Well, I've been a busy guy this last week. I got my computer back and I'm catching up on everything. I'm caught up on your questions, sorry if it took me a while but I do answer every question sent to me. I just finished catching up on the Motor Vehicle Recalls also. There's quite a few so you may want to check them out to see if your vehicle has been recalled.
I've posted a bunch of new Q&A's that you might be interested in so take a look when you have the time. If you want to send me a question, use the Contact Vince Ciulla link and you will find a form to send me your question. Make sure you use the right subject line to be sure I get your e-mail and it doesn't wind up in my spam folder.
I want to send a special thanks to Ray Meyers who donated $30.00 to help support this site. He sent me a question, Ford Windstar Is Back Again, and he was able to fix his vehicle and avoid a hefty Dealer Service bill. This is a perfect example of a person who was able to save a lot of money based on the advice I gave him.
From the "You think you have it rough" department, here's an interesting note I got from one of my UK readers:
Hello, I have just read your article about the price of gas where you live; so to brighten your day we here in the UK are paying $10.00 for a gallon of gas and $11.00 for diesel. How about you and me changing places?
Good luck,
M. Nash

- In The Spotlight: Gas-Saving Products: Facts or Fuelishness?
I get a lot of E-Mail everyday with questions that go from one end of a car to the other. This week I thought I would feature some of those questions that are the most common or are relevant to a large number of people. - Who Wants to Be an Auto Mechanic?
Do you have what it takes to be a professional mechanic? You can find out by taking these quizzes. - The Ten Commandments of Auto Repair
Take these to heart, they will save you from a lot of problems. - Bargain Oil Changes
Are bargain oil changes really a bargain? There's at least one person who says no.
