Cars & Transportation - 5 December 2006

Or have you gone ovber the speed limit by like 40mph on the highway. Was it fun like I think it should be. Do you agree with me when I say if there is a test to get a special racing license to race at anytime on the highway as fast as you can go even 252mph in a Bugatti Veyron. Would this be a good Idea. I mean most U.S citezens couldn't make it I mean look at the crashes in America it's the worst in the world. Should the good drivers be able to get this special racing license and do this?

My check engine light was on and was an o2 sensor before the catalyst code. I changed the o2 sensor and it came back on after about 3 drives. I replaced the o2 sensor again thinking it may have been a bad one and again the check engine light come back on indicating the same problem. What else could this be?

I'm turning 18 in a couple months and getting my driver's license. For my first car, I want my deceased Dad's '97 F-150 so I don't have to pay for a vehicle. My grandma has it in storage but won't let me have it because she believes driving a truck is too difficult for a beginning driver.
Do you any positive info about trucks that I could tell her so I can get her to change her mind and get my Dad's truck in two months?
Thanks!

Recently, a passenger in the back of my car told me I needed new suspension. How can I tell for sure? I've been paranoid that the car is bouncing more than it did, but I have no idea if that is even a tell-tale sign.

Had my car in the shop yesterday- they didn't touch anything under the hood, they just adjusted my brakes, and put my snow tires on (family friend mechanic, so I trust him) but now when I accelerate, my car is making a high pitched whizzing noise. It's hard to explain- it's not loud or obvious, but it's there. It almost sounds like something is spinning really fast- the faster I accelerate, the faster the whizzing/whirling noise gets. Anyone have any idea what could cause that?

We just recently had a ice/snow storm and my windshield wipers are acting funny. They work but when i turn them off instead of going down like they are suppose to they stick straight up. push them down and when I turn the key they go right back up? Anyone have a clue as to what's wrong with them? Please help me. LOL

I am working on a pontiac bonneville. It starts very hard and when it does, it runs with a miss and runs quite rough and wont develop power. I had the three coil packs tested at autozone they said they were fine. The first time when I got it running the catylytic converter glowed so i thought it may be plugged. the second time it ran it didnt get hot (did it get hot the first time from a miss giving the cat. more unburned fuel that usual??) the second time I drove it and it had power for about three minutes, then it died.. Thanks for any ideas

Im looking for used Porsche boxsters that are in the price range of the low-20's. I have found several cars that are local and that i can check out, however, im not sure about the long-term reliability of them. The one that i am specifically wondering about has 90k miles on it. It's a '99 Boxster Sport package. It has a clean carfax and only 2 previous owners. My main concern is that, even if the car test drives well, how long can i expect a smooth ride until i run into maintenance issues, repairs, etc...

I've been a racer for 17 years but have been hibernating for a bit. I have a 2006 Honda Civic LX that I want to put an exhaust on. Back in my day Dynomax was the one to choose and I used it on my 13.8 sec DX.

But now I don't want the loud noise, I want an exhaust that is quite but has the performance also.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
