Cars & Transportation - 18 July 2006

Many on-ramps have the driver come to a complete stop, and then have to wait for a break in traffic to "floor" it (punch the accelator all the way to the floor.) There are no modern on-ramps/off-ramps, and the transition to I-5 is one lane, which always backs up, because it seems like its there like an after-thought. How hard woudld it be to redo the transition, so that there would be 2 lanes to the 5? What a novel concept!! The CA 110 (Pasadena Fwy) is stuck in time, regardless of how fast cars go or how many people drive it a day.

I've got a car worth about $5,000 that I would like to give as a gift to my girlfriend. How do I go about doing this without her incurring any type of sales tax? We live in California and I don't think I can just sell her the car for $1.

In MN~ I got rear ended by a young girl and it was totally her fault. I now need my bumper fixed (estimate $820). Insurance company they have said they might not pay for the bumper to get fixed because the girl now claims it wasnt her fault and it was a brake malfunction. Her car is being looked at right now to see what happened.
The girls father is also a mechanic (so I am worried he could easily fudge with the car and make it look like a malfunctin). Is there anything I can do if the insurance company says they wont pay? Does the girl and her dad have to pay anything?? Because if not then i am stuck with a huge bent-in bumper which i will have to pay for even though its not my fault. Help I need advice!

The check gas cap message began flashing on a Honday Odyssey - 05. I put more gas in, made sure the cap was tight and it still didn't go off. I have filled the car a number of times and have driven 100's of miles and it is still blinking with the same message.

Anyone know about this issue?

You've seen the stickers, "Loud Pipes Save Lives", usually accompanying an annoyingly loud bike. This, to me, is on par with saying something like "Turning up the radio in my car prevents accidents" My point is, is there any concrete evidence that loud pipes REALLY DO save lives? Has anyone's life been saved as a direct result of someone else's reaction to said pipes? Or do they just annoy you too?

For daily driving, and also racing, which would you rather have. Remember, the EVO is faster, but it lacks the " refinement " of the Subie.

There's the sat nav and the music players etc. With all these distractions, could accidents increase???. Just a thought.

I have a 1995 mazda 626 and the temperature gauge is freaking me out. As long as I am going at least 10 miles or more or have it in park and am reving the engine, the temperature stays where it needs to. When I have it in park or drive and am stopped the gauge quickly goes to the red as if it will overheat. What is the problem??
