Automotive Blogs (377)

After reading and commenting on Robert787's blog yesterday he disappeared. Since I don't have a computer I couldn't follow his depression blog!!

Then last night for some odd reason I dreamed him in a weird setting. I have not worked for the Los Angeles Dodgers in years. But there I was in my dream doing what I had done so many times, and that is, walking around seeing how things were going. I suddenly came upon him sitting sadly by the side of the stadium entrance.

I was shocked to see him looking so sad and down so I invited him in for a freeby to watch the game.

Needless to say, I was concerned about his blog yesterday and I was hoping he wasn't telling us something.

Has anyone heard from him? I am blocked so I can't PM him!!

In your country, is there any regulation from the government that you think its such silly and stupid? If yes, what is that? Could you share on here?

In my place, gornverment has just applied new regulation that from 6th Jan, 2016, ALL cars from 4-9 seaters have to carry a firestopper to save the car in case of fire!

It makes BIG arguments here! Most ideas said this is the most stupid thing ever because Vietnam has tropical weather, it quite normal that temperature in the car which parks under the Sun at midnoon time can go up to over 60 C degree, for this, the fire stopper may be explored like boom and it becomes dangerous. And in case of fire, people believe that what we should do is to run fast far from the car as much as possible instead of try to save the car. Moreover the small fire stopper can't help.

What do you think about this? I would love to know ideas of people from different country on this subject so I appreciated if you share with me what you think about this.

Thank you and have a nice day!

For around 120Kms per day drive in city roads, do you think this car will be good for about 5-7 years?





If not, which one would you recommend for similar price?

Thanks,

UK specific. Only affects right hand drive models. In Ireland it's the Opel Zafira.
The Vauxhall Zafira B (2005-2014) has a fault which can potentially turn the car into a fireball. Despite being featured on Watchdog and ITN news, there are people who are still unaware of the problem. If you, or someone you know has one of these models, you need to book it into a Vauxhall garage for inspection. If you can just help spread the word around, that would be a big help. Thanks.

A BOSS knows everything A LEADER admits mistakes. A Boss tells people what to do A Leader shows how to do things. A Boss criticises A leader gives advice. A Boss talks fast and gives oders A Leader gives directions. A Boss demands respect A Leader earns and deserves respect. A Boss rules with threats not law A Leader shows human kindness. A Boss depends on hearsay A Leader investigates. ARE YOU A LEADER OR A BOSS????

A Woman's Loyalty is tested when a Man has Nothing. A Man's Loyalty is tested when a Man has Everything. All was good between you until the above mentioned took place. If you have the upper hand, are you still treating Him/Her the same way? Same to the lower hand, are you being treated the same?

Everything happens for a reason, but sometimes i wish i knew what that reason was. I think you have to be in the happening 1rst to find that reason.. Why cant it be the reason before the happening? So that sometimes we may not find ourselves in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Entschuldingung, wie komme ich zum Oktoberfest?

Prost!

Happens everyday to everyone...

Last week I had to get my car serviced, so I asked the service man how much for a compartment air filter? He says $28 for the filter and $79 to install it. I asked why so much to install? He said it's very tricky hmmm!!

Little did I tell him I bought one last week for $12 and installed it myself in roughly 2 minutes. It was so easy to install if I left the in the car and put some treats by the filter she would have deinstalled it less than a minute..

When I was young my dad needed to get the car repaired, so my mom said I'll take it in. He started to laugh, he said if you take it in they will sell you a brand new car. Always sat on my mind

Then years later I was watching this sting operation on an auto repair shop. They set them up, they sent a woman in there saying here car just died on her. The sting operation took out the 1 dollar fuse that resided next to the alternator. When the service man diagnosied the problem he tells her she needs a new alternator for $375......

Auto mechanics must be the best business in the world now. With so many single moms out there when a woman walks into a repair shop here is the service man

there are people in every walk of life trying to take advantage of you, don't let them.....I googled how to install that filter it was a one minute video...salespeople will sell you stocks, bonds annuities cars houses boats and planes...do your homework.....they want to sell the item that brings them the most commission......that's their job

Enjoy your weekend
