Please help Ok so just went to start my car as it has been sitting in the garage most of the holidays. And it didn't start, would barely even turn over! Any suggestions on what to do! Does it need a jump! If so how do you move an automatic! |

Identifying idiot drivers by cars. While the new Accords are nice, and it would be good reliable motoring, they don't "do" it for me compared to my Dore with 20s. Yes, call it a mid life crisis if you want, but I am allowed to have some fun after all these years working hard.... |

Speedo Adjustment Perhaps you can but what is the true correct calibration? New tyres, half worn or bald? Which brand of tyre? What tyre pressure, how much weight in the vehicle? No matter what you do the speedo will never be 100% perfect. To me it makes sense |
