Cars & Transportation - 9 August 2007

my car runs good had it up to 139 km with power to spare. In the mornings though it will lose power sometimes, where I can't get it up to 90 km per hour. it will just kick down and rev high but not accelerate and even slows down. So I will pull over and wait for a bit , start it up and it will run fine or do the same thing later on. Its not hesitating or stalling but I can feel the power lose in the gas pedal. 1.6 liter carburated engine, 3 speed automatic, oil and coolant are fine.No clue why

Gas at my local walmart (murphy usa) is about 10cents cheaper than the other gas stations around. Is the gas watered down or anything like that?

people speed in work zones?
It makes me so mad when I'm going the speed limit posted in a work zone and people fly around me or tailgate. It's the speed limit! How would they feel if someone they loved got killed in a work zone because someone else didn't show enough consideration to drive the speed limit? The speed limit is there for our benefit and that of the construction workers.

They are terribly hard to find, even for more than 20K. Anybody know of any?

I was hit from behind while at a stop light (in California). I did everything I was supposed to (stopped and waited). This lady slams into me. We exchange info and she accpets responsibilty. Now her insurance (Progressive) claims they can't pay the entire cost of the repairs and a rental for me while mine is the shop. This due to her policy only covers up to $5,000.00. They told me I have to go through my insurance (which means $500.00 copay and no rental car help) and my insurance would get the $5000.00 and no more. Which means I am paying around $2000.00 for someone slamming into me when I shouldn't have to pay anything.

Has this happened to anyone else? Is it worth getting a Lawyer and pressing charges?

Does anyone know what states don't care about a suspended lisence in Massachusetts? I know that all of New England is linked but what about California or other states or other countries. Any input is greatly appreciated.

I need to be at JFK very early tomorrow. Last time I had to be there early, I got to the Goethals Bridge and had to sit around for 30 minutes until they finished up the construction.
This was the only info I could find on the construction. If I'm reading this correctly, there should NOT be construction tonight, so the bridge should be open as normal tomorrow morning (ie. before 5:00 am).

Can anyone confirm that the bridge will not be closed due to construction tomorrow morning?

Thanks!

Does mustard seal leaks around your water pump? A lady I work with is having water pump problems with a van she bought from a guy we both work with. He told her to put mustard in it. I think he's full of sh*t. What do you guys think

I have mazda pick up. Recently, it started to make a squealing noise around right passanger wheel when car goes up and down the bumps. The noise also happens when if I put my weight and shake the front right side of the car up and down. In other words, sound goes out only when the wheel ( car ) moves relatively fast vertically.
Do you know what is the problem ? What part do I need to replace/What should I do to fix the problem?
Thank you.

So I can avoid paying the forthcoming "pay as you drive" toll system? I've heard they cost about £700, but will pay for themselves quickly.

I want to get the kenwood mp435u, which has a USB on the front, but in order to use it with the ipod connector cable, you have to conect the cable to a pin-port on the back AND the USB on the front, which would look bad and means I couldn't use the USB port (the reason im buying this model).

my question is, can I simply not hook the usb portion of the cable and waive the ability for the tags to show up on the stereo and just manually choose the songs. when i connect the connector to the ipod, will it still charge and link the audio only?

In the beginning of the year I was in an auto accident and was side swiped. Their insurance sent me a check which I cashed, and I took my car to one of their concierge shops. When I cashed the check I kept the money (I now know that it was the check for the estimate). I got my car after a month and have been driving it ever since (a time span of 5 - 7 months). I got a call yesterday stating they needed that money back and that a Mechanics Lien would be placed on my vehicle if they didn't receive it. I've tried searching for this but it doesn't really make any sense on google. I thought once they gave you the keys and you left the property the vehicle was yours and they couldn't collect anything after that. It was my first auto accident so I thought the money was mine because the receipts they gave me for the fix came out to be more than I was given and they said that was all that was needed. I am confused. What is a mechanics lien and do I legally need to pay them back?

I understand the general idea, but what happens when something in the car breaks, or needs work? Who pays? What about things like new tires? What happens if you are in a car accident? If you aren't happy with the car can you get out of the lease early?

i have a 1994 olds cutlass. For the past 2 months it will say coolant level low, but i go fill it and it only adds a little if needed. The light for low collant level comes and goes as i am driving it, everyday. Today driving home, my check engine light came on and notice my car was overheating and the low coolant light was on. Then when i drove on , the temp dropped fast and went back to normal. Could it be the thermostat is bad, or maybe something is in the radiator blocking some flow?
