Cars & Transportation - 19 April 2007

car is 1991 mercedes 350sdl turbo diesel.

it runs nicely but i just noticed this the other day. When lookin at my car from the back, my exhaust pipe looked like it was hanging to the left a little bit.

I took a loo ktoday and I noticed one of the thick rubber black O - rings that hold it onto two hooks had broken completely. The right one is still in tact but I can see major cracks in it. I want to get them replaced asap.

Then I investigated a little furthur. I looked at the pipe leading from the front end of the car into the muffler. Right before it hits the muffler there is about a 2 inch diameter hole. Also, at the spot where the exhaust pipes molds onto the muffler, it is extremely rusted and corroded, and tiny holes are appearing where I can stick a paper clip into the pipe. Will this cause any problems except make my car sound louder - which it doesnt right now so what should I do? Thanks , Tyler

I live in PA and have to merge on several busy highways when I go to work. Well, when I am trying to merge, there is a yield sign. Oftentimes, there is a mass of cars coming and I can not safely merge into traffic, so I come to a complete stop until it is clear or if I can safely proceed. On several occasions now, the driver behind me starts honking his horn because I'm stopped. What do they want me to do? Merge into traffic and cause a bad accident. The speed limit on the highways is between 50-55 mph and many people speed. I'm not going to pull out in front of cars going that speed and take my chances. I guess my question is, is it okay to stop at yield signs????

Similarly, if I am driving on the highway and I see cars that want to merge, am I supposed to switch lanes for them? Many people do not look and just pull out into traffic! Are they correct to do this? I always go the speed limit, but if someone decides to merge at the last minute, it is difficult to slow down.

I was adding oil to my car and ended up spilling a decent amount of oil on my sisters car [don't ask how]. Completely forgetting that I'm suppose to put kitty litter on oil stains, I ended up rubbing it all onto the top of the trunk. Thankfully the car is black so it doesn't show up well, but it is still pretty easy to see when you get close. How can I remove the oil? Do I need to use the litter? Any help would be appreciated ASAP!

Someone told me they thought that was all made up my insurance companies to get more money. I disagree and think that boys have more accidents and more costly accidents, both in terms of lives lost and money. What do you know?

Well, to make a long story short, my timing belt for my mazda car slipped last spring. I had the timing belt and tensioner replaced at the dealership. Then the car started to make a noise after i drove it on small roads for 10 to 15 minutes. I took it back, they said it was the idler bearings. The car made noises again after driven for 10 to 15 minutes. Then winter came, the car no longer made any noises. Now spring time is here, and the weather is warm again, the car now makes noises again in the timing belt area after it is driven for 10 to 15 minutes on small roads. When the car is driven on freeways, it doesnt seem to make as much noise if not any, this usually only happens while it is driven on small roads, where there is stop and go and during warm seasons such as spring, summer, and fall, but not winter. Does anybody have the solution to this problem? My car is 2000 Mazda Protege Es with 1.8L engine and 4 cylinder.

Like I said, I like to stunt around town and showing off what I got. So ofcorse I am going to have rims, tv's, and a banggin' system! But the only problem is, Im on a budget...1300 for the car. So it's going to have to be a used car. But there's a difference b/t female type cars and male type cars...what car should I get or rather CAN I get? And be able to put some 20 or 22" rims on it w/o having to do work on the rim area? This is going to be my first car, I'm 15.5yrs. but Im VERY independent! ANY SUGGESTIONS....

It did not occur to me until I had this dream last night where I bought a new lexus and an hour later got into an accident and totaled the new car.

If there is coverage, what is the extent of the coverage?

I am not a car owner therefore I wouldn't know.
