Cars & Transportation - 11 March 2007

ok this is a really funny story. one night i was have a party in my basement w/o my parents knowing. some friends wanted a ride home so i said i would. i park my car on a fairly steep driveway near my parnets bedroom window. idecided i would not start my car( risk waking them up) but instead just shif the car in to neutral and roll down the driveway, then start it in the street( away from my parents window). well ishifted into neutral but then realized my brakes and steering wheel wouldnt work!!! i ended up running into my basketball hoop, knocking it over. me nad my friends put the hoop back up, there was damage to the hoop but not my car, i gave my friends a ride home and when i got back my parents never even woke up!!! should of just started it by there window i guess. well anyways my friends accused me of being drunk and not knowing how to drive, but i told them i could steer or use the brakes. so if u dont start ur car is it true that ur steering and brakes wont work?

I am thinking of using 50% Diesel and 50% Veg Oli in my JTD. I am told this can be done with normal diesels. Can this be done with my Alfa JTD?

If you can tell me how it's done I'll choose your answer as best and you'll score a few points. I've already tried disconnecting and then reconnecting the Negative clamp from its respective Negative battery terminal; the light still comes on. What do I try next? The car runs well, btw.

I'm planning on buying a mini-van but not an expenisive one. The highest I'm looking to spend is like $7000 so it's gonna have to be a used one. What's the best one I should buy? I was thinking of a Kia Sedona.... maybe like 2002... Does anybody have any ideas?

1. I was rear ended by some chick in a BMW, I have a 95 Crown Vic in poor (Cosmectic) condition, but it drives fine. She skuffed up my bumber and put a crack in the light. I went to get an estimate (Because she wanted to pay out of pocket because she is a Multimillion dollar producer realestate agent) I said fine, the damages came up to 900 dollars. then her husband said for her to go through her insurance. Problem is my car has a salvage title... ( I dont know what difference what makes...)

Now... I dont want my car fixed, it is not worth fixing, are they going to give me a check?


2. I went to the hospital the night after the accident with neck and head injuries but it is all muscle related so i have two perscription and im basically drugged up til the pain goes away... are they going to pay me for that too? Am I going to receive a check for pain and suffering or something?

.... She has Progressive Insurance, and I dont have insurance... how does that work??

Thanks!!!!

This is one the mechanic can't answer. This is the 2nd winter now that when I leave my Tracker sit for 4 or more hours and then start it up and go a couple of hundred feet and get the speed up to at least 25 mph - the brakes are EXTREMELY hard to push down. Then, after that the brakes work just fine. It seems that this does NOT do this in nice,warmer weather. I had taken it to a repair shop and they could not find anything wrong. How can this 'minor' problem be solved?

I just got back from an out of state job. My old car - 92 Corolla - hasn't been started since I left last summer. Any precautions or steps I should take before starting it up again?

I say, what an absolutely tip top machine the Harley Davidson is. By jove, those Americans really know how to be build motorcycles don't they. I had a spiffing afternoon riding through the estate on my Porsche V-ROD, golly, what fun it was! All my pals have them.Wiffy likes to ride his out on a sunday afternoon and watch all the jealous proletariat drooling over his iron horse. Soggy sometimes comes out with me for a ride, an afternoon spent putt-putting through the Downs is absolutely top hole.Soggy and i have got all the gear your know, oh yes, my butler says we look "really mean" when we're all togged up in our H-D gear. Anyway,TTFN, i must go and kill a few foxes (on the QT of course), toodle pip,what! Lord Halfwit
PS-Chill out!!..surely the Harley dealership doesn't take your sense of humour as well as your life savings? :-)

i'm not sure what's going on with ford, but everywhere i go, i see the new explorers, 500's, lots of fusions, mustangs, f-series everywhere, and some expeditions. so does anybody know as a fact if they are doing better in the market than before?

Hi, my reverse lights arent working on my tigra. I am certain it is the switch on the gearbox that has something to do with it. Trouble is, i cant seem to find this switch. Can anyone tell me where abouts on the gearbox it is? Thanks
