I have a 2005 buick lacrosse for some reason the trunk will not open with the remote. It is a keyless trunk so I use the other trunk release button that is in the car and it still wont open. And it looks like there is no manual release button in the car either; I am stumped. Does anyone know if there is a way to open the trunk manually? thanks.

My friend and I were just talking and I asked him (my friend is a car buff) how Chevrolet came to be Chevy and he didn’t know. It doesn’t make much sense because Chevrolet doesn’t even a have a “Y” in it. So hopefully one of you might be able to help me in this conundrum.

I am a new driver and i have been looking around at cars. My car of preferance would be the Toyota Celica however im not sure if it can be insured to 17 year old because of the sports car label. I have looked at sites such as geico and all state for quotes but this has proven unsucessful. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

I’ve seen plenty of calculators that only calculate the cost of gas savings for hybrid cars vs. both other hybrids and non-hybrids. But are there any calculators for figuring in initial purchase price, expected maintenance, and environmental factors? Even better, any that show a graph showing the “break even” point for that combined cost (e.g. the additional initial cost for a hybrid will even out in x years and y months due to gas and other savings)?

1999 Ford F150 Truck- I replaced the connectors on the battery cables and now it shorts?

I had to cut off the connectors for the battery terminals. I put on generic connectors. Now the battery connection often seems to short out. I bang around on the terminals and the connection comes back to life and the truck starts, but its getting old!
It seems hard to change the battery cables out on a Ford F150 so how do I do a proper connector installation to avoid my problem?
