It's pretty easy to find seat covers for bucket seats, but what about the back seats?

I mean, they all look about the same, especially nowadays, with the two sides that pull down and all...

I know they sell covers for truck seats, would those fit? I have a 2000 Suzuki Esteem.

Our 99 Olds Cutlass rejected the emissions test with an OBD code of P1665. We had the solenoid something replaced and the check engine went off and came back on. Our mechanic said it should be fixed, but no luck. Any ideas on what other part it could be?

I would like to buy a used car. I may need to replace the car brake. The car could be civic or corolla. How much for the cost, including labor and parts? I heard that it might cost $1,000. Is it true? The brake replacement is the most expensive thing in the maintancement. Is it correct? Thank you!

Lincoln/Mercury has NO new ones in WHOLE country. After market doen't supply what I need, either. Adjustible ones do NOT work!!! Bought one from Summit Racing and sent it BACK! Salvage yards around Kansas City, MO, USA are of no help, either. Am DESPARATE for this part! Finally got car to GO, now need to be able to get it to STOP! GREAT dollar value and even more sentimental value in this car. Thanks for any REAL help you can give me. belle @};-

I'd like a quieter muffler without the interior drone (resonance) and vibration. I liked it when I first got them, but I'm getting tired of the noise which is just short of being a nuisance. Someone recommended Magnaflows, but is there anything quieter than those? And if I redo the pipes from the cats back, what size would you recommend, as I currently have 2 1/2''s off each side, to a 3'', back to 2 1/2''s out. Any suggestions?

Can you over heat your car? even with out driving it?

Well the car window sustain injury if left not slightly open, considering the amount of heat in the car?

Will it cause windows to crack, or make sounds considering how hot the weather is? Or make other parts of the car make noise?

And could it ruin your radiator? or ruin some other part of the car considering the amount of heat there is outside such as 104 degrees?
