Cars & Transportation - 27 April 2007

I have a Black 2003 Dodge Neon has a whole bunch of swirl marks and small hair line scratches, probably from cleaning it at work before with the old brushes.

I want to buff my car to get all of that out of there, but I am not sure what the best product to use would be.

I would appreiciate all GOOD comments and opinions. Thank you!

During this time of the year the temperatures outside are really hot.. 100º +. i can only park my car outdoors and im concerned about the heat and the sun's rays damaging my car. my car is pretty much brand new, just bought it about 1month ago and i want to keep it in the best condition i can. What are some good ways to help my car keep cool and protect the paint job? The mp3 player in my previous car was killed by the summer heat. i'm taking extra precautions this time around.

How can i remove a stripped NUT(not the bolt)? Any suggestions?
It is a bolt that is on my 1994 Ford F-150 5.0 / 302 anyway the transmission was replaced in the past and the mechanics left a stripped NUT (totally rounded off) were the torque converter connects to the fly wheel. Vice grips wont get it!

I swapped my stock 305 with a 350, the engine is rebuilt with an edelbrock performer carburetor, 600cfm, after market headers, it's loud (no exhaust yet just headers). Any tips on how to quiet it down? Also, on the stock 305 engine there were 2 sensors on the block, one for oil pressure and other for coolant.
The 350 engine is a 1970 year. Where are these sensors located so that I can purchase the right ones?

It has always seemed to me that horns are essential on aircraft while on the ground, yet, no company has them installed. Why not? Collisions could be avoided. Why aren't the insurance companies and pilots insisting on them? If a nearby jet is rolling toward another, there is communication via 3rd party. How stupid is that? Why can't a pilot simply toot a seriously loud horn? Trains, busses, trucks, and boats have em...WHY NOT JETS? They are so expensive, and so fragile.

I need this for my test, but I always practiced in my instructor's car-a Dodge Neon. As you may know, the Neon's front end is WAY smaller than the sunfire's. I had the technique perfected with the neon, following this regime:

Assuming the parking spot is on the right, pull up close until you can see the back end of the car ( you're parking behind ) in your back right window.

Then dry steer and turn the wheel the whole way to the right and slowly back in until creating a 45 degree angle with your car to the curb.

Then stop and dry steer the whole way to the left, continue and back up. If you need any room, you can turn the wheel 1 1/2 times and pull forward or backward.

Now, here's my problem, when attempting this in my Sunfire, my front end becomes uncomfortably close to hitting the back end of the other car, whereas the Neon fit perfectly.. What act can I alter to make the job easier in the sunfire?

About a month ago I was on my way to work on a six lane, divided road through the middle of downtown New Orleans. I was in the far right lane. I came upon a large truck stopped in the far right lane, apparently delivering things. I stopped. People behind me changed lanes quickly. Once traffic cleared out of the lane to my left (the middle lane) I turned on my signal, looked over my shoulder and proceeded to move to the middle lane. A man driving very aggressively in a blue sports car came up behind me in the far right lane. Rather than slowing down and waiting for me to merge, he tried to make it around me, and ran into a car in the far left lane. I stopped for a minute, because the man waved at me. He then began to yell at me and tell me the accident was all my fault. I don't think that I did anything wrong at all; I wasn't even in the accident. He was yelling and really scaring me so I left, and I didn't hit anyone or get hit. Today his insurance called. Did I do anything wrong?
