OP is whining because he waited until the absolute last minute to handle a task that, in his head anyway, was super important. And now it's Meloche's fault? Meloche has terrific service, as...

If you have a cosmetic issue with your car that takes you a year and a half to notice, there are only 3 options:

1. You've never, ever, ever washed your car. Ever.
2. You're legally blind and...

Does it have an expired plate, at least? Find one.

Then renew the plates on your current car for an extra year, and put the newly acquired sticker on your uninsured, unregistered car. This is...

So your cousin is in jail for a couple of years and he suggests that you create a fraudulent document in order to solve a problem he left for you. Hmmm. Does this seem like a smart idea?

If...

I think your user name is scaring away all the sellers...

Just out of curiosity, what are you selling, and what are you looking to buy? Maybe there'll be a Beyonder willing to do a trade...

Get an electrical system check to see if the charging system is working.

Are you sure the insurance claim is for accident damage? Sometimes those quotes on carproof are for other things. And are there 2 separate incidents, or 2 quotes on the same incident? Sometimes...

When the battery dies and you boost it, will it run and charge the battery? If so, that sure doesn't sound like an alternator problem to me...

Many buyers are attracted to "distress" sales. In real estate, foreclosures, estate sales, etc, attract lots of attention. In cars, the buzz-words are repossessions, seizures, bankruptcies, estate...

He'll send you more money than is owing, then ask you to send him the difference.

These bank drafts are good fakes and take a long time to bounce. It's worth knowing that if you do get scammed,...

AMVIC is pretty great at blowing its own horn, I'm sure if they'd managed to charge and successfully fine somebody for $25K, they'd make a big flashy announcement about it.

AMVIC has very limited...

Count me in for a buy, as long as I can delay installation until I make it down there this summer. Or else, I'll just buy it with the group and install myself...

Thanks for your help. The car is in Edmonton, do you have or recommend any installers up this way? If not, I'll be in Calgary one way or another with it this summer.

Is it possible to install this system without drilling the bumper? I'd rather not have anything "non-stock" in appearance on my car.

Thanks.

Funny how the OP has stopped posting. Do you think this dialog will actually change his outlook, or is he licking his wounds and sulking?

Is anyone really surprised that AMVIC is useless? It always has been, this is hardly news?:dunno:

I've bought 2 from Japan, both 964s. This was a few years ago, I had a decent experience on one of them, but the other one needed some bodywork redone - the seller in Japan misrepresented it. I...

I hate shit-birds that insist on flying down the soon-to-end lane so they can squeeze in up ahead and further delay everybody else. Guess what? You're not that important.

I hope your passenger...

Anybody know anything about the used Cayenne market? I found a nice 2006 Cayenne S for low 30s, and I think it can be had for less, maybe high 20s.

I'm not a huge fan of how they look, but I like...

Listed phone number? Maybe call and leave him a message?

I considered an RV, but I did that a few years ago and lost money. I was looking at asking prices, and it looked like I was buying well, but it was very tough to sell. Plus expensive to drive back,...

Good suggestions. Not sure if I should look at a dealer in Phoenix, or shop the private market through Craigslist, Kijiji, Autotrader, etc. Likely the same as here - likely paying a few more...

I'm heading to Phoenix in a few weeks and I feel like buying something and driving it home. I haven't bought anything state-side for a couple of years, but I always enjoy the drive, plus the...

neutral safety switch?

I never had a problem going to your average lube shop. To be on the safe side, call in advance and confirm they have a filter in stock.

The weird thing is that these ads are so easy to put up, and it's such an effective way of inconveniencing somebody.

But if I were the scammer, and I was really irritated at the continuing phone...

Curious to know if the guy's name will pop up again here. If he's a regular trader in old cars and parts, and if he generally handles business this way, you'd think it's just a matter of time.

Never heard of that warranty company. But if you got it from your mechanic, presumably the shop you go to is an affiliated shop. Ask him what his experience has been with claims.

I'd avoid any...

It's typical jealousy. Why should a rich guy pay a higher fine? It's ridiculous. charging a guy that kind of money for speeding is just moronic.

By this principle, should young people get...

What's the big deal? A young guy buys a car, maybe he doesn't have a brother or friend with the experience to help him out, so he calls you for help. Doesn't sound like he's that hard to deal with,...

I'm going to drive around all night and burn as much gas as possible, in the hopes that I'll have an empty enough tank to save some serious cash.

I figure there's 2 ways to discourage damage at the shop. First, always bring your car in clean - they're way more likely to treat the car well if it looks well cared for. Second, I take pictures...

Awful cars. Family friend bought one in the early 90s brand new for about $7000, couldn't get $2000 for it 3 years later. He was about 50,000 km into it, and had replaced just about everything at...

And are Blizzaks snow tires or ice tires? Ice tires are awesome on the ice, but don't always get you out of a snow drift. I think shoveling might have been your only option.

Guy's a douche. And I always figure if you have the cash for a supercar, might as well pony up a few extra dollars for a winter 4wd. Who would want to coat that car with sand and salt?:dunno:

Great, another law we won't enforce. We have lots of laws regarding safe equipment and safe driving, they're sporadically enforced and publicized.

This should be an insurance issue - if you have...

Is your heater core leaking? It's not normal to have that much frost build up inside a vehicle unless there's a source of moisture somewhere. Can you smell coolant? Or do you have a habit of ...
