Plan to pay hybrid car. It appears replacing batteries is a serious expense. Is this true? How long do they last? Are there after market batteries or other way to reduce expense?

Then I noticed steam coming from my engine hood but when I turn on the AC, it goes away.
I have a 97 Honda Accord 6 cycl. One more thing, I added straight antifreeze to the radiator - no water. Any advice on what could be wrong? Does this sound expensive?

I'm asking this here instead of in the Selling category because I think that's too generic.

I am selling my 98 Magna. I had it lowered to about 26" when I bought it. My question is, should I "unlower" it or leave it as is? I'm concerned that the lowering kit will deter buyers - but my husband thinks we should let them spend the money to raise it back up.

I do have all the original parts so that won't be an issue.

What do you think - leave it as is and wait for another shortie to come along, or spend (how much???) to put it back to its original state?

Today I was walking with my two small children along a narrow road when this car appearred from nowhere and shot infront of us into a car dealership
my children were walking and she just missed them by yards
When she stopped and finnally got out of the car I told her that she shuold have driven more carefully and given way to us as we were walking past
I was always taught to give way to peadestrians at all times
All she could do was shout saying the children shouldnt have been playing by the cars ( which were parked on the pavement.
Would you put in a complaint to the dealership
asking them to have more respect for those useing the footpath and are they within the law to park their cars on the pavement
my children are only 4 & 6
any thoughts ?

Are there any laws applying to the guarantee that a garage must give for the work that they carry out? Have you any useful links about this matter?

Yesterday my service engine light came on....I have approximately 62,000 miles on this car and everything seems to running fine, no problems whatsover. I have checked all of the obvious things including transaxle fluid, all to no avail. Before I sink a ton of money into having a garage diagnos this problem does anyone have any suggestions or know of any problems associated with this car concerning the light???

I am having some problems with my stupid car, and I keep getting the runaround on what it wrong with it.
I barely have brakes. When I stop, I slide. I thought it was my tires (they were in BAD shape), so I got new ones. I was told it was my ABS box under the hood, it needed to be bled. So I did that. I still slide and the brakes go to the floor when I am stopped. I have to put it in park so I don't hit the person in front of me. What could be wrong.
On to the next dilemma. Something is eating at my tires. I go through tires within a month. Late last year the control arm broke, and it was fixed. Since then, something is tearing up the inner side of the tires. Auto Zone said it was the stabilizer bar..that the bolts were wore down and needed to be replaced. I don't even know where to start in replacing those. I think a shock might need to be replaced, but would that do that to both sides of my tires.... Please help me.

I called the police station to find out and they said if their is any law it is a state law and referd me to the states website where I could not find anything at all on the topic. How about an electric one?

When your car insurance expires are you no longer covered or do insurance companies keep the policy going until you cancel the cover?

i need to get a 4 ga. wire from the battery to under the back seat for a audio system, I plan to do all the work myself, but the part that makes me most nervous is drilling through something unintentionally, is there a specific location on the firewall that is safe that would come out say near the right front speaker housing somewhere? specific dimensions would be the cats meow. I am not mechanically inclinded, but i know stereos.

Hi
My S40 is suddenly behaving really strangely! It keeps cutting off every time I go into the first gear - meaning every time i have to make a turn, or at the roundabout or at a traffic light - really annooying. And it wouldn't start if I don't give it a bit of gas. Took it to the shop twice - they hooked it to the computer and could find nothing! Help!
What can it be?

Hello All!
I was hoping you could resolve a little disagreement for me. I own a 1971 ford LTD. It has a 351 engine and needs a paint job and new carborater. All of the crome has been taken off and is stored in the trunk. It is a two door with black interior, the orignial color is mint green. Its a great project car that would take minimum effort to refinish. My dad thinks its worth about $2500 to $2200, I disagree. What would you guys pay for a car like this??? I want it out of my life but its not selling at my dads price.

Ok my daily driver is a 1993 Suburban 3/4 ton 4x4. It has 293,000 miles. My oil pressure is fine when I start it but after about 10 minutes it runs very low. I am going to replace the pump simply because, even though it might not be the main problem, I know it probably needs it anyway. Any suggestions would be great. Do I just need to remove the oil pan, or is there more to it? Thanks

I just need some really cheap auto insurance for the next 6 months......

The cheapest I've found is ESurance but I've heard that they're known to drop you for absolutely no reason? I don't care about the whole "they take forever to get back to you" and stuff I just don't wanna randomly be dropped, being that it's only for 6 months....... anyone know anything about esurance?

Thanks:)

Why not stop at the total or slow down 5 cents before? Why 40 cents? Is it nothing more than hopes that some impatient people will say F it and leave, giving them more profit or is there a legit reason?

My 15 year old son just got his permit (God help Me). I don't want to ask my insurance agency because I'm afraid my prices may now skyrocket! My insurance company has both of my sons listed on my policy as "non drivers" because the last time I renewed neither one of them was old enough. Do I have to add him to the policy? What if I don't and he gets into an accident?
