I've got good credit. Established credit. I really want a Toyota Yaris. So it's not an overally expensive car. What's the quickest way to buy it?

our 95 f-350 I think blew a head gasket today, because it popped and then put out white smoke from only one exhaust pipe and it smells like antifreeze. it was able to be driven home. I am hoping that it is not something morethan a head gasket. any input will help.

I drive an '02 VW Jetta GLS 1.8T with about 54K miles. I had the battery and alternator tested at a local car stereo installer, they were fine. And they said there was like a .40 milliamp pull on the battery when the ignition is off, which they said was normal. Any ideas on what to check or replace?

In Canada to become an automotive service technician, one has to complete a four-year apprenticeship of 9,000 hours, college classes and a passing grade of 70% or higher on the final exam. Is it similar?

i have a1998 pontiac grand prix 151,000 miles,with 3.1 v6 engine, it has a small coolant leak, it's coolant for sure.it seems to be a slow "seeping" coming from or around the water pump only while driving stop & go with ac on in town.temp gauge is ok. no lights coming on, no steam, the engine is not running "hot"
once vehicle warms up. hoses tight, clamps tight.after 20 30 minutes once parked, about a half of a beer can or about, 6-10 oz. of coolant will slowly leak onto the driveway. last summer, did the same thing, & i put 4 of those GM brand, radiator tablets into the radiator. it stopped until now. i had radiator flushed , cleaned at 30,000 miles at pontiac dealer. does it matter if i run the extended life coolant in it. or can i just run a 50/50 mix?
is their "add in" radiator "stop leak" that you would recommend that i could just pour in to the radiator myself?
if so, is this the "kiss of death" for my radiator if i ever want to have the radiator serviced.ido not much$

Both of the ports look the same. They are the same size. I don't know which one is high and which one is low.
