I bought a used car last July that's nickel and diming me and now I'm ready for a new car. Final purchase price of the car was $17K total, including financing interest. Sticker was about $14K. This first year of ownership has cost me $6K, including down payment and monthly payments. However, Kelly Blue Book trade in value for my vehicle right now is a miserable $7K. So, even if I sold my car now for $7K, I'd still owe about $2K on the loan I'd have to pay out of my own pocket. And, on top of that I'd have no car. Any help in how I might get a new car and make it work financially?

This question is about bad drivers out there. This morning, I was driving up a street with 2 way traffic. There are metered parking areas on both sides. This lady in her BIG truck was facing the wrong way in the meter on the right lane. I was driving up like anyone would and all of a sudden she decides she wants to pull out of that parking spot, which would mean she'd be pullling out on the wrong side of traffic direction. She raises her arms in anger as if she were saying, "What the hell are you doing, can't you see I'm coming out?" Like, HELLO......who is she to be doing that? I should be the one raising hell on her for driving stupid on the wrong side and expect me to give her the right of way if I'm already riding in the flow with no traffic lights or stop signs. Is she crazy or what? She should go to traffic school and practice the laws of driving. Oh, and just because she's driving a big, heavy duty truck doesn't mean she owns the road. What are your thoughts?

Hi - please help me.

I'm looking at learning to drive very soon - but somebody has just mentioned something about a new scheme thats coming in in England which will make me have to learn to drive for a year before I can pass?

Does anybody have any information - or links about this? I cant seem to find it on the DVLA website.

This question is really only to those in England please (not to be rude, but it changes in different states etc)

I have a 2003 Lincoln Navigator. It is a Super car and only goes to the shop for maintenance; however, lately I have been hearing a noise coming from the rear end.

For instance, when I turn, I hear a sound, kind of like a BBQ Gas tank rolling from the center to the side if you would leave it in your trunk loose. And when I turn the other way I hear the same thing. I also hear it when I break!!

I parked the car in my driveway and emptied the car completely. I mean, I took out trash, bags, toys, and pencils, you name it, it is out. I also checked the under belly of the car and saw nothing loose including the spare tire compartment.

Then this morning, I made my first turn and PrrrrrRoll-LLLLL

What da!!! (I said!) What the hell is it?

Help!

on a 2000 chevy malibu
when the garage returned it to me the check engine light was on... They told me it was the mass airflow sensor code .. They said it should go off after driving it for a while.... When I take off a few seconds after the second I stop pressing the gas the car jerks hard as if I hit the breaks .. Is this going to stop after driving a while???

Does anyone know, when were lines first placed on the Ford Mustang GT and what are the classic design of the lines?

See my husband and I are ina controversy. We have a Mustang GT 2006. He wishes to place the 2 wide lines on the car, because he says that this is the classical design for a Mustang GT. I on the other hand prefer no lines, but if he is going to put lines on the mustang I prefer that hey be the one that is 1 wide line in the middle and 2 thin lines on each side of the wide line. He (my husband) says that this is not part of the classical design.

Can anyone please shed some light on this matter?

Okay, so my friend who crashed my car into the curb will be paying and he told his parents. He wants to, though, cover it with insurance and then his parents will pay if it's not possible. The repairs will be pretty price-y (The car hit the curb behind the front right tire so the entire right front side (07 civic -____-!) of the car bent upward/forward, the pieces behind the side mirror popped out with the movement, the black thing under the bumper came out and a buncha other crap too. And, the washer fluid did something funky.)
What is the most reasonable option: insurance or just cash?
