Off the top of my head this is the first that comes to mind, for those of you who have foggy lights just a lil bit of effort can go a long way to improve the look of your car



there are a lot of aluminum based polishes to help you with this, any solution you use will work but usually 3M is pretty high up there..its called the 3M Headlight Lens Restoration System costs like 20 bucks

basically jus clean your headlights with water first, put plastic around it because we absolutely dont want any of the abrasive getting on the car paint..and then just slowly with a microfiber cloth buff away ..wipe it off after and voila

PS: this info is all available on web and they are pretty common solutions..i was just bored

So for the last year, i have this urge to resale my 2008 Honda, and buy a BMW or new Audi. The thing is, i am so pleased with Honda service and maintenance.....and of course gas. So what do you guys think i should do, would it be worth the BMW or Audi?

Well its not really the price of gas, though its a killer while commuting to college.....but how are the overall maintenance of BMWs and quality of the car itself?

Salam Admin Khan yeah been a while eh ? You know how it is between work and studies lol

About the car anti theft usually any standard alarm will do the trick I would personally recommend any compustar RF model It's both an alarm system and a remote start system

Also you should look into autoinsurance coverage, they will give you a rebate if you have this installed .. Don't get it installed from a dealer, they will charge you 8~900 bucks for it..get it done privately it will cost you around $300


That's a huge step up Laila, which series are you looking at ? Beemers and Audis are usually pretty comparable and if you're buying brand new pretty expensive too .. Which BMW are you looking at ? As in what series ? The 3 series and A4 are entry level sedans for these two manufactures, don't buy brand new buy something with low clicks and try to buy privately.. A new car loses 30% of it's value as soon as you take it out of the dealership

Afghan N20 isn't even available in the market yet they don't have any plans for it for any model in the US maybe the z4 might have it but even that's next year

[afghan]

i always thought the US get most of the newest models first. Laila has to stuck with her honda for now.

Europe will see variants of the same car first

Does it sound like someone is knocking at the dashboard ? Tuk..tuk..tuk

What you have is a heat actuator problem, you will need to take out the blend door and replace the heat actuator motor..once that knocking sound problem starts in a car, your temperature control system can fail anytime you won't be able to switch between hot n cold but that is considering the noise indeed does come from the dashboard/blend door
..you may have to describe the noise a bit

[Saifullah]

With the noise of A/c u cant hear much of the knocking sound...its wen i hear it from the outside its really loud sound. I opened the bonnet once and the bit where the air filter is placed (the engine top) it was rattling and shaking. When you switch the a/c off then that shaking stops...

The sound is like a metal rattling/knocking type of sound, coming from under the bonnet the sound.

I have a Nissan Altima 2004....i bought it brand new. its a good car but a bit weak. i mean its not v6 or v8 but i am wondering if there is any strong car out there that is not v6 or v8. i am looking for the fuel effeciency and strength... is that even possible...

by the way... i a huge fan of cars and if i had the money i would have my own personal garage with tons of personalized cars and drive one everyday. but well i don't have the money.
