Cars & Transportation - 16 July 2006

I previously asked what the cause of oil coming out of my exhaust might be, and a couple of answers suggested that it may be soot mixed with water, not oil. I have since done some closer investigation of the black stuff, and it does appear to be soot after all. So my question now is, can I fix this problem myself, or do I need to take the car to a mechanic?

I went on a trip today and bought gas in Fresno. The place we stopped at charged $3.11 if we paid cash and $3.21 if we paid by charge. I am from a small town, I have never seen that before!! Do they do it elsewhere? What would the benefit be to the shopowner?

The deadline to renew my drivers license is coming up and the week before the renewal date I"m going to be out of town and more than likely be unable to get a new license. If I can't get a new license before the current license experies, would I have to take the driving test again? Also, I like in Illinois if that makes a difference

I am the original owner of a 1967 Pontiac GTO with a 400 ci engine and a 2bbl carburetor. This car was built long before onboard computers and anti-pollution devices. My car seems to be running very hot but unfortunately I do not have a water temperature gauge. I have lubricated the manifold heat riser to make sure it is working properly so hot exhaust gases will be sent directly out the tailpipe after the car warms up. My question is what would be wrong with replacing my factory recommended 190 thermostat with a 160 or 178 thermostat in hopes of having a cooler running engine?

I've been driving a '97 Dodge Dakota pickup truck for a couple weeks now and I'm not sure if it just runs different from the other cars I've driven or if the transmission might be going bad. Of course, I don't wanna go get it checked out cuz then I'll have to pay either way. It's not making any funny noises or anything really but it just seems like I can push the gas pedal and it just won't go very fast. Unless I literally step on the gas pedal, it takes a good 30 seconds or so to get up to about 60. Could this be the tranny going bad or am I worrying about nothing?

I just turned 25 and I'm tired of getting hosed on my premiums. I want to start shopping around but I know that the insurance companies check your credit score. What's the best way to go about getting quotes?
