I have a '75 Ford F-150 that I've been fixing up. Whenever I start it, it will start just fine, it's just that I have to engage the starter for a couple of seconds. It's not enough to fry the starter anything, maybe 5 or 6 seconds before it turns over. I was wondering if this might just not be a good output from my battery, or if there was something else you'd suggest. Once it turns over, it's not hesitant about it, and it will run good. It's just the delay in turning over.

I would commit the insane act of getting a CREDIT CARD to have a new car that didn't suck!

Seriously, why do all cars nowadays have to be so damn big, fast and luxurious?

Even the Yaris has too many "options" for my likes.

Its a 1994 Pontiac Sunbird V6 3.1L. I just had the oil pressure sender replaced but that didnt help. The engine gets hot quick, and the oil pressure gets low. Should I replace the oil pump or just have a rebuilt engine installed? I am willing to spend the money if it is worth it!

I am looking to buy a new car, and I have no idea what to look for. I have tried looking online, and even gone to a few dealerships, but have found no help. Anyone know if there are people out there who will help me with my search? I am pretty open to any make/model. I want something that is not rediculously expensive, and since I drive about 70 miles to work each way, something that gets good gas milage. Any sugggestions on how to find my car and get a good deal? Every dealership I have gone to seems intent on selling me one car that is "made for you", but it seems more like the car they just want off the lot. Please help!

O'Reilly's Auto Parts sold me a water pump for my Nova that was the wrong one and had the wrong gasket with it to boot.

There have been others before that.

I have seen some older abandoned crossings where the rails are assimilated with the pavement thus not causing annoying jumps and bangs to your car when going across it and having to worry if the eggs broke. so why not make all the crossing like this?

Are these good cars? As some may know... I am a teenage guy looking for a car. Would a miata be a good choice, this is at the top of my list but the price tag can be really steep and what about the insurance would it be through the roof on a sports car like this?? Advice, thanks.

Ok we hear about so much about driving going around the gates to beat the train. Also about the railroad now putting gates on both sides. Why don't they just make them longer to block the entire road on that particular side of the crossing? Then they would not have to go through the trouble of installing another base with a gate on it.

I looked up how to drive a manual transmission and I think it's pretty complicated. So i was wondering if they are gonna have a option of an automatic transmission for the RWD Tiburon.
