Hello, my question is very simple and stupid, but I’m not a kfz-mechniker or spengler or anything. I missed when driving out of the garage,which was the wall still too close to the caprice, so I got a bump at the lower wheelbox at the back and the driver’s side,and a shramm from the back that looks like the car at jurassic park has laid out with a t-rex and won,because he “only” has a shramme,but a very deep one. therefore my question what do I do now? nd in front of all what is the procedure,I know would just be off to the workshop and ready,but I want to do this myself because I have a very bad certain,because I thought I could drive my baby.I know the question is strange but I can’t help it. thank you!

Which pickup (RAM, F150, Silverado)? Hello US forum, I am looking for a pickup (possibly built in 2006). We find many Dodge RAM but what about Silverado or Ford F-150. Which one would you recommend to me. Do me a favor. I am concerned about durability, engines (for me it should be a gasoline with +300hp) and spare parts. Who has experience and who can help me with the selection? A thousand thanks in advance, print

Yes and that’s exactly my question, were it sometimes security-relevant reasons or simply because chic was (is!!) ?

Hello, I recently discovered the 1976 Corvette (picture in the appendix) in the forest by a path. The engine seems to be an L 48. The TÜV has expired since 1994, the car is in bad condition (see picture). The front apron and rear apron are torn down. I don’t know what the engine and belt is, but the ignition key is in place. A few meters is also a house. I don’t know if the vehicle belongs to them. So now my question: Is it worth taking it home (I S The price will amount, if at all, to a few euros)? The Targadach is open to bits and well the interior looks like the Enstprechend. So is a restoration worthwhile, or is the thing ready for the press? Greeting Patrick

Hello. at my Dodge RAM 1500 1995 I checked the gear oil today and it was very foamy. What’s going on there? the car drives everyday and did not have any problems of its own. Except one: If it is cold and I go off and then after a short distance (about 500m) stop jumps the jump I believe on N or so when driving there is a back and the gear is back in. The rest of the ride then nothing unusual happens. That was also the reason why I opened the car. Thank you in advance Holger

Sorry, but I have to ask you something again, since I am looking for a musclecar from the period above, once a question: I was told by a US car connoisseur, “you can put in the F body what you want, he really never feels really fast” . Is that true ? unfortunately you can never really test the vehicles, what I can understand, but there is no one who can accelerate fast, or strongly, and go well, so that it is fun ? I said now a Salesman of a Firebird on a 7.5 liter phone call: power is quite good, but he doesn’t go right, you have to buy a modern car. Now my expectation bubble bursts soon, 25 to 30 mille I would spend for a Firebird/Camaro or maybe also a Cougar (plus possible mototuning to 350-400hp) and it then speeds up decently? Top speed would be pure intresses, but not the sense of buying, as cruising and sometimes giving gas. O if that’s true, there may be models where that’s different? I would be very happy about reports, because the topic is very important to me. Best regards Karl

Moin together, let’s ask a question here: I finally approved my Caddy. TÜV wanted to have 250 euros for the oldtimer report – ok, that’s already a hammer price, but accepted and checked Only the banger was on the road traffic office:153 (!!) Euro for the exemption to be allowed to screw small plates to the car. The work was 2-3 minutes, a note was printed and there was a sticker on it. That’s probably the absolute usury… Dabe i this is not a special size, but it can be used the standard registration marks for motorcycles. Have you also gathered such experiences? Greeting, Sam

Dear US-CAR Friends Drive a Chrysler (Dodge) Viper 1999. For a long time now the window lifter Right needs twice the time to open and close. Now it only manages when I help with the hand. This engine is certainly also installed in other cars. Now the big riddle “with which vehicle it is identical” All numbers on the engine: Meritor-LVS-G 400 235 8 98 120 1465 04763282 R.H Viper REG. Meritor Gordonsville TN. I would be very grateful if jema and could help and thank you already in advance for your effort

Hello together I’m going to Canada in the summer and finally want to bring my own pickup. At the current exchange rate this is also possible. Actually, I’ve already clarified everything. I still have an open question. I mean to remember in 2017 to have read about a new regulation of Pickup imports via Holland (or Germany): If you import the car with loading area cover this is safely customsed as a car. After an hour of research on the net you can I can’t find this source anymore. Can someone help me? Kind regards Lutz Rehr

Situation: You are on the road and notice that “he could tolerate 1 litre of oil, but has none with him. I quote from the product description:”Many motorists are traveling with too little engine oil and many do not know which oil is right for your car. The solution: Shell Helix Top Up – the innovative, extremely pure refill oil from Shell-Passt Always.* Works perfectly with car gasoline and diesel engines Extremely pure and high quality, easy mixing with all “Can you take this for cash? But probably better than with too little oil on the road…? PS: Does the oil stored in the garage have an expiry date? When? After 2 years? 5 years?
