Cars & Transportation - 18 September 2007

I was injured badly enough to require surgery that I am still not fully recovered from and haven't worked for the past 10 months since the accident. I've lost so much because of someone crashing into us! Time with my son, my family, my job, and a lot of use out of my writing arm.

i have a 1971 dodge demon and it will be needing new glass soon. i was wondering if like (this might sound crazy) you can put bulletproof glass on the windshield and windows. like it doesnt have to be bulletproof but maybe some type of clear plastic or somethin, for instance the stuff in back of a cop car seperating the front and back seats. is there anythin that is strong that is clear like glass and that you can customize to fit on your car?

I own a 96 pontiac sunfire SE with the 2.4. I have a manual transmission. It has 160,000 miles on it. I have kept it up as it breaks down and tuned it up as needed, well just recently I ran into a problem with it skipping, so i replaced the spark plugs, the coil pak, the spark plug boots, AND cleaned the throttle body. Well, it ran ok for a while until recently... When i start it it runs fine, but when i get it up to temperature, leave it in 5th gear and give it any more than a quarter throttle, it skips at random (My friend described it as my car hickuping).Now to stump you... it runs fine when i get it above 3000RPM's (so why don't I just shift it down... REFER TO MILEAGE) so I don't have a clue... PLEASE HELP and i think i need to clean my EGR Valve, that is what my local mechanic (gpa) says is the problem but i think otherwise and neither of us have ever cleaned an EGR Valve so please explain....
Thanx

I recently bought a windshield sprayer replacement (the one that sits on the hood for most cars), and this one includes a blue LED light, so how do i connect that so that it lights up. ( it says to connect to the 12V battery source, where is that?)

Ok, so my parents want to get me a new car, probably a 2007/2008 Hyundai Tiburon, so I can have it through out college and because it has a 10yr warranty. The only problem is I don't really want that car. I mean its great to get a new car, don't get me wrong, and its really nice looking, but there are cars that I like more, such as the 1994 Nissan 240SX convertible. I also don't want them to buy it for me and I know that sounds weird, but I want to buy my own car so I can appreciate it more, because I paid for it myself. They also don't want me to buy my own car because it would take away from my "college spending money". I have about 4G's in the bank now and I know I have enough to buy one. This why I need help. How can I convince my parents to let me buy my own car of the kind I want?

Thanks,
BDD

I live in Santa Clara, CA. Some days ago, a bastard hit my car and ran away. I lost my left mirror because of the accident. Anyway, I need to buy a new mirror. I went to a Ford dealer shop, the price of the mirror was $159. It's too expensive, I think. Do you know how to buy a cheap one? any shops around here? Every time I drive my car, I feel like I lost my left eye.

About 2 years ago my Cherokee began shifting funny. I checked my tranny fluid and found there to be none showing on the dipstick, so I added a few quarts. A day or so later I was on my way somewhere and as I was leaving a town, trying to pick up speed, the Jeep started losing speed. I pulled it over and turned it off, then tried restarting it and pulling away. I couldn't move forward or reverse, it was like there was no transmission there. I checked the fluid again and it showed none. In these few days I had never noticed any puddles or spots under my Jeep so I haven't a clue where the fluid was going. I had to have my dad pull the beast to my work where it sat until I had time to haul it home. My dad has looked into the problem and has come to the conclusion that the neutral safety switch is the problem. He said it is impossible to take out forward and reverse gears together, that when a tranny goes the gear you are in is what goes. Someone please shed some light on the problem!!

Im 18 and been looking for a car found camaro RS for 500 but it need a fuel relay. Contacted the guy via email and saw some pictures. Seems all right I am interested in going to check it out

Insuarnce quotes: I dont how but farmers gives me the basic basic allowable for VA for 110 a month (Someone likes me)
Yet I change the car to another one it around the same. that is strange.

I am really interested in getting this car and fixing it up. Guy says its the fuel relay and the car shows all the symptom of that problem, (sp?)

what do you guys think?

and has anyone dealt with third gen camaro and have worked on them? please give me some tips in looking for one

I have three cars, junkers.... but paid for cars, liability on all 3 (no collision). I really dont care if one of them goes up in flames or rolls into a ditch while I'm not in it as long as no-one is hurt. Now... I can only drive one at a time. Why do I have to have all three insured? Why cant I (me, myself; the driver) be insured instead for damage that I might cause, and the insurance follows me to whatever car I drive? I live in Connecticut, the insurance capital of the world (which may have something to do with it).
Thanx!
