I heard putting hot water on it is not a good idea. I warmed it up and tried to gently scrape it off. Any ideas?

My carfax report on this car showed a clear title. The ebay listing showed a clear title. I received the car and it has a tag that says untitled car. I've tried contacting the seller about the title but haven't heard back yet. Is this uncommon for a car not to have a title? Do I have ownership? How do I register my car?

When I back up I can hear a clanking and clicking. When I brake I hear a shuffle sound, and now recently the same sound when I'm driving. (continuos shuffle) I feel like the problem is getting worse, from the right side, is it a tire issue, and if so what is the problem?

I was in an auto accident a little more than 2 years ago(not at fault). I was taken in the ambulance, and after an MRI was diagnosed with a herniated disc on my L5-S1. I have been in constant pain since the date of the accident and have received just about every type of treatment there is. I have done physical therapy, chiropractor, acupuncture, 2 different sets of injections in to the disc, and spinal rehabilitation. Nothing has worked. My lawyer is suing my insurance under my underinsured motorist for 300,000. And he is also suing the other driver's insurance for 100,000. How much do you think I can expect?

We looked at a used Isuzu Rodeo and would like to purchase it. The seller still owes the bank money and the title will not be sent until it is paid off.

My first question is how does he sell the vehicle if he still owes money on it?

What is the proper way to buy this vehicle?

How I can find out from H-D? Their website has no information on them and only phone numbers for dealers who have no idea. About 5 months ago they announced on the news that they would be coming out with them. Where is their Headquarters located.?Maybe I can try and get their phone number. Thanks for any help.

For example, you're at a stoplight. If you put the car in Park, it won't roll back or forward and it'll just say there. But say, instead of doing that at the stoplight, you have your right foot on the brake, you're in Drive and you put the handbrake on. If you let go of the brake, will it just be like the car is in Park even thought it's still in Drive? Will the car roll back or forward if you do this?
