Cars & Transportation - 19 December 2007

I'm 18 years old, have a clean driving record, and i drive a 2007 honda civic coupe. My name is insured on my parents honda pilot and lexus 350(suv). For some reason my insurance (for myself only not including famly) is around 6000. is this right? i'm under AAA and they said its going to be this expensive with any insurance company. I have 2 way coverage and and $250 deductable. Can someone name some other company that charges significantly less with coverage and a deductable just as good. Links and sources would be appreciated also

I applied to my credit union for a used auto loan and was approved. They then told me I had to pay sales tax on the car for the loan amount which makes no sense to me since this transaction is between two people and doesnt involve the bank anymore than that they are financing my loan and no dealership is involved to pay a sales tax. Does this make sense to anyone or is this normal for bank to make you pay sales tax on an auto loan? My friend who I'm buying the car from is being required to come to the bank with me sign some paperwork as well. None of this makes sense.

I drive a Kia Spectra, if that matters. This seems to me to be one of those rules that used to matter, but with modern engines shouldn't matter. Does anyone have any evidence one way or the other?

I have a 94 honda accord, 4 cylinder with 220kms. Around a year ago it was giving me around 450 - 500 kms per tank and now it's giving me only 300 - 350kms.
So, i want to know, what are all the possible reasons, that my car is burning more fuel and how can i fix the problem. Between, I have also tried gas treatment bottles but no help.

I was tinting my window in my garage on my own for a good two hours with the door open. Once I went to start the car, it made a loud CLICK sound and wouldnt start. It almost sounded like a machine gun. I tried jump starting, but that did not work. The lights and headlights turn on along with the accessories. What can this be?

Much confusion with the intake gaskets @_@

We have a 5.2 318, and an old holley intake.

The gasket set we have has 5 gaskets. @_@

(the engine block is an 87, but its going into a 78 ramcharger.)

replacing the old 360 which threw a rod..

Sorry, anyhow.

gaskets.

Uh, we have 2 blue ones, with a kind of papery stuff on them, with all kinds of holes for water passages, which the block doesnt have.

two silver, aluminum ones, which do NOT have those extra water passages. only the holes the block has.

However, they have little flanges on them, which slip nicely into the blue gaskets.

Thirdly, we have an extra silver gasket for the passenger side, with a heavily restricted passage, in the CENTER hole. the big one..

So.. we're totally lost, and our book isn thelping us out.

Thanks!

One car is traveling slower than the speed limit on a road that is freshly covered in snow. Another car who is in a blind driveway backs out in reverse. There is limited visibility. The car on the road going on average 20-30mph slams on the brakes at a far distance (determined by skid tracks in the snow), the ABS kicks in but to no avail hits the car coming out of the driveway. The person coming out of the driveway claims the other driver was speeding, the other party denies it and blames it on the slippery conditions. That same night many other accidents happened because of the snow and limited visibility. Who was in error in this accident?

My oil light flashed the day after I hit the pothole, my nephew looked under the car and said it was not my oil pan. He said he believed it was a seal and that the engine had to be remove to fix the problem. The problem is the part is like 10 to 12 dollars but its the labor. I have been driving the car but now it is parked because it cost so much to keep putting oil in the car, and I don't want to do anymore damage. Could you please help me! Also, could you tell me about how much it might cost.
