Cars & Transportation - 8 September 2007

Stop-start cars are the latest thing in Europe. Apparently, fuel savings of up to 15% and carbon emission reductions by 10% are possible with such cars. Will switching off your car's engine at the traffic lights have the same effect, or is it something to do with the particular technology?

From what I've heard, they grill you like a tuna steak on the oral portion of the ATP checkride. Can I get away with memorizing just the text or will I be asked to match the text with the exact FAR section and subsection?

This is like trying to memorize the Bible word-for-word. Those of you who have earned your ATPs deserve to be canonized.

I have been considering buying a Chrysler Town & Country minivan, or a Dodge Caravan. I have read that they are built poorly with lots of problems, clear through the 90's till today. The internet reviews are horrendous with people claiming that they are cheap and poorly built, with transmission, and break problems, and shoddy craftsmanship, cheap leather and seating, and malfunctioning doors and electrical systems. Can anyone give me some input on their experiences with these vehicles? I have also heard the gas milage is horrible, and that the Chrysler Corporation does not stand behind its products, and that their dealers do not know how to fix these vehicles when they need it. I love their models of minivans, but are they junk? Are they a mistake to buy? Are other minivans better? Thanks!

I have a '54 Chevrolet Del-Ray that I bought for $3,100 and I have put a little work into it, but it is taking up too much space and I have to get rid of it. The engine is a 235 6 cylinder with 67,000 original miles and it runs (fairly, but it runs) The body was re-painted to original color and is flawless. The stainless trim is a little banged up and needs repair, but there is almost no rust on it because it was garaged all these years. The only rust it has is a few small spots in the trunk. There is no carpeting and the upholstery needs completely replaced, which I was quoted $1,100 to fix. Other then what I have mentioned, the car is in great shape. I have whitewall tires with good tread and 4 extra new tires. I don't know where to look to get an accurate appraisel for it and I don't want to be ripped off.

Hey Guys

There is a constant noise coming from my car (99 corolla) when I accelerate. It gets louder as push the gas peddle (even if I do it parked). Folks on Yahoo Answers have come up with couple of suggestions already about what might be wrong. Obviously the car needs an inspection by a mechanic. I live in cupertino, ca area. Any suggestion which is the best car repair shop around? Appriciate any help.

Thanks
