It feels like I'm going to have a blow-out. It doesn't do this all the time but I have had two episodes in the last week. Steering wheel and front end seem to shake violently.

My minivan was factory equipped with run-flat tires and no spare (not even a donut). After a terrible experience when I couldn't get a replacement easily, I switched to regular 225/70/R17 tires, and bought a full size as a spare. This worked fine for a few years when I did a 5-tire rotation that moved tires from Driver to Pass as well as front and rear.
Today I had a blow out and they dont sell the old tire any more. The remaining four are all fair.
1. Is it a problem to get a single tire (same size) - both from a perspective of different tread wear and tread pattern? If not, anything I need to consider for rotation?
2. If a single is a problem, and I get a pair of the same on each axle (ie., throw out one "fair" tire), do I need to stop the normal 5 tire rotation? Do I keep the two new tires always on the same axle and rotate the 3 old tires on the other?

Unlike most people, I didn't get my driver's license when I was a teen -- ager living with my parents . Now I'm interested in getting my driver's license, but I don't know whose car I'm going to use to take the driver's test . My parents are both dead, so they can't help me out . Letting someone use your car to get his driver's license is a BIG FAVOR ! Now -- How can I get around this obstacle, and finally get my driver's license ?

My friend's driver's license was revoked, and I haven't gotten mine yet . My friend has to go see a doctor in another town, and I might like to be driven across the state to visit my aunt . It's hard for us to find a friend to drive us, even if we pay for the gas and buy him dinner . I'm not ready to hire a full -- time chauffer, but an unemployed person might be willing to drive us on a long trip if we pay for the gas, buy him dinner, and gave him twenty -- five dollars . How do I go about making that offer, and how do I find the person I'm looking for ?

My husband and I were involved in a car accident in June. It was not our fault (other person accepted full liability). Our car was totaled and has already been taken care of by the other insurance company. We were minorly injured and received medical treatment. The settlement offer just came in from their insurance company (Shelter). They will pay medical bills, time off work and threw in $400 for each my husband and myself. Is the $400 "extra" dollars normal? Should it be more or less? We have never had to deal with insurance companies before so have no clue what to expect for anything. Thanks for any insights.

I'm shopping for either a Corolla or Civic. Both dealers where I live won't sell either car for at or below MSRP. They want between $500-$1500 over because they almost never have any on the lot! That is just nuts! Most people can get a civic or corolla at about $1000 below MSRP.

So I want to shop and order one online or from a discount dealership. Anyone know of any good ones?

Ok my car is a 97 plymouth breeze with a 2.0 Engine...it has been jumping/jerking as you are going down the road regardless if u are pressing the gas or not! The check engine light flashes whenever the car jumps/jerks. Also when u first start the car the RPM cage will jump like u are pushing on the gas and u can hear the car make a noise as if u were accelerating- while that is happening if u change into reverse or drive the car will die completely. Also it has recently started not wanting to start! =( my car is always doing something but now no one can figure out the problem!! I let it sit an drove a relative vehicle and the first couple weeks after it had sat it appeared to be better...drove perfectly .....now its doing it again!!

I have changed the air filter, oil- oil filter, were are going to do the spark plugs this week, I have put engine cleaner thru the gas, gas cleaner....umm...the transmission fluid has been checked....
Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

And the idle is really, really bad. It sounds like a lawn mower. I have no idea what is wrong, but can I take it to Jiffy Lube and have them fix it? I don't know any mechanics, and I don't want to get ripped off. I just want it fixed!
