Cars & Transportation - 2 August 2006

Failed twice already...

First time I failed for apparantly not staying in my lane during a left turn...even though I could have sworn I did. The instructor was a real assh*le.

Second time, I did everything perfect. Nailed the parallel park, and the 3 point turn. But on the way back, on the very last turn before we got back - a left turn - apparantly I tried to make the turn when it wasn't safe. I thought I could have made it, but he yelled at me not to make the turn since there was a car coming (rather far away if you ask me). Either way, doesn't matter what I think...he failed me.

Tommorow is my 3rd test, and I'm really scared. If I don't pass, I can't provide my own transportation to work, and I might have to quit my job since my dad can't take me anymore.

It seems like it has more to do with the instructors mood than your actual driving skills. But I can't rely on getting a nice instructor...I NEED to pass this test!!!

Can somebody help me? Any tips???

We bought a 2006 Ford Fusion in April. We live on a gravel road and keep getting rocks stuck in the metal plate below the gas tank. We have had to have the dealership clean it out three times already. Anyone else having the same problem, or maybe a different one that I should watch for?

I was driving my car home from work without insurance in California....I rear-ended a car on the freeway in traffic as I was changing lanes. There were 3 cars that were involved in this accident. It started by one car slamming on his brakes and caused a car too rear-ended him. Then I rear-ended the car after he hit the other car in front of him. So there were 3 cars and I was the last car to make contact with the other cars.” typical fender bender" I got a letter in the mail saying I had to pay for everyone’s damages on their cars....I feel I should only have to pay for the damage I caused....am I right...i just got off the phone with the bill collector that wants almost 7,000 from me for putting a scratch in someone’s bumper. Also...included in the bill is the rental car insurance for 43 DAYS!!! the car I hit was a 2000 bug and they rented a 2005 jeep chereki!!! I have a list of attorneys to call tomorrow but It has always been hard for me to sit around and wait to hear answers.

I need to know if anybody knows how to read the check engine light code by jumping the plug where the computer plugs into? I have done this on Fords and GM vehicles but have never done it on a Toyota. I have a
95-1/2 Tacoma 4wd, man tran, the only modification is a K&N air filter that came on the truck when I got it. After a full tune up including map and oxygen sensors the truck still runs like crap. If you go at the throttle real easy it is okay but if step on it from a dead stop, it bogs down like its choking. I can't figure it out and have yet to find anybody who can. Any ideas on anything to check? anything?

I was riding in Arizona today splitting lanes as usual and riding right up to the front. This is the safest place for a motorcyclist to be because he can't get rear ended, and can accelerate far away from traffic as soon as the light changes to green. A motorcycle cop, no less, rode up to me and gave me a warning for white-lining. He said it was a ticketable offense, and that I could only do this in California. Why is it that CA is the only intelligent state around to allow this? I'm considering moving to CA. How can you pass a bill for your homestate to allow white-lining also known as lane splitting?

I bought a car last Saturday. When I signed the contract, the dealer told me my car is Subaru outback with 2 years 0% financing. It turns out it's different model and the financing term is changed into 5 years 7.9%, which are totally different from what I was told when I signed the contract. I have been driving this car for 3 days so far. I want to know whether it is possible that I can break the contract and return the car since they were dishonest. Please help me.

It always feels like it's 1000 degrees in my car even with the heat off. I'm thinking it could be my radiator but I'm not sure. Any help would be much appreciated.

I want to buy the parts myself because having the shop do everything is too expensive. I need to know, if, an axle assembly is all it takes to fix the front axle. Driver's and passenger side, because that's what an auto parts professional rep. told me.
