      Well, at first I thought I would have to sit this week out. My husband does everything when it comes to our vehicles, so I don't know how to do anything but put the key in the ignition and drive. But, this topic got me to thinking about the one thing my husband DOESN'T do - detailing. So, my hub this week is - Auto Detail Prices - How Much Does It Cost to Get a Car Detailed?

      Last week I had a tire blow out on a major highway in the middle of road construction. Roadside assistance plan had expired and no family members available to come to my rescue.  Forunately, a nice highway worker came over to change the tire - I think I was blocking their work area!.  A policeman joined the party to keep everyone safe and even stopped traffic for me to get back on the road.  Quite a scene at 8 in the morning and me in my slippers.  There must be a good hub in there somewhere, but I rather not relive it!

   k, you are so funny.  As one Beaglemom to another, this truck is it!  Where I come from, a truck is a truck.  As far as vehicles go, I want a workhorse to haul stuff.  Not some pampered, wax job 4x4 that has never seen rough terrain.  In the years that I've had it, my truck has paid for itself.  It can't haul a horse trailer, though.  Not enough power.  When I worked around horses, the cowgirls would laugh at me and said that my pickup had enough power and bed for two goats.

   I'm the last person to write on this topic. I'm terrible with car responsibility. My last oil change was in 2010. :S
   
   When I went in 2010, they gathered everyone in the shop because it had been two years (since 2008) that I'd had an oil change... they all wanted to see what my filter thing looked like. I guess it came out clean and they were all like "OMG" and shouting and stuff. So I didn't get a new filter. Lol.
   
   I DO know how to change oil, though. Maybe I'll do it for a hub. I could change a tire too for another hub.

    Hmmmm.... well, I was raised as a grease monkey to my dad, who was always fiddling and tinkering with the car. He wouldn't even allow me to get my learner's permit unless I at least knew how to change the oil and a tire.
    
    But I learned so much more.  I can disable a car from being started if I happen to park in a questionable area.. and I can "speak mechanic" and not get ripped off it the repair is beyond my skills, muscle-power or tools I own.
    
    That said, I'm not sure anything in this topic qualifies as "truly original,"  per HP preferences...I think much of it can be found already all over the internet. ... ...

    Although I know how to change oil, change a tire and change filters, I have no desire to "wrench."  Other than wandering around an auto junkyard with hubby for parts, I have no interest in tinkering with cars.  I married a man who has saved me wads of cash because he can fix computers and automobiles.  You don't want me near automobiles or computers.  Computers, I can put together, but I also stand a good chance of "frying" the motherboard.  It is what it is.

    This wasn't one of your suggested titles Simone, however it seems to fit pretty well with the theme. I have compiled a roadside emergency kit hub to go along with all the cleaning this topic has brought about. I figured while I'm cleaning out the car I might as well assemble an emergency kit for those of us who may find ourselves stranded or in an accident.

    Hi Simone,
    
    Landed here by accident and as I know a little about this subject and since the ladies invited men, I thought I might have a go at answering but first let me say I'm delighted to see the ladies take an interest in their vehicles. This may be normal in the USA and if so my deepest apologies but in Ireland the ladies generally view this subject like most men view washing, ironing and cooking.
    
    I'll be doing an article on general car ownership, car care and car maintenance.
    
    P.S. Love the colour of the Porsche in the picture though I'm not a fan of sports cars unless they are on a race track and not the public road. Shame they didn't paint the calipers the same colour as the car instead of yellow,

       I read both of these and found them to be quite valuable. I learned a lot about detailing and washing cars, especially little tricks to get the car to look especially nice.

       Dude mjkearn, you're on fire with this subject! How fantastic.
       
       Absolutely loved the Hub on detailing. The soap and bubbles one is great, too! Now I know better about tar spots. Your car Hubs rock!

    Hi Kaili,
    thanks for your comments and my deepest apologies as I've just realised that I forgot to link your hub and I had it listed with the others. I'm not sure if I can do it here but I can't see any reason why not. Kaili's hub on winterizing your vehicle, great maintenance advice and excellent tip on the battery terminals, a must read for all:

    thanks again Kaili and I hope you find something useful in the other hubs,
    MJ.

    for this week anyway and pity I didn't see this topic at the start of the week, as I think I might have had a little to say on the subject, ha.

    So much socializing going on here that I don't know how you guys manage to write at the same time! This week was the first I looked at the topic, though I used to do HubMobs before that program stopped. I was pleasantly surprised to find that this week's topic is stuff I write about. I already have photos for a few that weren't written yet, along with several other to-do titles.
    
    Last week I did one on repairing leather and vinyl seat rips that would have been great here. Anyway, this has been a busy week, so I only managed one hub, but I think you'll like it. I try to write what hasn't been written 1000 times already.

    Hey everyone! The new WTI thread is up, and this week's theme is insurance. It has high revenue potential, and even if you're not an expert, chances are you've learned quite a few lessons in your days that you can share.  I hope you'll join us!

       Hi Simone-I am still working on the car maintenance hub and took lots of photos.  I know I missed the 'deadline' but I have to finish it and post it or my friend will be disappointed since I interviewed him.   To be continued...

          Does the WTI program work like the old HubMob did, where questions were never closed? Yes, the topic may have shifted and the audience moved on, but the hub still "answers the question."
          
          In that case, we should be able to go back and answer any WTI question ever asked, no matter how old. If so, is there any advantage to searching for a question that a hub written for no particular purpose would answer?

             Hi HOward, thanks for the response here.  I appreciate it.  Actually, it does work like the old Hubmob and I will finish this hub and post it, although the DISADVANTAGE, is that the participants here have 'moved on' to the next WTI,
