It has something to do with commuter trains. I believe it stands for Automatic Train Stop. What is it for?

I have a 2005 Camry and my tires lasted for 2 and 1/2 years before I needed a new set. Is this normal? Am I getting ripped off?

Here's the issue: 2 years ago, we had an ice storm here in Portland (Ore.). I totalled my van on Portland's icy roads (no car insurance btw) and haven't been able to use it since. It has deteriorated since then naturally, and is parked at a buddy's house. The problem is, my homeboy's sister - who lives with him and his pops - is getting pissy because it is parked there. I feel where she's coming from and want to send it off to rot in the junk yard. I still owe on it though: I have roughly 3K to pay off until it's mine. That's not a lot of $$$ but I'd like to get rid of it ASAP. If I tried to junk it or sell it off (for a very low price of course), would I have to present a deed/title? I won't be able to present a deed/title until I pay it off. If I park it in the street it will get towed and I'll have to pay a lot of money. I just want to get rid of it. I WILL pay it off, of course, because I don't want a negative credit rating. Any suggestions?

if you backed into someones parked car and the only damage you done was take some paint off would you leave your details or just drive off

I took it and had the battery and altenator check and was told they were both good. However, I went and bought a new battery for it and it still won't even act like it is turning over, just nothing. I have been pushing it and popping the clutch now for a week, I don't know what to do.

When my engine is started, and I press on my brake pedal to unlock my gears to shift from park to drive, it won't unlock sometimes and I can't do anything! I noticed it the first time about a month ago, and it seems to be happening more often. I have noticed that I can also pull my key out of the ignition while the car is running! My manual doesn't say that my car has this capability. What's wrong with it? It's a 2000 Saturn LS. and has been in an accident... I slipped in snow and rammed into a curb going about 25 mph... got the damaged fixed, but I noticed that when I steer, sometimes my front tires make this jerking movement. aaaaaaaaaaaa help...

I bought a 1991 Volvo 740 Non-Turbo Sedan. And recently I have been noticing that the acceleration in horrible. It's a four cylinder by the way, but still. When I am at a light, and I push the gas ALL the way to the floor...is takes about 4 or 5 seconds to acutally accelerate. And when I was trying to check the carb, I saw that oil somehow had gotten in to there a long time ago, but I don't know. So what can I do about the acceleration and the cleaning of oil off of my carb?

Thanks!

On my 1996 Volvo 850, and I have a few questions.

1. How hard will this be for someone who has never done anything more complicated than putting on a spare tire and replacing the air filter?

2. Will a tire iron be sufficient for reattaching my tires, or will I need one of those pneumatic drill things?

3. Will I be able to find the right shoes at a store like autozone?

And if you're curious, I drove 3 miles with the parking brake halfway up.

I barely scraped paint on this girl's bumper, so I asked if we could just not go through our insurance companies...her dad calls me a week later telling me that since the bumper is made out of plastic, they can't re-paint anything or fix it, and that the shop needs to REPLACE the whole bumper, which would cost $1300, but since he's SO nice, he's willing to settle for $500. In the case that I would've damaged it, I would've been fine paying up, but what I did is not worth more than $100. This happened 2 weeks ago- what should I do? He's threatening to go through the insurance if I don't pay up....

So I have already changed the fuel pump, the starter, and the battery in my car. I was wondering about the relay and where its located and what it looks like. Also if anyone can give me anymore suggestions on why I am not getting fuel to my engine. I drive a 1990 Honda Accord and any help would be greatly appreciated...

How much would it cost me to get an El Camino painted--it's already been sanded... (not primed though)

I pretty much just got a car, and dont know too much about them. What kind of windshield wiper blades do I put on my 1994 Camry (coupe)? I only need to replace the rubber right? And about how much are they?
