I currently have a ford fusion 06. I had it since last May and I owe like 17,000 still and the trade value is like 14,000. I have bad credit about 500 score and the fusion is co-signed. Is it possible to trade in my car for a 25,000 truck with my credit?

My friend says putting motor oil in gas tank will ruin the engine i think a valve grinding compound will be the worst. Neither of us feel safe testing these ideas, so i was wondering if any mechanic knew the answer??

i own a 97' cadillac catera with 80,000 miles. the oil pressure light goes off and it tends to eat oil. the dip stick isnt milky or light brown, the oil looks like regular oil. i took it to the shop to see why the pressure light goes off and they said it wasnt the sensor and i may need an oil pump. i told them i was going to get a 2nd opinion and he said it could still be my sensor. i was mad, so i left. when i took it home that day, my car started smoking from under the hood. all the antifreeze was gone. i believe my antifreeze is leaking, i put cardboard under my car and i have a leak. my car doesnt have white smoke from the tail pipe, it only smokes a little if it is cold outside then when it warms up its fine. some think it a head gasket, but im not sure. i was also told that my car has a horrible engine and that i should sell it as soon as possible. what should i do!?

Does anyone have a 96-98 dodge neon SOHC, AT parts car? If so I need the main engine wiring harness; I cant seem to find one anywhere. I have looked on eBay and such and the local scrap yards don't have one. I am getting pretty desperate. Thanks!!

I have a question and i thought it would be easier just to get input from the pilots on here. I'm thinking about building my own plane and everything but I was just wondering what it takes to get a license to fly it if i do build something like that. I'm really good on the FS2004 game.

I have a Honda Prelude Si. It used to get good gas mileage (30+ MPG), but within the past four months the mileage has plummeted to <25 mpg. I can use 1/4 of a tank to go 30 miles!

This sucks big time! Any suggestions as to what might be causing it? And no, I don't have a leak in my gas tank either. And no, it's not being siphoned. I can see the gas gauge move while I'm driving.

My struts are practically dead and I need to get them replaced. The places I am going to are telling me that it is going to cost about 600 - $650. Is this a little inflated? I feel like it should be a lot less than that.

I have a 2003 Dodge Neon SXT 2.0L

Let me know what you think, thanks.

I know tail fins went out with the batmobile; but was there any attempt to actually make them functional (like an airplane rudder) to try to improve handling?

I know small wheels on a car look dorky; but do they really make a difference in performance or handling (other than ground clearance). Assuming same with and profile, would a 12" rim really be a disadvantage over a 15"?

Does anyone have any parts for these bikes? I am rebuilding the engine and need a bottom end gasket kit, maybe a big bore kit, rings, and possibly new valves. Thanks!!
