Cars & Transportation - 20 April 2007

I have a 95 accord 2.2liter with 150,000 miles. The car leaked all of it's oil onto the pavement (after parking the vehicle), and I had the car towed to a mechanic that said its sounds like a seal was blown and "let's change the timing belt and water pump" while we are at it. The engine was running and sounded fine before all of this fiasco, and now, with the new parts, the car has barely any power, sounds like the engine is going to throw a rod, and I still have an oil leak, though it's much smaller. I have to place 2 quarts of oil a week so it won't drive dry. Did I get ripped off? Does the timing belt need to be tightened (hence the engine noise and power loss). Mechanic showed me the new timing belt and water pump, so the job was done, but I did receive the car later overheating, a result of no radiator fluid or water whatsoever (my suspicions are that he took out the fluids from my car, and did a bad job on the belt so my car's engine would burn out as he offered to buy,,help!!!!

My car overheated yesterday and when I came home I looked at it. I first checked the fuses. They were all good. Then I started the car and the fan on the passenger side did not come on. I opened the cover to the box that has relays or something (do not know what they are called) in it by the driver side firewall and took the black cap off the one closest to the firewall towards driver side.( It said fan on it) when I pressed on it the fan on drivers side ran. I took the cap off the other black thing that said fan. When I pressed on it I could hear a relay or something clicking by the engine on the passenger side, but the passenger side fan did not start. I then unhooked the connections on both fans and ran jump wires to the passenger side fan to the driver side fan connection and again pressed the relay (or something?) and the passenger side fan does not run when directly wired. Is there anything else I can check.??? Also what fan is the passenger side one, radiator or condenser???

I just passed my driver's test today and I was wondering why it would take so long to get my license (the card) in the mail. They said it takes 2 to 3 weeks, do they have a reason for that when in other states they will give it to you in the same day. Thanks.

I was changing my brake pads and noticed that one of my cv boots were torn, separated, whatever. It is on the drivers side maybe about a foot or so away from the tire. How long should I be able to drive with this condition?? And also how hard is this to repair, I am able to do simple things like changing brakes and this of that nature. Thanks

THIS Q IS FOR THE HARLEY GANGSTA:
I was curious. If I ask too many questions, will a gangster type harley crowd invade my neighborhood? (like it has) Can I sue HD for PTSD associated with the coke infested gang that led to my mother's death? why do I yell out loud all by myself when a harley goes by my place with middle finger raised ready to fight the fat retarded slob on the bike to death? Will I get any answers above the mentality of a monkey? Can I get an excuse by law for the decibals? Can I get an excuse for engineering of an out of balanced engine, designed just for the bad decibals? Should I just stop asking questions and fantasize God Allmighty is cursing every one of you aholes for torture and meek mind raping manipulation and avoid a by chance oppurtunity to go blind and try and kill one of you mother*ckers and spend the rest of my life in jail on brain medication?

I am living in Fairbanks AK, and well it gets pretty cold here (-40/-50 F) during the winter. I am looking into getting a new vehicle and have heard that a hybrid would not be an ideal vehicle here because they don't run well in cold weather. I am hoping someone can either confirm or deny this rumour, and if it wouldn't run, why not?

I don't understand why you people buy these big expensive SUVs. Please don't tell me because of safety. There are lots of cars that are just as safe. Is it to keep up with your neigbors?
