Cars & Transportation - 4 September 2007

Last year, my boyfriend bought me a car. I can't drive so he thought I could have a practice in the car he bought me. He knows I am scared of learning to drive so he said I can learn once I am ready. But the other day, he talked about doing it up and selling it! I know this might sound crazy but this hurt me as he said it was mine and I want to be able to drive I just need that bit of confidence to push myself. He used to push me and now he wants to sell it because it's "sat there collecting dust." Why would he encourage me one minute and then suddenly tell me we should get rid?

Hello,
I have heard and seen ppl use 1/2 quart of tranny fluid to a tank of gas in a *fuel injected only* vehicle. I already know it wont harm the engine as ive witnessed it numerous times so please dont anyone reply with the usual "OMG DONT PUT THAT IN THERE!!! itll kill your engine!!!" which is usually based on opinions and not personal experience. My question lies as follows.. What advantages are there of using the correct ratio of tranny fluid to gas as compared to using say "sea foam" or any other fuel injection cleaner? Also has anyone found the tranny fluid to work better?
Thank you
PS.. I didnt try to come across as a jerk but with every question Ive asked I always get someone who is trying to be the smart one and using opinions to say " NOOOO thats bad" just wanted to let you know that no i will not be swayed from using it but if theres a better alternative with some other fuel additive Id compare the 2 and come up with a conclusion.. Thank you once again

What kind of papers do you have to sign? Do you have to go to the courthouse or anything? Do we have to pay taxes or do they?

just so everybody knows the alternator doesn't have anything to do with starters... it runs on electromagnetic current which the lines of flux are cut only when the rotor is spinning to induce a voltage. on a DC generator is the only situation when the starter and generator are even related... so why is it such a common misconception that when a car goes click when you crank it your starter is to blame? who ever told you that? the battery is the only thing that runs the starter...

My sister and her husband both have new trucks. She is no longer working. Each one of them pay $500 a month a pc. truck notes.
She is very upside down in hers, is needing to get rid of it.
Her payments are $535. monthly for another 4 yrs.
We are discussing giving her my 97' GMC Jimmy and then just taking over the payments(still in her name ) . She owes $19,000 and the truck is Blue Booked @ $11,000.
We wouldnt put it in our name... just leave it in hers. So she wouldnt hurt her credit..
What is your opioion?

I need to buy a tire and have it put on but I'm not sure where to get this done as it will be my first time. I don't know if Walmart is fine. Do they have tires for sale at such places as Jiffy lube, and Valvoline? Where do you get yours done? Please tell me where you think the best place is. Any other information you can add will be appreciated.

This is more of a statement then a question because I didnt get a chance to respond. It seemed like some people may have though the 1983 Nissian 280zx electramotive turbo that had 700hp and a 140mph 1/4 mile time was a factory produced vehical. This is absolutely not the case, this car was a race car that was NEVER offered to the public and was never a factory produced car for the public. Like stated, there is was never a stock factory produced Nissian 280zx turbo that is capable of a 140mph 1/4 mile speed. It would be like when some one asks the question "whats faster, a new ZO6 corvette or a ford edge" and some one answers "the ford edge would because it is a 800hp car" because they included the nascar versions. Now come get your easy two points and an additional 10 for some one.
