Cars & Transportation - 2 November 2006

These awful cars need to be taken off the road. Children MIGHT be safer in them, but at the cost of any other poor child who happens to get in the way of one. Not only are they heavy and unsafe to pedestrians, but they also have massive blind spots.
Their sales are high because they pander to people's paranoia about safety as well as a lot of driver's personal insecurity and lack of self esteem. In the old days these latter drove fast sports cars, but now our roads are so blocked that they find no pleasure in this, so they go for size and muscle instead.
Then of course there are the environmental costs.
I live down a long farm track in the country, but I also know that anyone competant to drive can get a modern front wheel drive car through virtually anything, including quite deep snow.

I am in the market for a car, I found this one, it is nice in and out, but it has 114,000 miles. I am not sure if that is considered high miliage for the year it is. Also, in the year 1999, were cars being built to push 200,000 miles? Is a Ford Tuarus lx sedan a reliable car if it was and continues to be mantained properly at the above miliage?

Hello

My 1989 Mazda pickup sometimes slow-leaks coolant from a very small (about 1/8 inch) round opening on part of the front of the engine block. This hole is not the result of damage; it seems to be something where a small plug might fit. No threads are visible, so I'm pretty sure a screw or bolt doesn't belong there. I think the opening is located near where the timing belt cover attaches to the front of the engine block.

Does anyone know what this opening is, and what the leak might be resulting from? The radiator, hoses, and water pump all seem to be OK. You can sometimes see the coolant leaking out of this mystery opening; no other visible leaks or problems. The truck runs great, doesn't overheat or produce smoke or any other noticeable problems.

Love the truck, want to keep it on the road and stop or minimize this slow leak. Thanks!...

99 corolla, whenever it's cold outside, I get into my car and can't close the door. The door won't latch and pops back open. Sometimes I can slam it and lock it real quick and it stays shut. Last time, however, the door didn't latch and the automatic locks popped up and down, over and over, for about 5 minutes, all by themselves. Any ideas???? (Once the car is warm, the door will usually shut, but the locks keep popping.)
