I scraped against another car and got the other car's paint off of mine but some of the paint from my car got scraped off from the accident, not from me removing the other car's paint. Anything I can do to touch up the areas where the paint is missing, without paying a lot at a body shop?

Can someone please explain IN DETAIL how synchronizers and blocker rings make the rpms of the collar and engaging gear the same? When you shift up why do the rpms decrease? Is it because it is a heavier load on the engine? Why do the rpms of the rpms increase when you shift down? Is it beacuse it is a lighter load on the engine? Can someone please answer this IN DETAIL. I have been searching for months.

I always drove a car cautiously with a little usage of air conditioner and stereo system and I draw a conclusion of my experience by doing that would save gas usage to drive 4 days and get gas instead of 3 days and get gas. Is it true? If not true then what makes a car run out of gas quick for 3 days driving as stated above?

I asked the question "Is a 1958 VW bus a good starter car for a teenager????" I got alot of answers telling me a VW bus was not such a good idea. (thank you by the way)
My daughter has wanted a VW bus since she was 10 years old and 6 years later, she has not changed her mind. She has her heart set on one and does not want anything else. She is very responsible but after hearing all these peoples opinions, I dont think it is the right car for her. DOES ANYBODY KNOW OF A GOOD CAR THAT SHE WILL LIKE BUT IS ALSO SAFE AND RELIABLE??

Hi, i'm 16 and thinking of gettin a moped. I do not really want one but I am about to start working at a place about 3 miles away and the hours are 5:30pm to 10:30pm, 5 days a week. I am also starting college in September. But i'm 17 in 8 months and do not know whether to just wait and get a car, but if I did this I would have no way to get home everynight at 10:30 for the time being. Its quite a big purchase and can't really aford it. I also feel that if I get a moped it will slow me down in getting a car because of funds etc. Do you think I should stop worrying about the future, live for the moment and get one or wait till i'm 17. Please Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

how do you PROPERLY check your engine oil? i had my engine oil changed a month ago by a shop and right when they finished they showed me on the oil stick that it was at max. but now whenever i check myself it doesnt show at one specific place where its says "max" but it shows very lightly all over the oil stick. i have tried to go driving and check it, doesnt show clearly. i have tried to start up for 5 mins then check, but still the same. i have tried to start up then put in neutral and check but still the same results. any advice?

I know it sounds like a dumb question but my husband is a mechanic and he keeps on slipping on oil spots. We want to find some shoes that won't slip very easily under those conditions. Any mechanics out there know a thing or two about this?

My 1992 Ford Ranger failed the emissions test due to HCs being above the limit. HC (ppm) limit is 160 and I was at 256. CO and NOx were well within limits. The check engine light's been on for the past 10,000 miles or so and I've had a pretty significant loss of power for about that long - the engine just feels sluggish. Any idea what I can do to fix this without spending a fortune on a mechanic?
