Why do they not get "stuck:" when there is no train coming? Is there a machanism that pops up when the train comes making it difficult to travel over the track?

Is it just because they are stupid? HAHAA

Does a standard Chevy warranty (I have a 60,000-mile warranty and I'm at 51K) cover the bulbs for my rear right turn signal that blew out yesterday?
I have a 2004 Cavalier.
Thanks.

I drive a 98 Dodge Dakota, w/5speed manual tranny. I've been careful to keep up with oil and coolant changes, but what about the manual transmission? Its starting to make a little noise when the clutch is NOT pushed in. thats when it occured to me that I've never even checked the fluid level in the thing, and have no idea how to do so. Any hints?

I own a car. It has outstanding finance in my name on it and I still owe the finance company a lot of money.

My ex has sent off the log book and has filled it in in her name. She has come to me and has said that she wants my car!

Surely, no-one can transfer ownership of the car if there is still outstanding finance! I don't know what she thinks she is doing! Do I need to contact the DVLA and ask them what to do or can someone advise me legally?

I tried to start my car and it wouldn't. It couldn't quite crank over. A friend of mine checked the spark plugs and they were majorly gunked up. so I bought new plugs and installed them and my car started just fine. It started and ran good for about 4 or 5 days.

but then my battery went dead( It has the headlights that come up and down when you turn the lights on and off and one has been catching.) so I bought a new battery and my car started just fine. It ran good for about another 4 or 5 days.

I tried to start it and it wouldn't.(the battery is still good.) I've been told that it's not getting enough fire to it.

Im not sure if this would have anything to do with it, but about 8 months ago my speed o meter quit working and my over drive on/off button won't let me switch. The light blinks on and off in my dash. I can't tell if my car is in drive or over drive.

ive been told it might be the transmi but that cant have anything to do with it starting can it?

How would you stop your car going down a windy steep mountain or road when you have no brakes?

I own a 1989 Volvo 240DL. Would these rims fit it?

If not, what rims would other than the stock rims or the direct Volvo-made rims?
I would like to get some relatively cheap.

I feel that Hyundai should transfer their lower end cars solely to Kia (maybe anything below the Sonata - in turn wiping out the Optima and Amanti) and focus themselves at going for the big ones - such as Lexus (they've already made progress with the Veracruz). Then, Hyundai will build up the image of premium cars, and that will be reflected in their lineup, while Kia provides people with the everyday cars. (Hyundai ought to redesign their logo too - the flying H is too associated with cheap, unreliable cars.) Anyone else agree with me?

I'm turning 16 in two months and ever since I was 13 my dad has been telling me he will buy me a car for my 16th birthday. Between 13 and 16 my parents ended up getting a divorce but my dad still insisted he was buying me that car as long as I had good grades and was deserving of it etc. So like I said my birthday is rolling around here in almost exactly two months and my dad told me since I don't live with him he can't pay my car insurance.
So is it true? Can my dad pay for my car insurance even if I don't live with him?

Hi, my brother is actually the one who bought a 91 Camaro off Ebay last week. The listing stated that everything with the engine and transmission were in perfect working order. We live in NY and the dealer was in PA. He drove down to pick it up and before even leaving the state noticed that the car was stalling and had to change the alternator to be able to make it home. After getting it home he found many more problems wrong and now the seller isn't being cooperative at all. What are his option at this point? He clearly bought a dud but was completely led to believe that everything was fine with this car. I know NYS has a lemon law but it doesn't apply to cars bought in another state, is there a used car lemon law for cars purchased bye a PA dealer? Any help would be appreciated :)

But I don't know much about them! Currently I have a three blade aluminum prop on a 22 ft SeaRay (inboard/outboard, Bravo One mercruiser). Are there significant performance benefits to changing to a stainless steel prop? How about different blade numbers? We use the boat for water skiing, tubing, etc, as well as driving to and from our cottage; it is already such a pig on gas, I'm not worried about using a little more.

I nudged into my neighbours car this morning, and have made a crack in the paint about 3 inches long - there's no dent but there is a small crack. He's selling the car on Friday and has asked me for £200 to have it repaired. Is it necessary to have the whole car door resprayed, or are touch up jobs any good? I'm not sure if he'd go for it anyway, but I'm considering paying up to avoid claiming on my insurance. Is this a fair price - the car is white.
