I'm curious how many people drive with their factory driving lights on. On some cars/trucks they are automatically on when the engine is running and can't be turned off. I am SICK of people bright lighting me cause mine are on...Am I an inconsiderate driver or are they just stupid?

The vehicle is registered to me but my cousin was paying off the loan, he could no longer pay the loan so he let someone else take over the payments without my knowledge. How would I go about recovering the vehicle if all I have is the VIN # but not the license plate # or any extra set of keys.

OK, this comes down to a lack of knowledge of basic physics, but if anyone can give a clear answer in layman's terms, I'd appreciate it!

It's a new car - 3 months - and the tire pressure monitoring system shows "0 PSI" for all tires even though they're full. I've checked the owners' manual but it doesn't even mention the problem (let alone how to trouble shoot it). Any suggestions on how to reset the program so that it will provide accurate tire pressure readings? It's a 2006 Chevy Trailblazer, by the way.

Thanks very much!

I have a 2000 chevy s-10, the flex fuel. I am fairly mechanically inclined, so I'm confedent I can do it if its not tucked away somewhere I can't reach. I don't know where it is, or what kind of sensor I need, or if it is going to be too difficult to do myself...I have a ton of tools, but I don't have a jack or a garage, so I'll have to do it in my driveway, is it possible? Please help me out.

I want to buy some rims for my Saab, its just a 2000 9-5 Sedan, but I don't understand what I could buy to fit my car.

I looked at my tires, it says 215/55R16 93H M+S
6.5 * 16 Wheels...what does the "R16" stand for?! Does it stand for the rim size?! What is the 215/55? What is the 93H?! And what does M+S stand for?!
So what size and kind of rims should I be looking for, if I don't want to re-buy new tires...

I would appreciate any explanations and help...
Thanks

I have an '06 Accord V6 with a 6 speed manual. I am looking into installing a cold air intake and exhaust to give me a little more ooomph. I am not going to race it, I just want a little extra power for personal pleasure when I am on an empty stretch of road. If I am a daily driver that doesn't really rev the engine would this mod kill my car? What should I be careful of?

Got a question for college and need some help:

A petrol injection system *should* hold 60% LP for 1 min after switch off. *But* all pressure is lost within seconds after switch off. Name 2 possible causes and rectifications.

I know 1 cause is a faulty non-return valve in the pump, which you'd replace, but not sure about another cause. Any help would be appreciated

I've heard rumors that there is a chip you can install in a XB Scion that boosts the MPG but also the HP a little bit? Any truth to it? If so
What is the price for it?

My Prius performs a meager 33 mpg avg in the city (NYC). That´s 50% off from the EPA rating of 60 mpg... On the highway it does 45-50mpg.
Does anyone have the same problem?

Someone backed into my parked truck and took off. A person at the scene got a plate number and my wife called the police while I filed a claim with my insurance company. From what I'm told, the damage is minor (cracked rear body kit) but I'm still irked by it. Beisdes taking it to a shop to see if anything else is wrong with it (frame etc.) what else do I need to do? I want retribution.

My car was vandalised and there is a patch of burn on the roof about A5 size. Don't think that it has damaged anything other than the paint finish. I know that when ive had to have it resprayed bofore they had to do the whole side as it is hard to match metallic colours but would love to know how much to expect!
