I have an 06 Hyundai Sonata in excellent condition and I'm in my senior year in college. I don't "need" a car right now because I'm not gonna have a job for the rest of the school year, but I'm going to start working again (or at least start looking for a full time job) as soon as I graduate in june, and I will most likely need a car again then. Would it be smart to sell my car now and think about getting another one in June, just to save insurance money which is kinda high? or Should I just hold on to it for the next few months and avoid the hastle of looking for a new car after I graduate...What would you do if you were in my shoes?

P.S. It is very likely that I relocate to another state after I graduate, I live in Ohio and I could find a job in Oregon for example so I'd have to sell my car anyway...Sorry for the long details and thanks for any imput...Merry Christmas to you all!

I just replaced my thermostat and I have plenty of coolant in my reservoir. I don't know why coolant is spraying out from under my radiator cap though. What could it be?

I heard the piston and rings need replacing or the top end needs to be rebuilt annually, if so how much is it to rebuild every year? Im thinking of getting a motocross bike like a suzuki RM250 or even a road registerable RMX250 and ive heard 2-strokes need alot of maintenance so i would like to get a rough idea of the costs im up for. I have owned 2-strokes before but only for a short while but i want one for the long term.

i do not see the logic of buying an SUV instead of a 4 door sedan. SUV's have poor fuel economy, are harder to park or maneuver in tight spaces, and have a very high tendency to rollover in a crash compared to the roll over probability of 4 door sedan.

They block the view of a person in sedan who is trying to back out of a parking space located at the side of the SUV spot.

And in many cases they will exceed the price of a 4 door sedan and have less features/luxury than sedan. And they also cause more environmental damage than sedan because the SUV tailpipes emit way more smoke and air damaging particles.

Even if the 4 door sedan costs more, it is worth it. It has better acceleration and easier to handle than SUV.

I am going to replace my coils (front and rear) as well as shocks on my 1985 Buick Lesabre Collector's Edition. Do I have to take the car in for an alignment when I am done? The replacement process involves removing the front stabilizer and loosening the control arms to slip the front coils out. Also, one sales rep during a quote mentioned a rear alignment (for what reason I do not understand). The only thing holding up the rear end are the shocks, coils push down and keep tension. Nothing else makes contact except the driveshaft. If anyone has knowledge or experience, please post and list your experience/how you know the answer. Thanks.

note - they are 4 way shocks, not struts. Front shocks mount seperately in the coils but are NOT struts.

I think Honda sells them for the Honda Civic when you buy the car and I think it's a manufacturer's warranty. But I am interested in detailed info on it and a better price than what I was offered. I have been attempting to find out on the Net without success yet.

I figure I don't need one badly but then again, I plan on keeping the car for a long time and if it's a good warranty it just might help me sometime when I'm low on cash.
