Cars & Transportation - 10 December 2006

I love my car;, but I don't drive it that much: only 22,000 miles in 4 years. It is in great shape. I think the book value is $15,000. It cost me $276 a month w/$1,000 down to lease. Should I turn it in or buy it? One dealer I talked to said if things go wrong it will be expensive to fix. In 3 to 4 years it will be the same as if I leased a new one and then the car will be 8 years old, w/ 44,000 miles: Will there be that many repairs, probably between now and then, and after that? Expert car owners only please reply.

My 99 Honda has an OBDII code P1457 print out says "unable to pull vacuum in tank" looked it up inline and it says "leak detected in EVAP control system." Could this be why I'm burning so much oil? Is this part of the ECG? My friend told me it might be the "charcoal Canister," does this sound right? Will it cost alot to fix? Please help me!
I would really like to know if this is my oil problem thanks!

I pulled over to to side of the street and turned my engine off and took the keys with me and forgot to place the car in parked and it was still in drive and it didn't move. Is that normal? Does a car have to be in parked in order for the engine to start?

I was in a bus lane on a Saturday. ALL the bus lanes were mon-fri. THEN all of a sudden the sign posted said mon-sat... a bus and a van were infront of me and i didn't see the sign until about 5m into the bus lane (that only because i was trying to get out!).
NO where was a sign saying that cameras are being used.
Along that same road there are many spots where you can "enter" the bus lane but there is no sign to indicate its hours of operation.
Some signs along that road are blocked by traffic lights, trees, other signs.
.
I was fined and I appealed. I have to show up infront of adjucator 2007. WHAT ARE THE LAWS THAT COUNCILS MUST FOLLOW REGARDING SIGNS? ANYONE SUGGEST REASONS FOR APPEAL IN MY CASE? WHAT SHOULD I TAKE AS EVIDENCE?

Looking to change my car but would like to keep my current car and maybe do some work on it. (dont worry its not a banger its just getting a bit tired) If it is declared off the road, can it be reinstated for use on the road once any work has been done. I understand this would really only apply for around the Taxing date but is there anything that would cause a problem with doing this. Understand that the car would need taxed before it could be put back on the road anyway.

I'm looking on the net, e-bay etc for a poster or a bit of memorabilia of a Triumph TR2 for a present for my dad who owned one in the 1950s. But all the quaint adverts etc have a picture with a bloke (of course) driving in the left-hand seat. Are these all from American mags or what? I want to buy him a bit of nostalgia, but not if it's a picture of Yanks driving a TR2 - he'd kill me!

I been delivery pizza for less than a month now and it's a pretty dangerous job. What scares me is not getting robbed but getting into car accidents because I get into nearly one collision every day that I worked. Any pizza driver ever been in a actual collision while on the job? What were your thoughts at the time and did you lose your job?

I hate going to a dealer to buy a car!! I have done my homework and want to buy a Hyundai SE, but the dealers add on a bunch of garbage and jack up the price. How much is it realistic to pay for the car.
