Alright, I'm sure that part of the reason is because it is freezing here. We're talking wind chills of 10-20 below 0. But every time I press the gas pedal, not the brake, on my car, there is a whistling noise. What could it be?

I charged the battery in the car in the garage then left it overnight. when i went to start it the next day, the battery was dead again. the battery is only 2 weeks old so i don't think that's it. i thought it may be the alternator but my lights and everything work fine and the battery gauge shows charge so i'm baffled. the first time this happened i stopped to get gas and turned my car off, pumped the gas, then the car wouldn't start without a jump. if anyone has any advise i sure appreciate it.

I need hand controls for the brake/accelerator installed on a 2001 Dodge Caravan. I have the push/pull hand controls from a 2000 Caravan that was in an accident, so it would just need to be bolted on. The place that originally installed the controller said that it would take 4-5 hours at $108/hour. I live in the Delaware Valley area of Pennsylvania.

I took my driving test yesterday. I was pretty excited, and everything was going well. First, we checked that I knew all the controls. Then, I parked between some cones without hitting them, and backed out without hitting them. Then, we took it to the street. Blah blah, follow directions (I made a mistake of not slowing down and looking both ways before crossing an unmarked railroad track...? Weird.) But I didn't fail for that. So we come to a four-way intersection, and I'm supposed to turn left. The light is green, and I pull behind this big SUV. I look left, then right, and see nothing coming, and the SUV goes. Still seeing nothing, I proceeded.. But made the mistake of not stopping anyway, because I was supposed to look for oncoming traffic straight forward.. So I failed. I don't want to fail it the second time, so what can I do to make sure nothing goes wrong on my next test?

Sometimes when I turn the key over it just makes a winding sound. So I have to let off and turn it again and it will finally turn the engine over and start. Anybody know?

I am looking at buying a new car and the sales lady has told me about a new form of 'protection' for the car. It is called Complete Care package and its done by a company called Wax Guard (www.waxguard.com.au) I was just wondering if anybody has had this done to there car and if it was worth the $2500 they charge for it.

I haven't changed my spark plugs in a while. Three of them are behind the engine in an akward position and the boots wouldn't come out. I didn't want to pull too hard because I didn't want to rip the wire. I have a 1999 Monte Carlo.

Why do you think drivers cross over that line and you have to try to avoid them by getting over. They do not stay on their side of the road. So dangerous. Other than being drunk why do they do it. So many people have been killed because of this

Back again, I purchased a Kawasaki Vulcan 900 two months ago brand new. I added the extended warranty a $385 value. Since I'm really closed to the 600 miles I called my local dealer for the first maintanance svc. The guy told me that it would cost me $170.00 to do the oil and filer and if adjustments are need then they will adjust. I'm not really sure about the price but to me thats a lot of money basicly for an oil and filter change.

Today is the last day that I can cancell the extended warraty (60 days). I was reading the terms on the contract and it says that if the bike is not properly maintain at the dealer the warranty would be voided. I can do oil and filter change with no problem. So my question is... Is it really worth it to have the extended warranty when they charge so much for reg. maintance? The bike automaticly comes with a 1yr warranty.

Thanks for your advise!

My local Valvoline Instant Oil Change told me that I should get their "3-point" cleaning which is all three treatments you see here: http://www.vioc.com/pages/services/svc_fuel.asp . I saw a car getting it done and it was putting out thick white smoke, which the guy told me was all the crud getting cleaned up.

Is it worth $50? Does it really improve horsepower and gas mileage? I'm currently driving a 1997 Ford Ranger that usually gets 20-21 miles per gallon.
