When night driving, if i go under 55mph...my headlights/dash lights/etc sort of flicker/dim. This also happens while idle when I turn my air/heat up. Is this likely the fault of the alternator?

I am losing water,but here is no evidence of a leak anywhere. Would a broken head gasket be the cause?
any ideas as to where the water is going.

I believe my car battery is dead (I jumped my car, drove home from work, and tried to start my car at home again, and it died once again). I'm going to take it to a mechanic tomorrow....does anyone know how long it takes to put a battery in a car? Is there a chance it could be the alternater, and if so, how long would it take for a mechanic to do a quick diagnostics?

Just want to know if there's a chance I can make it to work.

NOTE: '99 Camry (so battery is 7ish years old). Thanks in advance!

It has began to run rough and difficult idling. the crazy thing about it does run well once in a while.
I suspect the carburator running to rich consequently fouling some spark plugs.
I need some advice as to what to do!

I'm looking for a high performance tire that will perform well in wet, dry and snowy conditions. I'd like one that holds the road when wet almost as good as when it's dry. I need good traction for takeoffs, but good cornering as well.

The car is a Z28 Camaro with Corvette wheels.

Could driving the car until it is real low on gas contribute to the transmission failure?

This car has had a "check engine" light on and there is no mechanical difficulty with the car. Assuming this is a false indication, or service light malfundtion, how can it be disabled?

I have read from the forums that you should use sopa to stop the squeaking. I have checked the belts they seem to be in decent condition. Would using the engine degrease have caused the squeaking.

Managed to scrape my car against a pillar today and it's done nasty damage to the paintwork. No body damage or deformities, so it's just deep, wide scratches basically.

Colour is metallic black. Spoke to my friend regarding this and he recommended a place to get the panel resprayed. It's a 3dr Ford Focus, so it's the panel which includes the rear wheelarch

What sort of cost should I be looking at here?

Okay, first off let me say I know I'm stupid for buying a Neon. I learned the hard way. I'm on #2 right now. lol.
Anyways, I'm having issues with the fuel pump fuse blowing. I've replaced the fuel pump. No, it wasn't the wrong one or a faulty one, I've replaced it twice. (Which isn't cheap). I've heard a lot of talk about the ground wires being the most common cause of this, so my Question is, Where are the ground wire's located?, and Do you have any other suggestions?

i just replaced the plugs on my 2k1 max with NGK iridium IX. the factory recommended interval on tune is 100k. so should i drive 100k on the plugs or replace them on evry after 30k 40k or 50k? i believe 100k is too much on plugs, what do you say? thanks.
