I have a Pontiac Grand Am, year 2000. Can't seem to get the air conditioner to work. I have tried everything. We have changed the condenser, low valves line, done the leak test and still it will only hold the freon for only 3 days and we are at square one again. I love this car, but it is July and I am in Texas! Help anyone out there have any suggestions other than just sell, what are my options? Anything the mechanics might be over looking?

My husband drove his 87 suburu into the shop to have the timing adjusted. The mechanic told him he needed new belts. The mechanic called 3 days later and said the engine had bent valves and was no longer in running condition. My husband drove the car for over a year with no problems except for the idling. Now we have to buy a new engine. Isn't the mechanic responsible for this disaster?

but do they have to be on brights? It seems like every motorcycle I see during the day has on their brights. I hate that and if it blinds people then it doesn't seem safe to me!

I have an older, run-down car that I'm want to experiment on. I want basically saw the top off and have a convertible with no top - that is, I don't intend to put any money towards a top or motor for the car. I've thought it through a few times, enough to think of putting small bilge holes in the doors or sidings for adverse weather, and redoing the entire interior against weather and theft. What I'm looking for are some guides or examples of what maybe some other people have done in the past with convertible-conversions for their own cars. I just don't know where to start.

Last year I've gotten 2 speeding tickets here in the state of california. I received them both within 2 weeks. I cleared one of them with traffic school, but I couldn't clear the other ticket because you can only do traffic school once a year per ticket. My question is, will this one ticket that is on my record make my insurance go up? I have 21st century insurance by the way if that helps with answering this question. And also how many points would that be on my record? Please answer asap. Thank you

My left brake light is out and I don't want to pay someone labor for something that I could probably do myself because I'm willing to learn. It's messy work but it saves money. :)

It has received a Tune Up earlier this year, due to a mis-fire in the third cylinder. I had that fixed.

All the fluids have been flushed and replenished.

I have a 2001 Toyota 4Runner with nearly 80,000 miles on it. I have a good friend, and he and his dad are car experts. Should I let them do the tune up, go to my Toyota dealership, or to some shop around town?

Seems to me that all cars from mid 90's and up are purposely built to breakdown frequently and be gas guzzlers,anyone agree?

The truck has around 180,000 miles on it.
Is this a reliable truck?
What are the most common problems for this truck?
What would I expect in maintainence for this truck?
How much more could it last without major repars?
(Any comments about experiences with this truck would be greatly appreciated)
