Someone rear-ended our 1977 Chevy Blazer. We had just finished rebuilding everything on it. The seats, interior, paint and engine. The kid who hit our PARKED blazer has insurance. However, the insurance wants us to settle for $1500. We are not happy with that settlement offer and would like to know who we would go after in court if this goes legal. We are not trying to be greedy, but would like at least what we put into the Blazer. Is the insured responsible to pay out what the insurance will not cover?

Also, you can slightly smell what seems to be a burning rubber smell in the smoke that comes out. All of this only happens when I start the car, after that it runs fine. Any ideas?

I would appreciate if someone can help me. During my regular drive my transitions is in 2WD. Today, during snow, I switch from 2WD to 4WD (of course I was park during switching) and when I started my drive, I realize that something is wrong. While I was driving forward everything was normal. But when I turn first left then right I feel something similar that I use my break. Jeep was started to jump up and down, as I sad before, like I was pressing break pedal during my drive. At first moment I thought that something is wrong with steerwheel or my tires but there was nothing wrong with it. When I switch to 2WD again, everything was normal. Does anyone has any idea what happened with my Jeep today? Note: 20 days ago, I was driving in position 4WD normal, without any problems.
Thanks.

My 2000 VW Jetta feels like its not even trying to shift into higher gear. If it was a manual tranny I would say it felt like I was trying to get to 80 MPH in 4th gear instead of 5th. Also this happens and a few days later it goes away then comes back. Could there be a short in the wiring somewhere?

truck will idle high for approx 1 minute. Then will sputter and act like it is going to die. When driving you can feel and watch the rmps bounce up and down. What could be the cause of this. It is fuel injected 5.8 xlt. Has been in the shop and no ones seems to know what it is. I have tuned it up, sent the computer out to be checked and replaced what I thought was the I.A.C. deperate and need help. This weekend I am just going to start tearing it apart piece by piece to see I can figure something out.

I recently purchased a 02 Concorde LX and my state requires license plates to be mounted on the front in addition to the rear. There was no mount/bracket/placeholder thingy for the front plates. Where can I get it? A part # would be extremely helpful!

Also, the correct term for the "thingy" would be much appreciated :D

Car works great (except new leak in windshield resevoir I haven't bothered to fix). Manual says replace at 105k miles which I'm 2 years away from at this point BUT also says replace at 7 years too. It has been 10 years. Should I replace now? Cost is 650-800 where I live. Should I go to dealership over local mechanics? Thanks.

Got in a debate today with my son. He is driving his Ram Charger up to Vail today, and will need chains for a good portion of the drive. I suggested it would be best to put them on his front tires and keep it in 4 high. That would put the weight on the both the steering and the drive where if you put them in the back it would not have the weight on them that he may need in the snow. Though he did not have an argument as to why, he felt it would be better in the back.

So "What say you?" chains on front drive or rear drive for the Ramcharger?
