Cars & Transportation - 14 October 2006

I just got back to the mall with my mom. While we were their my brother's car, he has my mom's, got broken into. The question my dad has does it go on our insurance or his?
My opinion is: his, because we were not driving at the time and it was just sitting in a parking lot and it was his car that got broken into.
Any and all answers would be great!
Thanks

I have a problem with my 1993 Pontiac Grand Prix.......when you are driving between 52-63 mph the car shakes kinda like if you were to grab someone by the shoulders and shake them back and fourth. It appears to get better if u turn to one side or the other otherwise it stays the same. I dont know why it shakes like this but its getting to be a problem. Any suggestions would be great.

There are a few different things that happened...it was 2am (wasn't endangering cars by speeding) was following behind another car going faster than I was...and the cop pulled us not by radar but by looking at his spedometer. We both ended up with a 90 in a 60..yet I know the car in front of me was going at least 100. The cop shined a flashlight in my face..didn't even use his lights, smelled like smoke, had red eyes, was very rude yet I was saying yes sir, asked me why I was speeding and I said I thought this road was 70 it has been the whole way..and he said no where in NC is it 70..come to find out 15 mins later it went back to 70...Is there a way that I could call the D.A. & see if I could take driving school instead, or call for a continuance to hope the cop doesnt show up in court, or try saying what happened in court? Ive called lawyers but they just say they can get it reduced and I dont have to show up, but I'd rather show up & have a chance than it go on my insurance n-e way

A friend of ours has been told that she needs to have the rotors replaced on her new SUV that has only 36K miles on it. That seems suspicious to me. I am suspicious that the dealership is maybe taking advantage of her not knowing a lot about cars. She is 60 years old and drives mostly highway miles. Any mechanics out there that can give us some feedback on this? We need an answer as soon as possible as the car is scheduled for service the first part of next week. Thank you in advance for your expertise and input.

Signed,
A concerned friend

Has anyone participated in Volvo's overseas delivery program? What was your experience? Did you think it was worth it? How much do you actually save?

1. When I put the car in reverse, the car shakes noticeably. When I put it back in drive or park, it takes like 1-1 1/2 seconds to get there and jolts.
2. Usually when I used to drive my car, the steering was nice and easy. Now it's alot harder to turn the steering wheel and it's very annoying when I'm trying to just joy ride to my next stop.
3. When I stop or slow down with my brakes, my car stalls a bit when I press down on the gas before actually accelerating. Maybe about a 1-2 second stall.

Thanks for your help and please identify which problem you are addressing.

I have a 2004 Ford Ranger Edge with the extended cab. I'd like to have nice sound but I dont want to risk getting broken into. Does anybody know of a way to install sub woofers under the driver's or passanger's seat? I'd like everything to be hidden from someone on the outside including the amp. has anyone seen this before? any pics?

Any ideas on how to put in a nice sound system without anyone being able to see it on the outside? Must be able to plug into the factory CD player)
thanks

Anyone have any idea what's wrong with my car?

While sitting, it shakes like crazy for quite a while and then revs up a little, stops for a brief moment, and goes back to shaking. It'll do this just after switching gears too until it gets to higher RPMs. So, when I'm in 5th gear and going above like 60 mph it doesn't do it at all.

Two days ago I noticed subtle changes as I had to switch gears much later than normal. Within just two days of driving, it seems like it escalated quickly to the shaking when idle.
