It seems to be in good shape body wise other than a little rust around the gas cap and the same side on wheel well. Seems well maintained and we are getting an Esso check on it. My question is ....is this a good car and what are the hidden quirks to it. IS IT WORTH $1150.00?

I have a 1998 Acura RL and I live in MN It was pretty cold today and this is my first winter with this car. TOday after school, i went out to it. Popped the trunk to put my back pack in and then tried to close it. I heard that it had not latched and bounced upward. I thought that i was just my backpack covering the latch but it wasnt. So then i thought that maybe the latch had frozen so i went to the gas station and found some lock and latch deicer and put that to work in my garage. Now i just tested it after 2 hours and still doesnt close. I have parked it and disconnected my battery cuz the light wont turn off since the trunk is open. Luckily i am leaving for cancun tomorrow morn and my car wont be used for a week. PLEASE HELP

I am upgrading from a small car to an SUV, I am very interested in purchasing a Jeep, possibly tomorrow actually. However, I have 2 children and one on the way, which is the main reason I am switching, also I want 4-wheel drive for the winter. My question and main concern is.. will the jeep fit 3 carseats in the backseat? Does anyone own one that has 3 kids. Thanks in advance!

Do you flash your brake lights at them? Do you slow down even more, intentionally? Do you just pull over or get in another lane?

Someone was tailing me just 10 minutes ago, and I flashed my brakes at him, and he got closer, so I slowed down even more. So then he followed me into a parking lot and then just took off. It gave me a headache, I got so pissed.

About five years ago as I was getting off a commuter train in Grand Central Terminal in New York City, I saw a curious train. It had a standard Metro-North engine, but there were only two cars connected to it. The first car was decked out with several offices: leather interior, wooden desks, wall-to-wall carpeting. The second car was more of a bar / reception area. Both cars had the seal of the President of the United States. I was guessing that when Bill and Hillary Clinton were living in Westchester County, New York, that was the train Bill took to go to work in Manhattan. Does anyone know where I can find more about this train or know where I can find pictures of this? I have searched the Internet and I can't find anything.

I just noticed this today when I got home. Smell seems to be coming from engine itself. Bike is a 1994 Honda Magna 750cc.

Haven't noticed any other real problems except lean-surging, which is common for this model.

I had a wreck this past April. When settling, because my car had more damage, I told her I would buy her a new bumper(thats all she needed.) The officer asked us both if we needed to go to the hospital. We both said no. Fortunately, I did not get a ticket because the women had no insurance so she got the ticket. Three monthes later I get a call saying she had to go to the hospital on account of whip lash, back pain, and nightmares. So, my insurance company "decided" it would be "best" if they paid her for this nonsense. Anyways, they said my insurance would go up of course. Well I get another call, today (December now) saying my insurance went up $200. It doubled. And now I have 3 points on my license.

The question, how can my insurance pay for this women when I did not get a ticket or court date? I also paid for my own car damage? And its been eight monthes after the wreck?

Please help me. Anyone!!!

Like on the highway there's a sign that says "caution grooved pavement" and then the road has a million grooves in it. There is no construction going on there, its permanently like that. Its very rough to drive on. What is the purpose of this besides making me ask this question & making me mad when i drive over it?

Removed the clutch cover and cant even see how to get to it??

When 87 octane is $3.15, 89 is $3.25, and 93 is $3.45, why does 91 cost $3.42, not $3.35? Why is the jump so high? Is there a good reason, or are the oil companies just sucking us dry?

I know it's a weird question,but my brother is a trucker and I wanted to get him a couple of trucker-friendly electronic devices for Christmas.I know some cars don't come with certain features (I'm not sure if it's about the plug specifically but...)but I know jack about trucks,and I can't ask because he'll figure out the gift.

So yeah,do 18 wheelers come with the built in cigarette lighter plugs?
