I have a 2006 Toyota Tundra (4,000 miles) and a 2007 Camry with 5500 miles bought from the same dealership on the same day. The front end paint finishes on both have numerous chips and dings. When I compare that with my 2002 Toyota Echo with 47,000 miles on it, the paint finish is in better shape.
I am thinking the dealership either didn't prep the front end or it is a factory defect. After 3 or 4 months I wouldn't think the finish should have as many chips as it does. Any thoughts?

I have a 2002 Corvette and the A/C stays warm in the vehicle, but the compressor runs normally. I believe the problem to be in the control assy or the actuators but do not really want to rip the dash apart to diagnose if I don't have to. Please Help?

i'm a truck driver and we've been getting a bum wrap lately. yesterday while i was asleep my co driver was involved in an accident. i was only bruised and banged up some, but the truck is down and we are a long way from home. the company says they will re imburse me for transportation back. here's the problem, i don't know if i have the nerve to run team any more, but really don't feel up to doing it alone anymore. the guy who caused the whole thing just left. should i keep on trying to make a living driving or just give it up and do what? i don't know anymore and nothing seems real.

I thought the leak was from the trans pan gasket. I replaced the stock pan w/an alluminum tci trans pan & gasket. When I removed the pan, I found 3 bolt holes stripped out---I fixed this by installing thread inserts in order to keep original bolt size. I made sure the inserts were slightly recessed so pan & gasket could seal properly. After this repair; I filled trans & test drove car. afterwards; I checked & found no leaks. I then let car sit for several hours & every hour upon recheck, I still found no leaks until car had sat for about 4 hours: leak seemed to be from rear of trans pan again. Upon further inspection; found leak seems to be comming from just above the rt rear of trans pan from what looks like a plug of some sort in back of the main housing just below where the tail shaft housing bolts on. The plug (or whatever this is) is about the diameter of a dime. What is this? Has anyone seen this leak before? What can I do to seal this? Please advise.

I often take the car out of gear, put it in neutral and then push the brake...is this bad? I do it because i don't want to wear out my clutch.

Had rattling sound for a few days so took it to garage, where they said the pipe had severed off by catalytic converter, which they welded back,but they did state it would be temporary. Now have black smoke from exhaust,does this mean I need a new cat, or any other reason? Hoping to buy the part myself and garage fix it.

I was reading an insert in my newspaper advertising "Extraordinary Uses for Ordinary Things" by Readers Digest. I don't want to buy the book but was wondering if anyone knows what I can wipe on windows that will prevent ice buildup. You can also put it on windows that already have ice and the ice will melt.

Seriously, why are hybrid cars so freakin' ugly??? Even though I am a total gearhead and I feel the need for speed, I would buy a hybrid if anyone made one that at least looked halfway decent.
