    what kind of car, minivan, or SUV would be best for a expecting mother with a 6 ,...

    Dodge Caravans have been THE minivan to beat, especially since they started the whole design!! But I"m not sure whether it would be good to get one what with the question of whether Chrysler will be solvent much longer. Honda is an excellent car company, and their minivans are quite good...

    how much people can fit in the 1996 toyota supra?

    A supra is a tight sports car. Best if you only have the 2 front seats filled. But maybe 2 small people in back seats, too. So that means 4. But small teenagers might fit 3 in back seat in moderate acceptable comfort. But it's better to only have 4 in car for best comfort.

    i bought a bike, how can i check if it was stolen?

    You can always call local cops to run the vin #. Trouble with that is that if it is stolen, they might want you to return it. Accessory to stolen property, you would be (as Yoda would say).

    Dodge viper and the company hummer are being discontinued after 2009. Input?

    Just means that some of them wll become much more expensive as you try and get a used one. Such as Viper. I saw a solid Black one last night, and it was awesome. Don't see them much in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Chrysler PT cruiser was a nice little fun-run. Wasn't great, but was one of the...

    I have a 1993 Gmc Jimmy that turns over and will start sometimes in the...

    I just heard on a radio car show last weekend about this very thing. Problem was the ignition switch, which isn't the thing you stick the key into. The actual igniton switch sits further down in steering column, and problem might be bad contacts. Was amazing to hear that one!! other wise...

    How could you install a bed and living space in a Dodge Caravan?

    BAsically, you're trying to turn it into a mini-RV. Sounds kinda neat. You might go look at some VW Vanagons that have camping stuff in them. Little sink, stove, heater, etc. Would get you some ideas. In fact, you might be able to take some of the VW stuff out and put into the Caravan, since...

    What's a decent, older Lexus to get?

    A used Lexus for only couple thou' ? Wow, there is a santa claus.... I've looked at prices in my local area, and I'd have to go back to early 1990's to get one for only few thousand bucks. And then you're looking at very well used cars. So I don't think it's worth getting a well used Lexus...

    Will i have a reliable car for at least two years if I buy a used 1999 Mazda 626?

    I don't think that Mazda 626's are dogs, they're pretty decent. You didn't say how much mileage. New alternator and new tires mean it's got some miles on it. Alternators usually last years, so it must be at leat 150K. That's not so bad. New clutch? God, but what about other parts in the...

    My 2004 Hyundai Elantra's low beam lights will not work, the high beams do.?

    Sounds like there was a short somewhere. If the fuses are fine, then it's gotta be in the wiring somewhere. It's kinda strange that one light goes out and then the other side soon later. It's POSSIBLE for it to be a normal burnout on both, but sure seems kinda strange. And if you've replaced...

    Is the "performance chip" for a 2002 honda civic worth the money or is it a...

    Those performance chips are a big question mark. Kinda like do UFO's exist? Does Big Foot really live? Do performance chips really work? Some people will swear by them, some will say they're crap and waste of money. Some of those "chips" such as are available on ebay are just some kind of...

    I drive a 2006 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor. Please help?

    Cops have been selling their old cars to people for decades. It's not that hard to see the old cop cars, because some still have the blanked out decals on sides. You've already experienced one problem with having the car as it is, the cops are attracted to you. But the other side of getting...

    Sports car for £30,000: Used Maserati Spyder vs new BMW Z4 or Porsche Boxster?

    The Porsche Boxter is pretty nice and will hold it's value quite steadily. BMW is also pretty nice, but little more upscale modern styling. Looks neater. But to say you own a Maserati......need I say more??

    how much would getting power locks installed in my 04 Hyundai accent ?

    Probably more than it's worth. It's kinda detailed to do that. First you'd have to find any power locks that would fit it. Then you've got to do the wiring. Remember, there's usually power buttons on armrest for the power windows. So you'd have to mount something....somehow. Possibly the...
