Is it bad to drive with the over drive on? Or off? And does it save gas to drive with it off? I would like as many answers as possible...just for accuracy.

In my view, Giugiaro's designs are just so-so. They are not that great.

Comparing Giugiaro's and other cars like new BMW convertables, new Land Rovers and Toyotas, Giugiaro's designs are not that great as people acclaim.

What do you think? And why do you think Giugiaro's designs gain popularity?

My husband backed into a friend's car in June. She said "not to worry about it and that she didn't even care about her car". Now, almost 5 months later....we got a call telling us we have to pay $618 to fix the damage. Not only does this suck coming from our friend, but 5 months later? Is this legal?

I'm buying a new bike this weekend, It's between an 01 RR pretty much stock and a 99 R1 with 6000 worth of engine work bringing it to 180+ hp and it's tuned very well. Both are flawless in apperaence and performance, and the RR is slightly cheaper than the R1. What would you pay for these bikes? Which one should I get and Y?

I have a boat...no title. The orginal owner no longer has the title for the boat or motor. (I verifyed with TPWD that she is the owner).

I typed up a Bill of Sale indicating information for the boat and motor... etc...and had it signed by myself the owner and a witness that she sold me they boat.

Now what...do I apply for a lost title? Do I have to have her sign anything else?

When I walk into TPWD is a Bill of sale enough to consider the boat mine?
HELP

Hello, I have a 2001 Chevy S10 with a Delco Electronics factory stereo in the dash. (GM# 16232141 - 1995-1999 Chevy Car OEM Radio/CD Player 1995 - 1999 Chevy Car UNO)

My question is, and I hope someone can answer this, my stereo has a button for “AUX” but I cannot find where the input jack is for this.

Can anyone please tell me how I can connect my mp3 player directly to the stereo so that I can listen to it through the “AUX” button?

I currently listen to it by using an FM transmitter, but it is not as strong as I would like and I often get static or cross-interference from other FM transmitters on other cars as they pass me on the road. I would like to be able to connect my mp3 player directly so that I can avoid all the frustration of using the FM transmitter.

I hope you can answer this question for me.

Thanks!

My girl friend bought a 2007 CRV about 6 months ago and it seems it doesn't have auto headlights (they turn off automatically when you turn the car off). She left her lights on the other night and we had to call AAA. Is this possible? Every car I have had since 2000: Honda Element, Toyota Solara, Toyota FJ Cruiser has had auto lights.

wouldn't it be nice if manufactures settled on a standard input/output voltage? and how bout a volume control that stops right before distortion.... there are so many questions regaurding gains, and settings, it's almost worse than the almighty "ohm" questions, yet personally i see no advantage to not standardizing? even the lowest voltage levels i believe to have great quality, provided a decent rca is used... am i missing a key reason not to standardize?

I remember someone telling me about the possibility of the government making all cars have a "chip" in them so they know if you have been speeding as it will take all the data on what road you have been on and what speed you were doing. Has anyone else heard about this, if you have could you give me any more details/web pages etc
thank you x

I'll be getting a loan of my brother-in-laws car while he's away serving with the army for 6 months and I'm trying to find the most cost effective way(s) of me getting insured for it for that duration.

At the moment I have my own car with insurance, for myself and my wife (insurance is in my name), and I effectively want to use a second car. Ideally I wouldn't want my brother-in-law to have to pay insurance while he's away.

Its an auto, and I would drive around with it off for the first and 2nt gear, then id put it back on, but i was just wondering if anyone knew if it would do any damage to my trans. I mean, it shifts smoother without it, and i love how it operates without it, it feels like it has a quicker throttle response. I do alot of city driving, but im going 60-70 everywhere i drive.

My alternator tested bad about 2 months ago so I had it replaced last month. On Sunday the cars dashboard lights were coming on and going off (ABS, AIR BAG, TCS) and after stopping to get gas, we tried to start the car and nothing. We had to have it jumped. So when we were driving it to my Aunts at every red light everything got dark (headlights, dash lights) until the gas was pushed and they all came back strong. We took it back to the store where we purchased the alternator and it tested bad. But he also said he smelled a burning smell and said to get the electrical system checked. We did that yesterday and everything in the whole car was fine, but the alternator tested bad and the battery was about 25% charged. Is there something that could be wrong in a car that would cause it to kill alternators? Or did we maybe just get a bad one? I don't see how something could be wrong to kill the alternator after a month... or is there? Please help!

P.S. This is a 2002 Hyundai Santa Fe GLS

I recently changed the pressure line on my 98 toyota corolla. We did not know how to bleed the line so i filled the resivior and the wheel moves fin. When I turn the wheel thought it makes this whining sound like when it is low on fluid. Does that mean that there is air in the line. I am driving to South Carolina form Florida and want to make sure the pump isn't going to go out on me.
