I've been thinking a lot about this lately, i've been seeing a lot of wreckless driving and when i peep to see who the person behind the wheel is, it happens to be an elderly person.
Now don't get me wrong, i love and respect my elders but i just much rather be in a car with a teenager who just got their license than w/ an old person who can't use his/her senses to their best potential.

(think about that old man who drove his car into several people in Santa Monica's Farmers market and killed 9 of them)

I have a 1993 Chevy that still runs good but the front end and the dash starts vibrating everytime I pull up to a stop light and hold my foot on the brake. If I put it in nuetral, it stops vibrating.

I've had it to shop several times. It doesn't happen for them.

I got a parking ticket in an Enterprise Rental car. I cancelled the credit card Enterprise had on file, can Enterprise/the City track me down? Will they take the loss if I cancel the card?

I live in Ohio. My cousin just got in an accident that wasn't his fault. The thing I'm worried about is that there is no insurance on the car. The car is totalled. I was wondering if there would be any compensation that will allow us to get another car and other expenses? What usually happen in this type of situation?

car powers up with all lights including theft system but will not turn over it makes the sound of a dead battery click but the battery is charged and terminals are clean (I think that it is the theft system as I have had a problem with this before) I took it in to the dealership and had to pay $200 to have it fixed and all they said that it was a loose cable which was BS so I need to find out how to bypass this system or at least know how to start it if this problem arises again............. if not please come steal my car

In the past I have had success shopping for used cars by waiting until I find one below book and then having my mechanic check it out before I buy it. However, the last one I bought was a toyota pickup and I thought since it was Toyota I would not need a mechanic to check it out. However, it blew a head gasket and I lost the engine, meaning on a Toyota it is a total 3k loss. My thought is to go back to my old method to find my next used car. What do you think? suggestions to buy one underpriced that is reliable.

I'm driving a 2004 Ford Focus Sedan with full bodykit but my rim is still original size 185/65-14. I noticed that my tyre tents to wear out very quickly, like i change my tyres every 7-8 months and i'm using Michelin Energy tyres. So, if i change my tyre size to 195/65-14, will my tyre last longer? i travel about 40k Km per year at least. Also i check my tyre pressure every week, alignment every month, everything is fine and just change my shocks.

What would cause it to stop working then work OK for a whole 2 days and then stop again? Is it the towing, tires, or ??? Thanks.
