Cars & Transportation - 15 March 2007

I took off from a stop light 2 days ago and something popped, very loudly, under the car. I actually felt it and thought a tire blew out. Pulled over, checked it, nothing wrong. Drove home. Next day drove the car as usual, no problem. However, the next day I noticed that every time I turned off the car it had a sickening smell, similar to rotten eggs and burning rubber. Subara replaced the CV boot for $135 and said no trouble w/ converter, which we expected it to be. Brought it home and the God awful smell is still there. Could this be like when you have your fluids topped off and the next day you can smell some of the spilled stuff burning off? Or did Subaru screw us and we still need a catalytic converter?

does anyone know where the MLP switch on a Ford F350 is; and would this make the truck shift hard and put the engine light on? Husband is a heavy equipment mechanic, but he is stumped on this problem (his truck).

I went to the store came home and half hour later my headlights were still on. We tried turning the daytime running lights off, we tried taking the key out of the ignition, we tried taking the fuses out and putting them back in and the headlights just wont go off no matter what we tried. Does anyone know what the problem is? We have a 2005 chevy malibu. How much will it cost?

I am looking at a Volvo that is in great shape and runs good, but has 175,000 miles on it. It is a 1993 850 model. I've heard that Volvos are known to go well into the 200's to 300's. It's $2800. Do you think that it is a good buy?

I'm thinking about buying a Jetta. I really liked the car during the test drive but I was told by a relative that Jettas require a lot of expensive repairs compared to similar cars.

PLEASE DON'T ANSWER UNLESS YOU'VE OWNED A JETTA FOR AT LEAST 15 MONTHS!

So, my Dad is paying for my repairs on my car... He has never really been there for me (except financially) my entire life, but my car broke down in OH today and I live in KY, and I am stranded at a co-workers house for the night... My Dad wouldn't get me a car rental, but he is paying for my towing and repairs for my car tomorrow. I feel really bad because he says he doesn't have the money, but he has a really good job that pays good. The repairs will ONLY hopefully be 300 TOPS! I have no idea what is wrong with it, I just know my left back tire WON'T move. So, I feel really bad that he is paying for my car repairs (and he just fixed my car over the weekend, the stearing rod) my Dad always comes through financially and I am starting to feel horrible.. I ONLY ask him for money/car repairs when I REALLY need it, I am 20 living on my own. What should I do though, because I feel horrible that he is paying for everything, but I can't afford it and my car is ONLY a 2002!!! Help??

About 80% of Jettas on the road are driven by young women (mostly hot), I know this because they usually have some sort of brightly colored Hawaiian Lei hanging from their rearview.
