Cars & Transportation - 12 May 2007

The audio system I plan on putting into my car is worth more than my car itself. My engine is also slightly supped up (previous owner) and I plan on fixing up the engine even more, making into more of a race/show car than anything. I'm looking into a good way to secure this. I don't want an alarm system because seriously, when I hear car alarms, all it does is annoy me and I think if someone was gonna take my car or the goods, they wouldn't care. At the end of summer I am also moving to a much larger city where the crime rate is higher and this kind of bugs me. I'm looking for a good way to secure my car and audio system. Price isn't an object, to protect this stuff anything's worth it. Any ideas or anyone have anything they've done that works well?
By the way, it's for a '96 Chevy Cavalier

i change my engine oil religiously every 10,000 miles and used only Mobil 1 synthetic oil in my 1990 Isuzu Trooper that currently has more 321,000 miles... although my engin is trouble free and still runs smooth, it no longer has the power and fuel effieicy it used to have... can't afford to overhaul the engine or re-do the valves to increase compression... are there any oil additives or engine treatments sold on the market that really really works, such as Restore and Slick 50 that claims their product will increase horsepower and resduce engine friction... or are all those additives on the store shelves merely gimmicks to rip off naive and ignorant people who really can;t afford a big repair bill?

The power locks and the horn are on the same fuse. I replaced the fuse and the horn and locks worked for about 10 minutes (or 10 - 15 beeps - my kids were excited to hear the horn again) Brand new fuse; should I try another or is there a short or something electrical? Locks are not working, of course. What would cause this?

I know if someone lends their car to someone else, they are responsible for the damage to the car. However, if the child who crashed the car did not receive permision from the owner to drive the car, but rather the owner's child (who is also underage), is the owner still responsible?

In addition, the child who crashed the car into a stop sign ran away and the car was impounded, since it was considered a hit and run. Is he responsible for the damage to the sign and the impound costs?

I know its a lot of questions... Thanks guys!

Does the car AC Compressor, works all the time, even when AC is turned off ? Compressor runs with motor with the help of the belt. So it must be working all the time. But I think this may be not the case. I have seen that complicated pully to drive the Compressor. I think so this pully controles this requirement. Probably the AC switch makes some type of contact in this pully then actual compressor works, and on other times, when AC is off, only the pully runs, but Compressor does not run. This is all that I guess my self. Can some body please confirm or explainthe situation for me and for other readers. Thank you very much in advance.

If the Toyota Camry is front wheel drive then, why does the owner's manuel states to check the the differential fluid. I thought the differential fluid was only on rear wheel drive cars? Please only serious answers. Is this another way for dealerships to get your money?
