Cars & Transportation - 8 November 2006

Looks like a commercial board... I saw it mostly in california (for example on hwy 101 and hwy 1)... Is it a way to promote some roads???

Thanks for helping a frenchman.

PS : why do you pass cars on the right on freeways... it's a bit upseting when you come from Europe!

I got a ticket for speeding (67 in a 50) a little over 8 months ago. I took it to court because it was a "first offense" and got the points down from 2 to 1. I never got anything from my insurance company, so I thought I got lucky and my rates would stay the same. About three weeks ago, we had a bad wind storm in Maryland and a tree limb fell on my jeep. I reported it the same day and the insurance is fixing. Yesterday I got a letter in the mail from my insurance saying my rates were going up from the ticket in March. Do you think that my report of the tree limb triggered them to look at my driving record and raise the rate or is it just a coincidence that this happened at the same time?

I was driving down the freeway and my G20 just lost power (no sputtering), then, as I pulled off to the side to exit it appeared to be OK so I pulled back onto the freeway. After another minute it lost power again so I pulled off at the next exit where I pulled over - the car seemed to be purring normally (so I thought maybe it swallowed a bad chunck of gas). I pulled back onto the freeway. Two exits later I could feel the power leaving again so I pulled off on the next exit. As I was driving down the road trying to get to a car repair place I had been to before it started losing power again. I drove on the shoulder surging then rolling repeatedly as the power went and came back. I made it to where I cut across to make a left hand turn - I was able to cut acroos to the turn lane, wait at the light and turn to make it to the car place. They looked at the car and found nothing unusual - they replaced the air & gas filter. No prob with injectors/firing. Still not resolved... HELP

I lost my gas cap 2 weeks ago and have been driving without it. There is a metal seal , it keeps the gas in .Would driving without a gas cap cause problems like the check engine light to come on and a weird burning smell? ( I smell something burning but temp gage is normal.)

Hi,
The insurance company is making me crazy.

How can I find out how much my car is supposed to be worth? It has 100K miles, power windows, power sun/moon roof, and cloth interior. Tape/Radio (no CD)

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Starter, alternator and battery were replaced recently. When I try to restart, it sounds as though it's turning over but it doesn't.
