OlympicChamp asked:

Here is the problem. In about few days I should be receiving my car that has bad battery. The thing is that it will be coming on a big truck that usually has 3-4 cars on the bottom and about same on top. When truck gets here I need to be able to start battery to get car down to the ground. This is the reason I cannot simply jump start from another car.

So I was wondering I can take battery off my friend’s car and use it to jump start it that way? After I do that, will it work on his car?

My girlfriend has a 2002 Hyundai Accent with about 130,000 miles. We took it to a car wash. After leaving the car wash, the check engine light started flashing and the engine shook. After about 15 minutes the shaking stopped and the car drove normally again. This happened about 3 weeks ago and there have been no issues since then. What would cause her car to do this?

I stuck Garmin adhesive disk for handheld GPS onto my car’s windshield without seeing Garmin’s note that it is “permanent”!

I’m planning to sell my car and the buyer wants none of it!

What is the safest (/simplest) way to remove this dashboard adhesive disk?

Thanks!
