civicexcoupe94 asked:


Seriously, what is with all these people posting useless info? I used to like coming in here and posting useful points but I feel dumbed down after reading a few of the responses on here. Full of either blatant ignorance, pure stupidity, or just guessing thinking they know what they are talking about when in fact, they have no clue.

Elijah asked:


My mom says if you leave your cars air conditioning on when you turn the car off, so it automatically is on when you turn your car on, that it hurts the engine. Is that true or is she full of BS? It sounds like complete BS to me.

Ella asked:


I don’t understand what I assume is the complex puzzle of keyless entry car keys. How does the laser work? And how does it only work on ONE car? Or can it work on other cars, but the odds of finding the other cars it can work on are very slim…?

I am in need of an expert! Explain away, someone!

Do cars burn more gas after a cold start on a wintery morning?

Monday, November 17th, 2008

irobot10 asked:


After starting my drive at 5am, I see the smoke coming out of my car in the rear view mirror. The smoke disappears after the engine has reached its normal operating temperature. Similarly one can see smoke at the tail pipe of almost all cars coming out of various subdivisions in the morning. But no car on the highway has a smoke trail behind it. Hence the question – do cars burn more gas after a cold start until engine becomes hot enough?
