I have a tan top on my convertible and I have no idea how to take care of it. It currently has a few smaller(about 2-3" in diameter) spots from dirt and I don't know how to get rid of them. How do I take care of a cloth convertible top and how can I get rid of these spots?

Thanks!

My car was in a garage for 16 years, I clean the windows but a film keeps reappearing on the inside. I have scrubbed them good but it keeps coming back. It looks like a smoke haze. Any suggestions?

I have a check engine light on and dealer can't find any problems, no codes showing up, cost me about 10 hours labour for him to tell me this, he didn't clear the engine light so it's still on, anyone know how to reset it, I think it's just OBD I, if it's before 1998, but I'm not sure. Help. Thanx

Besides the obvious danger of getting injured, doesn't it just scream out to the world "I'm an inbred moron?"

my tires always look like they don't have enough air (not sure if that's just my imagination)....someone told me that some cars need more air in the front versus the back tires and that it's different depending on if its summer/winter, etc. I have a 2000 Jeep Cherokee but we got it used and it didn't come with the owner's manual (dont ask) and I know you are supposed to check on the side of the door but I couldn't find it all I found was something that said P75. Anyone happen to know what the air pressure should be and what the difference is in front/back and seasons?

I have a 1990 Bmw 525i and for some reason the front door will not function properly. Central locking works when the door is open but the drivers door will not lock with the others when it is closed. It doesn't seem to be a problem with the latch but not sure for definite. This is really becoming a problem so any information would be great

I've heard horror stories about milage and electronics on the ultimate driving machine. I've also heard the big sunroof chatters in highway speeds. But most of what I hear is good. I'd like to buy a gently used 06 or 07. Any good or bad experiences to share?

I got a 15.58 gallon tank. I went 270 miles and now its on empty. So to sum it up i got about 17 miles to a gallon... but my car is rated at 28 mpg. Its a 1998 ford mustang v6 3.8 liter. I usually run it as low rpm's as possible. I just replaced a faulty oxygen sensor and got a new air filter. Whats the problem??? Or is this not the way to calculate the MPG.
