Cars & Transportation - 5 July 2007

Does anyone know where I can hire cars for a decent price? Like a Pay As You Go car rental service. I need to rent a car from time to time to do my fortnightly shop as my car has broke down. I don't need it for holidays or the like. Please Help!!!

Claim #1:Jap bikes are built to last.*Well if that's the case then Where are the Old Ones? 90% of All Harleys ever built are still on the road and running. Jap bikes even close to 10 years old are crushed and sold back to Japan so they can build more.
#2:Harleys are uncomfortable.You got us there if your idea of comfort is lying face down,with a vibrator in your crotch and your butt in the air.Now there's a Visual.

Hi sligthly confused I had an accident last week, rang them up that day to report it, and then the following day with the rest of the information as I hadn't got it all.

Now a week later they have sent me a claims form which confuses me as I thought I had done that on the phone? Is there likly to be any sort of time constrant on handing this back? Plus is this normal for me to have to now fill out the claims form even though I gave them all the ifnormation on the phone last week?

Live in the UK.

I own a 2001 BMW 330ci. Lately when driving at slow speeds (usually when coming to a stop) I notice that when I apply the brakes my car wants to pull to the left. Could this be a sign of a bad tie rod?

Also, please include cost estimates on how much a repair like this should cost. Thanks!

Does it make a difference to the speed / acceleration if more passengers are on board or if Air Condition of the car is switched on etc.

In Infiniti QX4 Automatic, 7 seater, will the acceleration be more if only 2 passengers are on board rather than 7 passengers ?

Thanks for your replies.

All of my cars are AT, as we all know it moves when shift to DRIVE without even stepping on the gas. On that state, is it consuming fuel? Do you think I can save gas by shifting to NEUTRAL (instead on DRIVE and stepping on the break while on a stop)?

The car i'm gonna get is FWD. With rear drum brakes and front disc brakes. It is 172 HP 4 speed with over drive, and 4 cylinder. It's the 2008 Dodge avenger. Is that bad? I'm thinking of getting it. Hopefully for 17,500-18,000.

I've had my license for a year now and my own car for about a month, and I'm still nervous when I hit the freeway. Public streets or slow streets are very comfortable for me. I love driving around the neighborhood. Barely any cars. But freeways, there's just something about them.

The top thing: I hate merging. You could say I can just go to the left lane, but I don't drive that fast. I usually stick to the right lane where people merge in from on-ramps.

Also, I hate doing is changing lanes. It makes me very nervous because you don't know if the car on the lane you want to switch to is going to let you or not, and you don't want to block traffic behind you.

Maybe I'm just too concerned about what people will think of my horrible driving?

Also, I don't like driving with my parents. They get mad at all my mistakes. I just tell them you're looking from a different perspective as the passenger, not the driver. So, while it may look fast to them, it's not really fast to me.

Thanks!

I just bought the bike from a private party. When I went to register today, they said I needed to pay a sales tax on the bike, and may be required to pay it again when I move back to Boston. I'd rather only pay it once....what do I do?

I got a 2000 Dodge Neon a couple days ago and i was wondering how much the insurance will be a month? I'm a sophomore girl in highschool and i usually maintain a B average (you get about $25 off insurance for maintaining good grades). And how much will it be to get it licensed? I payed $1300 for the car (they were desperatly trying to sell it) and it's in perfect condition.

hello i have a suzuki gz250 and i was wondering if there is any harm in starting off from 2nd gear i tryed it and it worked and i find it easy to do it because if i start in 1st since its only a 250cc my first gear tops out at about 7-9mph and that makes it a little hard to get into moving traffic thank you

I have a 2007 Ford Ranger 3.0 L V6 Super Cab (the one with the extra half-door and rear fold-up seats) with Automatic Transmission.

I got the truck with 3200km / 2000 miles on it.

I've been keeping track of my gas mileage for the past 5 months.

I've calculated my average as :
7.2 km/ l , or
17 mpg.

I do a mixture of highway and city driving with mostly highway driving.

According to the Ford Website, the Ranger gets 17 mpg city / 22 mpg hwy.

I do mostly hwy driving and I'm getting the city average.

My feeling is that the Ranger is a gas guzzilng little beast.
When my lease expires in 2 years I'm going Tacoma, or, what I really want, a hybrid or natural gas truck (if one becomes available).
I'm a greenie : ).

Thanks in advance for your feedback.
