If a rear wheel drive vehicle is towed the wrong way for approximately 1-2 miles, could that cause something to break - causing the engine to lock up?

What are the best mid size SUV's out today? I'm in the market for one.

Needs to have at least 4000lbs towing and AWD (so most likely a v6), and decently affordable. I test drove a Kia Sorento today and was pretty impressed

What is the going rate for a 2003 wrx with ~150k miles and in generally great condition, barring some hideous rice I'm going to have to remove?

He's asking 8,500 but I'm thinking more like 3,500 just because the hood offends me.

Pic unrelated but close enough.

Keeping with the times, I believe Porsche should make a truck.

Hear me out though, when Porsche made a 4 door car, everyone hated it. Now, it sells pretty well.

What do you guys think about a Porsche truck? Imagine doing 0-60 in 5 seconds with a load of wood!

My photoshop skills are not the best.

What are some "cool" older cars that will appreciate in value later, but can be found cheap right now?

I want a cheap project car while I'm a part-time student for the next two years, I love the old Datsun 240z's but it seems like their price has already started to climb out of the price range of an older car and into that of a vintage classic

I did some research, I think it's overfilled now, and the noise must be the pressure relief valve going off. Now I have to make a 400 mi drive without AC in 100 degree heat, AND on top of that I will likely have to take my car to a professional to get the system serviced, which will be expensive.

Am I right about the system likely being overcharged? Is there more potential damage to come to the system if it is?

Point is: don't let other people touch your car, unless you are super sure about their competency.
