In most cars they have these pockets on both seats...in my car it's on the passenger seat only. What do you keep in it? I have my lent roller in it and that's it plus a tiny can of air freshener.
But, I noticed it this morning as I was clearing my backseat.

I get terrible road rage! I'm 8 months pregnant and I don't think it's a good idea for a mother to be driving like a madwoman with a baby in the car. What techniques do you use to keep your cool?

Hey everyone....I have a modest stereo set-up in my car and I am suddenly having problems with a fuse blowing. I have an Alpine head unit, Kenwood amp, and a single 10" Alpine sub. I have had this set up in this car for about a year and a half, and had the same set up in another car for three years before that and never had any problems. Now for the past week, the fuse in the wire running from my battery to my amp keeps blowing. When I replace it, it is good for about 30 seconds, and then it blows. Any advice on where to start troubleshooting?

There is a sign in the office at my mechanic. It say we charge $72 an hour for labor, if we use your parts we charge $125 an hour.

Is this normal? Because it certainly does not seem fair.

Ok, as i was coming home wednesday nite, i realized that my compass on my mirrow, wasnt displaying ( 2007 chevy malibu) and so i went to push the mirror button, but instead, i pushed onstar emergency, and of course they ask you what your emergency is, and we told them that we pushed the wrong button, but do they record when you push the emergency button kind of like a 911 hang up?

On my way to Cracker Barrel one beautiful weekend last month, I rolled down the wondow and BANG. It fell off the track and down into my door. Fearing the worst I waited and waited to take it to the mechanic. After all, i fished it out of the door panel and shoved it back up. The motor is still working fine it is just off the track. I don't know if the track is broken or what, and furthermore my mechanic didn't even LOOK at it before saying it WAS broken and I had to get a whole new motor assembly which comes with a track because you can't buy them seperate. He said the junk yard wanted $175 which was more than the GM dealer (2002 pontiac aztek, by the way) who wanted $143... so my question is this. Is this what I need, because I found it at this website for $50 and the refund $25 BACK when you send in your OLD one for them to rebuild!

So I just bought an 05 Toyota Corolla S on August 9th.. It had about 18,700 miles on it.. Now the engine light has popped on at 20,300 miles. And it seems like its using gas faster.

Can anyone think of what I should do? I called the dealer ship and they haven't called me back yet.

What will happen if you put less than Octane 89 in the tank? My husband says you have to put 89 in the tank all the time and 87 would damage the engine.

People that really know something on the subject, please reply only. Thanks.

I got my car, brand new, in October of 2005 when I was 18 years old - paid in cash, no loan. I am 20 years old now and I really do love my car, but I'm wondering when the best time to trade it in is? The car is an 05 Haundai Elentra (I hope I spelled that correctly). I've been very good with oil changes and such.

I know that as soon as I start driving it, the value goes down a lot!

I'm thinking that I may want to keep the car for a total of 5 years (3 more years). Will the value go down much between now and two or three years down the road? (I mean, granted I continue to up keep the car and have no accidents) ??

Any info on this would be great. Thanks!!

I have 1997 ford Escort 1.8 zetec, It has no power the engine is running hot and it's costing me a fortune in petrol, this has only started in the last couple of weeks.

The CAT is bent and the exshaust is blowing could this be the cause. Someone told me it might be the air filter but i've changed that and it's made no difference. I dont want to go out and buy a new cat if it turns out the engines worn out.

If anybody has seen the new type of these can they say with certainty what they are ie speed cameras or ANPRs? The ones I have seen have sprung up on the A2 near Falconwood and on the A20 near the Queen Mary's Hospital.
They are situated near the old GATSO sites and are on grey ppoles that then overhang the road with what look like two cameras trained on each lane.
