Cars & Transportation - 4 August 2007

Hi all. I was manually bleeding the coolant system and accidentally spilled a good amount of the coolant onto the engine and exhaust manifold. I couldn't clean out all of the spill. As I warmed up the engine, there was a substantial amount of white smoke coming from the engine bay so I quickly shut off in case it might spark a fire.

Is the coolant a fire hazard in this situation? Should I hose down the engine bay with water or just run the engine and burn off the coolant mixture?

You help is greatly appreciated!!

I'm car shopping i recently found a Chrysler that i wanted to purchase and the seller told me it makes noises when turning, due to the "strut springs". She said that the springs turn when you turn the car and reset and make a clunking sound when straightening out. Is this a common problem with Chryslers like the seller said or does it sound a little fishy? If it is a common problem will it create any real problems for the car in the future?

my dad keeps telling me that there's this one-day driver's ed program somewhere outside of town. do these even exist? i've done some research, and [in louisiana] you have to go through a 36-hour class before obtaining a learner's permit. my dad says that not all places abide by this rule.

he only wants me to take this class because it costs about $30. the
36-hour class i'd prefer to take costs $300.

i drive a honda civic hatchback 1995, 1.6LSi car.
the engine still runs like new as always, however it seems to be licking up engine oil. i have to top it up quite often.
my confusion is that i would have expected the car to be smoking if the engine had gone bad or at least the engine should give me another hint that it is now "tired". On contrary it keeps running like there ain't a problem.
would tuning fix the fact that the engine consumes a lot of oil, or would i have to replace the engine.
i don't wanna part with the car.
thanks

I got in a car accident in residential section at 3am this morning. I just called my insurance at 2pm and filed a police report over the phone. What are the chances of the police finding this guy who hit me? Will the police go to the location of the accident and invistigate the scene or look for witnesses or anything like that? What do the police actually do in the situation, is the police report basically just paper work that will get me no where?

The new car comes with road services and I do not really see why I need a AAA membership since I never benefited from motel discount anyways. Please advice.
