No one makes a small pickup that gets more than 30 mpg on the highway. Why doesn't Toyota, for example, make a Corolla-based pickup with a short pickup bed? The Corolla gets close to 40 mpg - with the reduced aerodynamics of the pickup bed, it would still probably get 35 mpg. And I will guarantee you they could sell 100,000 of them a year.

I have a '99 Escort with about 110,000/m on it. I got an oil change last monday and it ran fine until Thirsday. On thursday I turn it on and the battery light comes on. It is ok for about a mile then my air bag light and my low fuel light start flashing on and off and I have gas. It starts to like chug a little whenever I stop. My blinkers and window are very slow responding and then my speedometer, odometer, and gas and engine temp. levels reset like the car is off and are not working. All this happens at the same time so I just drove home and shut it off and haven't drove it since. Any Idea what this could be? Just some backround info: I had my battery replaced twice last year, a new alternator, and my radio is disconnected.

And incase you are really in a zone, my engine goes hot when I drive it and since its winter, cools back down when I am at a stoplight. But in the summer it cooled when I drove it and heated at stops. I can hear my fan on too. Any ideas?

I was wondering what will happen if your car does not pass the California Smog Test. I have heard that they will want you to repair it if it is close to passing, but what if it is NOT close?

I was told that the state would buy the car from you if it cannot pass the Smog Test...

A couple days ago y was riding my 2003 Bandit-S 600, got to a toll booth, made the paymente and draged pressing the throttle to release al the hps of my bike, but... close to 10,000 rpms it went off, completely off ... all lights went off and the engine too, even the speedmeter and odometer got frozen. Just the oil light was quite lit but ... blinking as if something were fault. After 10 minutes of pushing 400 pounds to the nearest safe place I tried to start the engine and it started, everithing seemed fine, but my bike is doing this every now wnd then. Another hint is the clock goes 12:00 as if I had disconencted the battery yet it is firmely connected.

I have a '97 GMC Suburban 2500-454-4 wheel drive-stock stereo. Over the last week the volume slowly fades to silent without anyone touching it. Then when you go to turn it up, it barely moves and comes on so loud, it scares the begeebies out of me. The volume control knob is working the same way-extremely loud, then silent. What the heck??

And how much will it cost? There is a motorbike I am looking at on ebay but the person says he will not transport it. I need a way of getting it from Sheffield to London. I can't ride it down either because I have yet to take my CBT test.

Hi,
yessss im looking for a car thru internet
i found this website 'http://www.batfa.com/'
which sells cars from japan and delivers it to where you are
i live in ireland at the moment and i wonder if that site is trustful enough :]

1.how much tax will i pay if im buyin a car from that website?
[plz considering the fact that i live in ireland]

2. would i be able to fix the car in ireland if the car has something wrong. coz i have this experience of buying a camera from japan and couldnt fix it over here coz its made in japan and i dunno know they said they just cant fix it for me.
so wonder if its gonna be the same for the car??

3. ive heard that its cheaper over belfast than dublin.
would it be safer to go to belfast and get a car than buying from online?

that's all i need to know for now.
so plzzz help me.

p.s : im thinking to get a Nissan Latio from the website
and i was tryin to compare the price from here but there was no Latio over here wonder why it is??

I just scratched my car up pretty good. My current insurance coverage will have me pay 1000 before they pay for anything else. What if I get another insurance coverage from anotehr provider with a lower collision deductable. Will the new provider find out somehow? I caused the scratch because i was driving too close to a metal pole! Theres no police report

Hi! I would appreciate all your best formulas for parking. I'm having difficulty not only with parallel - but in other varied situations too. If you have any tips, I would like to practice them. Thank you!

Hey everyone, I've been scrambles since i was 12 years old. Never raced motoX or superX. I'm currently riding a YZ125 and haven't done a scramble in a while, just trail riding all over the state, but I've rode about every kind of bike you can name. So i have experience with bikes.

I'm turning 19 soon, Looking to get into a sportbike. This is a sort of unfamiliar territory to me so any help is appreciated. But i've just started researching the bikes. The first two that jumped out at me were the 750 katana and the R6 (yamaha fan). Which of those two bikes would you look for to get the "best bang for your buck"?

I'm not looking to get into any stunts, just a casual rider. My ears are open to ANY suggestions or recommendations you have for any other bikes!! I'm just looking for a solid bike all around and somewhere to start. Thanks in advance to everyone!!
