    Is GM planing on giving vouchers to current Saturn owners to buy other GM cars?

    I haven't heard anything to that effect. My tax money has already helped buy a bunch of new cars for other people during the Cash-For-Clunkers program - GM is presently cruising along on taxpayer bail out money and if they do that, it simply means we taxpayers are getting shafted twice.

    does putting hot water on your car help get the snow that's frozen on there off?

    The immediate effects will certainly get the snow off - but, among other possibilities, the unintended consequences include doors and latches that are frozen solid and windows that no longer open without ripping the lower rubber seal off the door. This is not a good idea.

    Okay. So... wireless charging for hybrid cars. Good Idea?

    It takes 746 Watts to make one single horsepower - a significant recharge scheme is not going to happen without connecting wires to the vehicle with today's technology. Watts, or electrical power, is the product of the amperage times the voltage - in a nut shell, it takes a considerable amount...

    How do you really test your blower motor??? Do you seriously hook it up to the car

    Better to simply check for 12 volts at the blower connector - if it's there and the blower isn't spinning, it needs a blower motor. If it's not there, you will need to trace the circuit back and find out why.

    Would starting a car with a spark plug unplugged activate the check engine light

    Get the computer reset and get out of that inspection station as quickly as possible before they tell you that you need a engine. I bet the light doesn't come on again for a misfire regardless of the "distributor that needs to be replaced."
