Auto problems? describe them to me along with the vehicle and engine, I will explain your options and maybe things that you can do yourself. If you are unsure of a repair or what you have been told about something I may be able to help you here also. Just please do not mention here any specific shops or mechanics. And please if you are new here please don't forget to come back to here to ask your questions and then stick around and have fun with the rest of us ( no matter where you are).

Heh. Don't let Becky hear that. I need another month or five out of her at least. ;)

I may have found a minivan, though, if I can rustle the money up. Could even paint AFP on the side of it, I think.

your car would probably not be all that hard to fix and would certainly improve the gas mileage and emissions if you did.

My car has been running rough lately.. but I think being 6000miles behind on a oil change might have a part in that.

You know that the 3000 mile oil change is very outdated? With todays oil and much higher quality filters you can extend them out longer according to your driving conditions. I have seen the cars with the oil change light that track your driving habits easily go 6000 miles before the oil change light comes on. Maybe you should trade in the Metro for a Charger?

My civic typically goes 6000 miles before the light comes on.  Drives people crazy, but dealership doesn't want to change it early, so I say, save my money and wait for the light.

My dealership even allows 5,000 - if you use synthectic you can go much farther ~ but, it voids the warranty.
