pjjurg says "Invaluable safety tool on the go." about OnStar

pjjurg — Mon, 21 Dec 2009 14:21:05 GMT

I love my OnStar. I was first introduced to this service in 2003 when I bought my current vehicle. OnStar is one of my main reasons why I will be looking at Chevrolet as my next vehicle. I have used this for years, but only the basic service. I have used the vehicle diagnostics, car unlocking service, and the hands-free phone system.

At one time in this period I was hospitalized for over a week when my son was very young. He was old enough to know I was not home with him every night. He would come for a visit, but would be very upset while my daughters took him home. He was inconsolable. So, while my girls drove him home they called me in the hospital and I talked to my son all the way home and by the time he got there he was solaced and ready to go to sleep. To me, that was invaluable.

As the cost goes, I agree it is hard sometimes to keep it up, but we do and my husband says he feels so much better knowing I have this available to me whenever he is away.

Leda1 says "Dangerous in rain and snow" about Goodyear Integrity tires

Leda1 — Mon, 14 Dec 2009 23:53:32 GMT

We recently bought a car with 20,000 miles with Goodyear Integrity tires that were factory installed. The were good on the dry road and not too bad in rain but then we got alot of snow in one night and after the plows went by, the roads were snow packed and slippery.

I have driven in the winter for 24 years and am always careful but with these tires it is impossible. You cannot accelerate without feeling like you are hydroplaning and the car is litterally all over the road. You feel as though you have no control what so ever and I could not go over 40 miles per hour and that was on the highway. On the side roads I had trouble getting over 25 miles per hour without feeling like I was loosing control.

There is no way I will drive with passengers in the car with these tires, I do not trust them.

I have an appointment in two days to have them all replaced which is sad because they look perfectly fine. There should be a recall on these death traps and please do no buy them without looking...

birder says "If you live where it rains, you need Rain-X." about Rain-x

birder — Mon, 14 Dec 2009 00:22:01 GMT

I was courier for several years and I used Rain -X religiously every season of the year. It is great for sheeting the rain off of your winsheild, but when passing a truck on a rainy day I didn't even need my wipers on. The guys at the service stations when washing my windows also liked it because in the summer when the bugs are bad it helped clean the windows.The bugs came off so much easier. Even now when I'm no longer a courier I still use Rain-X when it's raining and I've even converted my boyfriend into using it. It's cost effective too. Not only does it keep from wearing out your windshield wipers, but it doesn't cost much either...

gramadia says "RainX Glass Treatment is the best ever for windows and mirrors!" about RainX Glass Treatment

gramadia — Fri, 11 Dec 2009 22:21:27 GMT

RainX is the best, I use it on my mirrors in the bathroom and it seems to enhance your reflection. When water splashes on the mirror just a quick wipe and the mirror always shinnies with out water spots, I even use it to wipe down the inside of my shower and believe it or not the shower doors stay free of soap scum for longer.

I remember driving from Atlanta to North Carolina to visit my family, of course I had cleaned my car up for my trip, and I used RainX on my windows, which always makes the view nice and clear. When I was returning from my trip that Sunday evening, about 3 or 4 hours into the ride home it started to rain, I turned on the windshield wipers and they did not work, you could hear the motor hum but the wipers seemed stuck. Now it's Sunday night and it started to rain hard, I had to pull over and wait for it to slow down and stop so I could continue making my home. The rain slowed to a drizzle finally and I was able to continue with good visibility because the RainX treatment...

housss says "A good truck" about dodge

housss — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 06:02:25 GMT

Dear people the dodge trucks are amazing and do last a long time even at 50,000. I have to smog every two years and that is good for a truck. I pray that anything sown in dishonor will be raised in honor and that we let the light so shine before men so that thou will see thou good deeds. I pray that these dodge trucks which are dangerous unto the God will continue to carry me where I need to go and to be of some good help unto me and my people who buy them for their uses. I personally like the pickup truck because it helps me to have a way to carry something easier that is big and heavy and it will fit into the truck. I pray that we have, me and my dog a good time and I hope I continue to live economical. Well, the dodge taught upon driving a pick up truck that I have good luck in carrying my packages in the back of the truck. Nothing flew off. Well, I hope I continue to get good gas milleage. Amen.

princessahnna says "Incredibly elimnates scratches and dings!" about Toyota Paint Pen

princessahnna — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 19:43:34 GMT

My husband I just purchased this pen for an incredibly great price at the Toyota dealership...we are talking about under $10 here! For that wonderful price, we received a quality product that went beyond our expectations. We used it on a couple of scratches that we acquired while in parking lots and on a few rock nicks that we got while driving. The results were impeccable! When you stood back and looked at the car you could not even see where the original marks were...the paint matched perfectly! The pen was easy to use and dried very quickly. It did not smudge and it has not flaked off, no matter what the weather, which means its very durable! I would totally recommend this product to anyone that is frustrated by the little scratches that mar your otherwise beautiful cars. I assure you that you will be satisfied with its performance and you will enjoy the great value you get for your little expense! Enjoy restoring your car to its best!

wcmom13 says "I love this car" about Mazda 5

wcmom13 — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 14:41:52 GMT

We have three children. I am legally-blind and do not drive. So, we needed one car that held all of us and was also good on gas mileage for my husband to use for work. We have definitely found it in our Mazda 5. I absolutely love this car. It is like a small mini-van but is the size of a car. The only bad things is trunk space. But, because there are only 5 of us, we can fold down one of the rear seats and expand our trunk for suitcases. We got a DVD installed and my husband and I can listen to the radio while our kids watch the DVD, which is wionderful. There is also storage under the friont seats where we can keep headphones, etc. It may become a little tight as our kids get older and grow, but for now, this is the perfect car for us. It has all the options we wanted and we were able to negotiate a great price. So, it fall well within our budget. This is our fist Mazda and will definitely not be our last.

bkovacs says "PB Blaster saved me a lot of work!" about PB Blaster

bkovacs — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 16:27:54 GMT

I needed to do some exhaust work on my 1993 car. If you've ever seen nuts and bolts on a 16-year-old exhaust system, you know that they are so caked with rust that they barely resemble nuts and bolts. I looked at the nuts and bolts on my car's exhaust system and thought that I would have to cut them off, and cutting was going to be a LOT of work.

Then my wife convinced me to look at penetrating lubricants and I found PB Blaster "penetrating catalyst." I bought a can, sprayed it on the rusty bolts and -- unbelievably -- I was able to unthread them. The bottom line for me is that a $6 can of PB Blaster saved me an hour or more of physical work, cutting bolts in a very cramped space. In fact, two of the four bolts I needed to remove were in good enough condition that I was able to re-use them. In all four cases, I believe that the nuts/bolts would simply have rounded off if I had tried to remove them without PB Blaster.

How does it work?

The manufacturer of PB Blaster claims that the lubricant...

catclan says "wonderfully protective on all car needs." about Armor All Original Protectant

catclan — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 21:09:46 GMT

I absolutely love Armor All Original protectant. I have used it since I got my first car on all the dashboard, door panels, and even the outside of the tires. It makes them look so clean and shiny and smell oh so good. It protects it from the harmful sun damage usually happens over time. I love the spray bottle because all you have to do is spray on a clean cloth and wipe on and eveything looks new again. I even tried it my used car that I bought recently and it made it look fresh, not new, but fresh again. It works best right after you clean the car all up and that way you really feel that you have a new car. The price isn't too bad and it's really well worth it. It makes me feel good to have a clean car. You can find Armor All everywhere in most stores. I find mine at Safeway and Target and Walmart. It lasts for a long time. I have been using this product forever and plan to use it for the rest of my life. I love it.

smylyn1 says "I had never heard of a Rainier before but I would recommend one!" about 2004 Buick Rainier

smylyn1 — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 05:52:51 GMT

Hello everyone! My name is Laura and I am writing a review about my Buick Rainier.

I love being high off the ground and the Rainier is an SUV. If you aren't familiar with the Buick family just picture a Lincoln Navigator or the Envoy. The body type is exactly the same, just a different manufacturer.

I need something to be comfortable driving but also need it to be functional to haul all my animals around in as well. The 2004 Buick Rainier has a five seat or seven seat model and offers a two or four wheel drive as well. I opted for the two wheel because I definately am not going off roading anytime soon!

I bought the five seat model so that I can just fold down the back seat and it holds all of my dogs and cats. I have four dogs that are from 50 to 100 pounds so that gives you an idea of the spaciousness.

The Rainier is a very nice looking SUV. Mine has tan leather interior with a black exterior and tinted windows and also came equipped with OnStar. There are several great features too!...

Meri says "these wipes are made for traveling..." about Honeywell Blink Mess Lifters

Meri — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 20:48:30 GMT

I keep a container of Honeywell Blink Mess Lifters in my car all of the time. I bought them on a whim as I rarely have a need for car wipes but thought it would be good "insurance". I am so glad that I did. I have used these once when the dog got sick, a couple of times when my husband spilled soda in the car and numerous times after visits with the grandkids...

They are convenient to use and make short work of an occasional spill or mess.

The auto interior wipes are unique in the fact that they come in a handy container that has a clip on the back to hang the wipes out of the way. [I have a Honda that has deep side door pockets that are perfect for the wipes to hang on.] They dispense easily and have a resealable label on front. I have had this packet for over a year and they are still fresh and moist as the day I bought them.

The wipes come 20 to a package and not only clean up any spills but keep stains from setting in as well. I love this product and consider them a car necessity....

Meri says "keeps my car fresh..." about Bahama Bag Company Car Scents

Meri — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 20:04:04 GMT

After a few years of my dog riding in the car all the time, it was beginning to smell like dog. I preferred a different smell so I purchased a few items over a period of about a year. I went through the hanging trees, the vent fans and scented cutesy figures but nothing lasted very long. Then, I tried the Bahama Bag Company Car Scents.

This product is a gel fragrance that comes in a tin can. I like that because it keeps the scent inside the can until you are ready for it. Once opened, you will notice a plastic cover that has the company logo [a palm tree] cut out on it. This allows the scent to disperse without debris falling into the gel. Since the gel fragrance lasts for a very long time, this is a good thing!

I like the tin can packaging because if the scent becomes overpowering you can simply put the lid on it and wait until you need more fragrance. The gel will eventually evaporate but until then, happy air.

It is easy to use this product. Place it anywhere there is a flat...

angie23 says "Quik Trip is the best!" about QuikTrip

angie23 — Fri, 28 Aug 2009 17:58:52 GMT

I love every Quik Trip I've ever been to. They not only have the best prices, but they have the best selection of everything!! You can get sandwiches, donuts, all kinds of great food. Not just chips, crackers or candy bars like most stores. And I'm not much of a coffee drinker myself, but I know everyone loves Quik Trips's coffee!! and if you sign up for Quik Trips's credit card you can save a few cents per gallon. It doesn't seem like much but it sure does add up. another thing I love about Quik Trip is they are always clean, unlike lots of stores you stop at to use the restrooms!! They are always well stocked, they have almost anything you could want. The staff is always nice and friendly. I hope they contiue to build more Quik Trip stores. I would like to have one close to home. i always stop at the Quik Trip stores when we are traveling, but I'd love to have one that I could stop at on my way to work or home from work. The store I always use is nice, but...

rustaddsflavor says "BFG All Terrain tires are all most people will ever really need." about BF Goodrich All Terrain TA/KO tires

rustaddsflavor — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 21:10:55 GMT

I own both a '99 Jeep Wrangler and an '04 Ford Heritage F150 4X4. The Wrangler has run on the same set of 31X10.5 BFG All Terrains since it was only 600 miles old. I've gone offroading all over Big Bend (a desert in Texas), New Mexico, Colorado, Arizona and Utah on the same set of tires and have never suffered a flat or had a bad experience with them. That's a lot of harsh terrain and a lot of cactus and brush we're talking.

In contrast I put a set of BFG Mud Terrains on my truck and they were noisier, ran out-of-round within 10,000 miles and really weren't that much more capable offroad than the All Terrains. (I don't go "mudding" as a habit, but then how many people really do?) After 60,000 miles on the Mud Terrains I relented and put a set of All Terrains on the truck, about a 33X11.0 size. The difference was night and day. It went back to delivering a smooth, quiet ride again and just felt better in all driving situations except maybe that rare offroad trail where the mud gets deep....

lilasimmons says "Getting paid to drive your car is awesome" about ifreeauto.com

lilasimmons — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 09:57:46 GMT

Getting paid by simply driving your car is an awesome business offer. Even if you are simply going about your daily routine in your car with the advertisement on it getting paid for it is great. This is true, I got paid for having the ad on my new car and as long as I have it on I get my pay, they basically are paying for my cars amortization and still get some extra for gas. It's like winning a brand new car with some cash coupons with it for gas. The best auto car promo ever imagined, very ingenious.

charlienuy — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 08:11:39 GMT

It's an amazing experience to have this promo on your car carrying an advert and drive along your usual route and get paid for serving as an ads board or space. For the very limited surface of the car this advertisers are willing to pay your that much for getthing their ads caught up in the traffic for hours. It's very effective since you have a captured audience or market on the road at any given time. I would go for it, have the ad on my new car and then I get paid to cover for the cars amortization, so its basically a free car in the long run. With earnings I made I would rather have the ad all the time on my cars.

Awesome. That is the only thing I can say about this promo that I signed up with at http://www.ifreeauto.com/ last month. I thought it was just a scheme to lure you into their product simply as a sell out but I was wrong. This simply want their ads be place on your new car and drive it around certain areas, mostly the heavy traffic areas which is my 'line of fire' so to speak on a daily basis. So I got the offer, have my new car and the payment for ding so pays up whatever the cost of monthly amortization for the car plus some gas fill. Its the best offer ever and I just can't resist.

This is the best car promo ever imagined. I got the new car I wanted, drive it with the ads on (what the heck, just ads) that would never hurt me and instead will add on to my finances, solves the financial crisis I am in. Took the car t work and instead of spending for gasoline it comes with the free package with other several options. Simply awesome, I just wonder if they will be earning from this promo in the first place giving away so much of the products that they are supposed to be selling. But its good for the citizens who direly needs assistace. Log on to http://www.ifreeauto.com to get the details on how to sign up for the program.
