Cars & Transportation - 17 August 2006

My wife and I both have company cars which are very limited for our personal use. So we need another vehicle for our personal use and we thought a lease would be a good option for us. However, upon talking with a dealer about a lease, we were confuzed as to why there is not much difference in the lease payment vs. the purchase payment. I always thought lease payments would be about 1/2 of a purchase payment. Is the dealer looking to make a huge profit, or am I just not that familiar with leases and would other financial institutions have a better lease deals?

I am trying to wire a trailer light adapter to my ford aerostar. I need a semi-detailed of the tail-light assembly. my brief look at the wiring showed me the tail-light and brake light use the same bulb, and there are 3 wires to it, 2 ov them being plain black and the third red with a white stripe. I need to know which to wire to the tail-light and which to wire to the brake light.

Tonight I was pulled over clocked at going 48 in a 25 and was slapped with a $200 fine and what will be four points on my licensce. I probably was going that fast but I don't know for sure. I'm not required to go to court and this was my first offense. I live in NJ. Has anybody had luck with going to court and getting the fine reduced and fewer points. If I can get the officer to bring it down to only going 19 over the limit I still get the four points but the fine will be dropped by $95. Do you think it's worth the hassle?

Just today I had to change a flat tire. Not a big deal, right? Well, it turnd out to be a huge deal! I just couldn't get the tire off! It was so tight that I didn't get the tire off but had to drive - with still some air in - to the next repair shop in order to have it taken off with the air gun or whatever they call it and have id fixed! Does this happen a lot with tires? Or just some?

ps I'm not the weakest guy but I just didn't get the thing off!!!

My mechanic just changed the ignition module and got the engine to stop micfiring, but the vechile is still idling oddly. Which was happening prior to the misfiring. He believes that is what caused the ignition module to go bad, but is going to get back with me tomorrow. I would like to know if anyone has any clue as to what this is? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
