Hi, I live in Los Angeles and I heard that people with hybrid cars get some benefits like free meter parking. Does anybody know about this? Thanx.

How many time have you gone to use a Public Convenience in the street, in a Petrol Station etc., and it's either closed and/or 'Out of Order' because it's been vandalised?

I would like to see along with the satnav, air bags, parking sensors and all the other 'extras' they put in cars - a collapsible loo - anyone ever seen one on exhibt anywhere please?

You know - you press a button on the dashboard and out pops a fully-selfcontained toilet, complete with automatic airfreshner - right out of the back of your car - wouldn't that just be great when you're in the middle of nowhere - especially for the ladies - they're always wanting to 'spend-a-penny' every five minutes aren't they?

10 points to someone who can give me a 'link' to something like what I'm describing please?

Why are car license plates YELLOW on the BACK of the car, and WHITE on the FRONT of the car?


Just something that always made me wonder (jeez I sound like such a geek)

I thought it might have something to do with electrical grounding but that is just my guess.

My tyres need replacing and the rears for example are 295/30 ZR18's but also come with an N3 rating.

I have seen various options from different manufactures where some are a N1, N2 or N3 so which is best?
I understand the other numbers but what significance does this number play?
The car is a Porsche 911 and i know i need specific tyres with the Porsche fitment because the Porsche rims.

Is N1 the better tyre or the N3?

This might sound lame but I wonder if people can help me by forwarding me links to websites that have instructions (step by step) on how to drive a manual car - including all the little details - when I should shift gears, at what speed, how to do hill starts - that would be GREAT thanks. I'm taking driving lessons anyway but I'm poor and can't afford too many, if I can learn the theory also it will really help!! THANKS!!!

It is sometimes possible to move a vehicle with a manual transmission just by putting it in gear and cranking the starter. This is useful in an emergency situation where the vehicle will not start, but must be immediately moved (from an intersection or railroad crossing, for example). It is also easier to put a car with a manual transmission into neutral, even when the transmission has suffered damage from an accident or malfunction. Many modern vehicles will not allow the starter to be run without the clutch fully depressed, negating this advantage, but some manufacturers have begun to add a clutch start override switch so that this advantage may still be enjoyed when necessary.

i did a quick search on google and found lots of trucks that have the clutch start override switch. Does anyone know of any sedans with the aforementioned clutch override switch or equivalent?

I was told when you ride with your windows down the wind slows your car down and the car works harder to maintain your current mph. On the contrary, i was told running AC burns a lot of gas as well. Which burns more GAS?

When I first started to drive an engine was being developed which instead of pistons had what seemed to be a revolving cylinder. I think it was called WANKEL (I've almost certainly spelt this incorrecty)

I am 16 and can't wait until I drive. But when I am in a car and my dad switches the window wipers I have the habbit of following them back and forth.

Will this affect me when I can drive next year?
Is there any way of me not being able to follow them when in a car?

this engine was developed at the same time as the catalyst exhaust, it gave out far less omissions, in fact ,less than government requirements for some years to come, but the politicians opted for the catalyst which has been a dismal failure.
