Cars & Transportation - 7 October 2006

You're the average person. Your walking, not speed-walking, or jogging, around the neighborhood for an hour. After that hour, you wanna know how many miles you've walked. How many miles did you walk in that hour?

My car broke down in Pensacola, FL while I was on my way back to Hampton, VA. I called roadside assistance and was towed to an auto repair shop. They told me that I needed a master and slave cylinder for my clutch for a Pontiac Transam. I was told it would take 7 hours of labor. I was skeptical, but I went ahead and had them perform the repairs, because I had to get back to work and did not want to risk getting in trouble. Plus, I figured if I charged the amount, I could dispute later. Well, later I did dispute. I tried the Florida State Attorney General, they could not help me, so I tried the BBB. They told me that they could not arbitrate because the auto repair was not a member. So I am looking for a consumer advocacy group that will arbitrate my case. I am so disappointed in the system. I thought for sure that the Attorney General or BBB would help me.

A handi cap spot or a fire lane? My bf sometimes parks in fire lane when he's "just running in" but he doesn't realize that ambulances also use fire lanes too.

I really need some help. We got a car yesterday from an individual. When we first looked at the inside it looked a little dirty and smelled very clean, strong but clean. The outside looks great and run great. After about an 2 hours or so we signed the papers. We got in the 2000 Montero Sport to go home and there was a noticeable musky\sour smell. After about 4 hours the smell was so bad that it makes me gag. I pulled a piece of the carpet up and there is sand and brown stains that kinda look like water marks. I was lied to. I was never told about the smell or any flood damage. What should I do? Can I cancell the deal?

I remember as a kid my parents carrying the loaded clip in the trunk and the gun unloaded under the seat. I know you can get a concealed weapon license, but aside from that, on a long road trip, what is legal to carry where for a handgun?
