I thought rear wheel drive cars are only for racing and performance car ? But why, just the BMW 1 Series is using RWD, but the other series didn't use ? All series like 3,5,6,7 are much more better and need more performance than 1 Series, right ? But why 1 Series is the one only using it, since it is the cheapest among them ? I am so confused...By the way, may i know, Audi A3 and BMW 1 Series which one is cheaper ?

I have a 06 Honda CR-V and I'm trying to run the power wire from the battery terminal all the way back to the trunk. The problem is I can't find an opening in the firewall so I can get it inside the car. The wire is a 4 gauge wire. Any ideas how I can do this without drilling? I've asked local stereo shops but they keep telling me they'll do it for me and charge me, they won't actually tell me how.

Today when going to pick up my kids my truck died twice pulling into the driveway. started right back up. Never had the problem before. Then when i was almost home it died again. It would try to rev but wouldnt then died. Electrical and everything else seems fine. It turns over but wont start. Seems like its not getting fuel. Anyone have any ideas if its the fuel pump or what it could be, and if its somethig that would be covered under warranty? Its got about 45000 miles and is a 2004 bought new.

The A/C in my car doesn't work well. (My car is 7 years old btw). Sometimes when I turn on the A/C it will work for a while but sometimes it doesn't. I'm guessing I'm running out of freon, but I don't remember ever having to replace freon before. How long does it take to run out (I don't think I use too much A/C, mainly only during the summer)? And how much does it cost to refill? Thanks.

I hear its better for your gas tank to have the tires full, but when I am in the parking lot my tires screech always unless my tires are full. But when I get my oil changed at 76 they always have my back tires at or near the max and my front tires at about half psi. The psi level on my truck is 41. I have a chevy silverado 2003.

I am buying a new car and want to trade in my 2001 mustang convertible. The car is in good condition and has about 4000 in aftermarket upgrades but has minor paint defects on the rear bumber because of an accident it was in. KBB says I should get about 7500 (stock) for it and the dealership is saying they will only give me 6000 because of the accident. Does the value drop that much or are they trying to rip me off???

The car was not being driven until i got it running and reliable. Then i wanted to make sure my girlfriend liked it. While driving she didnt see a red light and got T-boned. I hadnt put insurance on it cause i was going to transfer it into her name. I have current insurance just not on that car. Is there anything i can do. Also she doesnt have insurance because she doesnt own a car.

It is very unfortunate that in India there are no laws protecting one from vandalism. I have silently suffered two such acts in the past 10 days. Nothing can be done and I am only seething with anger and anguish.
There have been 2 big gashes on my Car (Black car, may I add) one on the door and another one on the side of the boot. And it is a big graffiti made from a sharp object, may be a key or a nail.
My car is always parked on the street as there is no parking facility in the building...and the street urchins somehow have targeted just my car, I am wondering why! Maybe even they find black a bit too alluring..
But it is something I really worked my butt off, earning. So I feel extremely disgusted and it pains to see some street kid do damage to my hard earned asset and I am not able to do much about it other than fretting and fuming!!

Anyone faced similar trauma?

This is more prevelant in the South, as I have heard several scary stories from others who I know.

When I bought my truck 2 mos. ago I had to pull up on the steering wheel to start it. Now When I turn the key It starts but the key switch doesnt disenagage the starter. Sometime when I bump the steering wheel the truck shuts off. The steering wheel is also loose. Can this be the bearings in the steering wheel or the Ignition/Key Switch? I have a 1981 Ford F100
