Cars & Transportation - 10 December 2006

I vaguely remember hearing some time ago (10, 15 years ago?) that the State of Michigan had - for at least a brief period - dropped the requirement that people take a road test before getting their driver's license for the first time. The reason had to do with the state's budget, and it caused a bit of a stir. Is this true? If not, did something similar happen, maybe in another state, or just in parts of Michigan, such as Detroit? It seems like a crazy thing to do. Please provide supporting evidence if you have it. I'm just curious.

Sometimes it starts right away other times I think I am going to wear my starter out. Just had all filters changed, battery cables cleaned and the battery is strong.

My jeep has been hesitating to start in the am. And if I even leave the headlights on for a few minutes, the battery dies. I bought a new battery and it still wont start. Jumped it once and it started, now it wont jump at all. Any ideas??????

I looked at a hybrid Toyota Highlander and the mileage was not much different than a regular Highlander -- within a few mpg's of each other. But the hybrid has 80% less emissions. So you are putting in about the same amount of gas and getting 80% less emissions out. Where does the difference go? Or how is this explained?

I have a 96 neon with a fuel problem, When it has a full tank of gas its using a quarter tank every 30 miles I've checked and changed the spark plugs and had the injectors cleaned and had the fuel pump replaced but I still cant get the fuel under control. The only other thing I think it might be is a sensor in the fuel line ?

I got a new 07 camry worth about 30k but not even a week after i got it, I crashed into a brick mailbox. The front in was totally smashed and it was smoking a little and the car was in the air proped on the remainder of the mailbox. But the rest of the body work looked ok
I know it was totally my fault because of lack of attention. What do the chances are of it being totaled?
