insane_and_sweet asked:


I live on my own and don’t have insurance through my parents so I need to know how long I have to register my car and get it insured. I live in Colorado. I have a permit and just need to find time to take my drive test for my license. And is there anything else I need to get done before my car is legally driveable? Thanks in advance for answers.

TJ asked:


The guy who sold this car to me did a kind of bate & switch & lied to me about having the title. He wrote up a bill of sale & after I paid him the story changed. He said a dealership actually owned the car & it couldnt be released until they signed off on it. That was 3 weeks ago & they’re trying to get the title transferred from another state now. The cops said it’s a civil matter but the guy hasnt any assets to attach.

mytchristi asked:


I drive a big suv and would have been begging my husband for years to get me a “veggie”. I have three children I haul everywhere so it has to be at least 4 doors, don’t want the expense of a new/hybrid car. What are the pros/cons of buying on older diesel car like a mercedes and converting it to run on vegetable oil?

Can you repair windows on car peppered from a power washer that had sand in it?

ganna asked:


My son ran his car through his work carwash and it had sand or something in it. Now his car and the glass are peppered with tiny little pits. No, suing them is not an option. Is there something you can do for the glass. Lights from other cars catch in them and the glare in the car from the windshield is bad.

When I turn my car on, I want it to say something like…

System Check, Complete. All systems go. Good Morning.

How and what can I do to make this real?

Why is speed in automobiles important, if at all?

Saturday, November 15th, 2008

Norman C asked:


I constantly see car enthusiasts drool over top speed, horsepower, etc. It seems like pointless spec wankery for immature teenagers that may or may not have licenses – the speed limit on roads is often more than adequate, and there are usually too many people on roads, even interstates, to take advantage of 100MPH+ speeds, which are probably dangerous to all but the most experienced drivers anyway. Is there any practical value to having an excessively “powerful” car, or is it just a superfluous and in most cases environmentally detrimental remedy to an immature insecurity?

gio_gda asked:


I will be renting a car for my next spring holiday and I have 3 kids age 4 yrs, 2 yrs and 6 months. I can barely fit the car seats in my Zafira and I’m afraid that I will need to rent a big car to accomodate the seats. Thanks for your time!
