Cars & Transportation - 6 September 2006

I am trying to push an old junk car out to the street so the tow truck can pick it up but it is turned toward a wall and there is no way the truck can get close enough to pull it in. How can I unlock (or break) the steering column (I really don't care which one that this point) so that I can turn the wheels to direct out toward the street.

For a car dealer to sell an unsafe truck... the springs are held on by garden hose clamps with a 10 inch lift... i live in nevada

I DID TAKE IT BACK TO THEM TO HAVE IT FIXED AND THEY WELDED SOME SUPPORT RODS RIGHT TO MY REAR AXLE AND WARP MY REAR END 1 BACK TIRE WOBBELS ITS UNGODLY I DID BUY IT AS IS BUT I PAID 26 THOUSAND FOR IT ITS A 2004 YUKON ITS A BEAUTIFUL TRUCK JUST NOT LIFTED RIGHT BOUGHT THE TRUCK FROM UTAH


well lets look at it this way if you were traveling on a highway right behind me and a hose clamp broke and my whole axle came right into your windshield and will see if you live ... now tell me that its perfectly fine for a dealer to sell such a dangerous vehicle...... theres got to be some kind of law that forbids this

I was wondering why they don't put something like a dead bolt on cars so that even if they use a slim jim they can't open the door without the key to the dead bolt.

The reason I am asking is because my truck got broken into by someone using one of those slim jim type things.

What I really want to do it booby trap my truck at night with something cool so that they get a big surprise once they are inside.

Any ideas?

im soo frustrated. i have a '06 lexus is and none of the lights inside of the car works. i took it to lexus and within the hour time period- they still couldnt find the problem. do you think it has to do with the wiring that Best Buy did when they installed my amps.. etc? I called Best Buy and they said that it shouldnt have anything to do with them because if so the radio/factoy deck wouldnt work. and my stereo system is fine- it's just my visor lights and all of the lights/alarm console doesnt work. at the dealership, they said that everytime they put a new fuse-it would blow, so something is short circuited right?

Please help! im clueless and dont think i need to pay for any of this!! lexus will have to charge me to diagnose the problem.

We're moving, and renting a moving truck. We definitely need the CDW (collision damage waiver) "insurance" coverage, but the vendor's charge is excessive. Are there any independent companies that will sell short-term collision/damage/loss insurance, so I don't have to buy it from the vendor?

I've been buying low-cost CDW for car rentals this way, but the company I use doesn't cover truck rentals and I can't find another company that will do it.

Our liability insurance for our car will provide coverage, but not for any damage that happens to the truck we will be driving.

My car has the cutouts for speakers in the back, but there's no wiring. How difficult would it be to run some wiring back there to install some speakers? What would be involved?

Can you give me any tips or advice?

Thanks!

hi, what car do you drive, what color is it and what do you love about it/what do you dislike about it? i have an 05 pontiac grand am se. its maroon and it rides really smooth, handles well and gets up there in speed. it also has a great stereo system. i wish it would have come with a keyless entry remote but the previous owner didnt have one. thanks
