I have an extra key that I leave at home. Wouldn't do me a lot of good if I were out somewhere and locked my keys in the car. Isn't there a magnetic box that you can put a key in and hide it under the hood? Do those work well?

Is there any way you could lay something across your back window before you go in at night? That may help prevent the frost from forming on the glass and then you wouldn't have to burn up in the mornings trying to get it defrosted. I would have to try it anyway.

You're supposed to do that? Oh my! I guess that's something else on my list to ask the mechanic. Is this a major operation? How expensive is it? I know mine has never been done so it's probably way overdue.

I like novels on tape or CD. You can get these from the library or purchase them from the book store. Better yet, you can download them from any website that offers audio books and plug your ipod into your car radio. I'm not sure I would like an audio course while driving. I would have to...

I like that idea Hotrod25! Someone should invent that. They would make a fortune. Like Paul, I don't have a garage so I'm stuck with scraping or waiting until the defroster works. :ohwell:

This happened to me once and sure enough, the tire wasn't seal properly on the rim. Better go get that checked before anything major happens. It won't take long and shouldn't cost much.

Hotrod25, there's never been a 4 and 6 in the superbowl and it's not gonna happen this year either. Both sixes are gone. We'll see what happens today.

Seat covers are great for fabric. I have leather seats which I highly prefer over fabric and they wear pretty well. However, I do keep a towel handy in the summer time. Hot leather and bare skin just don't mix.

You gotta be kidding me! You think the number 4 and the number 6 seed are gonna make it to the super bowl? Yeah, right!

A friend of mine has a broken window in her vehicle. By broken, I mean it will not go up or down. Thank goodness it's up. She took it to the shop and they quoted her a terribly high price to fix this. What has to be done to fix a broken electric window?

Somewhere I have seen advertised something to fix this with that supposedly makes it look like new. It may have been one of those "as seen on TV" ads. Check with your local Auto Zone or Advance Auto. I'll bet they have something that will work.

That's just something that I wouldn't mess with. I'd take it to my mechanic because I'm not handy with tools. I've seen him have to take out the entire headlight on some models before. I'd rather him do the job than me.

My brother used to have a BMW bike that was really a sweet ride. I think it was just a phase he was going through and has long since sold it. With gas prices hovering between $3.00 and $4.00 per gallon, he may wish he had it back. You think?

I've always heard to turn into the spin. It goes against every instinct in your body but you will have a better chance of coming out of the spin if you can do it. Just hope nothing is around you when it happens.

That's a great idea Paul. I would rather wash towels than try and clean those floor mats every time they get dirty. Thanks for the suggestion. I'll go tomorrow and buy the towels.

What is the best way to clean floormats? I have carpeted ones and can never seem to get them clean enough. Are there any tricks of the trade that you will share?

I'm like classicjuju here. Be really careful if you buy a used car over the next year. Personally, I would not want to buy one that had been in a flood. I can see all kinds of things happening due to being in all that water.

Lots of laughs here Smash. I can see it now. A bunch of little old men in dark suits sitting around a conference table throwing names around in hopes that something will sound good. Thanks for that mental picuture. I needed a good laugh to start my day!!

I know at one time, all the cars made were named after animals. Cars like mustang, cougar and buick are all names of animals. I just wonder where the car names come from today. Are prius and element ones that are just pulled out of the air or what?

That's great to know. I'm headed into town today for some shopping. I think I'll look for that "new car smell" spray. That'll encourage me to clean my car out this afternoon and start the new year off right.
