Looking at getting a used 2005 or 2006 Dodge Magnum with the 5.7 Hemi. Do I have to run super unleaded or will it do alright on regular? Thanks!!!

I'll try to describe: Imagine a two-wheel dolly with little (8" tall x6" wide) fat tires/aluminum rims, and a metal box with a lid (instead of a flat platform) that holds a car battery. A pair of thick cables run from the battery box to an engine starter (automotive size). The starter is mounted perpendicular on a bar shaped in a half circle (to be able to pick up & hold the starter) that also has a push-button/ solenoid setup attached where your right thumb could press. At the business end of the starter, instead of a gear (like a car starter) there is a flat disc with teeth. Also on this end is a smaller, flat metal, half circle piece for attaching the starter to whatever you want to spin or turn. So - you can pick up the starter, attach/ mount it temporarily to some kind of motor/engine/gear/something, press the button and make "something" spin. There are a few more idiosyncracies, but maybe you get the idea. Any thoughts? Have pics,Hope someone knows! Thanks in advance!!

Is it a glitch? The default for my eclipse gsx is single cd and I forgot to uncheck it and choose mp3 cd and I noticed my value actually decreased about $100 bucks... I retried again several times and the prices just stay the same. It definately decreases when I choose mp3 cd instead of regular cd.

I have a 2001 Dodge Caravan in which I'm planning on selling. The problem is, would anybody really be interested? It is in excellent condition and it rides very smoothly. It has 135,000 miles on it though. Will this turn a lot of people away, even though it's in excellent condition and also has aswome gas mileage? (24 mpg city!)

Ok, we are going to drive to Lake Tahoe around midnight on an interstate. It's about a 3 hour drive at normal speed. We are spending two nights together and yes we will be romantic (its a long story but we both have parental permission so my question is not covering that aspect but about getting there alive and home safe on Monday afternoon. Ok we both recently got our licenses but I have not done any high speed driving as of yet and his step dad has been training him on the interstates (but its limited so far). My dad likes to drive fast and my mom is always telling him to slow down. Should I insist to Jamie that he drive at 55 mph which I believe is the normal speed and not try to rush. Plus as we enter the interstate should I help him watch for oncoming cars? Oh ya I'm not just concerned about my safety. I want him to drive no faster than 55 mph even when he is driving alone. Of course no cell phones. What about talking with him. Should we be quiet? Other suggestions?

This was due to unpaid tickets. My question has to do with car insurance...The violations were from 2003/2004, but since I am taking care of them today, are they considered "new" violations or are they considered (for insurance rates) 3+ yr old violations? Just in case you are wondering, I have driven a company car for the last three years and the insurance was all taken care of thru the company. This will be the first personal auto insurance I've had since June of 2004. The lease is up on the company car, and I am puchasing a used car (2002 model) from a dealer.

I need to change the cd player in a Toyota Matrix. Would a cd/tape player from a Toyota Corolla of the same year be a match? I'm having a hard time tracking down a replacement Matrix player (I want one with a tape player).

A couple days ago I finished installing (2) Infinity Reference 1252w subs to an Infinity Reference 611a mono amp in the trunk of my midsized 4-door sedan.

Go here to see the subs - http://www.crutchfield.com/S-ivQ6rU5NIHA/cgi-bin/ProdView.asp?g=520&tab=essential_info&i=1081252W

Go here to see the amp : http://www.infinitysystems.com/car/products/product_detail.aspx?prod=REF611A&CheckProduct=Y&Language=ENG&Country=US&Region=USA

I have them wired for a 4ohm load using the diagram at - http://www.crutchfield.com/learningcenter/car/subwoofers_wiring.html?suboptions=Mono%5F2%2D4ohm%2DDVC&type=mono
But the bass is very weak and distorted. The subs are in a sealed enclosure with 1.25 cu. feet each. Are they wired correctly?
