Did all Pontiac Firebirds come standard with darkened windows, or was that just an option? What years were they manufactured? What years was the body style changed?

When I say forever, I am referring to it’s durability in using it repeatedly. Since it is bulletproof, does that mean it is *always* capable of stopping/deflecting bullets, or does it mean it is like a one time thing? For example, say a police car that has bulletproof glass windows gets caught in a shoot out. If the car windows get shot six times, does it still hold the same durability as it had before it was shot, or can it, (after a lot of hits) eventually break?

A few days ago I went out to start the car. I had started up the car and went in side for several minutes. When we got back to the car and began driving it, the car began making a deep rumbling noise and minor vibrations. This hasn't stopped and been very consistent. It hasn't been worse or better. The noise is obvious, sound like a constant rumble along with a vibration feeling in the car. The check engine light remains on. Any ideas what's wrong here? If so, any idea how much it would cost to get fixed? Additionally there are more prominent vibration/noises when switching gears(this is an automatic car)

I don't know if any of you are experiencing this too, but my Civic LX 2006 accelerates slowly and the RPM meter jumps real fast when I step on the gas. And the engine noise is loud comparing to other new cars I drove before.

i took it to the shop today and all he said i needed was to replace the cap from the coolant tank. I'm a bit skeptical! My dad replaced the fan motor about a year ago but i fear that is giving me a problem again. I drive long distances on freeways and while im driving, my car is fine, its once im stuck in traffic and idle that te temp starts rising. i'm hope im worng about all this in that it truly was just that cap. is it at all possible that the fan wouldnt run becuase of the effects that cap caused? please help! my father is no longer a part of my life and i need all the advice i can get. Thanks so much

I left my gas cap off and someone told me this may have caused my check engine light to come on. Well I filled the tank and drove it a bit, but the light is still on. I drive a 99 chevy malibu. Is the light supposed to turn off or do I have to get it reset??

Okay well I have fixed my other problems.. cut wires from ecu. Now my mechanic found that he put water in my gas tank. He said he has to drian it. After he does that should my car be fine? I only got it to run about 3 min trying to get it to start before I had found out what was wrong. Do you think that could have cause enough water to get in my cylinders?
