ok im 18, no credit, i have an 2002 civic ex coupe. im way to tall for the car and its giving me knee problems. thing is, i owe 9 grand on the car. could i trade it in on a new car or truck? i know ill still pay the money that i owe one way or the other but i dont know if they will let me do it with no credit. and could i possibly keep the payments around 3-400$? i wat a new mustang, but if thats out of the question ill take a pickup. i can afford a brand new car but i dont know if the dealer will do this deal.

I can't put it in the shop right now because I need it for work. The problem I have is that it blows no heat what so ever. I can deal with it being cold, but not having the windows instantly frost up on the inside. Any tricks or ideas to try until I can get it fixed? Does rain-x work on the inside?

For example, my car payment is $307 a month for 5 years. If I paid more than $307 this month, will my payments be a little lower from then on?

My friend says airplane propellers are made out of plastic. I say no, they are made out aluminum because plastic has a low melting point. My friend went to flight school and failed/ I scored a 4 on the AP chem exam. I am not flight specialist so I may be wrong but I know the uses of building materials and aluminum is used to build airplanes because it is lightweight and has a good melting point and resists rust.

Propellers, plastic or aluminum?

In a certain part of that tire has a bulge or bump around 20~25cm long in the middle not in the sides just the center!
I got the bulge 2 weeks ago and all remember was i put 30psi in all my tires. I didn't hit anything in that tire like a curb/pot hole..etc. But tomorrow am gonna lower my tire pressure to 27. Also i remember a day after i changed my tire my friend and even my parent told me the left side bounce alot do that come from the tire bulge cause i check my engine and suspension and they all good!

So any expert/pro mechanic out there can help me out please cause i don't live any nearby tire shop or any car shop! But i can fix my car.

I had road rage earlier because these old people were driving very slow...This is not the only time it happend, every slow driver i meet is old. Also when they are at the cashier, they spend like an hour counting their money. They should be retired and rich.

I bought a car earlier today. The sale has already gone through and the car is now under my name and at my house.

I went through the financing department at the dealership and they worked out a deal with me even though my credit isn't the best. There was only one catch! When i filled out my application I put down that I pay $950 for rent. The finance guy approved me and then said I need to come back with a phone bill showing proof of residence and my landlords phone number. Then he said oh yeah, your landlord needs to say you pay $300 for rent otherwise the loan wont go through.I was so excited about a car I didnt think much about it. Now that Ive had time to think about it i realize i need to go tell my landlord to lie and say my rent is $300 whenever the loan place calls.

My question is what happens if the landlord doesn't do this favor for me? If she still says tells the loan place my rent is $950 can i just tell the loan place i have roomates thats why i put $300 ? Please help!

My oil was bone dry because of an issue I had with my car. Went and had that issue fixed and the repair shop said they put in a quart of oil. I checked it and it was just barely at the "minimum" level, so I decided to add oil. I added about 4 quarts, and now I can't tell whether I'm just barely at the maximum level or way over it.

My dipstick is clearly at least at the max, but then just beyond the max there's a faint wetness (presumably oil). this is clearly different than the notches on the dipstick where there is a thick layer of oil.

I know that if you put in too much oil you can have major problems. And please don't lecture me about putting in 4 quarts at a time. Yeah I know I'm a moron. :-)
