i have a toyota rav4 with about 50k miles on it. every time i turn it on, it makes this sound... like... change rattling around in a soup can. I was just wondering if anyone has either experienced this or knows what it could be. the weather has been fluctuating and i know cold engines make some strange noises sometimes...

I am thinking about replacing my Subaru Impreza WRX with a 2002-2004 911 C4S. This vehicle would be my daily driver (40 miles per day of mixed driving) and my weekend toy (I typically do 2 lapping school days and 3-4 auto cross events per year).

My WRX has held up very well to this type of usage, with no part failures or unexpected maintenance (I basically change tires once a year, change oil frequently, fill it up with gas and drive hard)

Will a 2002-2004 911 C4S be able to handle this type of usage without becoming a money pit? Will I be able to drive 250 miles to a race track, drive at 10/10ths of my ability for several hours and have absolute confidence the car will not break down and get me home at the end of the day?

I would really like to hear from current 911 owners who use their car in the same way I am planning to use it.

Thanks in advance!

I have the option of buying a clean little 1994 Suzuki Swift for $700 from a friend who just bought himself a new Chevy Trailblazer. Is this a good deal? Are they reliable?

He said it's just like a Metro and gets scorching gas mileage. I'm 6'4" so would I have any problem fitting in this thing? He's driving it down from West Virginia this weekend so I'd appreciate any advice I can get.

Why doesn't Chevy or GMC offer a V6 in their small trucks while all the other truck manufactures do. I test drove their Colorado with the I5 and was very disappointed with the torque and power it had. I used to have a 97 S-10 4X4 with the 4.3 before my 2007 Ranger and loved it, but after 280,000 the engine threw a rod, so it was time for a new truck. Until they give me my 4.3 V6 back in their small trucks, I will never buy another GM truck again. I now drive a 2007 Ford Ranger 4X4 with a 4.0 V6 and am very pleased with it simply because it has a V6 with torque while the colorado has no torque. Way to go Ford for making a small dependable truck with a V6 as GM can't seem to do that. EAT THAT GM, hope you read this Detroit.

I have a 2001 BMW 3 series. Both left and right turn signals have started intermittenly blinking fast for he first 2 - 6 blinks and then resumes the normal tempo. The fast blinks are similar to when a bulb is out but then corrects itself within a few seconds. The indicators that a bulb is out do not come on and the bulbs all seem okay. It will often do this several times a day but not everytime the blinker is used. Anyone know what could cause this?

I have brought my Pacifica to a couple different dealers for burning oil and I get no results. It is burning about 1 qt. per 1000 miles. They can't figure out where it is going. It isn't leaking and they won't say there is a problem cause they can't find out where the oil is going. So I call and write Chrysler Customer Care and all they do is call the dealer and tell me nothing is wrong. The dealers say they are going to do an oil consumption test and halfway thru they tell me that they don't do the test. I am nearing the 36,000 mile warranty and I fear they are going to tell me something is wrong after the warranty is up. The only people I talk to that say there is nothing wrong with my car is Chrysler Service Dept. and Chrysler Cust. Care. Any ideas??? I have run out of options to get the oil burning problem handled. I am at the mercy of the dealers to detect the problem so I can get it fixed and they can't figure it out and refuse to document oil loss on service history.

I just bought a 1987 GMC suburban 350 4x4 automatic as a project truck but the instrument panel dosen't work the lights come on but the gauges don't work. the spoeedometer and odometer do nothing, while the others sometimes float, but mainly do nothin, i checked fuses and grounds and every thing looked ok.i also checked the wheel speed sonsor and it was fine. someone in the past has put a rather expensive stereo system in it and removed the amplifier would have something to do with it?

Can anyone help me figure out what happened? I was driving my truck and it just died like it was out of gas..It had gas and I put in more and primed the carburator..it started for 1 second and then died. There was no warning that pump or filter was about to go. It had been running fine. it has 4.3 fuel injection engine. I cannot afford it if it is going to be something high priced to fix it. so I would like to know before I take it to the mechanic..Any help will be appreciated.
