My husband and I go to motorcycle ralleys and we're tired of the same old stuff. I love to craft and create! I would like to hear what other people are looking for when they go to the ralleys. Any ideas will be greatly appreciated. I am also looking for items for children.

I was wondering why people go to Walmart to get tires and service work done. It's always took about two hours when my girlfriend went there. Sure its cheaper but is it worth waiting and shopping for two hours?

Mechanic replaced in-dash electronic panel when air temp gauge was erratic and fan came on also erratically. Now, temp guage okay, fan still doesn't work. Additional checks could not find fan problem.

I met a guy thru online personals. He says he's a private pilot AND that he was in the US Marine Reserves or Guard and flew COBRA helicopters. I am starting to think maybe he's lying, but I don't know. Is there a site with FAA or other that at least lists names and if possible addresses for NY pilot? Thank you very much.

The Current qualified aircraft mechanics ages are from 40 to 60 years old . there are few schools that are open too train new recruits . Being a aircraft mechanic in the airlines is very unappelaing , because the pay is low and the hours are bad . Most of us work weekends , holidays , and paid the same wages that were paid in the early 80s . A car mechanic makes 3 times more than a aircraft mechanic in the airlines and dosnt have to work weekends or holidays , At One time a few years back , there were over 1500 schools to train new recruits , Now there are only a hundred . In ten years or less all of us that are 45 to 60 will retire , and with no new prospects in the pipeline there will be a crises and a shortage of qualified mechanics . Very Few in the public relize what extent of a burden that a aircraft mechanic has when it comes to performing there job , a costly mistake can kill over 100 people with one serious crash . There has too be steps taken now to make the trade more appea

I love my jeep. It's a 1999 Grand Jeep Cherokee Laredo. But lately, all I've been wanting to do is put it in neutral and let it roll off a cliff. I can drive it around just fine at a FULL tank of gas, even a half tank of gas, everything runs smooth. But as soon as the gas gauge reads under half, I can't turn left without stalling it. It'll stall, and pick up again, or it'll stall and just die out and I have to re-start it (Which is embarrassing in an intersection). I've had the gauge checked to see if it was reading wrong, I've had the fuel filter replaced, I put methyl-hydrate in the gas tank in case there was water in it, I've had it checked by 3 mechanics who tell me to "just keep the gas tank full" But it's a little bit of a pain when it costs me $110.00CDN to fill it, and it sucks gas back like a monster, and I can't use half of my gas! So I'd be constantly filling my tank since I have a long commute to work! Has ANYONE heard of this problem in Jeeps before?What can I do?

I moved from the US to the UK last year and am thinking of getting a car. Do I really need to take a driving test to get a UK license if I am licensed in the US?

i was watching a car commercial the other day and it starting my thought processes whirring.

what if:
the car companies are actually "fueling" the war in Iraq and the gas prices increasing b/c this is the optimum market to release their Ethanol fueled cars???
instead of these cars being enticing to just the environmentally conscious, they are now appealing to the masses b/c of their offer of an alternative to high gas prices.

or....could everything be "fueled" by the farmers of America?? they may have the most to gain.....hmmmmm.
and i always thought the "simple life" was pure and inoccent.....

It has an in-line filter and appears to have quick release hoses on either side. Has anybody ever used this tool and will the fuel pour out of the line when I disconnect it?

How much do you suppose one of these special tools cost?

By boycotting , oil companies will loose millions of $'s a day , maybe this will get thier attention. This will create a snowball that will effect every business and put the heat on the gaffing(oil) companies. They will understand american's have had enough.
