I'm sure everyone that drives or has sat in the passenger seat has encountered these situations where they see the car in front of them *constantly* stopping. If the driver is learning how to drive/a new driver, then okei, that's understandable. Or if the driver is driving a standard car, that's understandable. And yeah, sometimes, they may be looking for a street or something but ergh ... what about all those OTHER times? I just figure there are other reasons.

What's worse though are those folks that brake at every intersection even with GREEN traffic lights. There are no flashing hands or anything to indicate that the light is going to change soon!

So! If you brake for phantom cars, please enlighten me as to why you do it. Thanks~!

I am a 5'3" very slight woman who enjoys rowing. I would like to purchase a small craft to row. It can haul it in my father's truck or Cherokee; however, I need to be able to lift it out of the back and place it in the river about 50 feet away. Do you know of a lightweight boat that could be used in this manner? (I have back pain from stiff muscles, so while working out will help, it really needs to be light when I have to pick it up.) Thanks a bunch!

we have a 1995 Pontiac Transport 219000miles .. Yes i know it has a lot of miles, but here is my question ...

From a cold start, it starts just fine , and idles high , but if we go to put it in gear (any) it makes a shifting sound like it is going to go into gear , but it just sits there and revs up. If we let it sit for 15-20 minutes , it will go into gear.
When you are going down the road , it shifts hard , and most of the time when you are driving down the road , it will shift out of gear to neutral or anyway acts like neutrual.

When you stop at a light or a sign if we dont shift it down into 2nd or 1st gear it will go out of drive and then we have to shift it back to neutral , and then back to drive.
And when you are at a take off it will rumble with the take off .
We have tried changing the transmission filter , and fluid as well as the spark plugs and wires , and still doing this , what can you tell me to try and fix this , are we looking at replacing the transmission or is there something else we can try ??

My service engine soon light has been on and off since february. I have taken it to the dealership, autozone, and my mechanic and they all say the computer is reading bad O2 sensors and catalytic converter. They have all been replaced three times, but the light still comes on. I have been told that the light coming on is a common problem in 02 and 03 grand ams and gran prix's. Is there any way to get the light off, or any idea of what could be causing this? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Would having a broken trim gauge on a boat cause it to malfunction? Or will the boat run fine without it ? How would i go about replacing it ?

Like I said I have a 2003 Ford Crown Victoria that was once a Police car and it has holes on the top where the sirens used to be.

My questions are these.

What happens if I never get this fixed?

How will rain or snow affect it?

Where could I go to get this fixed?

How much would it cost?

And is there a way that I could fix it myself and have it look nice?

I am looking for people who know what they are talking about.

Please Help.

My blower motor only has two settings now. Off or High. The dealer says it is a resister, and the part cost $10.70. But I can't get the blower motor unplugged under the dash. The motor is easy to get to.

I'm in my mid 20's and I've never gotten my license. I've been afraid to drive. I think of how I could hurt people being behind the wheel. I feel like it's taken a chunk of opprotunities out of my life because of it. I need to drive sooner rather than later. I don't want to finish the rest of my twenties without experiencing this. Please help!!!

Working w/ a dealership. Is this right? 74,000 miles, was leased by someone, I am putting 2,000.00 down, price is 8,995.00, at 23.80% interest rate, 1,100.00 service contract which is the 2 yr. warranty, 545.40 for taxes, loan for 5 yrs. total at 15, 056.40 and Deferred Price (after 5 yrs.) 17,056.40. This seems a bit much for a 2001? but this is the only person I could find to approve me cuz of my bad credit (went through a divorce) & I can't buy out right, have to borrow the 2,000.00 down payment. He is putting on new front tires & I kinda know the guy so should I trust him? It costs $50.00 to $75.00 for a saftey check through any mechanic. Should I get this done? Didn't look like there was any paint work done to it. Thanks for anyone that can help me.

They tell me that I should store the boat for the winter with the gas tank empty...seems that ethanol in the gas will cause possible damage or an awful lot of water at the least in my tank,only thing that bothers me is that they say that if I give the gas to them that they will drain it at no charge? Kinda seems foolish not to give it to them because I certainly have no way to remove appx.12-13 gallons of gas. Does this make sense or is the dealer just looking for free gas?

My 1991 Toyota Tercel will not shift into any gears except reverse. The gear shift will not move into any of the forward gears. Could it be the linkage?
