by Cars & Motorcycles
January 31st, 2009

Mosaic asked: I own a 92 pontiac sunbird. Due to prior ownership, the windshield is leaking and the trunk is rusting out. The car only has 118k miles on it and the engine is in good shape. I’d like to keep that car, but I’m not sure how to take care of either these problems. Are there things I can do to keep my trunk from rusting further and the windshield to stop leaking? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Don’t bother with the get a new car comment that’s not the kind of information I’m looking for.

dosankocooking asked: Hi guys and fellow auto enthusiasts. I was wondering if you know a good tutorial website about car maintenance, trouble shooting and auto repair for beginners? :)

I know how to drive a car and I studied overhauling so I pretty know something about the engine, but trouble shooting involves a lot of other things other than the engine so I have absolutely no clue what to do!

I’d really appreciate any site and I’m also sure there are beginner drivers out there who also want to learn more about their car :)
