    Getting rid of interior odor

    Thanks for all the suggestions. BTW, tried Fabreze and it didnt touch it. I will try the zorbx and also search better for open containers, etc. under the seat or hidden around the car.

    Getting rid of interior odor

    Purchased a nice 2011 Honda Accord last spring. When I test drove it I noticed the overwhelming smell of perfume. I thought I could use some various means to get rid of the odor. Boy was I wrong. We are now 11+ months on and the smell is as bad as day one. I've tried baking soda, coffee beans...

    U.S.P.S. - Informed Delivery

    Been using for a few weeks and really like it. Images are clear and readable. Nice to know what's going to be in the mailbox later. Usually receive my email by 7:30 AM.

    Dealership CSI scores: perfect or nothing -- WHY?

    Same here as well. Not an auto dealer or auto-related, but we deal with the public. We did a survey and if a score was not 9/10 or 10/10, we were required to address the reasons with our supervisor and contact the customer as to what the problem was. I had one 8/10, and the customer told me...

    Too much music in movies

    Agree with your thoughts. Sometimes the "background" music is louder than the dialogue which is ridiculous.

    Rules of the road - come add your annoyances

    Agree with all of these. The one I see most often is failure to use blinkers. Cars just slow down and suddenly turn. So aggravating.

    Sirius XM

    I currently have Sirius XM in several of my vehicles primarily due to travel. In the past, I have used their "free trials." I have been pleased overall with the service and pricing, but beware - if/when you try to cancel, plan to be on the phone for an hour and talk to multiple people. You will...

    Help me choose a bike

    And the winner is.... 2014 Yamaha Vstar 950 Tourer. Picked it up yesterday and love it. Only has 6,600 miles and in great condition. Black with some dark red striping. Thanks to everyone for the input! It was absolutely helpful.

    Anyone else have their dog get Lime Disease?

    Yes, my yellow lab contracted Lyme disease a couple of years ago. And, yes, he was on flea and tick prevention at the time. One Saturday morning, he could not stand up so we immediately went to the vet. They could not determine a cause and he was fine by the afternoon. Happened again a month...

    Help me choose a bike

    My kids are finally grown and I have some time, so looking to get into riding. Many, many years ago as a teenager I spent several summers riding motorbikes but never really had the chance for that to evolve (college, job, marriage, kids, etc., etc.). Same story for many of us, I'm sure. I don't...

    Anyone here gotten late life orthodontics?

    I got braces at 37. At first, I was good with them and the final result was great. But I will tell you the last year I had them on they drove me crazy. Almost 3 years total as my teeth didnt move very quickly.

    Envelope Budget System

    I felt the same once we started a family. Seemed like there was always more month than money. We went thru Dave Ramsey and it changed our financial life. Of course the envelope system was a huge part of it and it really works to get your spending under control which is the key to building...

    Floor Jack Doesn't Roll On Asphalt

    My floor jack sinks into my 20 year old asphalt driveway when I use it but I found the perfect solution. The local farm store sells 3/4 inch heavy duty mats for horse stalls. I bought one and cut into various sizes and they work great. No damage to driveway and the jack can move while lifting...

    Used Car Value Question

    She still has the original sticker and its the 4.0 SOHC V6, so sounds like it could be a problem. Since she has the maintenance records, I will look to see if any work was done on the timing chain. Thanks for the info.

    Used Car Value Question

    Dealers seem to be asking in the $3K- $3.5K range for this type of vehicle. I don't think C/L is a trustworthy place to price a used car. People can ask whatever they want. Yes, I have looked underneath for rust and there is some surface rust, but nothing major. Its a V6. The 4WD only only...
