Cars & Transportation - 17 March 2007

Okay so I live in an apartment and they just plowed the parking lot, but I don't have a shovel to get out. I have to get the snow off my car and get the snow from around my tires. The best I have come up with is using a bucket. Is this best way to get the snow since I don't have a shovel or is there another innovative way?

Every time I press on the brake pedal, turn on the lights, or turn on the turn signal all of the lights and the radio flicker off for a split second and then turn on as usual as if nothing had happened. Also, I have to put in a new battery about every 6 months because it is dead. This problem is driving me up the wall!
Thanks in advance to anyone who could help me diagnose and find the problem!

I slid on the ice and went into the other lane and hit a van head on, then another car hit me from behind. My car had to be towed and the back wheel is messed up so it is not drivable. I have a 2006 mercury mariner and the frame might be dented. Does this mean my car will have problems forever? The front isn't badly damaged and that and the bumper will be replaced, but since you can't replace the frame how do they fix that? They towed it to a place thats closed until tuesday so i'm dying to know what is going to happen.

WTF people.
What is the fascination with how fast your bike will go???
I bought mine so I could enjoy riding, not to see if I could go 150 mph while doing a reverse wheelie at a stop light.
If you're that interested in setting a land speed record, go buy an jet engine bike and take it to the salt flats and see how fast you can go. Don't jeopardize my life on the streets.
If you don't make it on the salt flats then I guess that's God's way of weeding out the idiots of the world.

I saw on the television that in Germany there may be speed limits set on the Autobahn. What are the accident rates like with no speed limit compared to the motorway limits in the UK. Are there more or less?

Last night I arrived home to find a car blocking half of my driveway. I wasn't able to park it inside. Would I have to call a tow-truck? Free of charge for me, right? or who would I have to call?

i got into an accident on 1/17.. 2 months ago as of today... and my car got totalled. i was not at fault, but 3 vehicles invovled in the accident.. myself and another were totaled.. the guy responsible just got the bed of his truck banged up... i still have no car yet, the insurance companies have been taking their sweet time on getting the settlement completed.. i just found out that i have to wait for the 3rd ins. company to get the other vehicle that was totaled to go through salvage auction before they can inform the insurance of the one at fault to get back w/ me on my money.. is 2 months too long to wait? should i try to do something from my end? or just wait for it to come when it comes? it is kind of hard to get to work sometimes, been staying w/ my parents for rides and using their vehicles when they allow me to... any advice.. professional if any?

As you know gas prices are outrageous.. and I'm only 16 years old so I kinda want to spend the money I earn in different ways.

I have a Mercedes-Benz c230 kompressor and it takes premium gas.

I was wondering if it would be ok if I put unleaded instead of premium in it..

I have done it once before and it just smelled a lot like gas but that's it. I didn't hear anything unusual and my car didn't act up.

I didn't see any gas leaking out anywhere or anything so I think I'm alright..

but is this ok to use unleaded if I can withstand the smell of gas? lol

My mother has a 2004 Kia Spectra. Lately it has been making weird noises that appear to be coming from the passenger side front wheel. The sound is kind of a soft clunking. She believes it could be the strut. Steering is a tiny bit off, it does not want to turn as easy as it once did. What do I do? Could it be the strut or something else.
