Cloudy headlights - what to do with them... by
Paul
Question: The headlight lenses on my nearly 10 YO Taurus are a bit on the
cloudy side. I have seen some cleaners on the internet that claim to
restore the lenses to perfectly clear or nearly clear condition. These
items sound like snake oil to me, but I would just like to know if that
is true (my...

Line of sight remotes by
MidnightDad
Why do some people think to lock their car doors they must look at
their car, extend their arm, and thrust the remote while they push the
button? Do they think they must "throw" the signal at the car? Do
they think remotes use line of sight technology? Is this a throwback
to 10 or 15 years ago...

Duckling LLBs cut off by
Alexander Rogge
LLBs don't like when they try to drive beside some vehicles in the right
lane and match speeds. It seems that some drivers will accelerate and
cut in front of them with inches to spare, especially if there's another
driver behind them who tried to get the LLB to speed up and move over.
The LLBs...

Economic Caste System in America? by
Dave Head
It looks like the party's soon over in the USA.
First it was textiles leaving the country - shoes made in Italy and Korea,
shirts in China, etc. etc.
Then the heavy industry mostly all left and we got the rust belt, and imported
cars.
Next, the software / IT industry is outsourcing still, with...

The plot thickens (KC school bus collision) by
Ted B.
I just checked the latest reports out of Kansas City about the school bus
collision. The 45/46 (both ages have been reported) year old driver (Irma
Denise Thomas) claims that she couldn't stop the bus.
Something fishy about that story. I mean, if we take it as 100% truthful
that the bus wouldn't...

I'm a Califonian (unfortunately), and I've been going over the "Texas

Anyway, so I noticed Texas calls their DMV's something like "drivers
