Car blowing blue Smoke?
My car was blowing blue smoke after long idling at lights etc. I got my valve seals replaced about 3-4 weeks ago.

Since it has reduced incredibly (used to do it several times a day), but every now and then (maybe once a week) it will still do it at long idling. Is this residue? It's a Hyundai Excel with 160'000 kms on it and it drives really well.

Don't know if this helps but The oil level has not lowered in months? And it is only after a long idle and a massive rev, never constant... I just find it hard (or sad) to believe its on its way out when It drives so beautifully!

I have only been employed with BNSF for a little over a year now, and I would like to start thinking about making a move up the ranks. I recently took and passed the FLS(Front Line Supervisor) test, which is a basic qualification for assistant roadmasters. But do I have a chance of getting hired with such little experience? I fear that without more time on the railroad, and without a degree, my chances are slim. Any answers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I have a 98 Pontiac Sunfire that is having major cooling problems...Ive had the water pump replaced, the thermostat replaced and the radiator flushed and it still heats up really fast. Any ideas? Someone said the mechanic used the wrong coolant and messed my car up (my car's radiator cap says to use Dex-Cool only and the mechanic used regular coolant) but can that really mess things up that bad by not using the right stuff?

Would you not agree Nissan typically makes a car with more punch than say Toyota, Honda etc?

Please - spare me the clap trap about the big three being the only American built cars. Most of these cars are either assembled in Mexico or Canada, or are made with parts that have come from a foreign source. And the multi-national status of the big three makes me wonder what portion of each of them in actually owned by Americans, and how much is owned by foreign investors anyway.

What I want to know is if any of the other car companies, Toyota, Hyundai, Honda ... make a car that has more US made parts, and US labor in them, than the ones the big three are selling.

Please provide sources for your claims if you can.

Ok, I just bought this car. It has 118,000 miles. I've been driving it everyday since I bought it, but this weekend I left town and didn't use it for about 72 hours. Then when I tried to start it I just heard the click of the starter, but it wouldn't start the engine. I used my jumper box to start it, and had no problems the rest of the day. However, this morning I got in it and it did the same thing.

Does this just sound like the battery is going out on me? I don't know how old it is or if its ever been changed.
Could it be the relay?

okay my car has a body kit on it and it hit some road kill and the rear bumper got knocked off, is there anyway to claim this on my insurance, i dont know if i was supposed to let the insurance company know if i had a body kit but i never did anyhow i have the minimum insurance i can carry so will it cover my bumper or could i come up with a different excuse that they would, or do i even need to ever let them know i have a body kit? I am tired of driving without a bumper so if there is a way i can get this done without having to pay to much it would be cool
