On Friday, I left my window down a bit and I ended up with a TON of water inside. I got as much as I could with a towel and left it in the garage over the weekend with the top down thinking that it would dry out. Nope. It's still wet and I need to drive it 1st thing tomorrow morning. Is there any fast way to do this? Thanks.

I have a 78 Bronco with a 351M 400 6.6 Liter. I want to replace my mechanical fuel pump with an electric one. can I just re-route the fuel line to a pump on the fire wall and leave the old one in place, or is there some type of adapter plate I can mount on the block to replace the manual pump? I believe the cause of my engine vapor locking is my fuel pump and I could use the security of having an electric high flow pump.

I have a 1993 subaru impreza gl, 1600cc, with a very small battery. Its coming to the end of its life and I have a battery in the garage from a Mitsubishi delica 4WD, that is probally almost double the size of my current, although my current 1 is very very small and old. Will it make a difference changing them? Will me alternator be able to handle charging this bigger batter?? This new battery has "80" written on the top, which could stand for 80amps? Thats all I can find out.
Any help appreciated!

So last night I was driving on the freeway and my steering wheel just started JOLTING. I had to turn the steering wheel like 30 degrees to the left just to go straight. Needless to say, I immediately exited and since i was 15 blocks from home, I just decided to try to get the rest of the way there. Every time I turned left (and left only), the car would just go CLUNK CLUNK CLUNK. I made it literally 1 foot into my driveway (which is a left turn) and then all of the sudden my tire wouldn't turn and my car just got stuck. What's the problem?

My daughter hit a car accidentally on the right from end side.
we decided, the other driver and myself, that i would take car of it out of pocket. he drove his car around a parking lot, backed up went side to side...and then left and went to work

He then calls and says it is the drive shaft bent and it will cost $500.00 to fix, so I tell him just take it in have it fixed and when you pick it up I will put the charges on my cc. He then says no, that will not work becauase he is just going to do it himself from parts from a junk yard equalling $400.00 and 100.00 for himself...so just give him $500.00 and we will call it even...the car is a 87-88 datsun wagon ...all primed gray and showing its age...should I just pay him and call it a day...or look into this farther as I feel he is attempting to extort money from me, rather than just be honest.

I have a 2002 Subaru Outback and just noticed one of the front brakes was grinding. Upon closer inspection, one of the pads was worn down and started grooving the rotor. When I replaced the pads (and the rotor) I found that only the inboard pads were both worn down to nothing, but the outboard pads were like new. I have less than 40,000 miles on the car, more than half of that are on the highway. Isn't this fast for this much wear? Why only one pad worn so much?

My wipers finally thawed out a couple days ago after being frozen in ice, but now both are working incorrectly. my drivers side sometimes works, but when it does it doesnt fully extend, or it overextends and flops over the side of my windshield. the passenger side only moves 2-3 inches. i have no idea what happened, i tried to use them once when they were frozen and my theory is that may have misaligned them or burned out the engine or something. they are thawed out and i cant see any obstructions and i have no problem manually moving them with my hands. this is a 2000 Grand Prix, the blades are fine. any ideas as to what might be wrong or how to fix them?
