I have to say, I have never seen a motor boat race! Now you made me curious!

Between motor racing and car racing, I prefer car racing. I don't know why, motor racing is equally interesting, if you think about it, but there's just something about speed cars!!

I do find this sport to be a very dangerous one. Horrible accidents can happen, people can get injured or even worse.. But I believe that, as long as there is money to be made, nobody will ever ban motor racing! I know how it sounds, but I do think this is the case! 

I was wondering if any of you think it's worth buying an ATV. 

When I feel like going off road, I usually just rent one! But sometimes it can get expensive so, just out of curiosity, is it worth investing money in an ATV? 

This might sound like a silly question, but everyone I ask seems to have a different opinion on it! 

Up until now, I washed my car about 4-5 times a year. Well, some people think a car should be washed once a month, others say more than once a year is already too much! (obviously, these people are wrong, once a year! hah!)

So, if any of you know a thing of two about a car's body... how often should it be washed? And also, how does the active foam affect a car if you apply it too often? 

Okay, I am almost positive I will buy the new Toyota Yaris, probably over the next few weeks.

I'd like to buy it used, so I need some help.. What do I look for, in general? 

I decided, since it's used, I don't want it to have too many miles. But I don't really know what else should I pay attention to... Can someone give me a few tips? Thanks! 

Personally, I check the pressure in my tires less often during spring & autumn, and more often during summer & winter. 

I noticed that, even if I do use my car on a daily basis, when it's either hot or really cold outside, I sometimes find my tires to be a bit deflated. My mechanics tell me it's from the temperature change (hot during the day, cold at night..). 

I do love classic cars, but I don't have a favorite. I love to stare at them though  

Some of my friends say people buy & restore vintage cars to get women interested in them, but I don't think it's true. I think men really have a passion for such old, classic cars! 

Oh, well, for me it's just the saving of money. I am able to drive my car, and I'm a very good driver (and quite a modest one as you can see LOL), but I'm not that passionate about doing everything myself, I prefer to take my car to the shop and let the experts do their thing. 

I read Ace's post and was skeptic, such a speed in the 1950's seems impossible! So I checked it out (no offence, Ace!) and apparently they DID invent this really fast car! This is ..just.. wow! I too wonder about the roads now haha

I'm pretty hooked on the idea of getting a new Toyota for myself, so I'm gonna ask the question in this forum  

Is it safe to let a friend of mine install an alarm system on my car? Or are these supposed to be installed by an expert? He does have an alarm system, says he's gonna just give it to me as a gift, and it comes with instructions and all.. but I don't know.. what do you car experts think? 

While I was still deciding which car I'm gonna get for myself, some of the people I trust with their opinions on cars have said that they wouldn't recommend the Peugeot. Why is that? Are they not reliable? My first car was a Peugeot 206, and I loved it! It was a very good car! 

I am looking to buy a new car. 

I'm not very picky but, somehow, I have my eyes set on the Yaris! I simply love it! 

So, I was wondering, is this a good car to drive? I'll be using it to get to work &back, maybe do some traveling too but short distance, so it's OK that it's a small car (first thing people told me: it's tiny as a bug. But I love that most about it)
