Is there any speculation or confirmation on a Hyundai Sonata (or any Hyundai for that matter) Hybrid being made?

I want to get my boyfriend a portable radio for Christmas. You can use it on the ground to monitor what is going on around you and you can also use it while on your plane if your other radio quits for some reason. I do not know what it is really called or where I can get it. I keep looking through yahoo search but get radio controlled airplanes instead.

I thank you for your kind answer.

I just bought a set of SCC Radial Snow Cable today (http://www.scc-chain.com/Traction%20Pages/Trac_SC.html) but I can't figure out how to put it on. The problem I have is how to connect the inside of the tire, the side of the tire that's facing the inside of the car. Am I suppose to reach around it? I cannot see the other side so is this something that I have to practice in order to get the connection behind the tire?

She bought the 3 used tires at a tire dealer and they installed the tires, 2 in the rear and one in the front. She bought the tires for temperary driving only until she had save up to buy new ones. the dealer sold the used tires for $40 for 3 tires plus the installing. The reciept which my wife signed had printed "used tires have no garranteed". 12 days past and on a freeway, my wife driving about 55 to 60 miles an hour one of the rear tires burst and damaged the rear side body of the vehicle, nothing happen to my wife she was able to pull the car over to the shoulder of the freeway. The burst of the tire cause over $4,000 worth of damages to the vehicle. Do we have legal grounds to have the tire dealer pay us for the damages of the vehicle since not even 12 days past and one of the tires burst. It could have been worst someone in the freeway could have been killed because of the tire.

I remember once my mom rented one and we were going down the highway doing the speed limit 70 mph and it sounded like it was struggling lol. Absolutely hilarious. Then she got it to 80 and the thing started shaking like it was epileptic in an arcarde or something.

Freggin hilarious. Would it even be possible to make it fast? I doubt it. Lol.

My car is making noises like a load industrial machine or a train. I checked the dipstick and it was only 3cm up. Could it be that the noise is due to low engine oil ?

I'm currently doing 250 to 300 km per tank of gas, i've cleaned out my system a month ago with one of those gas mileage cleaners that u put in your fuel tank. Ive also changed the coolant temp gauge and checked for leaks. The car doesn't idle funny either. The air filter was changed recently and the oil filter as well. The spark plugs were last changed a year and a half ago. I used to do 600 to 650 km could the spark plugs still be the problem? I'm a student who can't afford the high gas prices, please help!

I had a safety inspection done on my 1999 Jeep Wrangler, and the failure report shows that the energy absorbing steering column is severely cracked. Is this even possible? I am thinking that they may have mistakenly put this on the report instead of the serpentine belt, which they did mention to me verbally, and it wasn't on the report.

I have a 2003 Dodge Durango - i want to know if the differential fluid and a squeaking from front of car are related? I went to the dealer and this is what he recommended to do - I did not ask him about the squeaking because i did not think about it...if it's not because of the differential fluid, what else could it be?

My wife has two problems with her a/c and heater in her 2001 Honda Civic. When her car is idling, her heater doens't blow out hot air, but it starts working fine again once she starts going. Secondly, her car makes a rattling noise any time she uses her a/c. If she just uses the blower without the a/c, the noise goes away.

Any suggestions on what could be wrong?


Thanks,
Dan

I am greatly considering becoming a motorcycle mechanic, all geared towards eventually starting my own aftermarket performance shop one day. Not to get into your personal finances or anything, but how much does a beginning moto tech make in his first year?

About one month ago, I had my starter replaced in my car at my repair shop. I was having an intermittent no-start situation.

I'm noticing the problem again. I want to call the repair shop, but I'm wondering what should I expect from them during this process? Do you think it would be under warranty?
