I know this sounds a little gross, and a little strange but there's been a smell in my car, (much like the episode of Seinfeld) where when I tilt my sunroof up, there's this smell of like crayons, or some people think it's mildew. How would I be able to get rid of this gross monster smell in my car!? I used Febreeze and air fresheners, left my car open to air out. No clue what it is!!

Just watched Pixar's Cars today. Each car had a personality to suit it. So what car suits you?

I am looking for a new car (coupe or sedan) and fuel economy and safety are the biggest decision factors for me. Any suggestions for a great car that combines the two exceptionally well?

My buddy has a busa (gsxr1300) and well...he is a whole lot faster than my zx-10. I've been wanting a zx-14 for a while now, but i'm having second thoughts. I really want to be faster than my bud, jus for bragging rights but i heard a zx-12 could out run him, so i wouldn't need a zx-14 right? Is a zx-12 quicker?

The car suddenly started running rough, bogging down and noisy with what sounds like backfiring through the intake manifold on acceleration. Check engine light on. Took it to AutoZone and the diagnostic was 106, 1 of 3 air flow etc. Checked for leaks in airtake manifold thing, tightned clamps, listened for leaks etc. Replaced plugs, MAP sensor, air filter and serpentine belt. Put in premium gas. This made no difference. Now it's knocking on idle also. Thought maybe carbon build up as it hasn't been on highway in 6 months, just city driving. Had a few people listen to it and w/ all different opinions...rod knock (would it backfire?) rocker arm, timing...I'm going to take it to a shop but I don't want to get ripped off and if I can would like to repair it myself. Any help would be appreciated!!!!

My car got hit today from behind while I was waiting for a parking spot today. No one was hurt, it was totally his fault and the only damage was some paint scrapped off from my car. I was wondering what procedure I was supposed to take.

Also assume that the future, for the most part, turned out RIGHT and didn't completely go to crap, meaning that civilization did NOT fall into utter ruin.

As you live in this assumed future, what do you USE to get from Point A to Point B? It doesn't have to be a car or other vehicle, be as imaginative and *detailed* as you like. :) Just try to describe as completely as you can, *what* you'd use and *how* it works. No one-liners please, use your heads.....and earn your points.
