??

We just bought a new set of tires for our car that's slightly smaller than the factory originals. The originals, for example, were 205-65-16, whereas we replaced them with 205-55-16. While the size difference is slight, the price difference was great - to the tune of almost $100 dollars cheaper...

I had no idea how expensive tires are until we started looking for a new set. The least expensive price I've come across for the tires I need is $85/tire. How much do your tires cost you?

I've always heard that it's illegal to tint the glass in your vehicle past a certain point. Is this true? If so, how do you know how dark you can legally tint your windows?

I finally washed my car this week, but when it came time to clean the windshield, I couldn't get it clean AND streak-free. I used Windex brand glass cleaner and paper towels, but now I'm wondering if my windshield isn't made of glass, because it still streaked... REALLY bad. What do you use...

We recently took a short vacation, traveling one state over and staying in a hotel room for a couple nights. When we checked out, there were some brochures on the counter, advertising a rewards program that you could join to accrue points towards a free night's stay. Basically, you earn 10...

We are getting an early start to the weekend and taking a short, family vacation from Thursday through Sunday. First, however, we have to buy a new set of tires. I don't even know where to begin! I've seen price ranges from $50/tire to more than $200/tire for the size that fits my car. HELP...
