They are called " vents visors " ,all parts stores carry them, most are applied with peel and stick tape. They do work well to allow the hot air out when parked and keep the rain from getting in.

I'm buying a mitsubishi eclipse used car. Which color would cost me the least?

Assume that I have a few cars with exact same features but they all differ in color. Which color would be the least expensive and which one would be the most expensive?


I am in Austin Texas.
I'm buying a mitsubishi eclipse used car. Which color would cost me the least?
Color generally has nothing to do with price, unless it has custom paint, such as flames, etc.
I'm buying a mitsubishi eclipse used car. Which color would cost me the least?
If you mean which will get you the least police attention that is always plain white. It is a Psychological thing wired into most human brains. As for buying it. Color rarely has anything to do with cost of a used car. It is mostly the dealer, your credit, and condition. If you know how to work on a car a five or six year old late model, well maintained, in good condition is always best. You avoid depreciation, you can pay cash, and to an experienced mechanic they are all basically the same. The most frustrating thing today is the electronics and computer chips. But even that is easier to deal with than new car pain and depreciation. Don't go to dealers when any car is out of warranty. Instead find and develop relationships with good local private shops. Dealers sell hoke at four times the cost.....
Reply:I don't think you have to pay for the color you're going to buy and especially if it's used. You can always bargain for a good deal and that would knock off the cost of the paint if that was the case, but I don't think you would pay extra for paint.
Reply:it seems there it won't differ , but in the arab peninsula they pay more for the lighter colors , as it reflects heat.





in a country like Egypt they pay more for darker colors (may be cause it's elegant)


Car guys!!!!! HELP ME if you know about camaros and trans am's!?

In a late 90's early 2000 edition of both cars which would yall say is a little bit better on gas? I know they both come close but lets say a 6 and 8 cyl automatic of each....THANKS!
Car guys!!!!! HELP ME if you know about camaros and trans am's!?
Trans am, a camaro has a big engine and would cost more on gas.
Car guys!!!!! HELP ME if you know about camaros and trans am's!?
The V6 would be better of fuel economy, but the V8 isn't that much worse. Especially when you're getting 150HP more. The V8 isn't bad on gas anyways. It gets like 27 MPG highway vs. the V6s 30MPG. By the way the Trans/Ams are V8 versions of the Firebirds BTW. So if it says Trans/Am on the side then it's a V8.
Reply:The 6 cyl of course but..... I would get the V8 no doubt beause the 6cyl are junk. Buy the V8 you will be happier in the long run.
Reply:6 cyl of either is better on gas than 8 cyl of either. Camaro will tend to be a little better on gas overall, but not enough to make a real difference. Probably within a couple miles of its counterpart. Either one is going to suck down the juice, especially in 8 cyl
Reply:All depends on the condition of the engine





6 cyl will use less but 8 cyl are worth it i say
Reply:Whew! I owned one of the last "Bandit" cars and loved it. Everything but the gas in 1979! These are just not gas savers. They are sports cars. I have no idea what the late 90's were like. I do know the 80's models really were bad. Starting with that turbo charged variant. You can make any car run right if you keep it long enough and take care of it and know what you are doing. But you have to fix what was not done on the production line in the first place. I have a friend who is also an aircraft mechanic. He restored a '70 Triumph Spitfire and basically rewired the entire car. It is not classic to a purist. But It is a fine little car now. Only a complete masochist would live with original Lucas Electrics, "masters of darkness". I would never buy them today, a ten year old Mita is a lot better car with same virtues. But hey different strokes to different folks. If you buy one of these its going to cost you in gas and work, unless you can do the work yourself. No matter what model you buy. None were designed with gas saving in mind.....or reliability.

What does it mean for a car to have 1001-bhp V-16 turbocharged engine?

cuz thats what the Bugatti Veyron has.
What does it mean for a car to have 1001-bhp V-16 turbocharged engine?
1001 back wheel horse power. v refers to the shape of the cylinders, 16 cylinders.
What does it mean for a car to have 1001-bhp V-16 turbocharged engine?
The Veyron has a W16 not a V16 and it's Quad-Turboed not simply turbocharged.





1001 HP = HP number


W16 = 16 cylinders and they are arranged in a "W" form(2 V8s put side by side)


Quad-turbo = 4 turbochargers.

If you don't live in New York state, and you are not a member of the US Military, then no, there isn't. Sorry.





If you want to be part of the solution, the next time you hear someone your age talking about some stupid **** they pulled while driving, EXECUTE THEM.

Car Rental?

Does anyone know of a car rental company that will allow a person age 20 to drive (not rent) the rented vehicle?





Most places will only rent to you if you are 25 or over, and allow you to add on an additional driver who is at least 21. A person over 25 is going to be renting the vehicle, but we want to be able to switch off drivers for the 12 hour trip, and the other person is only 20.
Car Rental?
I rented a car and I was only 21, but they charged me more since I was younger than 25...

California Provisional License: Driving my sibling who is a minor to school?

I'm a minor (16 yrs old) with a provisional license.





I researched and found out that you can drive minors if you have a note from a principal, etc. The law, however, is quite vague in that the excuse is "schooling". Does that include driving my brother to school?





Please do not post a link to the DMV site since the information that it provides is obscure.





Thanks in advance.
California Provisional License: Driving my sibling who is a minor to school?
I doesn't look vague to me:


"Provisional License


After passing the road test you'll be given a provisional license. If you're younger than 18 years old this requires you to be accompanied by a parent, guardian, licensed driver 25 years old or older, or a licensed, certified driving instructor while:


Driving between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m. for the first 12 months or until you turn 18.


Driving with any number of passengers younger than 20 years old, for the first 12 months or until you turn 18."





"The state relaxs the overnight driving restrictions during the first year of holding a provisional license only under some very specific situations:


"For school or school activities warrant being out during the rstricted time. (Must have a note signed by the principal or authorized school official on your person.)


Should you or your family member has a specific need to be transported during the restricted times. (Must possess a note signed by your parent or guardian.)"





Read your driver's handbook as well, I point you to pages 54 and 55.

Meineke issues... please help!?

I recently got a leaking ac "fixed" at meineke. They charged me 300 dollars for an o-ring replacement at the expansion valve and a recharge. Less than 30 miles later it didn't work. I took it back and they couldn't find anything because they "didn't have the right equipment". I'm taking it to the head manager's meineke in another town tomorrow, but they say if it is another leak then i will have to pay the full price again, except for the charging. I feel like they should fix the other leak for free, since they didn't catch it before. I live in a very hot humid place so id like to get it fixed but I'm also a broke college student so i dont have 300 dollars to just throw around whenever. What should I do?

That is Meineke's way of doing business, contact you local BBB

Fast cars/motorcycles...?

I need to know what some of the coolest sports cars/motorcycles are. Expensive, high class models.


You know some freaking awesome ones come to mind.





I need to know what the coolest things about them are. Make them foreign, please, as in not from the USA.


What are they?


How fast would they go?


Link a pic please?


Thank you!





Yes, I ask weird questions. I'm a writer, I'm allowed to be eccentric, aren't I?
Fast cars/motorcycles...?
ducati 1098 motorcycle, and a bugatti veyron or mclaren for cars

Not sure how I struck a chord with you, nor am I sure why you're writing a book, when you don't even really drive? But I just wanted to let you know that the first guy who answered is correct.


Can my car pull a horse trailer?

My car is a Ford Focus Estate and I am intersted in buying a horse trailer. I am looking at the Equi-trek Sports Trekka which has an inladen weight of 1200 kilos and a gross weight of 2750 kilos (i'm not sure of what the difference between these is?!!!) the horse I would be towing is about 15hh. Is it possible for my car to tow this safely? Or am I being stupid. Can you recommend another side loading horse trailer (I live in the UK). Many thanks!
Can my car pull a horse trailer?
This has to be the funniest post I've ever read!!! Thanks for the laugh!!





Please post the videos of the ensuing car wreck on Youtube, ok!
Can my car pull a horse trailer?
I doubt your car can pull a horse trailer.





Along with the gross weight of the trailer - you have to consider the weight (not height) of the horse - the weight of every piece of tack, equipment, every item in the trailer. You add all that up.





Your car's owners manual will say what weight is safe for your car to pull.





Usually a car can pull a small utility trailer. But that's about it.

How do I pimp out A minivan for my party?
why not just get some fluorescent colored poster boards and cut out different shapes like stars and moons or whatever 'n stick 'em on w/tape loops(something that won't take the paint off) Just a thought... or maybe make tinfoil landau bars like r on a hearse and tape 'em on the rearmost side windows.Suddenly I feel like 'Heloise' Have fun
