I am in the process of buying a car,and I plan to do a lot of highway driving in it.Several years ago, I had the problem that I had the wrong tires on the car that I had then, and then kept blowing out on the highway.What do I need to know when purchasing tires for my car, knowing that I am going to spend a lot of time driving on the highway?

my mum has a policy with norwich union which shes had a few years and im the only named driver. about a month ago at renewal i wrote to them to say we didnt need the policy any more. my mother has dementia and im now taking my own policy. i didnt hear anything and they took the direct debit out. i rang them this morning to ask what was happening first thing was they said i cant write as its a phone company only, i didnt know that as i didnt take the policy out. then they passed me to someone in india who said only my mother could cancel the policy theres nothing he could do and he needed to speak to her. i explained that she has dementia and a. is not even here any more but in a home and b. that its unlikely she would even know what an insurance policy was let alone that she had one with norwich union. he could offer no solution and i said that i would then have to cancel the direct debit which i am able to do as her POA and let them cancel policy for non payment

So, how many non-truck drivers out there know how long it takes an empty tractor trailer at 55 miles per hour to come to a complete stop?? I know the answer, so whoever answers correctly first, I will be choosing that as top answer.

...without buying rear toe arms? Or is it a non-adjustable setup. My toe is bad and I was wondering if it isn't adjustable, then why would the toe go bad? You can see that the front of the tire is not aligned with the rear of the tire. What gives?

Both cars im looking at are low miles with under 100,000. Also there havnt been any major problems with them at all, the dealers claim. In your opinion are they reliable?

Ive just gotten my learners and really want to learn a manual.
Ive practiced steering and getting used to the brakes, speed etc with an auto. My dad reckons i should get used to and comfortable with an automatic for a month or so before i start on a manual.

Is what im doing good? or it best to completely start with a manual, so i dont get confused?

Say a small plane like a cessna from (for example) Texas to Ottawa (Canada)......does it make the most financial sense to actually fly it there? or how else is it done?
