cant find my key

2007-08-14 12:29:04 · 3 answers · asked by Jason C 1 in Other - Cars & Transportation

Am i worrying about nothing....

i had a car accident today, the side of my car was hit by a driver pulling out of a side street and they said they didn't see me.

1) It seems as though she will accept liability (i don't see how she could refuse liablity as only the side of my car and her front of hers is damaged and i sure as hell didn't slide the side of my car into the front of hers, lol!). Is there anyway she could try to blame me?

2) my insurance is up for renewal in the next 3 weeks, as this is not my fault (however it is not yet set in stone) and if they do accept liability is my insurance going to be affected in anyway, making it more costly?

please help... i am really worried (i'm a natural born worrier)!!!

I hate the fact that its LAW that you have to have Insurance
and Registration.

and do they really need to charge such a high fee to put your name in a goddamn computer???

Some of us cant afford to insure our cars, wtf are we supposed to do? Oh right...we are fined and have our
license taken away, i mean that makes alot of sense,
fine a person who is already so poor they cant afford
car insurance...aghhhhggghhh!!!!!

Is it like this in all states?

I recently changed my car insurance, on reciving the paper work I sat and read it through. I came across the question are you tea total? to which the answer had been set as yes. Well I'm not ( I drink with in the recomended guide lines) and I didn't recall having been asked this question when I applied ( and no I had not been drinking when I applied).
This was not the only question I had not been asked but the other answers happened to be correct. I rang up and poited this out and was told oh its ok thats the default answer, no explanation was given as to why it wasn't asked and my premium did not go up as a result.
Had I not spotted this "error" and then had an accident whilst under the influence would the insurers have refused to pay out on grounds of a false claim on the proposal form?

I have a 97 Jeep Cherokee Sport. I have noticed that things that are by the battery (electrical wire tubing, vacuum hose) are decaying very quickly...it's almost as if they are melting or having some sort of chemical spilled on them. I do not see any spillage, but there is a bunch of corrosion on the battery terminals that I have cleaned off many times before only to have it come back shortly.

This battery is relatively new (within the last few years). What is causing this?

I am trying to change the oil on the motorcycle myself, but everything I have doesn't fit. I do not own a service manual, two dealers have given me different answers. Can any of you out there tell me for sure, without a doubt?

I recently heard about most automatic cars since the 80's having a 'neutral safety switch' or something, usually located on the driver's floorboard, that can be activated to put the car in neutral when it can't be started. I have a 2003 Honda Accord LX. where would I find such a thing?

Deleting or Adding a Name on a Title
When it comes to adding a name to a title, you must jointly apply, in person, at any DMV office for a new title certificate by completing an aptly named Application for Title. Bring proper identification and check, cash, or credit card to pay the $50 fee.

To delete a name, the person exiting the title must sign off. The remaining owner must then bring the title to any DMV office along with proper identification and the $50 fee.

I recently(less than 8 months) got a new 350 put into my car and noticed that black smoke comes from the exhaust when ever you hit the gas petal, the more gas you give it the more smoke comes out. My friend said he thinks that maybe some of the rings have gone bad on the pistons, is this possible being such a new engine? How can I pinpoint the problem with out paying someone else to do a diagnostics? By the way it is carbureted. thanks

My friend wants to give me a car that's been sitting around for over a year. I don't know much about cars. It needs new tires and brakes, but I want to send it to Farm and Fleet for that, but what needs to be done to the car before I need to start it up. It'll need a new battery and an oil change. Does Farm and Fleet to oil changes? And what else should be done too?
