I recently stumbled across, in my garage, an older model Whistler detector, a Model 1540. I don't need the "cutting edge" technology in radar detection equipment, yet I wonder if this unit still provide a modicum of protection...I know the 1540, e.g., has X, K, Ka and laser/VG2 capability but I know it's close to 10 yrs old. Should I feel comfortable using this older detector? Thnx

Ok, the previous owner didn't know how to take car of cars, at all. Good thing I never Directly met the man myself. Its and 84 Monte Carlo with a 229 V6. The transmission is leaking terrible. I figure the first thing I should try and replace is the gasket on the pan. what would be the next easiest thing to try if that doesn't work? If it is too hard I am gonna just replace the whole thing.

It was the other driver's fault. He was insured, and his insurance company paid me money for my car. It was totalled. But I cannot afford another car with the payment that I received. Will I get more to cover the costs of another car?

I have heard that you can knock out the baffles of stock mufflers to increase or improve the sound. Can this be done and are there any problems or recommendations if doing that.

I HAVE A 2003 OLDS ALERO THAT THERE IS A NOISE COMMING FROM THE FRONT END. THE BRAKES ARE GOOD, AND THE TIRES ARE GOOD. THE NOISE HAPPENS MOST WHEN I TURN THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE LEFT. GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY IT SOUNDS LIKE THE TIRES ARE MAKING A WINEING NOISE. IF I JURK THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE LEFT YOU HERE A DIFFERENT PITCH TO THE SOUND. ITS NOT REALLY A GRINDING NOISE, IT DOES NOT HAPPEN WHEN I TURN TO THE RIGHT. THIS CAR HAS 49,000 MILES ON IT. DOES IT HAVE WHEEL BARRINGS THAT REQUIRE GREASING?THE OTHER QUESTION IS ON A 2004 DODGE STRATUS, 4CYL. THIS CAR HAS 45,000 MILES ON IT. AT A STOP AFTER ITS WARMED UP WHEN YOU START TO GO IT HESITATES, AND WHEN SITTING AT A STOP WITH YOUR FOOT ON THE BRAKE IT TRIES TO MOVE SLIGHTLY. ALSO WHEN GOING UP AN INCLINE AT A STEADY SPEED THE TRANSMISSION JERKS. IF YOU BACK OF THE GAS AND SLOWLY GIVE IT GAS ITS OK. BUT IT MAY DO IT AGAIN, YOU JUST HAVE TO PLAY WITH THE GAS PEDDLE.

When you sell your own car, how do you handle test drives - go with them, take their license, do nothing, dont allow them. Granted they might leave their old crappy/stolen car with you. Then again, I dont want to go on a ride with some weirdo.

Does anyone know of any cheap companies (mainly ones that charge less than 10.00/day for an underage (18-24) driver? The only one I heard of is Fox rental cars. But I heard alot of complaints from them. I made a reservation with them but I want a backup just in case. Thanks

one of my co-workers poured gasoline into a 5 gallon portable diesel tank that we use in case of any of our machines run out of diesel on the golf course. now the diesel tank was empty at the time he poured gasoline into it. but the other day i poured some of it into a glass just to look at it and now it has a pink shade to it(not like diesel red)..im just wondering if that gas is okay to use in our gas based machinery or if i should just get rid of it. also what is the best way to rid of it, afterall its not something you can just pour down a drain

Never any problems, had the car since new with low mileage (just surpassed 50k, but for my last oil change i had them put in a synthetic blend. Since then, my check engine comes and goes intermittently.

mostly it stays on, but it will go off for a day or two then come back on for a week or so.

I know, i know(!) there are many many reasons why this light comes on, but anyone have think there might be a correlation?

I have an 84 Monte Carlo, with a 229 v6. Could I put a 4L60E in it? The old Trans was positively neglected by the previous owner, and I'd rather just get a new trans then try and repair it.
