Cars & Transportation - 12 September 2007

So finally I decided to find out how my car does on gas....I am not sure if it's good or not.

I get 8.4 km/l or 19.8 miles per gallon.

I drive a Infiniti G35 coupe.

Last night i going down the M6. I was doing 80mph which i know i shouldn't be doing but anyway. I had just got in 2 the middle lane, after being in the left due to a lorry. This was at night so it was very dark and there were not many motorway lights. In the distance all i could see was clean road with a free lane, no cars in it pretty much to the horrizon to the motorway. There were only 2 lorrys, in the left lane and nuthing on the outside. Any way i was approaching the lorrys, then at the VERY LAST MINUITE i could see a bmw in front of me proberly about meters ahead in the middle lane, that had NO REAR LIGHTS!!! and from what i could see after was a black car aswell. In avoidance of the car there was not enuth time to brake so i had to swerve right into the outsite lane, which left me heading into the central reservation, then i had to sharply swerve left to avoid it. Somehow thank god i managed straightened up my wheels and there was no accident! Still dont no how my car kept grip!

did you know him/it that in Swiss he is building the longer railway gallery to the world?
it is long 57 Km. = 35,41 miles against the old gallery of 15 Km. = 9,32 miles. It is a very ambitious project and around to the center of the gallery there will be a railway station with a lift that will climb for 800 ms. = 2624 feet up to reach the surface of the alpis where a ski footstep there will be!!!

There are here in dance 3 world records:

1° the longest gallery of the world
2° the railway station to greater depth
3° the lift with greater journey of route

the all with the cost of 30'000'000'000 of FrS. against the 9'000'000'000 that you/they had been esteemed.

the Japanese tourists will be happy to photograph!

The wiggle can be felt at low speeds, about 40 to 50 kph. The car's a Honda Ascot 1989 model, and it drives perfectly straight ( which as I understand it means there's no alignment problem). Could the wiggle be eliminated by having the 2 rear tires balanced as well? Or would it mean a bigger problem in the suspension or steering system?

Lord have mercy! My wife and I were talking about buying a second car so that when I get back from Iraq, I would have my own set of wheels. So my big gripe about this is that I have been in Iraq for 12 months and I really don't want to get stuck driving an old lady car. A family member offered to sell us a 1993 Buick Century Custom for $1,000.00. Only has 77,000 miles on is and is in PERFECT condition 4cyl, power everything. Now my problem it is not what I want, but financially it makes sense to get because of the condition, mileage, and gas mileage (21city 28 highway). So they question here is whether or not to get the buick or get the car that I want (2004 VW GTI for 8,000 with 65,000miles on it...gas mileage is like 31highway and being in the Army I travel alot). I know I sound like a whinny kid but I am just sick of hearing the "do what you want" line..Lol..Help me please?

My partner has just replaced the radiator in my Peugeot 106, 1.5 Diesel (1998). He has gone out and told me that I have to now put the anti freeze in it. I have no idea how much to put in (apparently is a mix with water....) and I cant find the details in the handbook (the handbook I have isnt specifically for the 106).

Also (this is silly) I presume I pour in the anti freeze and then top up with water.....

I have no idea!
Help!!!!!!

Rubbing Compound vs. Clay Bar vs. Turtle Wax ICE Liquid Clay Bar. I heard WD-40 will take off the clearcoat, and using acetone might mess up the original paint as well. I really don't wanna screw this up. I'm helping out this girl that I kind of like.

emergencies might be an acceptable answer, but then why the large gap between the maximum speed and the speed limit?

I bought an Altima coupe and I do indeed love it, but my car has had way too many problems in 3 weeks. I had the dashboard break on my twice (still broken, they didnt fix it yet) and during that time period, I was not able to use my speedometer either (mph bar stayed at 0). Obviously.. my car had some issues. I was actually offered a brand new coupe with a v6 engine from another nissan dealer, in exchange for mine and some money. I paid aprox. 31k for the total including warrnties, tax, and I financed. I found out I got a pretty bad APR (8.9%) for such good credit (over 700). The other dealer said I may be losing some money by trading the coupe in.. but it would be made up for because I would be getting 1.2% APR from this dealer. I was also told that I have the right to return my vehicle because it already had 2 problems that endangered me as a driver (because I could not see how many mph I was at) and also 1 minor problem with the tires. What are my options. I am seriously not pleased

Ok, so my moms volvo has no key locks on the out side to unlock the doors. It's a 2005, you use the key fob to unlock the doors. problem is my mom has locked her keys inside the car and there is not a second set. AAA come out and they can not open the door because of how it is designed. nothing a lock smith can do and the dealer can't send anyone out until friday. Is there any other solution other then breaking the window to get in to this car? Sometimes wish volvo had something like on-star for cars like this. HELP!
