I purchased a used 2006 Freestyle and the place did not know the door entry code for the vehicle. They said it was a simple thing for a dealer to take care of. Well, it is....for $40. That's what the dealer wants for taking five minutes to hook up his computer gizmo and telling me the big secret code. Is there another way to accomplish this?
(No, I'm not gonna try to guess it by going through 1000's of attempts).

This is a new Toyota Aygo and the windscreen gets fogged up even when it's not raining, I've tried re-circulate and various other settings in the car and it doesn't seem to help. The only thing that works is blasting the air conditioning through the defrost outlets onto the window.

Police are on the lookout for a car that was stolen while a child was inside.

According to the Police Bureau, the child's mother parked her car in front of a store at the southwest corner of a Street. The woman ran inside the store, leaving her toddler buckled in a car seat and keys in the ignition. When she came out, the car was gone.

Whoever took the car decided they did not want the child around and dropped the toddler off at a nearby corner. The child was returned to the mother.

No matter how quick I think I am going to be I always bring my daughter in with me even if she falls asleep while we are driving. Gee no one should ever leave an infant or small child in a car.

it seems like there really isn't a physical difference between the two, but double shifting wouldn't exist if that's true. and it just seems like double shifting would take slightly longer, which doesn't make sense in a racing-type situation. so what's the big advantage in rev-matching while having the clutch engaged and the transmission in neutral?

The car is 2004 brand new, in a normal car, the rmp goes to a certain number and then back down when it shifts to the second gear.... this car doesn't, just stays on the same number depending on how you push the accelerator. I took it back to the company and they said this is how its done. when i talked about the burnout thing it was a different problem.... the computer thing could be the problem...that interesting... any other ideas except the computer one?

Automobile is very general so I would like to know the above except with the word automobile replaced "compact car" and "SUV". What I means by "electrical components" is the parts of the car that either use or are run by electricity. Forget the lights, i'm talking abou things that my affect or are related to the engine or things that make cars move or help control the way they move.

Thanks ahead of time.

My Vectra car has a screw-in aerial above the back (tinted) window. The am radio reception is terrible. What can I do to get a clear reception? I live in Newcastle but my favourite station is Sydney 702. I'm also missing Radio National. Even the local ABC radio (1233) is very poor. Thank you.

I am about to turn 16, and I am debating with my father whether or not a car is safe for a young driver. He wants me to get an oversized redneck SUV that I want nothing to do with. When I drive my moms Escalade, I have trouble keeping it on the road all of the time because it is so wide. When I drive my dads bmw, I have no problems at all. Is a mustang safe for a first car? Is it heavy enough? Please post websites with your response if you have any. Thanks.
