Ok my car was in an accident and claimed as a total loss. I was given a rental car and to wait out the check. I didn't want to be without a car when the check arrive so i was looking for deals on cars and ended up buying one before recieving the check which they said was on its way. Now its feet dragging and sign this and that. I wanted to know since i have a car now and turned the rental car in can they pay me for me using my car? since i technically should still be in my rental.

I have a Triple A (AAA) Plus membership, I'm 23.
Been renting cars 3 times with Hertz in Ohio, and they never added me the under 25 fee.

Did they forget the 3 times? (doesnt sound likely)
Does the AAA membership always waive that fee?

Thanks

Uusually the planes prepare to fly or land from the west end of the runway but occasionally they reverse this measure during the day and they prepare to fly or land from the easterly direction.

Anyone know why they change during the day?

I have 1999 Toyota Corolla. My wife rear-ended a pickup truck with it's gate down and crumpled the hood and front end of the car. At the very least, It will need a new hood, right fender, right headlight kit, bumper, front grill, and radiator. I don't believe there is any major engine damage except for the radiator. (Though, the mountings for the radiator are severely displaced.)

What is a guess-timate on what that will cost to have it fixed?

A replacement (used) car will cost as much as $6000. Should I go ahead and get a quote to fix the Corolla? (i.e. is there any chance the repairs will be less than the cost getting a replacement car?)

Also, what can I expect if I sell the Corolla for parts. It has brand new brakes (ironically... I had spent $500 on new brakes the same day she had the accident).

What would you do?

How hard is it to swap a three speed manual out of a 1966 Mustang and replace it with a 5 speed tremec. I know the bellhousings have the same bolt pattern and see A LOT of old Mustangs with this conversions.

I have a 2002 4-wheel drive Ford Explorer. I keep hearing this clicking noise whenever I slow down and come to a stop. It sounds as if something is stuck in my tire, but we've looked and we don't see anything. I used to hear it only in the front passenger tire, but now I hear it in both front tires. I don't notice anything else. My truck still sounds and feels like it always has when driven, other than that clicking. At first I thought it could be my brakes because of only hearing it when coming to a stop, but the last few days, I hear it when just slowing down too, when I don't even hit the brakes. I don't see any wires hanging down either, so what in the world could it be? My husband says he's thinking it might have something to do with the 4 wheel drive, but how could that be unless I'm actually trying to use it (which I haven't been, of course). We did have to get the transmission rebuilt before, could it have something to do with that?

I recently purchased a 05 plate used VW golf 2.0 SDi .
There is a noticeable noise on start up which only occurs a few times, it sounds like a cross between a 'whooping and clanking' noise. It only does this about twice and it clears after about 30 sec.


The garage says it is the air-con pump and it is fine.
Has anyone heard of this, or should I get them to investigate it further?

I find that seeing people merging in the last possible moments, cutting off other drivers, running amber signals, turning left after the light turns red are all really getting to me. I feel I used to be a cautious driver but seeing people actually getting ahead by being aggressive has made me drive more aggressively as well. I feel that by being safe and nice, you really get screwed. It actually scares me to see this change in own behaviour. Am I the only one who feels this way. There seems to be a complete breakdown of order in our roads.

Engine starts right up but as soon as fired up slowly runs down and stops. Will prime again and restarts easly but stalls again. Will not continue to run no matter what. Unable to keep running even if increasing throttle. Replaced fuel pump diaphragm with no results. Seems to run down quicker than using up the fuel in the bowl.
