Is there anyway you could find out if your car is being tracked with a GPS device?

I was wondering because I feel that new technologies that have recently been released, which allow someone to place a GPS tracker in a car, and track where that car has been online, are an alarmingly extreme invasion of privacy. What are the best places in your car to look for a possible tracking device? And what is your opinion on the whole idea of tracking locations of cars via GPS?
this is ridiculous…

Is there a auto body repair trade school for on-site trainning for students at cheap price for customer?

My mother’s car needs repaired due to several dents that she has incurred over the years. But she is on a fixed income and can’t afford to have it put in a Auto Repair Shop. I know beauty schools offer discounts for customers who allow their students to practice on them while they are going to school.

In a car with navigation system, are there regularly monthly fees, or just a one time fee for startup?

I know nothing about navigation, don’t really need it I suppose. However, was reading that in some autos it is cheaper than others when the car is bought brand new. Just wondering if that is all you have to pay, or monthly or yearly fees after that. Thanks.

Is there a product that will seal hard plastic that will not allow moisture to penetrate?

I’m trying to find a product to seal vintage hard plastic from any moisture penetrating through to the plastic. The plastic is having a chemical reaction to moisture and breaking down. Once I remove all the moisture and stop the chemical reaction I need something to permanently seal it so no more moisture can react with the plastic and start the reaction again. Basically I need to encase the entire thing with a moisture barrier.

This is a plastic doll (in parts) and needs to be sealed inside and out. The product color on the inside is unimportant, but the outside needs a clear semi-gloss or satin finish which won’t hide the detailed painting.

Please don’t get hung-up on “craft’ ideas (unless you know something that works!). Because this is a doll I’m having trouble finding anyone to take it seriously. I restore vintage dolls that are quite valuable (some $1,000+) and I am trying to preserve them. I suspect what I am looking for might be found in some other category like automotive or commercial uses.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! I’ve already been told to store them in a controlled humidity environment—this is not an acceptable alternative, though I’m sure it would work. I’d like to be able to tell my customers they can display their dolls on an open shelf!

Looking for some creative uncommon solutions!

Thanks for the help!
Thanks for your help and question about the kind of plastic. It’s not urethane and not sweating or visibly leaching, just gives off a butyric acid stench. I have researched the plastic and it is a chemical reaction. The chemical (in this case butyrate) is simply reacting with water causing it to release butyric acid. Once the activator, in this case water, is removed it slows or stops the process. I have the moisture removed through a process of drying and using a dessicant (silica gel) but now want to seal it so no more water can penetrate to re-start the process.

Hope that clarifies!

Does anyone else think there are ulterior motives to the bailouts?

I would love to believe that the bailouts are just there to help people in a time of financial struggle and save lots of jobs, but I sense something more sinister. To me it looks like a political play that could cost the nation its stability.

Sounds like Bush and the Republicans are trying to appease one of America’s biggest white collar institutes, the Banks. And Pelosi and the Democrats are countering by supporting one of the largest blue collar industries in the country, the automotive industry.

Now am I just reading into this too much, or do you think the two parties are more concerned with a short-term solution to please their voters than actually constructing plans that will really help America rebuild in this time of crisis?

Is there an auto repair shop near Vacaville, Ca that will accept payments for repairs?

I have a 1996 Mazda MX-6 that I need to get repaired. I don’t know exactly what is wrong with it but I know I don’t have the money all at once to pay for repairs. Is there any auto repair shops out there that accept payment plans I.E. $400 a month till it’s paid for?
