I gotta a couple of hail dings on the hood and heard about someone using dry ice to contract the metal to remove the ding. BS or true? Technique or steps of procedure?

When driving my car, it makes a annoying scraping sound...seems to be in the passenger side wheel as it goes around. What could it be, and how much will it cost me!!!??!! I'm going to take it in to be serviced tomorrow but want an idea.

I'm wondering about the car regarding to its health, and the gas consumption.

1. Turning the engine off, and then restarting it.
2. Running the car, but putting it in parking.
3. Running the car, but leaving it in drive, and just pressing on the brake pedal.

how come on a simplton derelict auto question everyone throws in an answer, pretending they know what theyre talking about, and its usually always a wrong answer. But when I asked an indepth alignment question that would be obviously to real, smart alignment techs, I get not a single answer? Hmm..

Would it be possible that the rubbing compound was too old I bought it about 2 yrs. ago. I just don't know what else to try and i can't afford to have someone else try to polish it.

Where or how should I buy a replacement catalytic converter for my 2000 Chevy-s10. My catalytic was stolen, not damaged. And I will not still one either. I read the following off the internet, but I want to ask real people like you. What should I do? Any sites? Any personal experiences?

Any catalytic converter offered for an OBD II equipped automobile (mostly 1996 and newer vehicles) is legal for sale in "49 states", but not in California.

The California Air Resources Board (CARB) has not certified any new, aftermarket catalytic converter from any manufacturer for use or sale in California on an OBD II equipped vehicle.

Until CARB certifies an aftermarket converter, no company can legally supply a new, aftermarket catalytic converter for OBD II equipped vehicles for use or sale in California.
