The lines look like the loop lines in the road around stoplights, but these are way out in the middle of nowhere on the interstates and there is always a pole with a solar panel on the side of the road next to them. I assume they're some kind of sensor, but what are they sensing??

what else could it be?

A red light came on the dashboard of my 1997 Toyota Camry LE. The light is on the far right below the RPM meter. The light looks like a windshield with dashes coming out of it through the top. I don't have a manual and was wondering if anyone might know what this light means?

Our 2000 Honda Civic was stolen 3 days ago. KBB is $8000. We just went to check it out. The following things are gone: the entire front of the vehicle was stripped. There is not one piece of metal meaning no hood, bumper, fender, grill, side wheel cover things). However, the engine and mechanical pieces seem to be intact (this is just visual inspection). There are no headlights and there appears to no longer be any headlight wiring.
The steering column and ignition are busted. The drivers side window was taken and our stereo was taken. They took the black plastic pieces on the bottom of the vehicle that are attached to the doors. They began to unwire our side mirrors and took all the speaker covers and damaged the door panel. The inside of the trunk is ruined. When stealing the spare tire and jack they just ripped up the floor and broke the carboard piece and carpet piece--it smells bad. It also looks like they tried removing the bumper--it may be bent? How much damage in dollars?

i have a 94 sentra with about 75k on it. lately, when i am driving for a while, it starts to shake a lot and the radio fades in and out. no static, just gets really quiet and then back to original volume. i noticed that when the shaking begins, the lights in the dash flicker. and the other day when the key is in the "start" position WITHOUT cranking the engine, i don't even have enough power to wind up the window. now the engine has to be started to draw enough power to wind the windows up. i have had to jumpstart it twice in three days. i got a brand new battery on nov. 10th BEFORE this issue even started. the alternator is fine. and the battery can hold the charge. (i can restart right after the boost). my dad says it may be a loose ground wire? any thoughts?? thanks in advance.

Hey, i have a 1997 Renault Megane 1.6 5dr hatch. I filled the water up in the coolant tank the other day to the max and it keeps going down but there is no sign of any leaks? Does this mean my head gasket has blown or could it just be an air lock? please help. Ive only just bought the car and the bloke i got it from said he only just had the gasket changed? Please help. Thankyou
