I have a Honda Accord and I have lost the key fob. I know that I can set the alarm on it without the key fob. I have done it so many times on accident. What do I need to do to set it in this fashion purposely?

Ok, ESC will help with sliding. How efficient is traction control instead of AWD? My previous car was a Toyota Supra, with rear wheel drive. which would get stuck in a few inches of snow and had virtually no traction. So, my awd SVX has been a dream in the winter. My main concern with a new vehicle is not getting stuck and not sliding. Thanks for the input.

We had a 1993 Saturn a couple of years ago. It was excellent on gas (about 500 miles on full), had enough room for my kids, and drove awesome.
Problem: Started burning oil, the oil started leaking out of the valve cover, the O2 went out, and ultimately died for good, even despite our best efforts to save it.
My husband speaks of the car as a curse...he changed the valve cover two times, the gasket 6 times....you get the picture. He was not impressed.
I want to get a Saturn again because everything we have driven since then has not measured up to the ride and the gas consumption. He refuses to get tangled in another one...
If you know of a reliable one with good reviews, it would help my case...
Absolutely nothing with DOHC as he believes this is the problem...
Also, if there is really no such thing as a good Saturn, maybe you could reccomend a vehicle with good gas mileage, nice ride etc that does not cost too much...

I was driving on a single carriage road, and notice a police car on the other side of the road, as I turned into my street and was parked in my residential parking bay, I suddenly see a police car park infront of me. The officer approached me and asked me if the car was mine, of which I replied yes, and subsequently told me he had noticed one of my break light was not working and that was why he had followed me. He requested for my driving licence of which I handed over, and he then said he would like to examine my tires in my parking bay. He did so and noticed that one of them was below the regulation and said he was going to give me a ticket and have my licence endorsed for that reason. This this a fear thing to do? Is it legitimate to give a ticket in my residential parking bay, which is not a public road. Although he might have seen me pass, has he got the right to follow me home and examine my car. The identity of the car has been established with all paper work required seen.

We have a 1992 Ford Explorer.
It has a V-6 in it if that matters, but here is my question.
Since we got it, if we towed anything, even a little trailor, it would surge from cool to hot and die. At one point, when stopped after doing this, the antifreeze was just blowing every wich way out of the overflow tank.
My husband thinks that the heads are warped because of it getting so hot, but he is being second guessed by his brother saying that the Explorer is worthless and he is offering to take it off of our hands.
I do not trust my brother in law any further than I can toss him when it comes to cars as he is always out to make a profit...
What could be wrong with the Explorer to be causing this and is it reletively cheap to fix?
**As of the last time it was run a couple weeks ago, the exhaust was burning water and letting it out through the tail pipe. There are no "leaks" anywhere in the hoses...
Please help.

Earlier I was thinking of buying Acura Integra, but now I am also considering Audi A4.
Is it a good idea to buy a used Audi A4 with 75000 miles or so on it?
Does the repair/maintenance cost more than Lexus?
Overall, which one's a smart choice to go with?

Thanks to everyone who left their suggestions
