I read a post that said 2 long, one short and one long. Are there any other combinations and do they mean anything? They only blow them at RR Crossings, right?

I seen on TV one time an engeneer said it was 'one of the longest walks you'll ever take' when an engineer hears or feels something, they HAVE to stop and check to make sure it wasn't a person. Is this true and what are the rules for when you should stop?

What do you think about the ML350 - 2006 model ?
Is that cost a lot to maintain a Mercedez ?
Please advise.
Thanks in advance.

So far I have:-

A feather, a pepper pot, a picture of George Bush, a used train ticket, a traffic cone, a picture of you with somebody famous, a 1 meter high weed, 10 different beer mats, a newspaper from a week ago - so you can see the type of 'fun' things.

Can anybody help me with any others that they have had to collect on car rally's that they have been on before?

Cheers

something is draining the battery or the alternator, the lights where dim on the inside of the car before it shut off. And then8 hours later it started up again and drove for about 10 minutes or less before it died out again.

Some roads around town run parallel to train tracks and you can see big metal bars that the trains go under and they have lights on them. It almost looks like traffic lights for trains. Is that what they are? Sometimes they are red, I think sometimes green, not sure. I was just wondering because it would be interesting to look at those and know if a train is coming and how far away it is.

Please list the most powerful cars that you in following categories:
1- HorsePower
2- Maximum Speed

Bugatti Veyron is said to be the most powerful, but I know that Ultimate Aero produces 1046 hp (vs 1001 for Bugatti)

Modified cars are also Ok.

I own a 1992 Mitsubishi Eterna, v6 auto. No matter what gear you shift it into, the car doesnt move, no abnormal sounds or anything. None of the gears engage. What could it be? torque converter?

I hear somewhere that it's not good to shift your car from drive to nurtal while your car is running [or forexample crusing on a downhill]. I often times travel on this road where it is a downward stretch which you don't need to accelerate at all for about a whole mile. By switching into neutral for the moment, and then switching back into drive at 40mph a good idea? or will it completely **** up my transmision in the longrun

I have a Nissan Sentra '94,and It runs fine, but the problem mentioned happens at odd times, when I least expect it, but it sure is happening more often now(maybe twice a week) and when I try to start it turning the key,there's no noice( no click or anything) Also, the head lights are fine while it's happening. I've been told that it could be the ignition coil, or maybe it has something to do with one of the battery conections( could be corotion on the cable or wore out) anyone here who's a mechanic or had this problem before? Let me know what you think please.
