if hybrid cars are designed to save on gas, why do they cost so much more? you’ll just spend the same anyway

**musicman** asked:

what is the point on buying these cars? auto manufacturers say you will save so much money, but you are actually spending abotu 15 to 20 percent more on the vehicle, plus maintenance costs are way higher than a standard car. Why do auto manufacturers market them as good for the environment instead? the reason is obvious, cause no one cares!!

Service Port Cap-Red High Side (the little red cap where you put your freon at) is it one size fits all?

admin — Sat, 18 Dec 2010 16:55:46 +0000

I asked:

I would like to know if the Service Port Cap-Red High Side is one size fits all. I went to midas almost 2 months ago to get my ac fixed, and they said that there was a problem with my Service Port Cap. They said that they did not have the right size cap, and they needed to place an order for it. Well I do not have my car part yet and I keep getting the run around when I call them. I stopped by a car auto parts store last week and they had one of those in stock, but the cashier told me it was one size fits all.
So who is right, midas or the cashier. If midas is right, can someone please tell me what is the model number of the cap that I need to get. I have a 2000 dodge stratus se.

Cody T asked:

Im 19 years old, am a full-time student, and work a part-time job. I made $18,000 last year, I pay for my school, car, auto insurance, and other recreational expenses. My parents don’t charge me any rent or utilities to live here and I also get free health insurance for being a full-time student. We found out I will be cut off there insurance in May when I graduate. We were preparing my taxes online and found out that with them claiming me I would owe $33. However If I claimed myself I would receive $1100 back. Could I be dropped off their health insurance and then claim myself on taxes. What would my best course of action be?

My name is Joseph. I am driving a BMW 528i year 1997. I hooked my car with a car remote starter but I have a problem with it; when I press a button to start a car instead of a car to start, the car auto theft alarm will comes off then 30 second later a car will start. What would you suggest I should do? Thank very much for your time. My e-mail is: mgala100@yahoo.com
Thank you for your answer. One more question, I still need a remote starter for my car what should I do to make sure it works? Is there specific remote starter which works for my BMW 1997?

Automatic/manual transmission question?

admin — Mon, 29 Nov 2010 23:36:22 +0000

ggpwned asked:

I read that if you are driving a manual transmission, and if you are driving while still in gear and you bring the car to a complete stop without shifting the lever to neutral, your car will stall. That is why you need to shift the lever to neutral when you are bringing the car to a complete stop (e.g. at a stoplight).

However, I do not understand why an engine for a car with an automatic transmission would not stall even though the gear lever is still in “drive”. Wouldn’t stopping the car (auto tranny) with the brakes cause the gears that link the engine and the transmission to lock up and stop the engine altogether? Is there a temporary “neutral” mode that the car’s automatic transmission goes into to allow the engine to keep idling even though the transmission is still in “drive”? Please explain this.

Also, why do cars with an automatic transmission tend to slowly creep forward (in drive) or backward (in reverse) when the brake and accelerator pedals are not pushed down at all? I noticed that, for a car with a manual transmission, you would need to shift the car into gear and depress the accelerator pedal in order to move the car but why does this principle not apply to cars with automatic transmissions?

Why High Taxes Are Bad
by Joe MartinThere’s a very simple way to demonstrate that high taxes are a bad idea. Rich people have lots of money. The best thing possible for everyone else is that rich people spend that money. Every dollar spent by a rich person is a dollar that helps employ someone else. If buying a car, auto works are employed; if buying a suit, textile workers are employed; if buying a house, construction workers are employed; if buying a yacht, dock workers are employed.

The more government taxes someone, the less likely they are to put their money in places where it can be taxed. If they stop spending, the entire economy suffers. If government lowers their taxes, they will be more likely to spend their money, thus creating jobs for everyone else.

Call it trickle down economics. Call it Reaganomics. Or call it psychology. Whatever you call it, it works. Tax someone more, they’ll spend less; tax someone less, they’ll spend more. I’m better off when they spend more. Aren’t you?

Do we need the middle class?
Kevin Drum writes that

One way or another, there’s really no way for the economy to grow strongly and consistently unless middle-class consumers spend more, and they can’t spend more unless they make more.

Was very impressed with the first two volumes of this anime. It’s been a while since something extremely well drawn with a decent region has came out in a while(as far as anime is concerned) . I highly suggest that fans of the Devil May Yell games or if you are into anime like ScryEd, Vandread and formats of such check it out. I would give the anime a five star but there is definitly a itsy-bitsy lack in character effect up. I mediate this is due to the fact that Dante, Lady and the rest are already established characters in the gaming world.

This was a fun bloody and laughable and gorey fun, there is no animation i like better then strong action bloody violence and this is what it is. This is laughable to and very fun to sight this is a awsome series witch is very huge that they brought up with broad characters horrid storyline and bloody guts spiling out fun. I objective appreciate animation with strong bloody violence like this its very fun to see and you can look it over and over and over again its so fun to study, this is a animation with vast roar actors well of course its from ADV films but this is a hot animation. The creature demons are so awsome looking the graphic is wonderfull to, and being that i have a gargantuan HD TV its even more better with soundng and crazy action awsome series. Justin cause did an exellent hiss of dante, and hilary haag did a fun cute yelp of patty like always in her animation but this was a fun animation i can’t untill level3 comes out this was awsome fun. The demons are horrible looking with immense conclude and manufacture, this animation alone is unbiased unbelievable with a stout yarn and the whole memoir to, now you can step deeper inside the bloody truth late dante’s most uncertain missions. And these cases are even more lead filled and blood drenched then the last. Theres the demonic face late the mafia. A rock star siren who’d sell her soul for a hit song. A lowly fisherman who reels in a satanically sinful collect. And a man who succumbs to shadowy purposes to fulfill a estimable goal to monstrous results. With more monsters, hooter babes, and more brutal battles, this is the most involving anime series based on any game ever. Don’t miss piece two of the awsome Devil May Shout entertaining trilogy, this is a very fun series.
