My daughter needs a new car, but she has a 2 1/2 and 4 year old and is trying for a 3rd child. What would be a good car with good gas mileage that would accommodate 3 car seats? Is there such an animal?

My friend is looking for a vehicle to buy that would be good on gas and also can carry his bike. He has one of those touring bikes and he hauls it around alot. What car would you recommend for him. Keep in mind he is 16 so he doesn't have a lot to spend. He is also interested in a stick shift car so other recommendations for that would be nice.

Hi all, thanks for reading my question!

I have a subwoofer and amplifier from my older car and would like to install them for my new car (Toyota Highlander). The CD stereo is the original stock, and I have already taken it out of the dashboard and checked what optional outputs it has on the back. It actually did not have a subwoofer output. When I asked car audio staff at Best Buy, he said that we can use a splitter (I am not sure if it is correct) and get the cable hooked up from the speakers on the door.

I know if I take my car to car audio shops, I can get it done fast. But I dnt want to leave my car for a few days because I need to drive it everyday. Have someone done this before ? Is there any website that instruct the installation or sell the splitter I have mentioned before ? Thank you, all!

Sid asked:


I noticed a clicking sound coming from my car engine recently. I did a quick check in my engine and found that I was very low on oil. Usually I check my oil every couple of weeks but I was extremely recently and forgot to do any regular checks on my car. Anyway, I went today to get my oil and filter changed at the mechanics, but its still making the clicking noise. Is there something else that could be causing the clicking? Like the engine belt or the valve tappets in the engine?

salondon asked:


The noise is tempremental, some journeys, there isnt a noise and other journeys the noise is there! Its coming from the bottom of my car, i think its the wheels, as it sounds like a rotating squeeky noise while im driving, fast or slow.

The car is MK 5 VW Golf, i had the cambelt changed couple of weeks ago, can this be related?
