She simply cannot stay in lane--always drifts left, even on two lane roads! Sometimes half her vehicle is in the left lane. Recently she nearly hit a pickup truck passing us on the left, and when he honked, she got mad at him! Any ideas on how I can try to help her correct this problem? Maybe it...

The appropriate response in situations like this is a hard kick, not a slap.

My first car (a Renault Gordini) was RWD and had the engine where the trunk of modern cars are. From an engineering standpoint, this is the simplest configuration. Is there a reason for it being abandoned? (I know that Ferrari, etc still use it).

Sunday, on the same highway (IN 67), in the same general area, in an intersection, there was a semi overturned in the median and ahead on the shoulder there was a pickup truck with a big dent in the tailgate area. I dont know what happened, but it seems that the pu driver merged in front of the...

I drove to Yosemite yesterday (my rental was a Grand Marquis--an awful boat of a car) and everybody had to use chains in the park. It took me about 15 mins to imount a set of cable chains on the rear wheels. For people less inclined to get their hands dirty there was an 'expert' on hand at the...

http://i4.tinypic.com/104g5mg.jpg Can these things (H2? H3?) go faster than 65mph? Can they be steered without slowing down considerably?

highway 17 (twisty mountain route) between San Jose and Santa Cruz in torrential rain? I drove that highway last weekend, in an old Infinity Q45 landbarge, in heavy rain, and it was awful (and when I got back to Indy, I had to drive my Maxima in a snowstorm, and it was even worse--wide tires...

I remember reading somewhere that car manufacturers are being required to report more realistic HP numbers, and that the worst offenders were the Japs. It's happening. For example, the 2006 Toyota Avalon has substantially less HP and torque than the 2005. Same goes for the 4Runner. Same for the...

Got caught by an Indiana State Police trooper on state road 37. The cop car came from the opposite direction, coming from a blind curve and taking me by complete surprise. We were the only 2 vehicles on that stretch of road. As soon as he "saw" me he turned on the lights and cut across the median...

For doing 77 on 55 state road ('prima facie' speed limit 55, whatever that means). It happened on a beautiful, sunny day, and I and the cop (Indiana State Police) where the only vehicles on that stretch of 4 lane divided highway in the middle of southern Indiana farmland. Any pointers? I understand...

Speed limit 45mph, two lane urban road with the lanes separated by a double yellow lane. Noone ever passes there. Ahead, a traffic light just turns green at a *very* congested intersection. Miraculously, there are very few cars stopped at the intersection in my lane. I'll make it it through...

Is their goal to crush civil liberties and stomp on the poor? Lately, they have: - Ruled to ban marijuana for cancer patients - Allowed police to use drug-sniffing dogs to check out any car they stop for a traffic...

A narrow, twisty country road, no shoulder, thick woods all around. Daytime. I entered a completely blind left curve and at the last moment managed to avoid a head on collision with a huge dump truck coming roaring around the curve, with almost half of its width in *my* lane! The psychotic...
