Hello, this is kind of stupid but is there any way of making my car's windows bullet proof?, do you know if any one ever done this, (I know that wells fargo trucks are) but I mean a car, I have a Black corvette 2004, and some punks tried to make me a car jack (and they shot me in the right arm) but i'm ok, thanks to God.

Please help me, that time I was alone but I have a wife and 2 kids

If you know of someone or have pictures of one please post the site... Thanks

I recently rear ended a vehicle because when I jammed the brakes the ABS kicked in and dragged my car further than I expected. Do you agree that ABS may sometimes make your stopping distace longer?

It seems to me that more and more these car manufacturers are recalling cars back because of some sort of malfunction on their part.....>>>>>>>This is my idea on how to stop this from happening over and over>>>>>>>>I think since these manufacturers get by with everything, problem wise and price wise, we should have a senator bring a vote to the floor that everytime a car is recalled, that the owner of that car should receive half the value of that car paid to them>>>>>>>These manufacturers set a price range, and we (fools that we are) pay the price......>>>>>And with the price of cars that we have to pay, nothing should go wrong with them. Ever.....>>>>>This would help to prevent the manufacturers employees from screwing up to begin with....What do you think????????

The hubby thinks the distance between Hawaii and Alaska is greater than Alaska to Florida. Can you tell us which one is right? A source would be great so we know who is going to clean out the fridge after all, lol.

i'd like to do a quick survey: how much do you pay; what type of bike; your age and location? who do you buy from?

Today I was behind a lady who couldn't get it over 40mph and it takes me 30 min to get where I was going doing 55. I couldn't pass for a long time and I was getting impatient. So I just waited and counted to whatever till I could pass.

With the development of ethanol for use in automobiles as a substitute for the fossil fuel gasoline we've been using, clearly there will be other gasoline substitutes as well.

But as we all know, electric cars don't perform as well (speedwise) as gasoline-run cars. My main concern is.. how much mileage will we get off ethanol or other gasoline replacements? Will they be as good, better, or worse?

I have a Dodge Viper 2005 and it was in the shop for 40+ days during the first 12 months of owning the vehicle. I wrote Dodge giving them VIN and service records stating I wanted my money back and they sent me an email stating 'we will continue to repair your vehicle'

Has anyone ever returned a car to Dodge under the lemon law of California and what is my best approach?

Proof that I am not lying:

if we used only batteries in city vehicles then that would leave power plants open to try and make things more efficient. they could learn how to use coal better and we would charge our cars rather than fill them up. vehicles that need more power could s till use gas but a focus doesnt need so much power. not everyone needs a v8 dodge charger. my 4 cyl corolla can do hills just fine. companies could make small cars and sedans battery powered and make vans and pickups gas powered for towing. i also have a toyota sienna. that has a v8 in it and we use it to pull campers and stuff. but if our corolla were battery then we would need only half the amount of gas we currently use. is this a possible solution to transportation fueling problems?

I believe that if the price of gas is gonna go up then we need that amount increased on our paychecks (never to be decreased) what you think?

When i had my two 12's installed in my 95 extended cab chevy, they gave me a choice between the Kicker comps or the rockford punch, in the end i chose the kickers because of the name. but i was just wondering if i made the right choice.

Which for a 16 year old thats only going to drive 4-10 miles a day, A Porsche Cayman, or a Lotus Elise?
Either a
PORSCHE CAYMAN
Manual trans, Teracotta(red) interior, black exterior, no extras just basics
or a
Lotus Elise
Manual trans, orange exterior, black interior, all basics

PS. also take into consideration - speed, handles, peformace, styling, eye catch looks or head turning effect, comfort, least theft, realibility(Will start in 5:00 am or not), insurance, gas consumption, which is best for moderate road trips, trunk space, and the one I can bring to college with me, and best to last the longest, SAFETY, & bRaNd NaMe

PS I live in California this might help to make the decision and i need to park it infront of an elementary school and then need to take an hour bus ride to HS and then 7 hours later come back to take the car home.

I have a 95 Jeep Cherokee Sport. It has wayyyy more miles on it than it should and still runs well.... but the engine temperature gauge always says it's about to over heat.
It could be anything, but I figure it's either the thermostat or the radiator.
I'm afraid to get the car looked at cause I can't afford even a diagnostic test.
Can someone tell me if there's something I can check myself to see what the problem might be?
I've already spent way too much on wear and tear repairs, so if someone could point me in the right direction, that would be great.

My product manual for my 2001 Nissan Altima says I should use "at least" 87 for the car's fuel. Does this mean that I could use a higher octane like 89 or 93? If so, would I get better performance out of the car by using a higher fuel grade? Could it damage the car if I did this? And finally, is it worth the extra money to get a higher fuel grade?

Seems like every one i check out has problems. American or Japaneese. I had a 99 Ford Explorer, loved the size and roomy interior, and had no mechanical problems...some guy driving a stolen vehicle lost control and totaled my SUV. So now i am on a search for something compareable in price and size.
