    What is the best pickup truck ever made?

    1986 Ford F150. Pretty much any mid-80s F150. Mid 80s Toyota pickups are pretty long-wearing too.

    Would you recommend buying a 2009 toyota tacoma?

    No. If you want a car, buy a car. If you want a truck, don't buy a new Taco. It's really just a car with a gigantic trunk.

    Questions about a VW Van?

    Ah, the bay window. One just like that, or a newer one like the Vanagon? Similar, but different. MPG on an older VW van like that in good tune, you can expect 20-25mpg, and that's pretty good considering it's probably older than me. You can do better by changing the gearing and improving the...

    Why audi's quatro not necessary.?

    You don't need Quattro if all the driving you ever do is on a dry track. For the rest of us who exist in the real world, Quattro is not needed most of the time, but when you need it, it may make the difference between needing a new car, and being glad you've carried around the extra weight...

    Fan has stopped working in GMC Denali -- causes?

    Could be the fan motor has died itself, could be as simple as a fuse. Check that first, since $5 gets your fan going and gives you like four extra fuses for next time. As for cost on a new fan motor, get Googling - you didn't tell us what year your ride is so there are questions only you can...

    LIFETIME warranty on a used Toyota pickup?

    Don't you believe it. That so-called "lifetime" warranty is usually a very limited, narrow-scope coverage. Like on body rust-through.

    How did my tire become unbalanced on my truck? and is it unbalanced or something...

    If your truck rides on alloys, the weights used to balance them are usually just stuck on. Sometimes the glue fails.

    Fuel Sending Unit on 1999 Buick Park Avenue?

    Yeah, the sending unit is going toes-up. It's located inside the tank. You'll have to drop the tank and remove the access plate on its top to get to the unit. Here's a link to a direct bolt-in replacement...

    What are the best tires to buy for a 93' Honda Accord?

    Round ones! Seriously, you didn't specify what sub-model your Accord is. 14" wheels or 15"? Any good all-weather tire will suit you. You don't come across as a gearhead or fast driver, so you probably don't need expensive, grippy tires. Goodyear, Michelin, Bridgestone all make good tires...

    My engine started making a power boat noise?

    I'm guessing exhaust leak. How old is your car? If it's more than five years old it's old enough to have a burn-through somewhere, or a clamp worked loose. It probably isn't dangerous but it isn't something you want to ignore, either.

    Brighter bulbs for 2006 Volvo S40?

    Your language use suggests you're writing from the UK or somewhere else not in the States. I'd not be able to touch the legality question, you'd have to get on the Web and look up your local laws. As to the HID, you can usually find a kit to fit HID lights, even headlights, to your car as an...

    Deal on a brand new Jeep Grand Cherokee V6 4x2 Laredo?

    It sounds like a pretty good deal pricewise. Be sure your BIL is showing you all his cards with that deal, sometimes to take one kind of price you have to give up certain financing privleges on the other end of the deal. Bummer. This is just me, but if you're willing to settle for a 4x2 Jeep...

    could you fit a 427 cobra engine in a 1973 opel gt?

    No. I mean, you COULD, but you'd really be building a whole new car from the firewall forward...and a new tranny, so you'd need a new tranny tunnel, and of course the rearend is going to be all new... It's a cross-pollination job anyway. The Opel GT is a GM product, if you want to keep it all...

    Dealer has a '05 Toyota Corolla S listed for $11,000. Do you think I would be

    No, unless the accident is not mentioned in the dealer's description of the car, and it was a significant accident. I think you have a shot at getting him down to $9500 though.

    I have a 96 buick regal that won't turn over. The battery is charged, no

    Check your ignition switch, check the starter relay. The door locks cycling is a little peculiar, if your car automatically locks the doors when the car's moving, that suggests there may be a problem with the computer.
