I finally found a car that seems to fit my needs, that I like. An acquaintance has a 2000 Corolla for sale. It has 84K miles on it, stick trans, A/C, and 4 doors. The owner is a mechanic who has been driving it for 4 years, and says it is in tiptop shape. I haven't seen it yet. Does anyone know...

I need a used car. I originally wanted to find a well-maintained Honda or Toy in the 2500 to 3000 price range. I mentioned this to a friend of mine, and he offered to sell me his 2000 ML320 for 4500. I started thinking that this might be a good deal because my friend takes meticulous care of his...

I want to get some multi-vitamins to get some B1, B6, B12, niacin, E, and D into my diet. Any other commonly included vits/minerals are OK, if present. Can anyone rec a good brand and source for this?

I went into Advance Auto yesterday. I wanted to pick up one of those magnetic "Hide-A-Key" things so I could stash a spare key in my car's wheelwell, or some other similar place. But the AA clerk said they didn't sell them. Does anyone know where they can be found? Also, have any of you ever...

This is a wierd question. It seems like I have a problem keeping my left rear tire properly inflated. Not just on my current car, but also previous ones. The air just seems to leak out much faster on the left rear than any other tire position. I also seem to get more flat tires there also. Am I...

I started using a walking cane a couple years ago for added support due to a weak knee. It's just a regular aluminum shaft with rubber tip model that you see in most drug stores. Anyway, last week I bought one of these Hurrycane things https://thehurrycane.com/HurryCane since I found the...

The left upper ball joint in my 89 Civic RT 4WD Wagon seems to have gone south on me, so I need to replace it. I looked on Rock Auto and there are a bunch of parts from different manufacturers, ranging in price from around $12 to $90. I don't know why there is such a big range in prices. I've...

In my LR, I've got 2 windows that are aluminum-framed with thermpane glass. They are the type that slide up and down, tilt inside for cleaning, and lock together in the middle. The problem is that they won't stay in place once they are unlocked. The upper one will fall down about a half inch...

How do you clean your hard floors at home? (Like the bathroom and kitchen floor tile?) I have ceramic tile in the bath and vinyl tile in the kitchen. What tools and what cleaning agents do you use? I usually mop them with Lestoil, but I've heard Lestoil is bad for vinyl tile. Also, for the life...

How do I get email notification when a thread I have posted in is updated? I can't find it in my profile.

Do the 2011 Elantra engines have timing chains or belts? I don't seem to see anything about it on their website.

I've got an 89 RT4WD Civic wagon, but have it setup for FWD. I blew my left rear tire the other day, so I pulled into a small tire shop and bought a used tire since the other 3 are about half worn out. I just noticed that it is a 185/65-14, whereas my other tires are all 185/70-14. I'm wondering...

I have a question for you guys. I have a Lazy Boy rocking recliner that I bought a couple of years ago. I recently injured my knee and it is difficult to stand up now without pushing off with my hands on the armrests. However, because it is a rocker, the arms sink down when I push on them, so I...

My high pressure power steering hose started leaking last week. Honda wanted $220 for a new one, so I looked online at this site: Store link of part Results: Nichirin $132 Edelmann $72 Beck Arnley $55 I guess I am a little curious about why there is so much discrepancy between the prices...

Is there a forum for site help? I can't get the search function to work. How would I find threads with 'carmax' in the title?

A few months ago I went to the Doc because I was retaining fluids. Swollen legs, etc. He said I need to go on a low salt diet. I've never been on any kind of diet in my life, so I figured if I just quit putting salt on the food I eat, and cut out chips, and other obvious salty foods, I would...

I don't get it. I went to the Ford website and downloaded a Fiesta brochure. I wanted to get some detailed specs for the car. What I got was a joke. The brochure has no real details, mainly just general fluff stuff and photos. No vehicle weight, fuel tank size, engine description (chain/belt...

I was driving around today and I saw what I thought was a 2 door Toyota RAV4. I looked on Toyota's website and couldn't find anything like that. Does anyone have any idea what it might have been? It was just a shorter, 3 door version of the usual 4 door model. ????

What is the generally accepted way of handling an accidental incident of breakage or damage in a store? I was in a liquor store today and apparently someone accidentally knocked a bottle of wine on the floor, breaking it, while picking up another nearby bottle. The manager was telling this...
