I need peoples opinions here. I'm 20 years old and have worked at a different auto shop for 6 months prior to the job you're going to hear about. I just started at this new job where I was supposed to be a Automotive Apprentice (Mechanics Helper). I've worked there 2 days and am horribly stressed! The first day is the day I dropped of my resume, I was hired instantly and went to work immediately did some typical work at firs. At the end of the day I was told to bring in an Astro van for a " No Start " so I diagnosed it as needing a fuel pump and it could use a tune up, so I ordered the parts then went home. The next day I go to work and start that job immediately. There is 1 other "mechanic" , he was given a water pump on a 350CI Van and a Power steering hose. I finished my crappy van job way before he finished his and I was thinking in my head o my lord. After that job the service writer comes back and says theres a work order for a Bronco in need of front pump seal. Continued.....

I live in Bluffton, SC and I know we have traffic cameras. I am trying to figure out if there is a way I can see my accident online? I am looking online and only finding still images. The cameras are located all along highway 278 which is where I had my accident. I'm trying to find actual video not just images.

I just got a roadside emergency kit that has 2 flares in it. My problem is that I live in Utah and it gets up to 105 here. Which means that it gets significantly hotter in the trunk on a hot summer day.

Are there any risks of the flares self-igniting in the trunk?

Are steering wheel covers dangerous, I flicked through the tv channels last night and briefly heard that they are dangerous.
I asked my friend about it he said fluffy ones can be dangerous - because if you need to swerve suddenly you may miss grip the cover.
But isn't that the same as wearing gloves that aren't leather ?
I really want a steering wheel cover, should I get a purple rubber one instead ?
Thanks, any help appretiated and best answer gets 10 points.

My car is registered in VA and I always thought that all registration costs were the same for all cars. Why does it cost more to register my car than my friends?

Do they go by vehicle value and if so, since when did they begin assessing different registration costs?

I have a 1996 Ford explorer with 145k miles on it. When I reach about 60 mph the truck kind of shook and started riding rough, but then it was ok when i got to 70mph. The check gage light came on. Does anyone have any ideas on what the problem would be?

I've got a mk2 P reg Mondeo with damp carpet on the passenger side of my car. its mainly at the back (proper saturated) but also at the front.

After scanning many of the owners club forums and ripping up a bit of carpet i think i've tracked it down to coming from the centre pillar (the A frame?). what ideas can you think of as reasons, and how can i best do a bodge DIY fix?

any ideas? the car was only £400 on ebay, so i don't want to take it to a garage and get charged a quarter of its value to get it fixed.

I just had my emissions done on my OBDII car. I kept the engine running the entire time to make sure the cats stayed hot to help pass inspection.

When I got my report back, I passed, but under the ASM2 tailpipe inspection section, everything is listed as N/A.

Was it unnecessary for me to keep my engine running the entire time and wasting gas?

I guess only OBDI cars use the tail pipe sniffer.... ???

I've narrowed it down to that: I don't have the floor jack, jack stands, garage space or child-free work area to do it myself. Your best estimate would be a big help.
