I have read that Northrop did testing on a B-66 in the 60's, that showed with a 65% laminer flow, range was increased and fuel consumption was lowered by 1500 pounds per flight.

My brother and I bought 2 new bikes for a summer vacation. His 1200 Bandit leaked gas and ruined the motor before it got 2000 miles. We asked Suzuki to replace the motor so we could go on vacation. They said it’s to expensive and would cost $3000. After 4 months and the vacation gone they got the motor rebuilt at a cost of $3700. The dealer wanted to replace the motor but Suzuki squashed that. The gas stained cases and burnt exhaust pipes were not replaced. The bike got nicked and scratched all over from being apart for so long. It ran like crap and looked worse. We called Japan for nothing, and even wrote the US CEO all for nothing. We spent $15,000 for the bikes to get Fd. We spent our vacation hassling with Suzuki, and not one person there gave a F! Beware Suzuki’s warranty is not worth the paper it’s printed on! Buy one of their lemons are get Fd like we did!

So my Subaru was stolen March of 05. I felt really sad and mad about this, obviously. So, when insurance settled, I bought another car. Here's the mistake: I decided that since I had never owned a new car and had just gotten screwed over by having my car stolen, this was the time to get what I really wanted- a new black 4Runner. Yeah, environmentally irresponsible, but I had waited a long time for that vehicle. So, soon after that, gas went thru the roof. Now I also want a smaller monthly payment due to other circumstances. Is there any way to unload this truck? I have taken VERY good care of it and it still smells new inside. Of course Toyota (where I bought it) wants nothing to do with it.

What tires would you recommend for a 1996 Oldsmobile Aurora. It came from the factory with Michelin MXV4 Energy P235/60VR16 and these tires are useless in winter for control/traction.

I have a friend who had 1 DUI. She then later got another one about 1 year later. After her second one 6 months later she received her 3rd DUI and two months later received her 4th! This means she had 4 within a 2 year time frame and 3 within a 9 month time frame. Is she going to Prison as 4 DUi's = a felony. They are barely going to court for her 2nd DUI this week. They havent even filled the 4th one yet.

I put a 3" lift and 33" tires on my 1987 Dodge Dakata and since then I go through front brakes way too much. If I need larger calipers, rotors etc. what kind of vehicle can I get them from to be compatible? I can't afford new aftermarket stuff and I have a pretty well stocked junkyard nearby. Year and make suggestions if you know.

For me it's when people say a 600 sportbike is an ok bike to learn on. I hear that all the time and it makes me shudder.

I'm driving a BMW R1150R and it's time for my first tire change. Any good suggestion for what to get? I'm looking for something at least semi-durable (5-8,000 miles). I'm not a super aggressive driver. Thanks in advance!

I am beginning to get into motorcycles. I am taking a Motorcycle Training class to learn all the basics of riding and how to avoid hazardous and emergency situations. Basically, from what I have read so far, how to avoid dangerous situations is to allow yourself a safety margin of space. As long as you have enough space to react, then you can get out of any situation, but riders get too cocky, thinking that they won't wreck and end up wrecking.

Anyway, getting back on topic, I want a good book that teaches the necessary maintence on a bike. It can be as basic as, draining the oil and adding oil. Adding transmission fluid, the correct way to drain it. How to take the wheel off, in case the tire goes completely flat and you have to go and take it to get it fixed?
How to change the spark plug? I know a lot of this seems simple to you, but I don't work on automobiles. I can do some basic stuff on automobiles but not a lot, so I need a book this basic.
