    Carry an extra key

    My wife did it again. She locked her keys in the ignition while she was shopping. I was out of town, and she was an hour away from home. She ended up sitting all afternoon in some strange mall waiting until I could drive an additional 200 miles to get to where she was. She now has an extra car...

    Wrecker service

    It really does pay to have a good relationship with a service center both in your own town and in towns you travel to frequently. We had some car trouble this past week and I was so glad the people at the show knew me. They managed to get my vehicle fixed in no time flat.

    Pretty sight

    My nephew just swung by to pick up his wife's purse she left here at our Christmas party last night. He was all decked out in his black leather Harley jacket and his riding chaps and riding his bright red Harley Davidson. That was a sight to behold as he headed down the driveway, purse slung...

    Selling junk cars

    We have a piece of property way out in the country. There have been some old cars on the lot for ten or fifteen years. They were there when we bought the property. Is it worth having them hauled away? Does the scrap metal value pay for the tow truck? I've not doing anything like this before. I...

    Motorcycle Christmas card

    I remembered the other night that I had taken a photo of a friend as he was posing on my nephew's new red Harley this past summer. I traced down the shot, sent off for some Christmas cards and am going to surprise his children and wife with a Christmas card with his motorcycle pose. They will be...

    Waiting on brake lights

    After four trips to one service center to have our brake lights repaired, we finally took the "fixed" car to another service center. We've been waiting for parts for over a week now. Oh, the joys of car ownership.

    Waiting for a ride

    I have several different things that need repairing and checking out on my main ride. Every day this week I've had to put off getting my car serviced because I can't pin down someone to give me a ride. I think I'm just going to call and rent me a danged car. Do you depend on others or just go it...

    Specialty or general?

    I need to have some major work done on my automobile, including air conditioning, brakes and a few miscellaneous items. Do others take their cars to individual specialty service repair centers or do a general, one-size-fits-all approach? I hate having to go to several different places.

    Enclosed trailer purchase

    My wife has decided she wants an enclosed trailer she can use for one of her hobbies. She wants to be able to put things into it and then drive them to another city about once every few months to sell. How difficult is it for someone to learn to maneuver these things? I'm worried about her...
