My sister got a car from a private car dealer and hasn't made ANY payments on it for about a year. She told me she got a letter in the mail the other day from the DMV that she needs to renew her tags. So a question that has me wondering is ... would the DMV still carry on with the normal procedure of notifying drivers if the car was reported stolen??

Recently, I have fallen in love with the Mustang Fastbacks (mostly Mach1) from around 1968-'72, but I don't have $20,000 for one in good condition. I have about 4 years to work with. What do I do?

most of our street is divided up into flats. our house is 7 flats with 8 people and most of the others are aswell.
We can only buy 1 parking permit per house (not per flat) so there are 8 of us to 1 permit. we can get guest permits but these only allow parking for 25 days per year so are no use.
We both have cars and need them to get to work (it takes over 2 hours each way on the bus, so i cant got to work on time)
if we can't park on our street or the surrounding streets we will have to either move or park a couple of miles away,

what can we do? it starts in september.

hi there. i am willing to buy either a 2008 altima coupe or 2007 toyota camry SE. i really like the altima coupe more than the toyota camry but a some people told me that toyota's are more reliable than the altima coupe. they also claimed that nissans break easilly than the toyota's. i dont reaaly understand if there is actually big difference between the nissan's and toyota's in terms of reliability. i have plans to keep the cars for a long time. i really take care of cars and perform the maintenance on time. the only thing i am worried about is if the altima coupe will last long or it will break down like KIA's. which one should i go for? thanks for your help.

Every steam fan has had this dream I'm sure, to see steam king of the rails again. Many say the Age of Steam has past, but I say it's just resting, and is almost ready for her come-back. In England, and in fact the world, steam power is being re-considered, due to rising oil costs, making diesil and electric more expesive to operate. In Britain, there is a new locomotive being built, the 5AT Advanced Steam Locomotive being 70%more efficient, as well as a brand new A1 Class that had been completed in 2000, the first for trial operation for British Rail, the other for main line tourist trains. The utter beauty and genius of a steam locomotive is that it can burn any combustible material (even hydrogen) to make steam, and there is even a fireless locomotive being re-fitted or built in California that will haul commuter trains, using steam made by solar power (look up Solar Steam Train in your browser). Soon, I imagine steam will be more prevalent in the US, and the world...how about you?

Last week I went to grocery store in my car. There was a parked Yamaha R6 in the parking lot. All around it were a bunch of shopping carts for no reason. A parking space is not the place you put your shopping carts, specifically around other people's vehicles (including bikes). I just want to know why people do that? I physically went over there and moved some of the carts out of the way, so when the dude came back to his bike he could get out.

My neighbor harrasses anyone who parks their car in front of her house. There are apartments and some people do not have anywhere to park but on the street. Everyone who lives on my street who does not have a space to park, has to pay for a permit. She leaves notes on peoples cars asking them not to park in front of her house. She also will go to my neighbors home, knock on their door and tell them not to park in front of her home.

What should everyone do? She's so hostile.
