Other - Cars & Transportation - March 2007

I don't mean to be funny ... but the economists say, "Make the car Economy Friendlly".

They shave the miles per gallon, the change the consuption, all kinds of stuff to make the air cleaner ... but it seems almost as if they go very far out of the way to make the car super super super SUPER ugly.

Why then?! Take for instance this:

Now, don't get me wrong. Mercedes has it in the bag with their C220 BLUETEC concept. 50 MPG and not too much of an eyesore.

But most of the others ... it's ridiculous. I would be embarassed to drive them.

My aunt has a Honda or Ford, not too sure, and her car only has one mirror on the driver's side. I thought only her car was like that, until I saw other similar car models with the same feature. Why is that?

My 76 year old mother was charged a parking fee eventhough she showed her handicap placard to the parking attendant when she was living the hospital parking lot. I thought if you have handicap placard in your car, parking was free. Am I wrong?

Hi, I live in Indiana... 7 days ago I got a 1996 Ford Wind Star, from a used car dealership. I made a 50% down payment and I will pay the rest off monthly. Yesterday I started having trouble with it overheating. So I took it to my local mechanic and he told me the head gasket is going bad, it will cost $500-$1’000 to repair. I dont have that kind of money to put into this MiniVan. I purchased this mini van as a family vehicle as I have a 1-year-old son and the dealership said they would not do anything to help me with this! Am I covered by a “lemon Law” Can I ask for my money back?
