I am in my last semester of college and recently my car has been acting up and began to overheat, lose coolant at a rapid pace, and the honda mechanic said that I have a cracked head gasket. They say that the repair costs will run from $1300-3600. Can i drive it home about 250 miles safely without the ngine giving up on me? I am planning on stopping every 60 miles or so to let the engine cool down and add more coolant. I know that if too much coolant gets into the engine it can cause engine damage. I have a reliable mechanic who can fix it at home and for cheap. Should I wait until i get home to get it fixed or fix it up at school? Thanks for the help.

Would buying a one owner, all stock 2000 Honda Prelude with 110,000 miles be a bad move. It’s a five speed and has been taken care of. I can get it for $5000.

I have a brand new ‘08 Honda Fit which has auxiliary controls and equipment, but lacks the jack itself. How much would it cost to have the jack installed?

I was considering a 01′ Honda Shadow Spirit 1100cc bike with 17,000 miles on it. Price was 4grand. Bike was very clean, sounded beastly. How long do those engines last? Is the buy worth it?

I have a 1986 Honda Elite 80, and the red light has come on again. I know where to empty the oil, but I don’t know:
1) What type of oil should i use? (weather is always 40 to 75 degrees where I live)
2) Do i just empty the oil and refill, or is there something else that needs to be done, like cleaning a filter?
3) How do i get the switch to go back to green once i change the oil. The last time I changed the oil, it stayed on red.
Thanks.
Sara
