I am not talking about when all lanes are filled with cars to capacity. The left lane is traditionally for passing slower traffic and not for cruising. There is alwasy that one person holding everyone up when that same person could travel in one of the other lanes at the same speed. Are they trying to make people drive slower? Are they the boss? I understand that the speed is the same in all lanes, but this is a common courtesy that is often ignored by communters.

I drove the speed limit this morning to see how many people actually were (not in the far-left lane). There were a few over to the right and two jackasses in the passing lane holding traffic up. Everyone else was flying by me (I'm saying that the ambiant traffic flow was faster than the speed limit to prove its not just me).

If you say, "speeding is against the law", do you ALWAYS drive under the limit? You never, EVER drive over the limit, not even a little? You always, ALWAYS err to the slow side? ALWAYS?

I have a 96 Toyota 4runner 3.0 liter and I need to replace the clutch. I am wondering if there is anything in particular that I need to worry about when doing it, as I would like to do it myself. I have moderate experience and am confident that I can do it.

The main thing I am wondering is, what parts am I going to need to buy to do this. I want to buy everything that I will need to do the job in one trip (that has rarely happened in the past) as well as things that I might as well replace while I am in there, as far as maintanence.

Thanks.

This is dangerous and inconsiderate. Modern automobiles have no problem getting up to the posted speed by the time the on-ramp ends. So why do people think it's OK to merge into highway traffic at 10 or 15 mph below the posted speed? If this offends you, then why do you do it?

NOTE: The little pedal on the right is what you need to push. Not only does it make the car sound louder, it also makes the car go FASTER too. AMAZING!! The things they come up with these days!!

I own a 97 Mustang covertible and I have looked EVERY WHERE for these keys and after a week of searching, I cannot find it. The car continues to sit in the front driveway and I need it moved. I cannot take it out of Park without the key to it.
First, how much does a new car key cost for a car? If too much, I will just sell it to the local junk yard. It's a nice car, but I cannot afford over $200 to rekey it.

Any responses appreciated. Thanks.

On a 2001 Kia: My friends car is having starting problems. He's replaced the battery and the altenator. He had to jump it off twice last night to get it home. My meter shows that the battery has 12.1v charge, but it won't start on its own power. We jumped it off and removed the cables, then my meter showed a flucuation in charge. It went from 12v to 13.5v then down to 9.2v and shot up to 22.5v and dropped to 7.0v.

I suspect a faulty voltage regulator but am not sure since the car won't start (acts like a dead battery-click,click).

After all this I discovered that the neg. cable was loose so I tightened it up. THEN, he told me that he was running a 2,000w amp for his stereo. I believe that he will keep going through altenators as long as he's running that amp!!

Assuming he quits running the amp, should I check out anything else. We're going to go ahead and replace this altenator.

My 96 Intrepid (150000 miles) makes a loud clunking noise when either turning sharply or when accelerating quickly or up a steep hill. I am pretty sure the CV joints need to be replaced, but am wondering if those symptoms are all consistent with that or if it may also be the air filter, or possibly a timing belt issue. Any ideas??

Does anyone know the website that allows you to choose your car and place the rims on them to get a visual of how your ride will look with the rims.

I dropped it off at 10am and I'm just wondering how long it generally takes before the diagnosis is complete (assuming they start on it right away- which is unlikely). I'm trying to figure out why it's jerking/ shaking and my RPM meter fluctuates when I'm at a stop and is worse when the heat is on. It actually shut off this morning! (hit adeer, but cosmetic damage is fixed) Also, what are the pros/ cons of a diagnostic test? I'm being charged $93 for the test, does that sound ok?

We have a '89 thunderbird, gage is broke. If i gave him $20 a week how many miles would that give him? $2.19 gallon and about 180 miles a week. I think the fuel capacity is about 22 gallons. Let me know how you figure it to. Or just give me the way to figure it instead of answering. First one to figure gets best answer.

I hardly ever drive my car(1999 Dodge Neon, two door)...I drove it a short distance-less then a mile and it overheated. The mechanic I took it to said there was a huge crack in the radiator and he'd get the part and do the labor for $325. I called some auto part places and I found I can get a new radiator w/lifetime warrenty for $143 for my model. I went back and asked what he'd charge for labor if I just bought the part- he said $80. If I need to replace the radiator is there another part I should be concerned about? I heard somewhere you should always replace the theremostat when you replace the radiator. I just really need to make sure everythings running right before I pack up my car and move to Montana (from Cali). And I want to know just what I need so I don't get swindled. Help much appreciated.
