Cars & Transportation - 13 July 2006

I'm tempted by:
Porsche Cayman S/ Boxter S
Porsche 911 (nearly new)
TVR Sagiris
Marcos TSO
BMW M3 CSL (Maybe wait for the new M3)
BMW Z4M Coupe or Convertible
Used BMW Z8.

Tried the Boxter and Z4M, any others I should consider?

its not getting gas. I am completely ignorant about cars, but could it be a fuel pump or someone else suggested a computer chip (for what I don't know). Anyway the car has been running perfectly and just did this once last night, sat for ten minutes then it started. It just did it again and he is stuck about 1 mile from home. All I know is its not the battery, it just goes on for a second and dies...........

I have a chance tobuy a 2004 Epica. It is covered by the GM 5 year warranty. but I would feel better if I had more info. Consumer Reports does not include the Epica . I presume they are so few that no reliable info was collected. Any direction or personal experience would help. Thanks

Don't your cars come with an ashtray????? I hate you jerks that throw cigarette butts outta the window. But you would never do that when there's a cop around... because you know it's littering, punishable by $1000 fine.

Next time I see one of you jerks do this, I will catch your act on video tape and call the cops on you.

You know, those little lights that say "security" next to them? They irritate the hell out of me. What useful thing do they do? Why can't a security system work without an annoying blinking light?

The analog speedometer in my 89 Nissan Maxima suddenly dropped to zero. Later, when I started from a stop and reached about 40, it jumped from zero to 55 or 60. Sometimes it jumps from there all the way to the right and rests there. Sometimes it jumps back from there to 85 or 90 mph, regardless of my real speed, then, at times, it flips back to 55 or 60, then, when I slow down, it registers my approx real speed, then when I slow to about 35, it drops to zero. On occasion, when I start from a stop, it will gradually rise with my speed and show my real speed for a while, then go crazy again. Is there a sensor in the speedometer that is malfunctioning?

Hello people... I have a JVC car audio system (KD-SV3104) and I want to decide which speakers to buy.. I posted a question yesterday also and after i received some answers, i went to town and looked into some speakers.. Some say that 4-way or 5-way speakers have less bass than 3-way speakers regardless of the number of watts mentioned on the box. I have a choice of going for a 3-way 280 watt JVC speakers or 380 watt 4-way Pioneer or Kenwood or 480 watt 5-way Pioneer..They all are oval shaped. I think the 3-way JVC fits my budget well though.. Is 280 a good power? My player is 50 into 4.. I want some bass and the sound quality not to blast my windows.. I'm still on the fence.. Which speakers to buy ( Pioneer, Kenwood or JVC) and which power (watt) range to go for.. I'd like to have JVC speakers with my JVC player but i don't know about the sound quality and durability of JVC and Kenwood speakers.. What should i do? Ryan, what do you think is better? Everybody else is invited to answer.

I lost mine and I still have the paper copy that I was given that signified that I passed the permit test before my actual permit came in the mail. I would assume the DMV would be the place to go, but not sure about the other details.
