I live in California where it is legal to both ride in the carpool lane alone and also legal to share a lane with a car. I see motorcycles riding down the the carpool lane right on the double yellow line or even between two double yellow lines passing everyone. Anyone know if this is legal too?

I'M TRYING TO FIND WHERE THE FUSE IS FOR THE CRUISE CONTROL, I KNOW IT'S LOCATED ON THE PANEL NEXT TO THE DOOR, BUT THEY'RE ALL MARKED 15.20. OR 25. A-C, I BELIEVE, BUT THERE WASN'T A MANUAL WHEN WE BOUGHT THE TRUCK. I JUST WANT TO PULL THE FUSE, BUT DON'T KNOW WHICH ONE IT IS. ANY HELP WOULD BE GREAT!!

Can they make the car make a sort-of chug when you slow down?

i called an exhaust dealer awhile ago and got a quote to straight pipe my truck. (i called 3 i mean) the first one was $195 the second was $200 and the third was $250. this included dual piping straight piping both pipes and have big tips put on them. do those quotes sound like resonable prices for having that done on my 1993 Chevy S-10 Blazer??

They are asking $2800 and the body and interior are in good condition. It runs, but I have not driven it for long distances. Is this a good buy?

I am thinking of buying a used car, either a Honda Civic, Toyota Carola, or Hundai Elantra.

I have narrowed it to those three. Please consider it WILL be used.

The "4WD" indicator does not illuminate; however, when 4DW "low" is engaged, the vehicle appears to be operating at the appropriate low gear ratio - except that the front wheels do not turn. I took it to a mechanic who said that the transfer case appeared to be fine. Hubs, perhaps? How much of a pain in the rump would it be for me to repair this myself, considering that I am a mechanical idiot? Thanks in advance.

I went to a Jiffy Lube, and they apparently cross-threaded the oil pan. The dealer is telling me replacement will be $960.00.....this seems to high to me. Does anyone know for sure? Thanks-

I commute from Berkeley (65 in the summer) to Pleasanton (90 in the summer), so I'd like to set my Auto AC to 72 and leave it there. But I'm worried that it will run the AC compressor even when it's cool outside, thus reducing my gas mileage. So to be very specific: Suppose it's currently 70 degrees in the car, 65 degrees outside, and my Automatic Air Conditioning is set to 72 degrees. Will the Prius still run the AC compressor, reducing my gas mileage for no good reason?

Ford has too many recalls on their vehicles. This is bad.
