Is it true that when you are driving a turbo charged car and you are going to put off the engine it is not advisable to switch off right away the engine. You wait for a minutes to switch off the engine. Why?

I just bought a car, and didn't have any before.
Before I drive it, I want to make sure I'm insured.
But I need to drive it soon.

Once I've chosen the insurance company, how long does it take to get started? Can the coverage start immidiately.

More specifically, I'm looking at AAA and the winner for consumerReports : Amica.

On August 1 I sued an ex friend of mine, whom I bought a car from and payed over 4,000 dollars to fix, because the car was salvage.Two years later the car never got fixed, and I went to him to try to get the car towed off his lot he told me that I actually should have paid more,after two yeas he brought this up out of nowhere, so i took him to small claims, and found out that he countersued me for 7500 dollars for storage charges, and harrassment, anyhow the judge ruled in my favor, in which the judgement declared that he must pay me 1200, the judge never ruled on who can keep the car, so I went back to the court and filed a another motion, the same judge ruled and explicitly says that the defendant must deliver the car to the plantiff, which was on 8/15/2007.I tried to reach him he said that i would have to wait until 30 days after the judgement, to enforce the judgement, I called the court and that again affirmed that I would have to have to wait until 30 days pass, to get my car,

this is gives the defandant the opportunity to appeal, so today, I get a notice that the defandant has put a lien on my car due to storage from the 8/15 when the judge originally ruled, and so my car will be sold on 9/17, and now I have a lien on my car, ny question is what can I do,? Can the police enforce a court order to get my car,Also I tried to contact the jerk, and told him that I would pay the storage fees, but he refuses! I'm in a bad situation..Help

My car has 123,000 miles on it.

I have a 1.6L engine with a 4-speed automatic with overdrive.

With the A/C off, it gets 24MPG; with the A/C on, it slumps down to 18-21MPG.

I have replaced my air filter and spark plugs; my fuel filter appeared to be okay.

My car is really slow. I have utility vans and buses pass me while I'm accelerating from a stop. It's not so bad without the A/C, but even then the acceleration isn't very good.

My engine is supposedly rated for 110HP, but it isn't putting out nearly as much; my girlfriend's Ford Probe has 110HP and it out paces my car without even trying. If you floor it, it downshifts and revs really loud but still hardly goes anywhere.

The engine sounds fine and doesn't sputter or anything. My parents' are getting 27MPG from their 2.4L '96 Altima and 27MPG from their 2.0L '90 Camry while I'm getting 18-21MPG from a 1.6L engine, the smallest of all of these.

It also goes down when i shift from first to reverse. Can any one give me an explination as to what might be causing this problem.

1991 Dodge Caravan 4cyl 2.5 runs good except when it is really humid. Then it will die. it will restart, but won't stay running if you press on the gas or put it in gear. But if you let it sit for awhile. It will start up and run perfect.

needed at 60,000 miles. What is involved in checking the timing belt and would it be better just to replace it if it is laborious to get to ?
Also, it says to adjust the bands on the transmission every 30,000 miles. How is this done ? The tranny appears to be making a whining noise now at 82,000 miles .....

Also, the car is shimmying at about 50 mph ... what could be causing this ???
