Why dont the goverments bring back fuel rationing to help save energy and the ozone. It would mean cleaner air to breath less traffic.

This lasts for less than a second and then the car will turn back on and drive like nothing happened.

Why does it take 7 business days for the auto body shop to fix my car? All for a dent in the hood and bumper. All they had to do was replace the hood and plastic front bumper. Paint the hood, re-assemble and Detail. It's as easy as 1 - 2 - 3. Why should this take so long? They should be able to do it in as little as 3 days if they actually wanted to work and get off their lazy butts. This is Los Angeles, why can't the workers hustle more out here? This is an outrage.

I have a 2004 BMW 325i wagon with the sports package. The low profile tires keep blowing, so I'm thinking of swapping them out for regular wheels and tires. Are the outer diameters of the two tires the same? Or are there other suspension parts I'll have to swap out as well?

My friend volunteered to change the oil, but he had also changed the transmission fluid. I noticed that when the car came to a stop that the car would start shaking and then it wouldn't accelaerate even though the RPM's would go. I would have to shut off the car and restart it for it to move. I also noticed that the oil level on the 1987 Nissan Maxima was low and when it would come to a stop, the oil level would go down further, but when I did get teh car to accelearte it would move back up. I initially thought it might have been that he either put the wrong type of motor oil or did not put enough motor oil. Is there a car expert who can tell me what this might be?

Pepboys has Baja Sports 50cc gas scooter for $700 (after $100 rebate). Is this a good deal?

Is it legal to drive the scooter on roads with 55mph limit? I know I can ride on 35mph roads but don't know about 55.

Is it easy to remove the speed governor so it can go 55mph?

why do people say make sure the engine is clean? what does having a clean engine tell the potential buyer about the car? how does a car engine become clean and not dirty?

OK heres the story, I have a 97 ford explorer 4dr with the 5.0 v8 w/ aprox. 88000 miles. Last friday before going to school it wouldn't start. At first i thought is was the security system b/c if you unlock the car then about 20 secs later is locks automatically and you can't start the car. So i got out and locked it and tried again but it still wouldn't work so i tried it one more time and the car started. It worked fine over the weekend because I used it to get gas and go to the gym. Over the weekend I put the alarm in valet (which is pretty much just shutting it off). This morning it did the same thing, and it won't start. I even tried again when i got home from school. The car doesn't even attempt to turn over i just turn the key and nothing happens! I think it may be the battery but the battery gauge still shows a little less than 1/4. The lights on the dash still go on and so do the lights in the back. No i didn't leave my lights on and run out the battery. Someone please help

My girlfriend always tends to close her eyes when shes passenger in the car whenever someone cuts me off or an aggressive maneuver has to be performed to avoid an accident.

Well she was in a car accident as a passenger. I wasn't driving. The driver hit a tree, my girlfriend had a punctured liver and a fractured back disc, nothing happened to the driver or the 3rd person in the back seat. Do you think if she had kept her eyes open she would've been able to anticipate the impact and do a better job bracing herself/ tensing up her muscles or hanging on to something?

If you close your eyes you can't anticipate anything so it seems you would be much more vulnerable.

Does this hold any truth?

Yesterday I took the car out, went into the store, came out and the car wouldn't start. (No, no lights were left on, I checked.) Nothing happened at all, some lights came on inside and then dimmed right away. I tried to get a jump and couldn't, and it seemed to be because of the corrosion on the battery. I got some help cleaning it off and connected the battery again. This time it took the jump and I was able to drive it home, letting it run for a bit before shutting it off. This morning I go out to start it up, same thing happens-- dashboard lights light up, starter clicks a bit, but nothing else happens.

Is this just a dead battery (I think it is about 5 years old and was pretty corroded before it got cleaned off), or could it be a problem with the alternator, and how can I tell? I'll be taking it somewhere to have it looked at eventually, but since I'll need a jump start to get it there, I can't really go anywhere yet so I'm trying to get an idea of what I should expect.
