I know that a car with a reconditioned title means that it's been damaged or wrecked. My question is, I know that you normally wouldn't want to buy a car in this condition, but what if you have no other options? These cars are often inexpensive, and easier to get if you have poor credit. About how long would a car with a reconditioned title last? Could it possibly last at least a year?

when I take off it souds fine but about 2nd gear it sounds like there is a slight clog in the exhaust. In neutral, when I rev it up it sounds fine. What could this be? Maybe the catalytic converter?

Which is better and why, French cars or American cars, and how do they compare?

I'm doing a project in French class and I am supposed to compare French and American cars to one another. Such as which is better at what(i.e. safety features, reliability, enviroment friendly). I would prefer that you did not answer to this question if you are no where near expertise on the subject and have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.

1989 oldsmobile cutlass supreme. BLACK !!!, coupe, red burgundy interior. paint on the hood is starting to peel, but its not a big prob. has 6 inch dent in right front quarter panel. needs a torque converter (i probably replace though). car is fun to drive and has plenty of power out of its 3.1 liter "multi-port"v6 pushrod engine. enought to break the wheels from a stoplight. my brother pulled the rear view mirror off the glass, but i could glue it back with cement glue or sumthin. headliner fell off. new tires. auto, 152 K miles. runs fine. small scratches on trunk.

I'm sick and tired of American cars. They fall apart quickly and I have had the worst of trouble with them. I've supported them up until now. Time to get a foreign! What do you guys think about the 2006 Honda CRV?

I find that hardly anyone in my city uses his or her turn signal. I personally feel it's a necessary and courteous aspect of driving. Please tell me reasons why you don't use yours, if you don't.

Would like it to look nice, but making it gas-tight is most important. The plastic cap is also cracked.

Any ideas?

I have changed the bodies off of two truck frames so the lines have been disconnected and reconnected between the two. The brake pedal and clutch go straight to the floor when pressed. you do not get no fluid at all when trying to bleed them. I refilled the tanks but they drained empty when the body was off the frame.

How do I bleed all the air from the lines to get ready to start bleeding like normal?

Thank you all for your help. I got it off and it looks like it has mud in it. The thermostat was not lined up on the gasket properly. Can I just line it up right, clean it out and reuse. And would this possibly have been the cause of my car, that had coolent, over heating?
