Cars & Transportation - 6 March 2007

but here goes. Can someone tell why it is when a mum is pushing a childs buggy that she nearly always pushes the buggy with baby in it out onto the road first instead of turning the buggy round and pulling. I have only ever seen two mums do this...much safer practice especially with all the lunatic drivers on the road.

Curious to know.

Dodge Caliber is supposedly a Small Crossover vehicle, and it looks like a really small SUV, but I wonder if it really is any more spacious than a Toyota Corolla. Is it safer (accident wise). Maybe Ford Escape is better... I'm looking for a medium family vehicle that is not a van and it's about the same price as a Toyota Corolla. Comments please.

I drive a 1986 Chevy Monte Carlo with 61,000 miles and it drives decently well. I was wondering if anyone can help me out and give me some tips on repairs and maintenance that won't cost a fortune so that I can keep the car alive for a while. Any little tips would be helpful since I don't know the first thing about car maintenance.

I'm looking for a Sunbeam Tiger. Year is not critical, but must be in "good" or better condition. Won't pay an arm and a leg. Looking for a nice weekend driver, not a show car.

4L 6cyl auto transmission 1992 Explorer has always started on first try with no need for accelerator pedal, and ran smooth at about 1000RPM while warming up, around 650 RPM in Park/Neutral/or in gear with brakes on.

Suddenly, it needs gas pedal to stay running without bucking - RPM drops to less than 500, charge guage dips at same time to less than 12 V. Must put it in neutral and give gas at stoplights. Runs fine while moving. This happened immediately after I sprayed Teflon Silicon lubricant in ignition switch, and (more importantly?) left the ignition switch in "On" position without engine running for about 25 minutes. Also new tank of gas 20 miles earlier.

Does something electrical burn up or overheat when you leave it switched on? I have tested it for 5 miles at city speeds but I don't want to get stuck on the Interstate trying to "burn it off" as one friend suggested. Battery seems strong, charge guage returns to 14+ volts when it is running at or above 1000 RPM. THX!

I will be running one amp at 1000 watts rms and the other at 70 x 4 rms. I currently have my 70 x 4 amp and a 350 x 1 amp and my lights dim pretty good when the bass hits. I have a 2003 Dodge Neon SXT which comes with an 85 amp alt stock. What do you suggest? I plan on upgrading the big 3 with 0 gauge most likely.

in cohoots on making such lousy (paper-like) cars?

Seriously, I read that it's costing insurance companies a ton of money to fix little "fender benders" but fenders didn't bend quite so easily 20 years ago for those who remembered the big steel bumpers...I mean that is what they were intended for, to protect your car...and YOU!!

The insurance companies can whine, but they charge you a fortune for the repairs...and the auto industries make a lot of money on "parts". So I think it's all a money making scam but I guess we the consumers don't whine about it and are happy to give away our money as always.

Thoughts?

My car will run but when I give it gas it cuts out at 2000-2300 rpms. It doesn't stall it just dogs out. Fuel filter maybe?

A vehicle with out-of-state plates has been parking down the street for nearly 2 years now and I noticed that the registration tags have been updated. Person is obviously evading my state's registration process, smog check laws and (probably) insurance requirements. The rules in my state say that a vehicle brought in from another state must be re-registered in 20 days. Who does one report something like this to? The police? DMV of both states?
