Cars & Transportation - 30 July 2007

Well i did have it but it aint working and it will cost $1000 to fix. Is it possible to get a cooler for cars that you plug into your cigarette lighter? and when you are driving you can keep it open so the cold air comes out into the car? is that possible? and its not problem to always run it full force while you are driving right, because it runs on your alternator right, and your alternator keeps going forever right??? or should i buy a $100 square air conditioner and plug it into an inverter? and please dont say to roll down the windows, as it doesnt keep you cool enough and is extremely irritating for long periods and you cant hear your music. thanx!!

I have a 1999 Honda Civic EX with 215K miles. I am reasonably good at checking and changing fluids periodically, and the car has lasted this long without any major repairs.

However, no matter whether the car is hot or cold, the coolant resevoir has always been empty. And the radiator has always been full (coolant to the very top when I remove the cap). I thought the resevoir should fill up (slightly) when the engine has been running, because the coolant has expanded... but it never seems to.

Should I be concerned? Thanks for any input.

I live in Hawaii and I'm moving off the island in two weeks to start a new job back on the mainland. I have a 2001 Mitsu. Galant with 62000 miles on it!!! I have a limited time to sell it and I'm growing desparate!! I've put it in the paper, posted flyers all over the island and posted it on cars.com and craigslist!! I've only had one offer!! I heard that as a last resort I could probably sell it to a used car dealership... But I don't wanna get a crappy price for my car. Does anyone know how I can sell my car quickly for a decent price??

My 98 Ford Escort has a cassette tape deck and I want to replace it with a CD player deck but I noticed it's connected to the AC by a faceplate. So what would be a compatiable CD player deck I could install and would fit? I would guess I would need a new faceplate.

Thanks.

so i got into a car accident in the middle of june, and the stupid lady that hit me did not end up having insurance. so i have to pay out of pocket (my deductible) to get the damages to my car fixed. im scheduled to go in tomorrow to get it appraised..

she told me to bring my registration and my license, but there is only one problem: i dont have a license right now. my license was suspended a couple weeks ago and i wont get it back until october. how can i get around this? should i just call my insurance and tell them ahead of time? because i still have my policy, and by law, they should still hvae to fix my damages i would think... ? :(

A friend of mine insists that it is hard on a car's power steering system to turn the front wheels when the car engine is on but the car is stationary. Obviously, twisting the steering wheel back and forth in this situation would be abusive, as would be too much lock-to-lock turning. No, we are talking about turning/straightening the wheels in a parking space, or turning the wheels in order to leave a parking space, but before the car has begun to move. I think the system is robust enough and designed for these applications and that such use does not constitute abuse. FYI - the car in question is a 2004 3-series BMW.

I moved New York state and bought a 99 Buick Century from a dealer (with 1 month warranty) 4 months ago. Recently the check engine light of the car was on, so I went to a repair shop. However, the problem is not fixed after several trials! First time they changed a gas pump neck, a few days later, the light on again. Then they told me the canister and valve has leak and changed that for me. These repairs cost me 600 bucks already, but a few days later, the light is on AGAIN. This time they told me something wrong with my gas pressure sensor and want to charge me ~$180 for that. And they just told me they can't guarantee what will happen in the future. It makes me feel so bad... Could you give me any suggestions? I appreciate it !!!

Or will they not turn over the title without payment in full? It's only worth $15k because of some bumper damage.

taking up the left and right lane, could you kindly try to picture
me behind a big crane, wisking your car up to the mighty heavens,
and picture me jolting your car while you are inside it, as I play bartender, pretending to mix up a drink

but, I'm really not

okay, so, thanks!!!
