Hey there, I need a first car and I am already a decent driver so thats ok. Can't be more then about $8000. It doesn't matter if it is a 2 door or 4, I just want to be able to haul my friends around. I've been looking at the Nissan 300ZX twin turbo cars but they don't have back seats and the 2+2's only have 222 hp. I would like to have something with around 280hp and be able to haul my friends around when needed.

Any recommendations? Thanks!

I have a 96 ford explorer with 180,000 miles.For the past 2 weeks when I drive,its been acting up.I can get it up to 30 mph but then it starts to pull like it doesnt want to go any faster.But then If I let off the gas it kicks into 3rd gear and I can go 35-50 with no problem.could it be as simple as changing the filter or does it sound like the actual transmission is going out

I have a 2000 Hyundai Accent. For the last month there is a very loud humming noise coming from the right side of my car. When I turn left the noise disappears, when I turn right the noise intensifies. I had a mechanic friend of mine look at the car. He said my brakes and axel look great. He replaced a bearing leading to my tire. He was sure this is what was making the noise. Well it didn't work. The noise is still there. He is certain that its not my engine (the belts and hoses are in good shape). He thinks that when I had my transmission replaced in May that the mechanic may have done something to the undercarriage, when the transmission was dropped.. My friend doesn't do transmission work so he can't help. Does anyone have any ideas???? Has this ever happened to anyone???

I hit a deer (actually it hit me) and my passenger side bag deployed. I have seen kits sold on the interent that say you can recharge them for a fraction of the cost. I don't have insurance to cover this type of accident and the quote for getting the repair done is approximately $5000. Other damage includes a new hood, grill and possibly bumper. Oh and the seatbelt on the passenger side has to be retensioned.

Apparently with newer vehicles (mine is an Altima 2004) when one deploys you need to buy a set of airbags because they have to be reprogrammed together or something like that???

But, can you recharge the one and then get it reinstalled and then get the system reprogrammed?

Please help me if you can.

Say you have 4 lanes to go in pretty hard core traffic. I was told 1 mile? But, at that rate I usually miss my exit because idiots don't let me in.

Usually, when I'm stuck in a turn lane, I politely put on my flasher and wait for someone to let me in the straight lane.

But, today, no one was polite. And, the people behind me in the turn lane were honking. So, I advanced and ended up stuck in the intersection.

Why can't people just be polite? It's pathetic how seriously some people take driving.

I rear ended somebody at a stop light , going at about 5 m/h. So, basically scratched the other person's bumper. The person complained that she had pains. That nothing was considered an accident because the insurance spent a little more than $500 on the claim. Now, my insurance increases over $100.
Do you have any ideas of how to solves this thing?
thanks a lot

A stylish helmet and leather ensemble? The Star Trek like force field emitted from ultra-loud exhaust pipes? Or praying and an unshakeable belief that Jesus will be mercible. Before I ride I need to know. Thank you kind people and play nice.

I mean, when I drive in the street, I hear what I think is a lawnmower. I look to the side and it's either a Civic or Accord. They put ugly kits and exhaust that sound terrible, not even sporty! And they try to race you, thinking that they'll win. I drive a Subaru Legacy GT. But why do they think they're sporty, when they have a 1.8 L SOHC engine?

I have a 97 Accord, I've taken my car several times to get the boots, cv joints, or whatever the hell is up in the front to get fixed, the last time i took it, Honda said that they greased one side and that it was my transmission causing and making the same exact sound now. Are they feeding my bull ****?

I got this truck last year and it was in great shape. The previous owner took terrific care and kept up with the maintenance on it, he even gave me his very detailed maintenance log.

However, I didn't see an notes about having the clutch repaired, replaced, or serviced. Is there a certain mileage when I may want to get this very import part looked at?

I have a 1986 Honda VT700C Shadow. I love the bike but it is not tall enough for me. Sitting on the bike, the distance to the forward controls is too close. I have not been able to find forward control extension for this bike (too old). I was thinking of building a new seat pan and raising the seating position up and back. How does one fabricate a custom seat?
