Cars & Transportation - 2 March 2007

i'm looking for the name if the company that has that commercial where the lady is telling how to save on car insurance, on the back there is a truck, that i believe said HONK if you want to save or something like that, and as she speaks you also hear the cars going by honking.
thanks

if a red light is ahead of you, why the hell are you driving 50miles per hour and getting mad at me for slowing down, trying to preserve my brakes? do drivers have any brains anymore?

I want to rent a car, i'm 28 years old. I'm traveling here from Mexico, i do have a california drivers licence. However, i haven't received my actual plastic licence. All i have is the temp licence issued by the dmv. It believe it's the same, it just expires in like 2-3 months. I do have my visa and my passport. Can i still rent a car for two weeks? If so, what agency can i rent it at? Thanks for your info.

I'm thinking of getting a Camry and I currently have an SUV. Now, I live in the south where everyone and their uncle drive big trucks and lot'sa people have cattleguards on the front of their big trucks. Is a Camry a good idea? We don't have children yet. Is there a website that can give me an idea of safe vehicles? Thanks :o)

I took my 98 Buick (~50,000 miles) in to the shop because the service engine light was on. The computer said it was the catalytic converters. I had those changed for a reasonable price, but the guy said that the struts need to be changed as well. I don't think the struts have been changed before (my grandparents had the car for the first 30,000 miles). The quote was $289.95, which is a lot of money for me, so if I don't really need to pay that, I'd rather not. It kind of seemed like the mechanic was just trying to find more stuff to charge me for.

I took the car in to the dealer not too long ago and they found some other stuff wrong (at even higher prices), but they didn't say anything about the shocks/struts. So, what's the deal? Are they just trying to rip me off because I don't know anything about cars?

In Nov I had the catalytic converters replaced on my 98 Buick. The service engine light came on in Feb. I took it to the dealer. They said the converters need to be replaced (no prob, I have the warranty for them). They also said that the Fuel Pressure Regulator and the Lower Intake are leaking. The FPR would cost $264 to fix, and the intake would be $1,150. They charge $150/hour just for labor, and say the lower intake will take 6 hours.

Is this a bunch of BS? How soon do I need to get this stuff fixed? The local place I've had stuff done before doesn't do that kind of stuff, so I don't know how much it would be at a mechanic that isn't the dealer. Any ideas on what parts and labor should be? (I'm in Chicago)

Thanks very much in advance.

There isn't any oil in the water or water in the oil and the car hasn't overheated, but there are little bubbles in the water every 5/10 seconds when the engine is running. Also there is an oil leak from the top of the engine

My fiance had the cadillac converter cut from under his truck, it's something that has been happening in our area for months. They are sold to scrap yards for money.
It was cut out where he works, in the parking lot!!! I couldn't believe anyone would do that. Is there anyway we could prevent this from happening again???

I have a 2001 Ford Taurus with 85,000 miles on it. It has started to miss, run rough, hiccup or stall (take your pick).This only happens when started and sometimes while driving at low speeds (under 20 mph). Most of the time this happens when the engine is cold. I have changed the fuel filter, spark plugs, wires, air control motor, replaced a cracked vaccum hose, an air hose (air intake assembly) and had the throttle body and injectors cleaned with Seafoam. Any suggestions as to what the problem might be?

I take great care to drive always at or below the speed limit regardless of traffic conditions. By acting as a rolling traffic block I feel that I am contributing to road safety by reducing the number of people who drive too fast. Please answer in detail and list your reasons for your opinion. Beware of one word or derogatory answers they will not be popular.

He broke the red light and hit a Merzidez. Her insurance agreed to pay for everything. Will her premium go up and how much? He was not listed on the policy, because they wanted to save money. If the insurance pays, why should we pay additional cost to add somebody on the policy?
