The Mister likes his motorbikes and cars and we often watch programmes on tv about these things. Buying and selling, repairing, searching for spare parts ….maybe it’s a male thing ! Anyway, if this is what a tv programmes...

Traceyjayne @Traceyjayne (11252) • United Kingdom 23 Mar

So, three cars have rocked up across the road. Three youngish men have arrived…..they have bags of tools, and are obviously going to do work inside the house. Two of them have been standing outside for a while pacing up and down,...

To All the Cars I've Ever Owned Before

Jim Bauer @porwest (112717) • United States 18 Oct

A lot of us have been around the bend more than a few times—hey, many of us old farts, it is what it is—and so, through our lives we've all probably had our share of cars in the driveway, and it got me to thinking, it might be fun...

Are green cars cursed?

ElicBxn @ElicBxn (64169) • United States 5 Oct

I don't remember where I heard it first. But someone told me that they were and to notice how many green cars were not on the street. Mind you, we are talking the late 1960s or early 1970s. However, when I was growing up...

Do You Like My New Rolls Royce

Jim Bauer @porwest (112717) • United States 23 Aug

When we visited Graceland, of course we also visited the cars, boats and other rides on exhibit that Elvis owned at one time. This one was a beautiful, white Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud, although I forget what year it was. But I...

EXCEPTIONAL!!!

Jim Bauer @porwest (112717) • United States 28 Jul

I am going to gush a bit here, so please do pardon me in advance. But as I have written about customer service here so many times before, there's one thing that is probably abundantly clear about me. [b]Bad customer service is a...

Cars - geared or automatic?

Judy Evans @JudyEv (381741) • Rockingham, Australia 27 Jul

We had an interesting visit from an old friend. He runs a landscaping business and was bemoaning the fact that it’s very hard to get reliable workers at the moment. But the intriguing part was that many of the young men he...

Would You Ever Pay That?

Jim Bauer @porwest (112717) • United States 10 Jul

Classic cars are a lot of fun to look at, and there's a place close to us next to Menard's that operates like both a dealership of classic cars as well as a museum. Every once in a while, it's fun to walk through and see what's...

Failure to Signal

Jim Bauer @porwest (112717) • United States 7 Jul

Picture this. It was 1990 and I was 17 and still driving my first car. A 1980 powder blue Ford Fiesta I bought for $425. At the time, during the summer months, I worked for our local school district, cleaning classrooms, waxing...

This must be Superman's car

Pitstop @pitstop (15551) • Australia 30 May 25

I don't know why superman would need a car if he can fly so well, but it looks like he has a regular Subaru Car to get to work. Only the little superman logo gives it away that it's probably modified for superman. I didn't get to...

A Toaster?

Jim Bauer @porwest (112717) • United States 29 May 25

My apologies in advance if you own a Cube. But I think they are ugly cars. You can add in the Element, Flex and even the Smart Car, although the latter is more ridiculous than anything. At the same time, I can appreciate a driver...

Bob is MIA

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (169406) • United States 12 Apr 25

Bob is likely at a neighbor's asking a car question or two. Last I knew he was checking to see why the hood keeps popping up on my van all on its own. It does not turn loose and fly up, just pops and is ready to open. I do not...

We have to go to a birthday party about 45 minutes away and I was running a bit low on gas, so when I was out and about yesterday, I decided to get some gas. But what the hell happened between Wednesday and Thursday? Gas was...

A Tesla pop up display at a shopping mall - desparate times?

Pitstop @pitstop (15551) • Australia 16 Mar 25

Tesla is not having a great time this year in Australia. After initial stellar sales and being one of the most popular car here, overall EV sales took a little beating. BYD was already carving a great market space for itself too....

The automatic car wash turned out very average

Pitstop @pitstop (15551) • Australia 15 Mar 25

I occasionally drive my car through an automatic car wash and did the same last week because the car was looking dirty and I didn't have time to do a clean. This time, I was unimpressed as a lot of the dust on the windscreen and...

I Inadvertently Saved a Ton of Money

Jim Bauer @porwest (112717) • United States 27 Feb 25

I forgot to mention that on Tuesday I took my truck for a much-needed oil change, and a few days earlier, I noticed the engine light came on and it was running a bit rough. Nothing major, but noticeable enough to decide I'd be...
