Hopefully someone can help to understand what orange peel in my paint job is? I just leased (2 weeks ago) a 2006 Dodge Durango, however I noticed when the sun hit it that the entire truck front to back is covered in scratches, which look to be swirled scratches and also a silver looking swirling on the doors and front corner panels. I took it back to the dealer the day after I picked it up and they insisted it was just a "bad wheel job". They applied a teflon coating and wheeled the truck out again. Yet, the swirled scratches are still all over the truck. I again had the truck up there and the head of the body shop said it is "orange peel". I don't know what to do, as I do not feel that I should have to pay 289.00 a month for a "new" truck that has a crap paint job. They say they will contact Chrysler to see what they want to do. Any suggestions, any at all. I'm so disappointed and frustrated. What causes orange peel, I've been told they do it to cars that are meant to custom painted?

It was a large car and I thank God it was a large car and not a smaller car. The other Guy came in my drivers door side at 50 mph and collapsed the door skin up to the protective door bar, smashing the window glass, yet I was unhurt, all my friends say that had the car been smaller, I would have been dead , do you think it is better to drive around in BIG cars rather than small cars, even if they are heavy on the Gas, give your reasons either way ?

I recently exchanged my Canadian driving license for a full UK license but insurance quotes are so high because most companies only consider that I haven't had my full license for more than a year (in fact I have had a full Canadian license for 8 years). The insurance companies also don't seem to consider that I have had no claims on my Canadian insurance for 8 years. Does anyone know of a UK car insurance provider that will consider foreign driving experience in their quotes?

It's German spec with a 1.8i engine (I think), I changed the alternator, belts, sparks plugs, spark plug wires, distributor cap, and water pump. Now when I try to start it it tries but the engine won't turn over. What else could it be? Yes there is a full tank of gas in it and the battery is new. Any ideas? I am not the best with cars.

go to any rally cross meeting and you see evos and scoobies eaten and by the likes of rover metros, ford fucus and everything else out there. everyone seems to wonder round wearing their subaru jackets, to be honest i'd be embarest when you see them getting lapped on the track. off the track my tuned MG ZS 2.5 V6 not only looks sooooo much better but it leaves the afore mentioned escort look alikes for dead dispite beeing 2 wheel drive. my theory is that on play station games evos and scoobies are portrayed as good cars. anyone else realised?

Surely it is safer than loking at the person sitting in the car who is speaking to you as many women do.
I tried to report a dangerous driver and all I got was earache about driving and using a phone and I was the passenger!.
Surely it is composing text messages, or dialling which is dangerous.

And they seem to hog the armrests and have to open their newspaper as wide as possible (though I do notice women do this as well, including sitting with their legs wide open too)!

I need to know if there is other motorcycle gas caps that will fit my vision. The original replacement will cost me around 40.00! I am not ready to spend that for a gas cap!

My truck is a Camper Special. I've tried to use a blanket as a seat cover before but it always slides down. I want it to look nice and tight but the seat doesn't fold forward so it's hard to tuck the edges of the blanket in. Should I remove the seat to do this, and if so, how?
