Cars & Transportation - 19 September 2006

It was on for about 2 weeks, and today I was going to get it looked at but for some reason it's not on. Should I be worried? The check engine light still works cause its on before I start my car, so I know its not because the bulb blew out.

It seemed like two weeks ago I filled up my car at about $2.85/gallon now the cheapest that I found around West Lafayette, Indiana was $2.20. What happened to cause the sudden decrease in price? Did we find more oil? Are companies feeling pressure from the government for price gauging? What happened?

I am a 16 year old from Michigan, and was recently pulled over for going 107mph in a 50mph zone; the officer called it reckless driving. My car was impounded and I was taken back to the police station and put into a holding cell until my parents arrived to pick me up with $100 bail; I have a court appearance coming up (not sure when).

Could anyone help me out by informing me what may happen as far as license suspension, probation, fines, and possibly suggest how I may be able to avoid some of these disciplinary actions?

Thanks in advance =)

I have a 1990 acura integra gs. I bought a 5" Tachometer because my factory one didn't work. I was told to wire the tach signal wire to the blue wire on the connector on the driverside firewall next to the strut. But there is 3 blue wires one is like a carolina blue and the other is a regular blue. Which one is the right one?

I drive a 1991 Pontiac Grand Prix SE(2 door) and It's been acting really weird lately. About 2 and a half weeks ago, I was driving and in the middle of my turn onto a road, my car completely turned off. The steering wheel locked, the brakes died, and I had no control. Then last night, I had the same thing happen again, but this time Thank the Lord, the breaks still worked, and the headlights worked and I was able to coast to the side of the road. Any idea of what could be the problem? I completely cleaned my battery terminals, and a mechanic friend of mine checked the battery with a machine he has and said it was holding a great charge. I was told to try replacing the alternator, and just had that replace today. If the car continues to do this thing where it turns off in the middle of driving and the wheel locks off, what else could it be? Maybe it's something electrical and I need a diagonistics checK?Thanks so much.

When shopping at a DollarTree, I came out of a store with my mom and discovered that two shopping carts hit her car. It was closing time and an employee was bringing in the carts. The employee witnessed the fact that this occured and said she was sorry. One week later after we found out that it would be over $1000 to fix the dents we went to the store to report it (we didn't think it would be that expensive to fix). There are no signs in the parking lot disclaiming responsibility for cart damage. The store has not done anything and the corporate office will not respond to several e-mails. We'd rather not go through our insurance company. I'm not sure where to go from here.

My Jeep Wrangler's vinyl top needs some rejuvenation. I don't think it's too far gone as far as fading or sun damage goes. Is there some way to wash it or some formula available to bring back the black? I of course have considered Armor All but won't that make it greasy?

battery died in the car, after i changed it, had to play with it before it would start. it's like the chip in the key, or anti theft is keeping it from working. turn the key and nothing happens , lights work fine in dash.

Thank you for your responses. I should have mentioned that my passenger side airbag deployed. Are the sensors for that airbag also behind the headlights? Does anyone have an explaination for the deployment of one side but not the other? Thanks!

We're not really looking for style or looks.
We want to get him a safe car that he can drive, although
there are many disputes among whether passenger cars
of SUV's are safer to drive.

For the purpose of this question, just assume budget isn't
a factor. All I would really like to know is what would be safer
for a teenager to drive as their first vehicle.

I imagine he will use this vehicle throughout highschool and
into college. If anybody has any comments
can they give some examples of some good safe vehicles
out there? such as model and year?

Thanks Much!! : )
