Cars & Transportation - 16 June 2007

I know someone who has been hiding a car for 2 years. Is that illegal? She doesn't drive it. She says she is just thinking she will someday be able to pay it and keep it. I think she's living in a fantasy land. But I'm worried she could get in trouble with the law.

Answers with documentation links would be appreciated.

I have a 4 disc changer and make mixed cd's @ home, but like the radio for its "festive" atmosphere and not knowing what's next. The random setting on cd takes too long to switch from one to the next and will burn up the player anyway.

I've noticed that whenever I have tried to trade in a car and get something different, the dealers claim my cars have little or no value while whatever type of car I'm wanting is supposedly worth so much more? Case in point I have a really nice ex-police car, a 1994 Chevy Caprice in good shape, everything works etc and I was wanting to trade for something a bit smaller in this case an older 1989 midsize Olds Cierra and yet somehow the dealer thought his was worth way more. I went into space! Even reasoning with book value seems a moot point. I just want to swap straight across for something older and smaller though it is not looking to be likely.

I hit a curb (2002 mini cooper) while trying to take a corner too fast. Must have been going around 20-30 mph. Now my right front tire is diplaced towards the rear - at least it looks that way from the fact that it is almost 2 inches closer to the rear than the left wheel. I didn't even notice it for awhile, because the car still drove straight. Now it's been pulling to the left. And of course the front tires are worn. Does this sound like major suspension damage? I will take it in to a mechanic, but I want to have a feel for what might be going on before I hear it from him.

I really want to get rid of that damn center bearing on my truck, is it doable to replace it with a one piece drive line or is there a really good reason I shouldn't.

The car starts up and idles farly uneasy, and when givien gas the carb kinda spits and at one point I saw flames shoot out. The car also runs like this crap.

Is this a mixture or timing issue or what? I just put in a new fuel pump, switched over from manual to electric but put a regulaor on.

Hello:

I have a 1999 Mazda 626 LX 160Kmile, Automatic Transmission.
The engine started fine, heard one slight "click" sound when I shift from parking to driving, the car is not moving!!! I could switch into any gear easily (perhaps too easy as hand feels usually), but the car is not moving in any direction.

I check the tans fluid level it is fine, could it be shift linkage or transmission problem?

Thanks in advanced !

I bought my car last year from a local dealership. When i purchased my car it was at around 35,000 miles. When I took my car in for an oil change the people informed me that my car was due for services at 30,000 miles and asked if i would like them to go ahead and perform said services. I assumed that the services had already been done as i had just bought the car. Recently i took the car back to the dealership due to a service light being on, and their mechanic tried to sell me the 30,000 mile services. My car is currently at 45,000 miles and other then the electrical problem i just had fixed it runs well. Should i get the transmission flushed, i have read where sometimes it causes larger problems, and i have also read from certain places that they are not required and are just to pad the pockets of the mechanics. I have also read about how they are vital in maintining the life of a vehicle.

and sometimes... not even that
(most of their capital gains come from Soda Pop and snacks)

so where does all that gas money go?
to Exon and other large oil companys?

You would THINK so, but actually, their cut is around a mere10 cents.

the truth is that the money is soooo dispersed among many different entities. the drilling, the transportation, the refineries, the middle-men....

everyone who's anyone is taking a cut.

not to MENTION the fact that the federal government takes almost 50% of any would-be profit.

We obviously need to move beyond dependency on fossil fuels. but as for now....

to many people ....too many companys... have their hands in the cookie jar, and even though WE as a society *think* we want fuel alternatives, a great percentage of us depend on it's revenue.

What are your views on the high prices of gasoline?

I tried to put 3 gallons of gas into my car and it started pouring out (out of where you put it in at). I don't go by gas guage (already knew that was messed up) so I go by mileage. According to the milage I was empty. I typically get 25-30 miles per gallon. I went 125 miles after the pouring out incident and broke down. Then put 3 gallons in again and only went 35 miles before breaking down again. I just put on a new fuel filter 3 weeks ago. The gas has only poured out that once, and hasn't since. What would be making the gas come out, let alone now I'm only going 20 miles to 3 gallons of gas? If something was put in my tank, what should I be looking for? I know I need a new fuel pump, but when it was looked at (the same time the new fuel filter was put on) it should have lasted a lot longer than just a few weeks.

We paid $1500 for the Mitsubishi Eclipse. The car came custom, the woman's husband had been a mechanic and had done all sorts of modifications on the car.
My husband evidently sent in all kinds of estimates claiming to have paid to perform the modifications himself, he also claimed to have insurance on the car which was not true. He had not even registered the car's title until after the accident so at the time of the accident the car was still in the previous owner's name. He was paid $5800 for the car.

I may be halucinating, but, my mother's Buick does not seem to be going the speed on the speedometer. Seems the car is going slower. I told her, it may use electronics and not the old cable as was common in days gone by. I been searching the Internet for pictures and parts. Will call Dealer Monday, they closed now. Thought someone on here may be familiar with this.
