Hey, I've got a 92 ford mustang 5.0. The power steering leaks alot, and I'm considering just removing it. What would be some pros and cons with this decision? I know it will be harder to turn, especially at low speeds. But i've heard that it'll increase performance too. Any thoughts?

I ordered wholesale parts from partstrain on the net because shops want a fortune for them to do a brake job for this car. I'm a mechanical type of guy with tools and such. Can someone who REALLY knows brakes, ABS, please describe the steps I have to go through to get the old discs and pads off and the new ones on? Do I have to buy a parts manual for this car to do this job? A mechanic told me not to try it? of course...something about "dual piston calipers" and having to bleed them after I have the new discs & pads on and ...whatever. I would really appreciate the input and I hope I can get this done because..I can save a fortune. thank you

my check engine light came on yesterday so i brought it to autozone. they hooked their little gizmo up and said i need to check my vacuum hoses or i may need a new catalytic converter. she looked it up and said that there isnt one that fits my car so they would have to cut and weld a new one on. has anyone else had this problem? is it expensive to fix? is it bad to keep driving the car if the catalytic converter is going bad?

Why do Motorcycle drivers need to "REV" their engines for thirty minutes in their driveway at 7 am in the moring and not go anywhere? Are you people trying to be jerks or is it something mechanically neccesarry to do with the bike?

I am afraid of car wrecks anyway. Do you have any advice for the driver? Long big car on ice or shorter compact car? Please tell me. (I've never been in this category before.)

I have a 1996 Saturn that required $2000 worth of engine work recently. A few days after I got it back the temperature light was coming on. I had to take it back to the shop. I was informed that it is getting oil in the antifreeze and I have a bad head. I was told that it is not worth it to fix the problem.
I am taking a road trip soon that is a 16 hour drive both ways and I'm wondering if I'm going to make it!

I assume the latter costs more, but what else?

My dad's always had a decorative horse on his Cadillac's and just bought a Porsche Cayenne. Is there some extremely strong double sided tape or High powered magnet system available. I don't want it to get stolen or to fly off on the highway? Drilling holes in the hood of a Porsche would really hurt the value

I bought a new 2007 Honda Civic about 3 weeks ago. After having it only a week the horn started to go off at odd times and it would stay on until I hit it to make it stop. I live 70 miles from the dealer. I have had it in there 2 times, they havent fixed it. They pretty much have called me a liar because they wont keep it for more than an hour and it happens so randomly. They say they dont have to give me a loaner but that I can rent a car from Enterprise. NOW I am dealing with Honda corporate, but I am having a hard time getting them to return my calls. I originally just wanted it fixed. Now it is getting worse and other things are acting strange. When the horn goes off my cruise control doesnt work. The excitement of having a new car is long gone. I hate the car now. I want to take it back because it has been such a hassel. What can I do legally to make them take care of this, and can I take it back if they keep putting me off?

I've heard that in order to own a Rolls Royce the buyer has to be like a Prince, King or something... I've also heard that even a president is not allowed to buy it... meaning they won't even sell it to a President... rest aside a millionare businessman.... now... does anyone know if this is true or jus a lie?

P.S- anyone know how the process of buying a Rolls Royce is different then buying a regular car like Mistubishi, Mazda, Nissan, or other car makes? ANDDDD if you were buying a Rolls Royce could you finance it? Thanks :)

I live in a newer residential area - the city has maximized the number of homes in an area and minimized the width of the roads as much as they can get away with. So here's the problem:
To get to my home, you have to enter off the main road road a t-intersection. On an almost daily basis, the individual living on the corner of the t-intersection insists on parking his huge pick up truck right after you enter the intersection. Effectively, anyone turning left cannot see anyone turning right off the intersection with this truck parked where it is. Those turning off the main road into the intersection have to turn wide either way because this car is parked so close to the intersection. If there's an oncoming car neither can see and with the roads being so slippery there's the potential that an accident can happen.
I called the city and they are unable to help. What do you suggest? I was thinking to leave a note on this dude's windshield asking him kindly to not park there..

Now that winter is here, my car doors keep freezing shut. I have to bang myself up against the door several times and jerk on the handle to get it to loosen up. I am afraid I am going to break the door handles. Any suggestions on what I can do to stop this problem would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
