I am currently leasing a 2004 honda civic. not sure if the dealership will charge me money to fix this, but it happened just tonight, my gas tank door did not open when i pushed the latch downwards which normally opens the gas tank door. the gas tank door has no key entry so when i had a near empty tank today i was in big trouble. i opened up my trunk to access the gas tank door cable which was obviously having problems since i had to detach it to open the gas tank door. i have put gas in my car now, but its obvious the cable cord which leads from the latch to the gas tank door is not working. who pays for this, me or the dealership? i see no way that i or anyone else could have access to the cable to damage it. what do you think?

The car's been running bad and then it starting smoking out of the radiator. I was on the highway, and it was only 39 miles back to my house, so I went for it. It eventually stopped smoking, but the engine got noisy and died. A guy stopped and I asked for water. He had a couple of big jugs of pop, so we put that in the radiator. I got the car started and made it home. I filled up the radiator the rest of the way with water. No the engine don't sound so good. What can I put in it to fix it?

I want to get one of those metal collapsable carts that a lot of elderly people use for groceries and stuff (like this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/Metal-Folding-White-Shopping-Laundry-Grocery-Cart-NEW_W0QQitemZ160018650262QQihZ006QQcategoryZ71483QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem) but I have no idea where to get one.

I live in a dorm at my college, and there's a Giant about 2 blocks away, but 2 blocks is really far when I'm carrying soda or other heavy/bulky stuff (I'm not the world's strongest woman or anything), so silly as it might look, it will be soooo helpful and will save me a lot of trouble trying to lug everything back by myself because I hate bugging people for help or rides all the time.

I've already checked eBay and stuff, but they all charge outrageous shipping costs. Are there any stores I can go to and get it for like, $15-$20 (or less) and avoid shipping altogether? I've already checked stores and websites for places like K-Mart and Wal-Mart too and can't find it. Can anyone help?

I have riding lessons soon and then may be looking to buy. I want a bike I can occasionally take on 2-6 hour trips but mostly around the city. Have kids too so want them as safe as possible on the back. Sportster, hard tail, soft-tail, fatboy are some terms Harley uses. All types have cheap touring and expensive. How much bike do I need? Is it much harder to ride the bigger bikes?

I need to replace a busted oil pan gasket, do I have to take the engine out of the car to do this, and if I do, do I have to buy a pricey engine crane?
