I’m trying to go back scrapping but every time I get on the mood I will see other things that I have to give more priority. Yaaay! Does it happen to you too? So, now, instead of organizing photos good for scrapping, I end up requesting an auto insurance quotes for my friend. Their internet connection was dead for 2 weeks now and she really need new quotes because the other one is expiring very soon. Once I’m done, I will try to get back on my goal to finish my daughter’s baby book.

I’ve been browsing online for a cheap rv for sale that I can get for our quick getaway. I just need a big vehicle where I can pack the kids and their things and invite some friend to join without cramping. The cost is like buying a house too and I am not sure if hubby will approve additional expenses at home. Because not only buying the vehicle, the insurance and registration will add up and the storage too since we do not have enough space to store it in our garage. Or another option is if someone will let me borrow their RV for a week, that would be sweet too :D

Just in time for our insurance renewal. Our home and auto insurance are bundled together. And I will only consider auto insurance quotes if it can include home insurance together. We get the maximum discount if these two are packaged. It reminds me to call our insurance agent tomorrow to inquire any special discount they have as a loyal customer for so many years. If none, then it’s really time to shop for new rate and coverage.

I was chatting to my cousin who works as a car mechanic and he told me to look at Mopar parts to check the price of the parts I need for my car. He normally doesn’t charge, and if ever he will, he normally charge below the other technician or mechanic’s per hour rate. He really makes good money on his field and I wish I was a guy too so I will not have hesitation to dip my hands on engine oil. Lol I will be off for now.. I need to check this website that he gave.

My family definitely needs to shop for new car insurance. On this year, we already have two accidents. One was our fault and the other one is the other party’s fault. Good thing that I can do this at the comfort of my home now, auto insurance quote is a just click away. This is the online quote that I found last week and the insurance company that I can pick.

I only know one person who owns Ferrari, and that is my previous boss. He is a CPA and there’s no question why he can afford to have one. He was complaining before how he cannot found a supplier within our area for his Ferrari parts. Good thing that he was able to find one online. So now, every time he needs parts or accessories for his car, he just go online. And he likes it that way cause he is saving time for going to actual store.

I’m not hoping to have a Ferrari just a loaded van is enough for me. lol I have kids to think you know.. ;)

I took this photo while in traffic entering tollgate to San Francisco. Hubby scolded me because he said that some people might think that they are the one I’m taking photo. lol So I stopped. So here are the sample photos of signs you can find in San Francisco and also the traffic. By the way this was taken on 31st of December.

Few months ago, hubby and I are thinking about buying hybrid cars because of gas price that is very high. We did not think about the possibility that it will fall more than half of the price during that time. We are surprised but very happy ;) I’m reading quite information about hybrid car and fuel efficient automobile lately. Our plan of buying hybrid car is still on.. we’re just postponing when is the right time.

Prius accessoires and Hybrid car and truck accessories are just one my husband concerns. He said that hybrid parts are really costly and hard to find. But I think this is not the case anymore, since JuicedHybrid.com offers performance products and Ev mode or electric only products for prius in reasonable price. So that concern is already taken care of.

I just wish that this coming year, my wish of having a new car will come true.

Hubby is having a second thought whether to buy coilovers for the CRV before he trade it in. We need to look the price difference on the trade in value if we will change it. We need a van to accommodate our big family and we want as much as possible to limit out of pocket expenses. We still haven’t decided what car to get though.. and that involves another brainstorming with my husband. In the meantime he needs to decide whether to upgrade the CRV or not.

Taking out the mystery of Car repair, do you know how? I personally hate going to different car shops to get Car repair estimates and I know that I will not get enough savings if I will not ask different shop before authorizing any repairs.

Auto repair shops charge differently even it has the same problem. I think it mostly varies with the per hour labor of the job. Brakes need regular check up, this is one of the most important things that they check on car maintenance. Did you know that you could get an online auto repair estimate? Go and check RepairPal.com… All you need to do is select your car model, the year make, select the repairs you need, and type your zip code. And voila, estimated cost for the repairs will show. ;) Dealers or repair shop can no longer trap you with high cost of repairs. You will be aware on how much you can negotiate about the fees.

I really love this website.. just added on my bookmark. This surely is a great tool!
