does the car speedometer measure in average speed or instantaneous speed or both??

I'm not afraid of speed. I have a fast road (R1) bike.
Note that I'm afraid of heights.
I have a car. But not a fast enough.

Why do all repair shops (I whent to 5 of them) try to con you in to getting a rebuild if you don't need one and why do they all try to act like they are your best friend they all suck at acting because you can tell that all they want is your money as evident with my encounter with Amco transmissions. As soon as I said thats way more exspensive than the competion, why do you charge so much money 2600 compared to (1400 to 1600) he almost immedatly stoped the whole I'm your friend bit and he said to me infront of other people because I can charge that much so if you don't like the price than go some where else. This really pissed me off and I think it made the other people their think twice about having there cars at such a poorly run shop. So before I left I told the guy that he was a peace of S%$T and that he should not be in biusness. I also felt like telling the rest of the tranny shops the same thing but this a hole just made me so mad.

i.e. what's the impulse behind rubbernecking? also it doesnt have to be a car wreck. it could simply be flashing cop lights or anything really on the side of the road that people seem to be fascinated with. anyway its annoying because it slows the flow of traffic down. why doesnt anyone care about slowing traffic down to s standstill because they're so obsessed with something on the side of the road. the most annoying part is when the "happening" is on the other side of the freeway! ugh.

Budget is $100. We already called church buses, public bus companies, car servives, and van rental services ... resulting in no availibility or exceeding budget.

Any suggestions?

in other countries, such as Spain and Italy motorcycle racing is probably the #1 sport next to soccer. It's mentioned in the new right along with other major new events of the day. THey show qualifying and practice on their major news network. We get nothing here. SpeedTV (NASCARTV) only throws race fans scraps, and ESPN doesn't show it.
Legends like Kevin Schwantz, Wayne Rainey, Eddie Lawson, Freddie Spencer have made racing what it is and are revered all over the world for it, but they are pretty much unknown in their own country...sad.

Maybe it has to do alot with Harley Davidson. Most of the bike manufacturers are Japanese and maybe any promotion will directly compete with HD, and for the fans, maybe it will compete directly with NASCAR Which is hugh here in the states...I don't know. It baffles me.

just got a JVC CD Player (used)
and I've hooked everything up right
and when i turn the ignition on or crank the car,
it wont come on.
I can press the 'display' button and the lights & time will come on,
but thats it
the power button doesn't do anything...
and when i first plugged it up and turned the car on,
it said 'SEE YOU' and turned off
i did this a lot and then it sometimes say's 'HELLO' but then turns off.
i checked the fuse in the radio
and i ran the radio directly to the battery also, hot and ground. Help! lol!
The model is KD-S570 too!

Turck : 97 Ford F-350

Just added a new "low pressure switch" to get it working. Charged it to 45 which the dial said was a little high but still ok.

Shouldn't it be better than every 10 seconds?

Please help! It's hot and it is barely cooling.
