Give a reason to why you picked them as well, and remember what a hot hatch is! (A Smallish, Affordable and Quick Car that has a Hatchback Body.)

Any other person wish to opine? I just got a mini convertible, and found I adore driving it! I've never enjoyed a car this much before.... It's not the fastest, but it's so much fun :)

I'm 20 years old. I probably don't have much of a credit history. Do I have any chance of being approved to finance a car up to, say, $10-15k?

I can't seem to locate the listing of requirements in order to be able to choose a specialty license plate for my street rod in Maine. Any ideas? The State of Maine website nor the DMV website offer any insight?!?

i know how to do the whole thing. i just never used a jack like this. instead of having a point of contact to meet with the notch on the underside of my car this jack has a much broader, flatter end. it should go against another flat surface but i don't know where. i'm not a fan of cars so don't give me a list of car parts. please give me an idea of what part of the car is best for holding its entire weight.
the rest of the tire change is under control.

I accidentally left the ignition on my bike about 4 hours ago and just went out to move it into the garage and found it. Needless to say the battery is dead. How can I get it charged and started SOON!!

Thanks

didn't know i had a junkyard engine in my car until the engine blew recently and i have to replace it. 2 shops have independently verified that the engine is in fact a junkyard engine, due to the yellow digits scrawled on it that would identify it as such.

will i be able to track where that engine came from? or if i'm not "privvy" to that information because i'm joe-nobody, would a government group (ie: DMV etc) be able to do that?

i know i can probably take the serial number off the old engine and at least find out some history that way, through the auto manufacturer. i know that will take a lot of time though but i have to do something.

oh and FYI, i have done a carfax report on it and there is a 4-year gap of no vehicle history reported, but 65,000 miles accumulated. the services i've had done to it are on there - purchase, title transfer, emissions etc.

a bit odd?

thank you.

I have had my car for about 4 years, and I looked through my records and can't find a previous replacement of my front brakes. So it seems like it might have really been time to replace them, but I just wanted a knowledgeable person to let me know. I already read the answer given to Starlicious, but it didn't say how often replacement is usually needed.

I've taken my car to various mechanics and they all fix it. It is not great but it works.... however, three weeks to a month later we are in the same situation whith no air conditioning. Every time I take it to the mechanic they want to charge me for some part I've never really heard of. At this point I think the tubes have a leek but I'm tired of paying for nothing!.. Hope someone can help!. I'll really appresiate it. Florida is incredibly hot in the summer!

I have a 2000 chevy s-10 that was running very poorly. When I was driving the engine started reving so I pulled over and had my brother come look at it. He didb't figure out what was wrong with it, but drove it back to my house since we were close and it would only go about 15 mph before it would start reving. After getting it home and parking I got in to get it closer to the curb and the check engine light came on. I took it to an old frined of mine who owns a shop, and so far he has told me that all four cylinders are misfiring and that he is getting and o2 code. He hasn't had much time to play with it and I told him to take his time, since I won't have the money to get it for a couple of weeks anyway. Has anyone else had something similar to this happen to them, I am curious as to what the problem is and how much it will end up costing (round abouts anyway on the cost). To help narrow it down he said it was not the cat and I have good compression. Timong Belt replaced in March 05
