To save time (and money) cooking at home, when you leave work, could you put some food on the engine block, so it would be cooked by the time you got home. Has anyone tried it?

I am thinking of switching to Esurance, it's about $25 a month cheaper than my current insurance. Anyone have any experience or knowledge of Esurance? How hard is it to switch?

How can one tell when they go to buy a boat that has been used in salt water that they should buy it in the first place? Esp. when you want to only use it in fresh? Is that a chance worth taking. I am looking at a Sea Ray 220 Sundeck that is a 2005 so not an old boat at least...

I went wheeling in pismo with my truck and now when I'm moving foward and turn the wheels there is a popping noise in the front end. I don't think it is bearings or hubs. It almost sounds like something is binding up then releasing. It is a low steel popping noise, not like tire rubbage or something like that. I am semi mechanically inclined, is there any self tests i should do, or just take it to a mechanic and have him diagnos the problem?

I have a 2001 dodge durango. I have upgraded the airfilter and the exhaust(both of which give a beautiful sound to the truck). These options should have given better gas mileage but i dont see it. It is properly taken care of, ..oil changes, ect..ect.. Any other ideas?

I have a 2002 VW Jetta TDI w/ manual transmission. When I go over bumps or go around corners, my car creaks/groans. I guess this is suspension damage, but it was recently re-aligned about a month ago and they checked for suspension damage and said they didn't find any. I also had new tires put on recently and they didn't tell me anything was wrong. However, the noises concern me and I don't know what they mean. The car does not pull either direction, it doesn't make any noises that sound like mechanical problems, just the creaks and groans. It doesn't even do it every time, either, just sometimes. Our roads are very bad here. I am having someone look at it next week, but I wonder a few things: 1) Am I making a big deal out of nothing? 2) Could this be a sign of something that is making the car unsafe to drive/ride in? 3) If it is suspension damage, how much should I expect to pay for repairs? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

My best friend's husband just died of cancer. He leased a 2006 Dodge Ram truck. It had less than 10,000 miles on it. She received a letter stating that she owed about $12k on it. She found out today that the truck was sold for $3000, a lot less than what it was worth. The $12k is the difference they're saying she owes. Can she dispute the fact that it was sold far less than what it could have gone for? I'm trying my best to help her. She is a complete mess and is in a financial downfall due to the death of her husband.

Seems to me it would be a seller. A pickup is nice but not a practical as a van.
The best you can do in a pickup (if you have an 8' bed) is 8'. unless you let it hang out over the tailgate.
In a van you can slide things all the way up to the engine cover - close the doors and go!
Everything stays dry and clean (as in long pieces of lumber -- 10 to 12 footers) Or as in drywall or vinear plywood.
I think this would be very practical. I know I'd buy one.

We ordered a car from Toyota and have the option to trade in our Jetta to Toyota. However, we are also considering taking the Jetta to Carmax to sell. Assuming that both places offer the same amount, my question is whether or not there are additional taxes or something on a car that you sell to carmax if you are just going to walk away with the money? Do you save anything by trading in at the dealership?

Why is it that pickup trucks are more expensive then cars or similar in price to suv’s? It is mostly open space back there, which means less parts and material to go into the truck.

Do they break down less, engines last longer? Or is it just cause they can haul stuff?
