Cars & Transportation - 2 July 2007

I am 15 years old and cannot wait to be able to drive on my own. My parents are still deciding whither i should take a silver 1998 Honda CR-V that has 60,000 miles on it, or if I can buy my own car or trade the Honda in on something. I have a list of cars and I need others opinions to decide.

1. Jeep Wrangler (I would like a Manual Transmission)
2. Honda Accord Sedan/Coupe
3. Honda Civic Sedan/Coupe
4. Toyota Camry
5. Toyota Corolla
6. Toyota RAV4
7. Nissan Sentra
8. Nissan Altima
9. Nissan Maxima
10. Saturn Aura
11. Scion xB
12. Scion tC
13. Other (any other car that you think is cool or good for a teenager!)

Please Reply Back!!!
Thanks alot!!!!

I recently had my car stolen and the insurance company is going to total the car. Someone mentioned to me that I am able to deny what my insurance company will offer me. I am aware that they will go off the Kelly blue book but one of the options on the site for kelly blue book is picking the condition of the car....how will the insurance company decide what condition it was in before it was stolen? help!

I have already looked up the carfax, and the car has a clean car fax. I have already test driven the car to make sure i like what i am driving and getting into. I also popped the hood and looked in the hood for oil leaks or new parts (as thats the sign as an accident). It looks like the car was never in an accident.

Should i be looking at the maintainence records? and what should i be looking in the maintainence records? Should i call any scion dealer to ask anything about this car (as i have the VIN# of the car)?.

The car is 2005 with 35k miles. It has minor scratches on the body (Nothing too big). I am getting the car for $11,800. Is this a good price? And the car is the base model with automatic tranny with LOJACK (its helpful to trace the car if it ever gets stolen) and remote starter.

Any help regarding this will be greatly appreciated.

I have a 3.4L V-6 Camaro, when it rains really hard for some reason my car runs a little rough... Im curious as to why my motor would begin to do this... If it rains hard enough my car will actually stop... Any ideas as to why this happens? The rain is hard, there is no water on the road (Not Flooded i mean) Anybody have any ideas?

Fiancee tried to fix my car...he put a new distributor cap on and everything was fine....then he went to change the fuel filter, however in a 93 toyota tercel, the fuel filter was located behind the engine. In the process of trying to change out the old filter, one of the wires to the fuel filter cracked and fuel leaked out everywhere...he was totally upset with himself. I tried to be calm and told him everything was okay he was trying to do something good and just messed up......he said "it's not ok!!" So now we have to look for another vehicle ( i need one i have 2 children) and we hardly have any money between the two of us b/c he has been out of work and i have been working to support us all. This morning he was driving me to work and he didnt even give me a kiss good-bye and normally he does (he's way over-affectionate) so i was shocked by this, like i did something wrong..when i asked why, he jus kissed me on the cheek...whats up with all this....any thought y he's actn this way?

I have an 2001 F-150 with a single in-dash CD player. My dad swapped his 6 CD in-dash changer out of his 2006 F-250 for a nav system and they gave him the changer back. He asked if I wanted it. Can I swap them out. It looks like it should fit, but will it fit and how do I get the fascia off around the radio and A/C controls?

I have a 1997 ford fiesta flight. It failed part of its MOT for back brake efficiency. The brakes were 47% efficient and needed to be at least 50% efficient as far as i know. They did not tell me what was wrong with the brakes, i was told it would cost me to find out what it could be. I was wondering what the problem would be, as far as i can tell the brakes work fine, they dont make any noises as i brake, everything works fine as far as i can tell. What could the problem be and is their a way i could test it to find out , and how could i go about fixing it.
Thanks.

My brake lights (2000 Oldsmobile Siluhette minivan) are acting weird, when its only the brakes, only the taillights, or only the turn signal they work fine. but any combination of those 3 options and all the lights come on sort of dim and do wierd stuff, for example the arrows for the turn signals in the dash come on when you hit the brakes with the taillights on.

Anyway I was told it is probably a bad ground wire. How do I go about fixing this? Do I have to re-wire the taillight assembly or is there some other simple fix I can try?

I just moved to a rainy city after living my whole life in Colorado (used to driving on snow and dirt). The only tip I've received so far is that if your wipers are on, so should your headlights. Any advise/tips on driving in a downpour?

my girlfriends 01 Camaro, the headlights are very dull, and very hazy. I have Meguiars Plastic Polish, Fine and Medium Cut Meguiars Buffing compound, 2 Mother's Powerball polishing wheels, and various other things. I do a lot with cars, so I've got plenty of experience, and the tools to do it with, but I just want to make sure I do it right. I've tried just the plastic polish, and it didn't clear up the heavy haze, but I've heard any buffing compound with even light abrasives will make them worse. I've taken very fine scratches out of platics before, but never this haze before, so a little help would be great! Thanks a lot!

If you wanted to have a really nice car fixed like a race car would you let someone who has a lot of experience but not a name or shop work on your car even if they built a car and can show you their work skills and ability?

Can you use a line out convertor on a set of speaker wires and still use it to power your speaker?

So the wire's will be spliced and then one end goes into the speaker and the other end would be into the loc.

Would the speaker lose power? How should i do this?

So torque controls acceleration from a standstill and low rpms right? Horsepower controls top speed and acceleration at high rpms? Is this correct? So when you downshift it is supposed to go to the horsepower peak to get maximum acceleration? Is this correct?
