i got into a car accident 4weeks ago. the person begged me not to call her insurance company n said she'd pay for everything. after i got my estimate then she decided not to pay b/c its about 4000. it took her 2weeks to decide. i already talked to both of my insurance company n her insurance company. it wasn't my fault, and i have a witness. i don't want to use my insurance b/c i have to pay 1000 deductible and i'm not sure if i can get it back, and why should i if it was that person's fault. her insurance company said i should just use my insurance, and my insurance company said it'd be easier to use her insurance. what should i do? should i just wait? b/c i really don't want to pay a 1000 dollars.

first vehicle is a 2001 Nissan Patherfinder with 83,000 miles and has a year and a half of car payments left ($325). Also, the warrantity runs out at 100,000 miles. Or, a 2003 Pontic Grand Prix with 55.000 miles and no payments left. this car has no warranty left. me and my fiance need to get rid of a car to save money. we live in chicago and need to make the right decision. we only need to hold onto this vehicle for no more than two more years. which car would you keep?????

My sunroof is jammed/broken and I plan on fixing it myself ('98 Hyundai Elantra). I got a quote from a mechanic that he would charge $200 just to take off the lining (inside the car on the ceiling) just to get to where he could look at it. So needless to say this must be tricky or take some time. I just don't want to tear up the lining or do something irreversable and create more problems. You don't have to give me full instructions but tips would be appreciated (i.e. "most importantly . . ." or "make sure not to do this . . .")

Just on the removing of the lining, I worry about the actual sunroof when I can get to it and take a look

JD Powers finally ranked Ford higher than toyota and Nissan in recent quality. Doesn't it finally feel good that you now have a domestic car manufacturer that beats Japan's and Europes competition? Now the only thing Ford has to focus on is beating Honda in quality, then they have it made. Ford has also earned the most awards than any car manufacturer in the world!

How many car accidents have you actually watched happen, or you were there when they happened...? Not just driving past them afterwards.

I ask because I've seen a LOT of them in the past two years, and I'm not sure if it's just because I have a long commute. I want to know, is this common among people with long commutes?

I bought a 3 wheeler that was built for racing . Its a older model. A kawasaki KLC 200. Anyways i bought it as is. It had been sitting in there shed for a couple year but ran when they parked it they said. Anyways I orignally thought it had carb issues cause when i would put the gas into the motor and hold my hand over where the carb hooked up it wold start for a split second and die out. Which made since cause there was no carb hooked up. Anyways i tried it the other day and it will only start when it wants to when you place the gas into the motor. Someone told me it was out of time. Is there a way to check this? I dont know if this has anything to do with it but when you go to start it and it hits you have to turn the key off and back on for it to turn over the motor again. I want to fix it but dont want to pay a 100.00 a hour. Anyone have any ideas to check the timeing or have a idea whats wrong with it?

Hello There,

For all those who had, have or know someone with an Altima please tell me about the car.
Is it an amazing car or not ? after 100K miles, how does the engine feel like ? still powerful with a sexy rumbling noise or no ?
Spare parts, handling in curves, handling on wet surface, etc...

I'm really looking forward to hear from you guys.

Very greatful in advance.

This is my first bike and I am learning a lot with it. I was wondering how to bleed the brakes, what is a good bleeder, and if someone could point me to a website or some reading material on how to put on new brake pads that would be awesome. I am learning how to do all of my own mechanical work and have taken one class here at college that taught me all the systems in a car. That is the extenct of my knowledge.

My 1998 Ford Ranger’s (4 cylinder) heater is stuck on high heat. Every now and then I will be traveling down the road and notice that the heater is not putting out any heat. Then I look at the temperature gauge and it will be dropping. It will go all the way to cold. I know of things that will make a motor over heat, but not cool down. Anyone know what is going on?

I have a 1995 Pontiac Bonneville. The battery is only two years old so I dout that is the problem. I have been having to get my car jump started, the battery has been completely dead after leaving it sit overnight. The alternator is charging the battery because i can still start my car 4 hours after i have been driving it for 15 minutes. What could be draining my battery? I also pulled out the fuse the controls the chime and the radio. thanks

Without exception, whenever I'm on the road in my car and their's a bike nearby, the MUST weave in and out of traffic and rev their engines and take off at an exceedingly fast rate. Bikers, why do you suck at driving and why don't you drive safely?
