Cars & Transportation - 7 September 2006

I'm looking to buy an 05' vehicle from an online site. I'm worried it might be a car from New Orleans and its had flooding. I remember the news telling consumers there may be such a scam. What can I do the check its not from that disaster area? Will carfax tell me that info, if what should I look for in the report? Thanks.

I've heard cars are sold very cheap that have been siezed from criminals.

Is there a site / where can I go to find out about buying cars from the government?

I live in York, PA if that info is necessary

I have an '05 Ford Focus with 16,000 miles on it. I drive it in the city a lot. When do you think I should consider changing the brakes?

Olds Alero 2002 Are there two fuses for the fan, one for first three speeds and one for highest two? Or maybe two motors? Only the top two speeds out of five work, and they work great.This is a weird one to me, and your comments are going to be helpful. Thanx

I am a railway buff and am a big fan of steam locomotives, especially foreign ones, since they are different than the ones in America, where I live. I would just like to know what the experience of being around , riding, or driving an operational one is like, having never done so myself. (although i'm making plans for it)

Trafi was slow on the freewey and i was going maybe 15-20 mph and signaled and checked my blindspot and pulled into the carpool lane. I then heard a lond screetch for about 3-4 seconds and was hit in the rear drivers side of my trunk and bumper. The driver then proceeded to loose control of her vehicle and hit the median and flip onto her side.

I am trying to first find out if anyone out there can tell me who might be a fault and what the process is for this accedint since this is my first accident.

Is everyone except me retarded? Do you really think that Xenon headlights are just a blue halogen bulb? A true "Xenon" or HID bulbs is totally different and produces a completely different light. They work similar to a flourescent bulb, they have no filament. If you bought some 20 dollar blue bulbs at Walmart, you are lying if you say you have "Xenon" headlights... sorry posers!!!! Secondly, they are NOT illegal if your car was built with them. Thirdly, the only ones that blind people are the ones that are aftermarket or are not self leveling. Audis and BMWs immediately self level when on a hill or over bumps so you will never be blinded by them. I thought this was common knowledge until I saw some ladies question and read the funny responses, look at my answer, find her question and read how stupid people are!!! FUN

I have 2005 RX 330 with Navigation but without the Levinson Audio and without DVD system.

Does anyone know the steps to installing a Bazooka Amplified Subwoofer?

I need to know if I need to buy an adapter from Lexus for the audio out and where to tap into the car to feed the sub Power as it will be in the trunk.

Any ideas would be appreciated!

I'm looking for a dedicated outdoors vehicle for bikes, surf, camping, occasional off roading and some general driving. I hate buying cars in the first model year, and I don't like the horrible MPG of the FJ. However, I am not sold on the Element's quirky styling and the econo-box rep of Honda (cheap materials, feel). Even worse, none come with GPS.satellite nav.

I was in a parking lot in my brother in law's hummer and i came around a corner and there was a spot immediately to my left but i had to back up to get into it. So i checked the mirrors and looked over my shoulder to see if there was anyone behind me, there wasnt, so i proceeded to back up. there was a guy in a chevey malibu directly behind me and i bumped his car and dented the hood slightly. Am I entirely at fault?
