Cars & Transportation - 25 August 2006

I am a college student and will have a car on campus next year, so I want to start looking now. My parents are going to pay some, but it looks like 20k is my max price (excluding tax/tags/insurance). I will have to pay some out of my pocket.

I am driving a 95 Nissan Maxima, but am about to donate it because it is such bad shape.

Bascially if I could have any reasonable car right now, I would want an Infiniti G35 coupe. From what I have read/seen, the car sure is quick and it looks great doing so. The only thing is, my local listings rarely get below 21k and if so, the G35 has 65000+ miles on it.

I would like to stay with AT, and have the option of the +/- shifting. What car do you recommend with my info above?

Second, how is the Mazda RX-8? Thanks!

the insurance company has a problem with the injuries I sustained in the accident. It is their opinion that they are soft tissue injuries which is, I guess injuries usually sustained in cars from the rear. first of all I was hit from the rear, and in my opinion it had to at a very high speed for the car to be totalled, because the cars are made of steel so I had to be hit with a lot of force. I am correct in assuming this? I was wondering if someone can give me some insight on this matter, as I do not have an attorney, I am battling with the insurance company on my own. So, what i'm looking for is some statistics or something to back my argument, that the driver of the other vehicle hit me with such force that injuries sustained are sure likely, in a collison such as this.

I know there are different features but a ballpark number. I have found $2,000 to $6,000. Was told don't buy from this country had problems with this certain dealer. Just want to pay a fair price for a safe quality vehicale that I could enjoy for years and not have it in the shop all the time.

Full coverage auto insurance and liability auto insurance? My step daughter wrecked my car last night. We carry full coverage on our car. The accident was her fault. I don't know what kind of coverage the other people have. What should I expect next?

I have read the "manual" and followed the directory structure arrangement, the disc is finalised etc im using phillips 700mb cds.
Next stage is to try other brands of discs but..... thats pants.
I find it rediculous that a drive in a car cant read a disc that my cheapo asda DVD play will play and do cartwheels for... unreal..
any "relevent" help to be shed on the subject would be really usefull.

Many thanks

Adam

I have a 2 channel amp with 375 watts rms per channel. My sub woofers are 300 watts rms each. My head unit has a control for the subwoofers and the bass. My amp has a frequency control, low pass filter, gain control, and bass boost switch.

What would be the best way to tune this setup, it is giving me a headache.

Why would they outlaw cellphone usage in auto driving while it is perfectly ok to put on lipstick, while smoking a cig, while fixing mascara, while reading the paper,while drinking coffee, while eating your egg mcmuffin, while suposedly keeping your attention focused on the tast of conveying your auto down the highway at 65 - 75 miles and hour?

I have always been a biker at heart, rode once, wrecked, never had the chance to get back on. I have decided, its time to learn the right way and take a course and get my liscense. My question is, What do you think would be the best beginner bike? I want something cool (of course) and something comfortable, good for long rides/short rides, and tough.

At about 60 MPH my 2001 Mercury Cougar starts to vibrate in a pulsing rhythm, the faster I go the harder the car vibrates. The car has about 90K miles.
