If I am going out of town, I just start the car and then drive off with very little warm up; just let it run 15-20 seconds to let the oil reach the valves and go on down the road without exceeding maybe 2,800-3,000 RPM until the engine reaches normal operating temperature.

My problem is, I live 1.3 miles from work. Even in the summer time, the temperature needle has barely nudged up off the pin by the time I arrive. I drive home at lunch time, back again and then home at the end of the day. I do this 4 days a week.

I will generally drive somewhere else 2-3 times a week, meaning I drive long enough to at least warm up the engine a couple of times and I probably drive at least 15-20-30 miles out of town another time.

I am concerned about the long-term impact of driving so much without warming up the engine. Am I doing any harm? Is there any way to prevent this or at least minimize the impact of this type of driving?

I am driving a 2007 Subaru with a 6-cylinder engine.

I have a 2003 Toyota Tundra with a 6 disk CD player, factory stereo. I have all 6 CDs in and "ERROR" now appears on the screen, the cds won't play, and will not eject. I have had this problem for 2 days and have not been able to get them to do anything. I don't see a pin hole anywhere to "eject" the disks. Any ideas? Is my stereo broken?

I went to start my car it struggled to start. Drove it to where I needed to go and when I went to start it again a few minutes later, nothing. I turned the key over and all the lights on the dash lit up and the battery connections are fine but there was no sound. No clicking or anything else. I had the alternator replaced about 5 months ago and also replace the battery with a brand new one at the same time. What could be the problem?

I am a very wealthy person,who drives a Lambo,and my son really likes it but I don't want to buy him one because he barely got his license. I want to get him a nice one but at the same time teach him responsibility. I'm willing to spend $90,000. Oh and he's 16 if that helps.

I just got a 94 explorer not long ago and the rear interior door handle was broke so I replaced it... I didn't know that the pull handle part of the door panel (the part that has the window switch in it) and the door panel itself was sappost to come off together... I just unscrewed the two screws under the door handle and pulled off that pull part... Is there a way to fix it or do i have to get a hold new door panel now?

Hello

I am looking for black shirts or T-shirts that have fire/flame designs on them.

I have shopped everywhere and clocked 15 miles on foot to get one, I failed.

Any special websites?

my car is mercedes 350sdl (turbo diesel).

this problem is really odd. I have great pickup from a red light to Go, but it is very poor from a moderate speed , say 40mph, to a high speed 60mph or above.

what is REALLY odd about it is that if I use the cruise control system to speed myself up (instead of pushing the gas pedal), the pickup seems good.

For example I was on the highway last night doing about 55mph, I wanted to accelerate to around 75 so I push down - nothing happens ... I floor it - nothing happens really, it does eventually speed up but it is verrry slow and there was no pickup at all.

It seems like the engine is not getting enough power?? But why would it be good at low speeds...

my mechanic is going to test drive it tomorrow so hopefully he will figure it out.

when I go to have "maintenance" done at a service station , what do I ask for if I want the engine/acceleration completely checked / gaskets make sure there are no cracks etc.
Thanks in advance.
