I've got a set of GoodYear Viva Touring tires
on all 4 wheels right now. There is
only 6/32 left on the tread.
What is the best type of year-round tires for this car

I received a ticket in the mail yesterday accusing me of passing a
school bus two days ago. Problem is, I can't remember this ever

I'm all for this.  Dogs are a bigger distraction than cell phones.
People with dogs running loose in their cars are saying "FU - i don't

Are there kits for repairing rusted out rocker panels? Do these come with
preformed tin plate for a given automobile and some kind of glue? Where are
these available?

I don't currently have a driver's license but I do have a learner's
permit. Sometime in the next few weeks I'm supposed to go take the
driving test so I can get my license.
What I'm wondering is where the DMV representative is going to have me
