the light is green, an intersection is coming up and all cars are moving. all of a sudden you hear an ambulance but it's still not in site yet. car1 and 2 are in the center lane. car1 decides to stop, while in the center lane, and already passed the pedestrian crossing lines. (basically she's practically in the middle of an intersection) car2, a working van carrying heavy equipment, breaks but with all it's weight it slides and still hits car1. who is at fault? is car1 supposed to yield and pull over to the right after the intersection or is the law "if you hit someone from behind you are automatically at fault"?

I would like to buy a custom paint job for my car. The problem is at the parking lot of my office cars are often keyed. If I was to get a paint job it is more likely that my car will be keyed. Will the people who paint it have a warranty that will cover cars getting keyed or will my insurance cover it?

I was driving and the temperature gauge went up but I was only a couple miles from home so I continued on hoping to check the antifreeze when I got there. Right before I made it smoke started pouring out from the hood so I stopped and turned off the car for a few minutes then drove home very slowly. When I got home I looked under the hood and it seemed like maybe the radiator was discolored (white) and there was green coolant leaked out and in small puddles. Is this really a busted radiator and is it ruined? If not, approximately how much is it for a new one and is it easy to replace?

Hello, ok here is the deal. My car stinks. I dont know where it is coming from, I have checked every darn area of my car and trunk and there is a pungent funk that makes me gag. I dont know where it is coming from but maybe the rear of my car as it kinda seems stronger from the trunk.
Does anyone know where this smell could be coming from?

I’ve heard that car dealerships have a two-thousand dollar negotiating window. If I buy a car for twenty-seven thousand I could possibly get it for twenty-five? How is this possible, and is this even true. Of course I’ve heard of negotiating with the dealer, but I never knew I could negotiate this low. Can I add in tax/title/miscellaneous in the price? Also, if I get a twenty-seven thousand dollar loan, and take this to the dealer after negotiating to twenty-five thousand, can I send the remaining two-thousand back to the loan company?

Thanks

Ok, I think I was basically "talked into" buying an extended auto warranty. It's 7 yrs/100,000 Platinum Coverage with a $0 deductible. It's supposed to cover the engine, transmission, electrical, a/c, lots of stuff. It cost $1,560 and was added into the amount I financed.

I was thinking about canceling but the dealer probably would not be very helpful.

So, now that I have this warranty, do you think it's worth it anyway?

One bright spot is that in the event that I NEVER have to use this warranty, I get my $1500 back. Of course, that's after I pay interest on it! Still, it's something.

What do you all think? Did I make a bad deal?

I'm new to sailing and was looking into a first sailboat. Preferably one that is lightweight and can be stored in a garage... BUT I'm open to other possibilities.

I've been looking at Cat's and Trimarans.. What are the differences in sailing these? Benefits?

I've been going to Express Tires to get my oil change, balance, and wheel alignment because I paid the life time membership there. I find that they are very disorganized and only want to make up things to repair.
How long does a wheel alignment take on average?
This one time I was watching them and it only took them 5 minutes to do my front and back wheel alignment.

I am purchasing a parts truck to pull the motor and transmission from to put in another truck i have. The parts truck is a 1986 F250, and its body is only worth scrap metal. I plan on also removing the axles to hang onto, and after that, all that's left is a rusty frame, springs, and a rusty cab and bed. The front fenders are already gone.

The guy selling it to me has the title and insists on transferring it to me, but as i plan on never EVER driving or licensing this vehicle, do i just take the title and never sign it to my name? Or do i need to sign it to my name, so once i've stripped the truck to its frame and worthless parts, ready for the scrap metal scale, i can then sign the title over to the junkyard?

How do i buy this vehicle and part it out, leaving scrap metal that i'm not sure even is worthy of holding a title? Does the title go on record as "DESTROYED" and all i have is simple steel, or does my scrap iron still need me to pay for plates until it hits the heap?

Someone told me I should replace the radiator cap on my 2003 Impala, since it uses Dex Cool, and Dex Cool can turn into a sludge if it has contact with air. Apparently, the radiator caps that are originally on the car are no good... First question, should I replace the cap? Second, won't replacing the cap allow air into contact with the Dex Cool?

I have an 1986 VW Golf with a 5 speed stick and140,000 miles on it. I got in the car started it just fine, drove about 20ft, and then as I was leaving my drive way I went a little too slow for first gear (not that slow) the car lurched 3 times and died. I then tried to start it nothing happened, no click no sounds nothing. I was on a hill so I pushed it a little and bump started it just fine. I then drove the car to the supermarket (car ran great). When I tried to leave my car wouldn't start again, no sound no nothing. I tried to bump start it and nothing hapened so I had my friend come with jumper cables. With the jumps the car would start fine and run fine but as soon as we took off the jumpers the car would rev up and down really rough for a few seconds and then die. We tried three times and gave up. Anybody know the problem.

Has anyone ever used a flexiboot (The boots that you can slide over a cone onto the axle without dismantling the CV joint) on their CV joints? Are they worse or as good as the fitted CV boot?
