Q: My husband is 89 and has always loved our cars, they have never been to a car wash and our 1998 Passat looks brand new, even though he is unable to drive anymore, he has taught me how to wash and put air in the tires. A: Go down to your nearest Parts Store, (NAPA, Kragen, etc) they will have a driveway cleaner you can purchase. Q: I have a 2003 Toyota Camry and want to have my windows tinted. What is legal and will it interfere with the rear window defogger and will it create a problem for night driving. A: Window tinting is legal on all windows except the driver and passenger door glass. Most tint shops will still do the driver and passenger glass but you take full responsibility for any tickets you may incur. Drawbacks: Depending on the shade of tint you choose will depend on night vision, the other drawback is if you leave your rear window defroster on to long it will burn through the tint. I had bought a car with illegal tint on the driver and passenger window and I hated to drive it at night, I removed the tint and it made a big difference. Q: I went to buy a used car and when I got to the financing I found out the car didn't have a warranty in fact they were selling it "As Is". Now they did say they would sell me an extended warranty for $2,000 dollars. Source: www.kusi.com
