Are insurance companies required to send payment directly to the repair shop if there's no lien on the car?

The accident was the other person's fault.

Is there not an affordable and effective way to boost horsepower 4 a V8 in a dodge truck?

I have a 2002 Dodge Ram 1500 with a 4.7 liter V8. I'd like to boost the horsepower, but cant find anything that gives me more than like 5 horses for several hundred dollers. A friend of mine has a diesel engine and his boost has 3 setting low, med, high and even the low boosts his horspower by over 50 horses and on high he has over 450 horses. And all this for like $300-400. Why isnt there one for a V8?

Changing Spark Plugs on a 2003 Hyundai Elantra?

So the old Hundy has right at 90,000 miles and I wanted to give her some new life again, but unfortunately I have never changed the spark plugs on this particular type of vehicle. Would anyone be able to point me in the direction of a good online manual or perhaps a few tips on what to look for and of course what not to do? I'm pretty good at fixing things, but unfortunately I haven't been exposed to a lot of automobile repair. Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated!

What's going to happen? My vehicle was stolen with the keys inside.?

My 2001 Subaru Impreza was stolen last night and like an idiot I left the keys in the car. In my defense, I'm currently taking medication which makes me drowsy and I passed out on the couch with the intent of going to the store later. When I woke up in the middle of the night I went to bed thinking nothing of the keys..

Fast Fwd to this morning. Car is gone and I've reported it solen. Told the Sheriff and USAA that I did leave the keys in and explained my circumstances. Sheriff said it happens... USAA said they'll have someone in touch with me within 24 hours.

Is USAA going to cover my vehicle in the event it is not recovered or totaled?

I have a 1992 Chevy astro van.?

My problem is that I'm not getting any spark. I have changed the modulator, the rotor, the distributor cap, all the wires and plugs about 2 weeks ago. The van was running great until about 3 days ago, it was hard to crank but it did turn over. The next mourning I got nothing. It has been raining alot here lately, could this be the source of my problem. Please help!

Why are you "supposed to" drive automatic cars with one foot?

I got this idea from another question. I drive using only one foot, and most people I know do. But my father has always driven (automatic) cars with both feet, one for the break, one for the gas.

People say you are "supposed to" drive with only one foot though. And that is the way you learn and have to drive to pass your test. Why is this?
