November 30, 2005Comments DeuxSometimes, someone other than Buck leaves a comment for me. Reader Tolovemoon writes: Hi, I think you have all the right ideas for buying a used car. I really like your point about the car stereo being replaced and how it will give you a better idea to if the car will have electric problems... I had a Ford Taurus station wagon that had many grimlins..inside lights, radio, or the dinger would all dim and sometimes not come on. A few cars I have owned even had weather temperamental problems with the electircal things. So the electrical in cars today are a big top priority for me when I am looking to buy a car or to give my opinion to wether I feel comfortable driving. Anyways enjoyed your normal entries. I was searching for tools or things to upgrade my husbands garage in the technology aspect like testers and such when I found this link. Reader Sarah McBride adds: When your car in not functioning properly it means only one thing that it is not in good condition. You have to check your car regularly. You must also be sensitive to know your car needs, 90 percent of vehicles show that motorists or auto users need some more consumer education on proper use and maintenance of vehicles. Aiding my fellow consumers is the goal here. If anyone has a specific question please be sure to ask and I will answer as best I can. Or I will make something up that sounds like I know what I am talking about. Jay Stevens contributed this in response to my comments on how a driver's personality changes behind the wheel of a car: In fact, most drivers on the road don't fully realize the responsibility they take on every time they get behind the wheel of a car. We've all been on the freeway, stopped by an accident. Well, those accidents are common and caused by a variety of irresponsible behaviors. Who can argue with that? What would one of my ease to write, respond to comments, articles be without something from Buck? He also has something to say about personality change while driving. I think that AJ(my 16-year-old son who is about to start driving) may be upset at this comment but... I have seen a radical change in my driving as I migrated from a wimpy 1.8 with a turbo to a smile-inducing 3.5 280HP engine. Now if your hobby car has this type of affect on your, what will it do to the mind and emotions of a 16-year-old boy in LA? I know what I was like behind the wheel of a '69 Firebird convertible. Fortunately, I have another 8 years before I have to worry about this in earnest. Careful with that powerful Infiniti Sedan, someone in the soccer car pool may call child protective services on you for doing burn outs in the school pick up line.
