Cars & Transportation - 1 December 2007

I live in NH where studded tires are allowed. Our State Police run them from October to April. My question: If I were to take a trip to Florida, for example, how much flak would I get for having studded tires? I'm not worried about the general public, but all the different enforcement agencies on the way.

i just bought this jeep from a lady who had it parked for the past 4 months,its in really good condition and she said she parked it because it overheated,,she said the overflow bottle was leaking,,i've pulled out the thermostat,topped it up with antifreeze and have driven it 3 days now,,while warmed up and parked there's pressure in the overflow tank but i can't see no leaking anywhere,the temp gauge is staying right in the middle,i did change thermostat so im wondering if there's anything else that should be looked at,,the oil is clean,heater an defrost work like a charm,no odd smell's and seems to be just fine

I have no points and no accidents within 5 years time. I have no surcharges. Is this a good rate for full coverage on a 1997 Ford Taurus? I know of people who only pay this amount for full coverage for a year. Why is my rate higher than there's?

walking or biking distance, and areas with mass transit are too expensive? if your answer is no, then how are they supposed to support themselves, since they have no way of getting to work? They do not have any friends to drive them around on a daily basis either.

Car x is traveling north. Car Z is traveling south. Car x enter a center turn lane with no lights or stops sign. X wants to turn left to enter a car wash. X stopped in the center turn to wait for the southbound (2 lanes) to clear of traffic. When clear at the speed of 5 to 10 mph x turns left. 3/4 of her car is in the driveway of the car wash with aproximately 5ft left to complete her turn when she is struck by another car. Driver of car Z says X turned 25 ft in front of her. Z states her rate of speed is 27mph. X and another witness both state they never saw her in the lane until X was hit. X says Z made a lane change & thats why she is at fault entering my space . Z denies the lane change & says X cut in front of Z. Who would strike who and where is the damage if we assume Z is telling the truth.

Tool boxes have thousands of dollars in them all packed and ready for the taking. Does it make you nervous?

I have a 1997 Ford Escort and my car starts sometimes and then sometimes it doesn't. I tried to start it today and it did nothing but make a sound (almost like it wanted to start). It DID NOT make a clicking sound though. However, my headlights and radio still work. I did get my car jumped though and it started right up.

I went to Advanced Auto and got my battery tested and she said it was fine and didn't need replaced. What do you think this could be? Any ideas?

I brought my car in to a mechanic yesterday to have a power steering fluid leak fixed. They also changed the oil. At the mechanics, the odometer stopped displaying. As well, the speed, rpm etc. (the entire dashboard) is not working at all.

Please advise what could cause this. Could it have been something the mechanic might have done accidentally? Like loosen a wire or something, a quick fix? Or is it likely unrelated. The stereo is also asking for "code" so it means the battery or alternator power supply had been disconnected.

The mechanic says he didn't cause it but has no idea what is wrong with it and I should bring it to Honda. I've called them and made an appointment. I asked on the phone what it might be and he said he'll have to see it but most likely the instrument cluster has gone. Is this an expensive repair? Sounds like it.

This is a 1999 Accord with under 60,000 kilometres. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

My sister is looking at cheap cars and she found a Thunderbird V6 for $3,000 with 75,000 miles. That seems a little suspicious. So I'm wondering how reliable these things are.

Say for example that my tires are supposed to be at 30psi according to the owners manual. The air in the tires can only be released, so wont the tires be under 30 in not too long unless i check every fews days or so? so the manual saying 30, does that mean that maybe the tires are best at 28-29? and do 30, to be safe according to the manual? or should i just do 30+ always.
and i doesnt matter what the tire says, right?
thanks

O.K. Here's the details:

When I drive in dry conditions, car is fine.

When I drive in rain on left curves, it feels like the back end is gonna fish tail.

Now that it is snowing...driving straight is not possible. Car is all over the road. The entire car sways or swerves from left to right.

I just got 1 new tire, the other 3 need to be replaced, not bald, but almost....

Car needs an alignment pretty bad....

Could needing an alignment and having 3 wearing tires cause the car to sway like this? I have driven the car in the snow before (last year) and it was fine. Swaying is so bad that I don't even feel comfortable driving a mile down the road...

As senior car park attendant for a large supermarket chain whose one-time owner donated a new wing to the National Gallery in London (Not Tesco's) I have been given additional duties this Xmas and must put special offer leaflets behind customers windscreen wipers but when one came off in my hand the owner threated to shove it up- and I say hush because there were teenage boys nearby skateboarding down the entrance ramp and I won't have language like that in my car park. My manager tells me that leafletting is at my own risk. Is this true please?
