Cars & Transportation - 16 December 2007

It wasn't busy at all, there were three other empty spaces right next to me, but it was right in front of the store and I ended up walking to another store so I was parked there for approximately 40 minutes. My car was still there, there was no ticket in the window when I returned, but when I got back to my car and realized it, this employee from the store looked out at me twice.. Should I be expecting a ticket in the mail? help please.

Everytime I arrive at an intersection, I press the "Press To Walk" button, but it doesn't seem to make the lights change any faster.

Therefore, my question is:

Do the "Press To Walk" buttons at intersections really work?

And, if so, how do they work?

Thanks in advance.

We just bought a used natural gas-powered Ford F-150 pickup truck and it's great! Natural gas (methane) is only 64 cents a gallon here in Utah, and it's the cleanest fossil fuel in the world. Not every state has gas stations available for filling up, but if everybody would show some real interest in getting away from gasoline and moving on to something better for the environment as well as a whole lot cheaper, then it could become a reality for the entire country! All I know is I can fill up for $9.00 and the truck runs and drives just the same as any other pickup truck. There is plenty of natural gas in our own country (many people heat their homes and cook with it), so I'm thinking the only thing keeping the idea from taking off is our own government and "big oil". I just haven't found a downside to this yet, and it's not just an idea; it's real. Start bothering your state and local reps - everybody should be using natural gas (cng). I do, and it feels great! No more blood for oil...

How much added horsepower would I get in my 1966 mustang with a stock 289 2bbl if I upgraded my stock 2 1/4 dual exhaust to a Dual flowmaster 40 series 2 1/2 pipes with a H pipe and 2 1/2 aftermarket Headers. I am also adding a hi flo filter with a Edelbrock housing.

For years I've been having recurring nightmares of finding myself alone in a car and crashing it (sometimes into people...Vice City style...) eventually. A few weeks ago I started driving lessons and now I'm slightly less afraid of driving when I'm conscious but the nightmares persist and I'm constantly imagining horrible scenes where I crash and kill my passengers and ruin my life because of it. I really don't know how to get over this phobia. I'm terrified of losing control. I just wish I didn't have to learn to drive but it's "an important life skill" so I don't really have a choice...

P.S. I'm 17, if that has any relevance.

Just bought a used Nissan Frontier, and it comes equipped with a push button to switch O/D on or off.

During normal running conditions, should the dashboard indicator that reads O/D off be lit or should it be turned off?

Hi, I have a 1986 Georgie boy cruise air 2. It has a 450 engine
When i bought it it would start right up (couple months ago). If and when it sat a few weeks it may take a few times of cranking. Now that its cooler out im lucky to get it started. When i do it takes 10-13 times of starting it up, keeping it revved, and dieing before it stays running. Any ideas.
Thanks

My 2003 Acura MDX's "MAINT RQ'D" light came on while I was driving. Now, its a steady light. Its not the "check engine" light but it is now lit and I am worried it might just stop in the middle of the road.

Recently, I had been attacked by a lady due to road rage. Traffic was almost at a complete standstill over an hour. My lane was merging into hers. She was upset, when I got in front of her. So her mom started yelling profanity. I told them I had my 2yr old nephew and 4yr old daughter in the car. They didn't care. The 20-something daughter ran up to my car, just as I was rolling up all windows and locking the door. She yanked on my door, yelling profanity. I told her I was calling the cops, which I did. My daughter is in the back seat crying and scared. However, traffic started moving and I couldn't get a description of her car because she put her brights on. What is wrong with these people?? And my sister was with me and knows the mom. She lives near her in our small town!!

I am thinking about going to Midas..but I really can't afford to go without a transportation during the week so..maybe trying to get them fixed on Saturday.. I wonder if they are open and how fast they can work on them..and how much should I expect..

I don't know if going to the dealership is better or not..I am afraid they might take longer and cost more.

Thanks!!

After I start my car, immediately after it turns over, I hear this crackling noise for about 3 seconds. Any idea what it is? This noise usually goes away later in the day after the car gets warmed up.

I recently got new spark plugs / wires. And recently got a new fuel filter and air filter.

1992 F150 4.9 L and mechanics are scratching their heads. It starts when the sun comes out and it reaches at least 60 degrees. what are two different pro mechanics overlooking. cold weather seems to be the thing. one said maybe it something to do with fuel emission hookup but they have no idea. paid to have it hauled in a couple of weeks ago and when they tried it was a warmer day and it cranked fine. they cannot figure it out. what the hell is the matter and please don't say it is the blue oval in the grille. have never had any vehicle do this particular thing.
