Collectors pay top dollar for cars made in the 20s.

Back then automakers took pride in their product.

Now, anybody driving a car more than 10 years old doesn’t want to invest a dime in it because it’s virtually worthless on the used car market.

These days, filling the tank of a 10 year old car doubles its value!

And does it seem like we’re getting raped when we pay the money for what we believe is quality, but the car doesn’t end up lasting any longer than a Yugo?

Am I the only one that feels rage about the poor quality & workmanship and the high prices we’re forced to pay because of government mandated bumpers, lights, gismos, gatdgets, bells & whistles?

I just bought the car recently from a friend and it won’t pass the smog check. I know in CA, you can’t legally sell a car that won’t pass, but since I bought it from a friend I was planning on just getting it fixed. I just don’t know what I’m looking at costwise or what the probable causes are. Anyone?

I had a chevy cavalier rebuilt salvage car. I got involved in a car accident and the car was totaled. The insurance company gave me a check and left me the car. The car has been sitting crashed for like 4 months now. I want to fix it but do I need to do any paperwork? I live in the state of Texas. Can I just fix it and drive it like that?

How do you handle car taxes, when filling out taxes for the year (Connecticut), when the car is a lease? I just have something from the car company saying what was paid.
I was actually referring to the property tax paid on it.

Tracey asked:


I want to get a car from an auto auction, but want to avoid getting a car with transmission problems as much as possible. I know there is nothing I can do to try to detect transmission problems besides drive it(right???). Since I can’t test drive the car, maybe I can at least avoid some brands that are well known for having transmission issues.

I recently changed my car battery because my battery kept dying after multiple jumps, and there was nothing else wrong with the car besides the battery before the change, but now my car continually jerks and the rpms are way too high. What do I do to fix it?

First L asked:


I will be going to college soon and I am looking for a car that is economic and does not use a lot of gas (gas prices are expensive!!!). I want to know when buying a car what characteristics to look for in order to see if a car uses to much gas. I know that big trucks need a lot of gas often. But in a regular small car, what info should I need to know? A car that I looked at said that gas mileage was 34 mpg city/40 mpg hwy. What does this mean? Also, do I need to check the engine? For example, 1.5L I4, 16 valve, 106@6000 hp. What do I need to look for in order to save gas. What are the best cars right now that do not use much gas, of good quality, and economic?

It was a dramatic, mafia style warehouse meeting. People in suits wearing cat masks drove in one car, people wearing rat masks drove in another car and they met in this abandoned warehouse and this group of people dressed in suits and dog masks busts in on them and the cats and the rats all run off. It was on adult swim last year. It was really funny. Anyone know where i can find this commercial on the internet? Or what car the commercial was even advertising?
