Since this world also belongs to bugs and flies, why can't car windscreens be shaped like a ship's prow so they aren't squashed? It would help too, with fuel efficiency.

i own 99 mitsubishi eclipse with manual transmission.
until 12 hours ago my car seemed to run pretty smooth.
but today morning when i start it, it wouldn't get into the gear.
i had to force the gear stick into the gears. Also i noticed that when i was in reverse gear, releasing the clutch very slightly got the car moving more than usual.
1. Does it look like something with the clutch ?
2. How much money i might be looking at to get it repaired depending on what it is?
3. I go to greg's japanese auto, in chandler, arizona. They're quite expensive though. if it's a clutch thing should i go to someone who specializes in those. do you know anyone in arizona who work's with clutches, gearboxes e.t.c ?

Two weeks ago my Renault Scenic (2002) decided to die. When you turned the ignition, the warning lights came on as normal but the engine would not turn over. Compeltely dead. I tried the usual jump start etc, but nothing, so got it towed to the garage. They subsequerntly told me it was starting in neutral (yes, it's automatic), and they'd check to see if it was the inhibitor or central electrics unit. A week later they sent it back, having found nothing wrong but with a bill for £150.

This week it did the same again, only this time it won't even start in neutral. I've tried to locate the starter motor, just to check it's not a problem with that, and it is well hidden. My manual has a really tricky procedure for removing it, so I'd rather not if I can help it. At the moment though I want to test the circuit, to check if it is a dodgy connection, but unless I can get to the solenoid I don't think I can. Perhaps that isn't it either.

Anyone experienced the same problem?

I was in an accident gave my version to my insurance and the other party involved. She refussed to give her version to my insurance. I was in a right hand turning only lane. Se was in the only other lane to go straight stopped in traffic. I was going about 30MPH and as soon as I got inches from her she decides to change lanes, we hit . I hit her right passenger door and my car is damaged on the driver side.So my question is this, she is saying I was trying to overtake her car. I am not sure what she means. I was told by both insurance companies that she was "A weird Lady". Her insurance Co. told me that it sounds like she was at fault but needed to take pictures and get her statment. Well now it looks as if neither Insurance Co. is budging. Mine is sticking to my story and her insurance is sticking to her story. What can I do to get my car fixed I have liability only. I need her insurance to pay for my damages. Looking at the pictures its clear to see how the impact occur

I replaced the battery but the problem persists. I have a 2003 Subaru Outback and over the past, week the problem has gotten really bad. Now I have to stand near my car and click "unlock" and then "lock" again and again, sometimes 10 or 20 times until it finally opens the door. And, the ignition key doesn't easily turn the door lock, although I have NEVER used the key in the door in over 3 years. Any ideas?

I have basic tools, common sense, and less money than I'd like. If it's easy and worth my time, I'd love to do it myself rather than bring it in to a shop, but how is it done? Is it simple? Thanks!

Hi!

I'm looking for a really good source for OEM and other replacement parts for my 1967 Chevy Fleetside Pickup. Wheels, Glass, Sheetmetal, etc. Been searching the web and found a 'few' but no one has the OEM 6-lug wheels for example. Any/all reliable information, links, etc.

Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.

:D

I've had some pretty horendous experiences with Southwest airlines flying - i couldn't really fit in their seats, and they weren't very helpful about it saying that I should have bought another seat! - and it's been ages since I got in plane and I'm quite a bit wider now. What's the best airline if you're are bigger girl?

I have a small 4 door sedan. I was wondering how much it would cost to have a wheel alignment done on it. I want to do that first and then get some tires next payday. So for the alignment alone..how much can I expect to pay?

Where would be the best place in the world to do flight training? I already have a private pilot's license and would like to continue on with my training, but I just can't afford it, especially with the rising costs of oil and fuel here in the U.S. Would it be advisable for me to relocate to an oil-rich Middle-Eastern country such as Jordan or Saudi Arabia for this purpose? (having already lived for two years in Central Asia, I'm prepared for the geographical displacement and culture shock)...or should I just tough it out here in the states?
