Dad and I decided to go to the Fest today to look around at the awesome vintage cars there. Unfortunately, Mother Nature decided we should have brought umbrellas/ ponchos/something to keep the rain off us. We were at the site for maybe an hour or so, but almost half the time we were there was spent under the DeSoto tent, hiding from the rain or ( Read more... )

I hate it when the guy at AutoZone walks away from me while I'm trying to talk to him. Yes, I'm a woman. No, I don't know stacks about cars, but that doesn't give you the right to be rude to me. At least I got the info I wanted. SuDoy's 'check engine' light tripped Saturday on the way home. It's an EGR code, and the car seems to run fine, so I ( Read more... )

I went to the doc's yesterday (in the ice and snow) and got a prescription for Amoxicillin to kill the infection that's in my head. Dr K says he's seen a lot of these lately and that amox seems to be effective in killing them ( Read more... )

Mmmmm. Yummy!

I drive my father's 1995 Ford Crown Victoria. Generally we don't have major problems with this car, but recently he's begun acting up. The mechanic at the dealership thinks the problem is with a valve in the emissions control system, a valve which was quirky just long enough to trigger the 'CHECK ENGINE' light last year. It looks as if the thing ( Read more... )

Ann and I decided to go on that test drive of the KIA Sephia this Wednesday night. I'm going to see if I can get my brother's friend Keith F., who is a mechanic, to come along and have a look at the car. Ann also said this to me: "I have a feeling you're going to buy a Dodge." When I asked why she said, "The Sephia and the Focus are 'girly cars ( Read more... )
