Cars & Transportation - 16 November 2006

I took my car in for a smog today (car registration purposes). They took one look at my car and said NO, the check engine light is on.

LONG story short- he told me I need to change my o2 scenser in order to pass smog. Is this true? Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks.

I'm doing research for a book, and in one scene I want to have a steam locomotive stop suddenly. The locomotive uses air breaks (not vacuum) and is unladden (not carrying any cars). I expect the weight to be around 500,000 lbs. Travelling at top speed at around 65 MPH.

How fare do you commute each day, in miles (both ways)? Are you M or F? I'm trying to figure out if there's a connection.

My neighbors are away for about the next 3 months and they are leaving their car in our visitors spot and the car alarm keeps going off about every hour and I don't know how to stop it. It's very loud and all the other neighbors are complaining and they think it's our car.

i recently brought a 06 nissan sentra, it drives nice, but the only thing is is that i am going to have to take it to be serviced because when i drive with speeds on or above 35 mph my doors start rattling. I also have trouble with my speakers. when i play my music, i can sometimes hear a kind of rattling noise coming from my speakers. i can tell that the speakers are not blown but this is the kind of sound i am hearing. i know i did not pay for all this to be happening. if the same things are happening to you please let me know how did the mechanics fix your problem cause i still hve the 36000/3yr warranty. Also when you take your car to the dealer to be serviced, do you have to sign that consent form they give you that says that you authorize them to fix any problems wrong with the car, because it basically holds you liable, and they do not have to ask you permission to fix the car.

I absolutely hate people who don't return to the left mand lane after overtaking or who hog the middle lane.

When I try to fill the gas tank on my 2003 matrix, it stops as if its full, when its not. I end up barely squeezing the gas lever, letting it trickle in and it takes about 10 minutes to get 15$ in gas. I cannot take it anymore but I cant afford to take it to the shop right now. Is there anythingI can do?

One thing I know is the guy who stoled it. I know him personally, he borrowed it believe it or not as a favor and didnt come back for a month. One of the reasons besides a simple favor when he burned me was the fact I know he is very good with car, knowledge wise for the most part and he is a good driver. So besides what he did overheating it, he actually fixed a couple of things. As far as getting rid of the car, it only has 164,000 miles on it and runs perfect. It sits on rims with after market bonuses as well and is a beatiful car. Well taken care of. Its not even close to the point of dumpin over this. I do have a spare engine with even less miles on it sitting here for a switch I was thinking, I just need someone in that will come to the north seattle area and swap it for me and I will trade them or pay them, if price is right. Any good mechanics that work for enexspensive pay but fair pay out there?
