Q: Does anyone know a car club in San Antonio that would like to show their cars at a school carnival.?
I am looking for a classic car club that would like to volunteer their time by showing their cars at a San Antonio elementary school carnival in the spring. I think it would be something our families would enjoy seeing. Classic cars, mustangs or just interesting cars. I just don't know where to find one. Do you?
A: The Alamo Area Council of Car Clubs (a part of the Alamo Area Council Of Governments) is the "focal point" for the larger San Antonio area car clubs. Web address is http://www.aacog.com/tourism/carcruises/AlamoAreaCouncilofCarClubs.asp. They meet once a month.
I'm sure you'll get positive response from them.
Which elementary school?
Good luck!

Q: Does St. Philip's College in San Antonio really fix cars for free?
I heard that if you buy the parts, the auto technician program at St. Philip's will fix your car for free because they are looking for projects for their students.
A: Paul Rein hit the nail right on the head for this question. Some schools do have this type program. You may also want to check with Vo-Tech programs at high schools. They do the same thing. Just as Rein said though, your car problem usually has to coincide with what they are learning at the time.
Another thing to consider is if you really want students working on your car. While I thin its important for these future mechanics to have hands on experience, I think its better for them to have access to people's cars that they won't be hurried on. For example, it's better for them to work on someone's cars that has several and can part with their ride long enough for these kids to learn properly. I've heard horror stories about these programs turning out cars in worse shape then they started with because people hurried them to finish with their cars. Keep in mine these kids are learning. The teacher has to explain things to them. They have to study things. They are not a shop that's going to devote time specifically to your car.
What I'm saying is there is nothing wrong with taking your car to a school to be fixed. Just be prepared for reality. Be sure you can do without your car so these kids can learn. They will do you a service by fixing your car for free. You have to do them a service by allowing them open access to your car. It's a we'll scratch your back you scratch ours situation.
Q: Where can I get a great tint job for my car in San Antonio, Tx, for a cheap price?
Where can I get a quality tint job for my car in San Antonio, Tx, for "not a lot" of money?
Naturally, I want to get something that will last, and not turn purple since I plan on keeping my car untill It no longer works! But I need a good, low price. Where should I go? What should I look for, and what (or who) should I avoid?
A: OK, for starters, stay away from what are known as "dyed" films! Although these are cheap, they don't last because the dyes within this kind of tint, fades out over time. The UV rays of the sun cause the "colored dyes" within these films to fade into an unattractive purple color just like you mentioned, so dyed films are a big no-no if you want your tint job to last (dyed films have about a 2 or 3 yr lifespan before the bubbling and color change starts)! Secondly, make sure you get what is known as a "metalized" or "metal sputtered" film! Metal tint jobs not only keep out upwards of 60% of the sun's UV rays and heat vs. 30% for dyed films, but they last much much longer. The metal fibers that are embedded in the plastic film aren't altered by the sun's UV rays like the dyes, and so this type of film will last and last (upwards of 10 years or more)! Since most people don't keep the same car for more than about 5 years, a 10 year lifespan is more than most folks need! Whatever you do, please don't go to the tint place named after your momma! Their work is good, but the prices are outragous! A cheap, dyed tint with a 3 yr warranty on a 2 door car costs $120, and a better metal film with a lifetime warranty costs $200 (I was just quoted these prices by one of their stores, call them up and see for yourself)! They even quoted me $400 for what they call a "ceramic" tint job! Sure the idea of a ceramic film is neat, but it doesn't really keep out much more heat than metal film does, and the warranty isn't any better (how can you improve on a lifetime warranty anyway)! No sir, that's way to much to pay if you ask me, but then again they DO have to pay for all of those TV and radio ads, don't they? Try calling my friends over at MOFO's Vehicle Accessories. The owners have over 30 years of experience combined in the car and truck accessories business! They also have any and everything you could ever want for a car or truck including window tint! Their tinter has been been tinting for over 16 years AND they only charge $100 for a metal tint with a lifetime warranty
(instead of $200 like "mamma's" does)! You can call them at (210)400-0240 or email them at mofosaccessories@yahoo.com . They tinted my car and left it looking perfect! Good luck to you! I hope I helped!
Q: When and why did the skyride (cable cars) in San Antonio shut down?
A: It was about 1999. I remember because I lived in Mahnke Park across from Brackenridge and took my kids there alot. Then, I moved for a better family dynamic location for my kids although we were members of the zoo and would come often. One day they said they were shutting down the cable cars. They were old and built about 40 years ago, and not kept up, so they took them down. Hopefully they will put up something else kind of fun. A lot has changed about Brackenridge, but there is a lot in the works to make it better also.

Q: is san antonio nevagable without driving a car?
i dont have a drivers license! do i need to get one and buy a car ( very expensive forthe currently unemployed) in order to live in san antonio? or austin?
A: I will agree with most of the posters on this question regarding the San Antonio Metro Bus System. It is in almost all cases clean dependable and efficient. It is also a cost effective way to commute. There are a couple of issues, however to be considered. There are a few areas of the city with limited or no bus routes, make sure you find housing on a bus route if you plan to use it frequently. Also, if you work late shifts, there are often routes which will get you to work, but you can't get home.
I used the bus to commute for a while and found I could get to the work site most of the time, but couldn't get home if I had to stay after 8 pm because the bus stopped for the day.
I now live in an area of the city where the closest bus stop is 6 miles from my house.
Additionally, there are issues in rain and bad weather.
But, as we generally have great weather in the city, and if you go to the San Antonio Via System website and make sure you can get to and from work, you should have no significant problems.
Despite, the lack of bike routes in San Antonio and the supposedly wonderful bike routes in the beautiful city to the north (Austin) statistics show that in both cities, among working persons (not students) approximately 1-2 % of persons in each city commute to work by bike.
Q: Has anyone bought a car from the San Antonio Police Auction?
I need a second car and they say it is cheap buying cars from the auction. Is it worth buying one from there? Are they in working condition? Are there any other fees other than the price of the car?
A: It's worth buying a car from an auction. Most of them are in working condition. But you should bring a mechanic with you to give it a through inspection because they are sold in as-is condition. They add fees on top of you bid like auction fees, taxes and registration.
Q: How long would it take to travel by car to San Antonio, Texas and Dallas, Texas from NY, NY?
A: It's been a while, I used to drive straight through from Norwich, CT to Fort Worth. It was like 20 hours. San Antonio would be 25-26 hours. After one trip, we flew or took a few days. At the least, I would sleep and give it 2 days to drive from NY to Dallas. I'd give a third day for San Antonio from Dallas.
