They reduced the speed limit from 45 MPH to 35 MPH on many major roads that are built to drive 45MPH or faster on.

Why are they making our trips last longer?

Bought an '02 Lincoln LS two months ago. Started overheating. Had my mechanic checked it with a scanner tool. No error codes. Nothing reported wrong with the car. Had dealer tow it to their mechanic. He said he had no idea and wanted me to pick it up. He test drove it one last time and got it to overheat. They thought it was the computer. Then changed their story and said it was a sensor malfunctioning. Dealer said it wasn't covered and that it would cost $500. Ok'd the work. Called again 2 days later and they changed their story. They said it was 2 bad ignition coil packs. Said these also weren't covered under the extended warranty i paid for which supposedly covered all parts except wear and tear stuff. They fix it without my o.k.. I call the dealer to ask why they did this and they said they never said it was a sensor. Their mech. said the same. Different problem but they are charging the same $500 fee. Sensors are covered under the warranty. Coils aren't. Am i being dicked around?

will that be a good basis on buying a car? or is it worth it to extend your warranty?

Have a 1991 Dodge Daytona. Temperature gauge is all over the place--hot one second, and normal the next.

Important facts:

Car sat for two years. The "head" was replaced with a new one.

Oxygen sensor was recently replaced.

Has 210,000 miles.

Idles smoothly and accelerates fine.

Not sure if it could be a faulty mass air flow sensor, a thermostat, or something else.

What could cause this rapid temperature fluctuation?

Wondering if anyone owns a taurus that has had alternators go out multiple times? I have had 2 put in my car in the last 7 months, I also got a new battery on the last time.

Or, Does anyone have any ideas on why this is happening?

I've heard of lots of people doing this because
1. The Canadian dollar is stronger right now
2. Cars are already cheaper in the states, and with the strong Canadian dollar, this makes them even cheaper for Canadians.

I've also heard that there is no warranty if you do this?

So is it possible to do this with no drawbacks?

it shuts off when it uses all the car's light, it's not charging the battery so it only uses the charge it has.

I am in desperate need of a car. I am 18 years old, I currently work at McDonald's (it's the only place close enough to walk) and make $7.15 an hour, roughly $200.00 a week. I've been working since late October and I would like a car so that I can attend college and find a better job.

I was going to save up and settle for a cheap $1,000-$2,000 car until I could afford a down payment for a brand new car but instead I've decided to get a nice used car and try to apply for an auto loan from my bank (fifth-third). But, I have a feeling my situation will keep from getting the loan. =(

So, my question is, does anyone think/know if I am eligible for a loan, if not, does anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

P.S.
don't tell me to ask my bank, I will tomorrow =)

My ignition does not work, initially the car wouldn't shut off, I had to disconnect the distributor wire. Now the ignition feels like there is nothing there and it won't start. I've tried replacing the ignition key switch and the ignition switch block under the dash on the steering column. I've concluded that the ignition shaft is broken between the 2. I have no idea how to replace the shaft but I think I need to take the steering wheel off ( maybe not). Can someone tell me where I can find this information online or maybe help me out. Thank you for your time.

The aerator is as tight as can be and I'll even loosen it a bit, but it still leaks when the water is on. I've tried both metal and rubber or palstic type swivel aerators.
