Cars & Transportation - 11 September 2007

I live in Chennai (a metropolitan city in India). One thing causes me severe pain in my mind is rash driving on road by drivers of various vehicles like two wheelers, three wheelers, cars, mini trucks, buses, lorries and who not? It appears that almost all, once on road, appear to think that they are on a race track. There is unnecessary over-speeding by them causing risk to themselves and also others. During a normal day time, it has become very annoying to drive a vehicle on the road. We come across many reports of fatal accidents due to such rash, negligent and irresponsible driving. Here there are no separate lanes and all types of vehicles use the same road in a zig-zag manner. I certainly feel that many fatal accidents and resultant deaths can be averted if the motorists/drivers behave responsibly and drive their vehicles within speed limits and care for other vehicles on the road. But that doesn't appear to happen. I do not understand why people are so rash drivers?

Anyone have an idea why my chevy 350 would buck and missfire under load? Wires/cap/rotor/plugs less than a year old. No check engine light either. Ignition module? It's a 1994 Chevy 2500 P/U with a TBI 350. Any help would be appreciated.

Looking for something small and cheap but also reliable. Would like to spend around $5000 and I know that's not much but I've actually found a lot of vehicles in this price range so I know I can find something. Any advice? Been looking at the Rav 4, Ford Escape, 4 Runner, Jeep Grand Cherokee...etc...Just need something that will be reliable for the next few years. Not much longer then 2 or 3 years so that's why I'm looking for something cheap!

When I first got my car everything worked fine, until here recently I went to turn on my a/c and it didnt work, so I turned it to the heat and it didnt work either. The blower only worked when I turned the dial to 4. I dont think It would be my switch b/c if you have the windows down and the radio off you can hear the engine and everthing under the hood turn on, it's just that the blower wont turn on. So can someone please help me because It's too hot to even have ur windows down, and I really would love to have a/c in my car.

I'm thinking a back-fire into the crankcase. It was quite a violent sound. I was trying to get onto a plane but the load was too far aft and we had been sitting on low revs for an extended time.

How do I get the thing home by driving it? The car will not be in my name yet and I actually plan on driving it straight to the Clerks office in my city to get the title transfered as well as tag. Problem is though, the tag I will put on the car expired in July. Do I need to get that renewed first? I do not have the car the tag is registered to anymore, does that matter?

While researching cars for a new car, I noticed that the est MPG for the '07 model is 38/40 but the '08 model is only 33/34. Now why would Toyota reduce the MPG by almost 6 mpg with the new model? Hmmmm?
