How do hybrid cars recharge the battery on highways?

Cam D asked:


My understanding is that hybrid cars recharge their batteries while braking, but what happens if you drive a long time on the highway where there’s relatively little braking? Does the battery die and you have to use the gas engine only until it recharges?

Do rental car companies make any modifications to their cars to keep the speed down?

For instance, do they somehow induce a shimmy at a certain speed? I’ve rented two cars, same model and year, same company. They both began to shimmy at approximately 70 mph. It felt like an out of balance wheel at the right front, and I’m curious if this is intentional on the companies part.

torchred8604 asked:


Ok, I’ve been interested in getting into painting cars and doing auto body work, possibly as a future vocation. How do I get into this? Are there schools or classes I can take? Do I try to find a job somewhere where I can learn? I’m pretty clueless. Some advice would be great, especially if you have experience with this kind of thing.

How to know if a cars check engine light has been tampered with?

akamarvalous asked:


I am in the market for a car, but three of the most recent cars that I have tried to buy have check engine lights. This is why I always show up to a dealership a day in advance of a schedule appointment just in case.

My question is if I buy it from a private party and/or dealer, how do I know that the person/salesperson didnt just disconnect the battery to temporarily remove the check engine light or use an OBD machine to reset the code?
