Is my car safe to drive without the ABS working? what kind of car? does it “feel” safe to you? my guess is fixing existing vehicle would be cheaper than replacing with another vehicle (who knows what headaches you’d end up with?) do you have full coverage insurance? does the mechanic? if so then just keep driving, lol
How Long to Drive Car Before Bringing It to be Inspected? I’ve heard that if you run your car for a while there’s a better chance of passing the emissions test on a state inspection How long should it be run? An hour on the highway? Just 15 minutes around town?

How dangerous is it to drive with a broken strut? - Car Talk Community I had some work done on my car today and the mechanic told me I have a broken right strut (I do trust the mechanic to be honest ) The quote to fix both was $715+tax It’s a 1997 Toyota RAV4 with 227K+ miles Putting $800 into (after I just put $300 into it today) makes my stomach hurt Especially, since I have a $1900 daycare bill every month! I don’t mind putting $600-ish into her every
How frequently does stored car need to be run? I’m frequently out of town for periods of one-several months I have a trickle charger on the battery I thought if my neighbor came over and drove it around the block once a month that would be enough, but just read that it should be every two weeks, for a half hour, to prevent, among other things, seals and gaskets drying, oil congealing, and rust forming How often does it need to be run?
Using a Temporary Spare Tire on an AWD Vehicle - Car Talk Community I own a 2009 Subaru Forester, and I am very impressed with its traction - invaluable during our North Dakota winters However, the owner’s manual advises to ONLY use the temporary spare on the rear wheels, and only after making the vehicle FWD vice AWD by inserting a spare fuse into a certain spot The temporary spare must NEVER be placed on the front wheels, otherwise serious damage may
