Cars & Transportation - 4 October 2007

I know you are not suppose to cross over them to get into to the car pool lane, but I was wondering is it ok to cross over them to get out if your exit is coming and they do not break for another mile?

I live in California if that helps any.

I drive a 2001 Acura 1.7 and the other day I lost my fuel cap for the gas tank. 2 days later the engine light came on and I looked in my auto book which stated that a gas cap not securely on will cause this to stay on.

I purchased a generic cap from a auto parts store and in the manual for my car it states one driving trip will enable the engine light to turn off. I've driven like 4 times and the engine light still remains on, can someone tell me why the light won't go off? I'm hoping it's still the gas cap that's the problem.

I just read that an oiler can add 25% more torque to air tools. Is there any mechanics out there that can confirm this?? I just thought it might be a good investment for my underpowered impact wrench.

I want to apply in DC because it seems easier, now 30 hour class, or driving school. Am I right in thinking that?

I needed the rear shocks fixed on my Civic, and they've had it a couple of days now, and I just wondered if anyone knows how long it could take, or usually takes. Thanks

I am at the end of a 5 year lease for a 2003 Sienna with 60,000 miles on it. The lease is up in early March, so I will be over the miles by roughly 5,000. The buy-out is $9,500 plus $500 handling, plus sales tax. The bank has called and asked if I am going to buy the vehicle. I told them that I would not buy it unless they offered me a deal on the buyout price. Huntington Bank said that they do not negiotate, they have insurance on the loan, so they will not loose money at auction. Anybody have experience with Huntington? Is this true about them having insurance on the loan? I was hoping to get the vehicle for $7,000. Any thoughts?

I was in a car accident a few days ago, in which the accident was not my fault, ( the roads that we were driving on were wet and the other driver's car some what lost control and skidded into mine coming around a curve). I called my insurance after the accident, but I only had liability coverage...(my insurance company will only pay for property damage resulting from the accident and for damage done to the other party's car, but not mine. The other driver apparently has the same type of insurance as me. Anyway am I supposed to call the other persons insurance company and see if they will pay to have my car fixed (since it was kind of the other drivers fault), or is calling mine enough?

I would like to know if we can use a mixture of diesel and vegetable oil to make diesel engines to work. Do I have to install a warmer for the mixture? Is the performance of the engine the same? What are the proportions? Is it easy to install a warmer?

The car color is white (pearl). Am concerned that repainting a brand new car may result in more problems than living with slight color mismatch.

I have 2001 Toyota Camry with around 130K miles and check engine light was on. Since I could not pass the emission test, I took the car to the Goodyear shop for the computer test and they said I need to replace a lot of parts. So I replaced the following parts : catalytic converter, oxygen sensor, EGR vacuum modulator, evap. vacuum control valve, vacuum switching valve, exhaust flange gasket, EGR valve position sensor. After four days later, light came back and the same mechanic did the computer test again and asked to replace rear oxygen sensor. The mechanic said that is what the computer reads. So I replaced the rear oxygen sensor. Then yesterday, four weeks later, engine light came back again, but this time the computer test was fine and the mechanic said 'use the highest octane gas'. Can anybody give me an advice what is going on in my car? Was that the right thing what the shop did to repair my car's emission system? Can anybody know any policy if they replaced wrong parts?

I hit an SUV last year. I was coming off a small street into a larger one. I couldn't see and waited until I thought nothing was coming and I struck the SUV. the damage was not that bad. No one could tell I was in an accident because there was no damage to the car I was driving. I had no insurance because I did not own a vehicle at the time. the owner of the car had no insurance. Now the driver of the other vehicle and the 2 passengers are trying to sue me. Is there any way possible out of this?
