Neighbor hoards all the street parking on my block. He also allows all his friends, relatives & coworkers to park overnight. I'm often left with no choice but to park in front of my own driveway. Talking to him only makes matters worse. What can I do?

The car has not been used for a while, new battery and the headlights work but nothing else will come on. No interier lights, no radio, nothing happens when you turn the key.

Where is the coin holder in this car? Is there one? Where is everyone putting their change. I traded in a Ford Explorer that had tons of compartments. The ash tray in the Highlander is too small so guess it has to be the cup holder for coins? Any ideas very much appreciated. Maybe there is something or an accessory that can be bought that would sit down inside the cup holder? This is my only disappointment about the Highlander is that it is so much smaller than my explorer. Only time will tell for me...

It has just started recently, the steering is hard to turn and jerky and the wheel does not turn back smoothly, it almost feels like it won't turn back even though it always does.

I have a 98 Ford Mustang on which the blower moter for the AC and heater stopped working. Could it be a fuse or a relay switch that I could fix or is this something that I will have to take to the dealer and spend an arm and a leg on? Where in the engine compartment would the fuse or relay switch be located?

thanks

Dec 98 I bought a car at a buy here, pay here place,stupid of me. I was expecting a child in a few weeks and needed a car. What I didn't know is that the car I bought was not going to pass inspection in my state. I lived in PA at the time and car was inspected in NY. In April of 99,I was still trying to get paperwork for car to actually have it inspected in PA. Had been driving on a temp reg sticker. PA mech wouldn't pass it, said the brakes were rusted thru and there was no way that this happened in such a short space of time. I tried to return the car and was asked what I was complaining about cuz the car lasted for 4 mths. I can no longer drive car so I told them to take it. Now I owe the difference. They get a pmt when they garnish my wages. It has been a year since last pmt as I have new emp. Now I have received a letter from a local law firm subpeopning my finacial info and that they will be taking my tax return. Do I have any rights at all?

My accord was stolen and found after 2 months, stripped, missing hood, glove box, wheels & tires, front bumper, fender, broken ignition, liability coverage=$0 coverage... A total mess but worse was to come. I was NOT notified of the recovery at all and until I called to find out , next thing I knew was the car had been in the towing company for 46 days and now they want $1500 for babysitting it. The PD told me I can get reimbursement for the $1500 but I kind of doubt it and even if I do get it, what am I going to do with the car? I don't have that much money up front for this.
My question is... if I don't want this car anymore... will I get into trouble(lawsuit) for not paying the tow company? They said they will let the collecting company to get the money from me but what if I don't have that money? Does anyone ever encountered this before?? I'm desparate and I have a final in 2 days... Oh, crap.
I want to thank you all for any input in advance. Appreciate it.

Well, i'm about to buy my first car (highschool) and am torn between what i really want (Audi) and a small SUV (Passport).... Basically i would be buying an ATV soon to go riding with my friend in the Mountains (WA state) which is the only reason i'd get an SUV (light weight towing)...

But I thought i'd ask if any one knew if an Audi 90 Quattro could tow a Quad, or maybe just a dirtbike? (Can you even get a hitch for an Audi?)

It'd be ~1994 Quattro (4WD) with a 2.8L 172 hp, V6 engine... (5sp Manual)

I have a 1998 FWD eclipse with 16" rims. Two tires are 225/50/16's and the other two are 205/45/16's. Since I have FWD would I get more traction and power with the bigger tires on front? Or would that disrupt the car's performance and make it look really awkward? Thanks.

I recently attempted to lower my 93 civic by putting springs on it and now it's really bouncy and annoying. Does anyone know a better idea to lower your vehicle without it bouncing and bottoming out at every bump in the road? Something that won't break the bank either?

Okay like I said I own a 1971 Kawasaki F7 175 and the throttle cable looks to be broken but about halfway down it there is a plastic cover that is broke off. The cable is there I can see it but the cable tip is still on it and I can see the end that goes all the way to the carburator and it has a cable tip still on it. It almost looks like the cable is supposed to be in two parts. But if you could understand any of this I would really appreciate it you could help me.
Thanks

My girlfriends daughter drives an Acura and uses high-test gas because the dealer suggested it. With the difference in cost and her high rate of travel, she could save significantly by using regular gas. Could it hurt the car? Any info or opinions on this would be appreciated....thanks.

I am going out of state and plan to rent a car. I have been driving for 25 years with an excellent driving record. Do I have to have my own Libability and Collision or just Liability in order to save money and refuse the rental agents insurance?

Hey there! I have an old 1994 Chevy Corsica and it's been literally nothing but problems since I got it in June from my grandfather. Just recently it wouldn't start for me, my father came home and really reefed on it and it started. I was told that was blocked spark plugs, got a whole new set, no problem now.

For the past 2 weeks or so, the car has been squealing. It's not very consistent though. Doesn't do one time and then the next it's awful. My grandpa thought it was the belt, then determined it wasn't. Then said maybe it was a leak in the exhaust, but after hearing it said it couldn't be. His final guess as he listened was something to do with the power steering box, but he says it makes no sense as to why it doesn't do it as the wheel is turned. It does it lightly while sitting idle and then worse as more pressure is added to the gas. Any ideas at all as to what it could be?? I just hate the sound of it and I know it's not supposed to be doing that. Thanks in advance

Since the dealer is asking $750, I would like to know if it is easy to replace the condenser and the dryer myself on a 2002 Avalon and then have the system refilled with an A/C specialist. Prices vary greatly from brand to brand and I was wondering if a Denso at $250 is much better than a Silla at $110. Thanks for your help.
