TreeHugger asked:


I always have trouble Telling if my car is straight once I’m in a parallel parking spot. Is there a trick that can help me to tell that it’s straight and how far away from the curb my car is?

Some one keeps blocking my car in when i am viisting my mum. I leave the car on an unmade public car park, there are always plenty of spaces. This has happened several times now by the same person. When i asked them politely not to block me in and park somewhere else, they got abusive and after i had left they went in to have a go at my mum and dad!

I’ve just had installed the Avistart 4113 remote starter on my car and the car seems to start by itself. I’ve been back to the Mobile Best Buy for 3 times in the last 5 days, they even replaced the remote starter but- still nothing, from time to time I find my car running in the parking space….What’s the problem and what can I do?

Digital Dude asked:


Recently I had to pull over to the side of a road because I was lost. When I pulled over I put my car in park and applied the brake. When I shifted to drive (I have automatic transmission), I forgot the brake was still on and went a few feet before taking it off. I was only going less than 25 mph at the time.

The only thing I noticed was that the car was going much slower than normal. I’ve heard that leaving the brake on screws up or destroys my transmission but I would like to clear this up for certain.

Thanks!
