Cars & Transportation - 25 November 2007

I recently bought a car. The problem is the owner didn't have the title. I have a bill of sale, but when it came to getting the pink slip, she hadn't gotten it from the dealership yet. Its been more than a couple months with no word. I tried her contact info and got nothing but dead ends. How do I go about taking ownership?

I have a 2002 Audi A4 with the 3.0. I want to change the spark plugs in it. Is there an easy way to take off the clips on the coils and is there an easy way to get the coil out? Also what kind of plugs do I want to use in there? plantnum? erritium?

Ok - I know diddly squat about cars, but I have a 1971 VW camper van that when you run the thing, even in cold weather, and then shut it down - it has to COMPLETELY cool down before it will start again - sometimes 20 minutes to 2 hrs. later. What is the problem?

So a few weeks ago I was run off the road and popped my tire on a curb. I feel like this may have rattled something in my car. Now, when I hit high speeds (over 50) my steering feels loose. I feel unsafe and out of control if I hit 70mph. Also when I accelerate I hear a different noise from my engine than i did before. I feel as if there are multiple problems here. I had my car inspected and took it to the dealership. I have to make an appointment and leave my car for a day so before I do this does anyone have any idea what is wrong? Is my steering loose? whats wrong with my engine? how dangerous is this?

I currently have 2 12 inch kicker cvr's and a 600 watt amp, it hits hard but i want more, would it be worth it to buy another 600 watt soundstream amp the subs can handle 800 watts each so would powering each one with a 600 watt amp make my system significantly louder?

My husband's getting me a new car in early 2008. I don't know what the better buy is, 2007/08 Mercury Milan or 2007/08 Saturn Aura. I like both, he's leaning more towards the Aura.

My oil light has been coming on for awhile but only when I go downhill. Tonight my engine made whirring noises, I checked and there was NO oil left. (It has always had a slow leak and I have no idea the last time it was filled.) I am walking to the gas station tomorrow to buy some oil to put in it, I read my instruction book how. My question is: after I put the oil in will my car be safe to drive? How do I know if I already blew up my engine? It didn't smoke.

How can you even think that under powering a sub (or ANY speaker) will cause damage?

Some good reads:

and I kept oil in it because I know I had a leak, but not a bad leak it seemed.

SO I get in it tonight and its making a loud noise, and sputtering, almost like a helicopter but not real loud. Riding really rough. It had a tune up last year and the only trouble I was having lately was the oil leak.

Could I have thrown a rod? and if so how much do they cost to fix?

I have a 1998 Chevy Blazer and the wipers start and stop on their own when the switch is turned on. I have heard about the controller board, but what is this and what should I try first before I replace the motor and all of that expensive stuff? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
