Cars and Transportation

Westport asked:


My mother in law has a Honda Accord and I have a BMW. I would like to give her the BMW and take the Accord. The problem is that in order to register the cars we would need to pay sales tax on the MARKET VALUE of each car. Is there a way we can trade cars and avoid paying sales tax? My car is registered in Connecticut. My mother in law’s car is registered in Mass.

I asked this question earlier w/o details.
I am referring to older cars (mine is and 87 Honda CRX Si) which have the annoying trait of running your battery down because you turned on your lights while driving to work in the dark and then when you get to work it’s daylight and you forgot your lights were on. Then when you get in your car to go home 8 hours later, your car won’t start because the battery is dead.
This design as a safety feature doesn’t make sense for lights which stay on indefinitely.
If anybody knows if there is a delay time which can be set on an ‘87 Honda CRX, please let me know.
Thanks.

I plan on buying a MINI Cooper or Honda Insight, someday (since gas prices are so high now). Both cars can hardly even be considered sports cars (except for the S model of the MINI which I am not talking about).

Does it matter if the car you’re driving isn’t fast? If it’s just a small fuel efficiant car (and not some fast sports car like a Ferrari or Pontiac) with red paint, will you get pulled over?

It seems like whenever someone asks this question people immediately think of a fast sports car like Ferrari. But, you have to think that there are cars such as the MINI Cooper which also come in red. If it’s true that red sports cars get pulled over easily, is it also true that any car painted red does too?

My new Honda Civic drifts/pulls to the right as it approaches around 65 mph. Don’t know if there’s a problem with the balancing or if that’s normal behavior in cheaper cars.
As an update, it’s a 7 day old 2008 Honda Civic. It wasn’t in any accident.

I’m planning on getting a new car but which car manufacturers make cars that are cheap on insurance? It seems Honda is on the higher side, but I was looking at Mitsubishi and theirs seems pretty low, and Mitsu is the one I was going to go with to begin with. Any suggestions? Assume it’s just a normal non-sports car.

This is a hommework question for my management class on strategic planning. The question states:
In your opinion, what are the core competencies in the auto industry such as GM, Chrysler, and Ford? How do these competencies help them compete with foreign makers such as Honda, Toyota, Nissan and BMW?

I looked around at all their websites, and the general impression I get is that American cars seem to emphasize performance and innovative body designs. The foreign makers seem to more simplistic in body design and emphasize vehicle longevity. Do you think I’m on the right
track, or do you have another suggestion?
I think I need to clarify that I’m not looking for suggestions on what car to buy. This is a homework question for a MANAGEMENT CLASS. Please consider the question from a management and corporate perspective. What are their marketing strategies?
