Cars & Transportation - 11 July 2006

My brother & I bought 2 new bikes for a summer vacation. His new 1200 Bandit leaked gas and filled the motor with gas and ruin it. We asked Suzuki of America to replace the motor so could go on vacation. They said that's to expensive, it costs $3000. They messed around all summer and 4 months later had the rebuilt at a cost of $3700. The bandit ran like crap and looked worse. The gas stained cases and burnt exhaust pipes were not replaced, and the bike got scratched and nicked all over from being apart for so long. We even called Japan but got no help. No one in Suzuki gave a damn. We sold the bikes because summer was gone and thier warranty was worth less. We loss $5000 and got no vacation just a huge hassle with suzuki. We even wrote to the CEO and did not even get a letter back from him. Every one be warned Suzuki's warranty is not worth the paper it's printed on!!! If you get a lemon your Fd! And they don't give a F!!!!!

okay, do you think its fair that his life is totally ruined; he was below the legal limit .038...the limit is .040...and now his life is completely ruined because the cops still pressed charges against him...Do you think he deserved such harsh treatment?

A couple of days ago I got a letter from the Police saying I had a speeding fine and would get some points on my licence .The car registration number is mine. However, today I had to go into town and was also going to post of the documents for the speeding fine (like the license number and the declarationit was me driving) and I parked in a multi-storey car park. For some reason I forgot where my car was parked and was looking around for it on loads of different levels. I was looking for my number plate as a lot of cars have a similiar design and colour to mine. I discovered the same make car as mine with my car plate number on it.!The only difference is the colour of the car. The make and car plate number is the same...even the same dealership. I even checked there and then ...as I had not posted the letter off to the police yet. Is this possible? I am pretty certain in reference to the speeding fine ...it is me..but how can someone else be driving around with my car plate number?

The spec says “5.4 U.S. gallons; including 1 gallon reserve” but I’ve been told by the shop that far from all of the 5.4 gallons are available on a US model. The reason should be environmental changes made to the US models. Do you know how much is available and how much of it is the reserve. Thanks in advance!!

Less traffic, less fuel consumption, everyone would be motorcycle aware and a lot of people out there could use a little toughening up.

This whole idea of having a roof over your head when you travel is fairly new.

Sometimes it will start and she can drive it, other times, it won't start and she will have to wait awhile for it to start again and it will either start, or, it will start, but eventually die while she's driving it. Does anybody have any explanation on why this is happening to her car?

I am in the process of looking for a used BMW 3-series (all-wheel drive). I am wondering whether to get a stick or an automatic. Have any of you have good or bad experiences with either? is reliability better or worse with one or the other? Is the stick smooth and precise? Thanks a million!

What could be causing my cruise control to automatically come on in my car? We did have a real bad thunderstorm today when I was at work and it happened on my way home. The cruise control light comes on and then the gas pedal goes down on it's own. The car will stop when I brake. I am going to get it looked at tomorrow, but wondering what the possibilities could be? And if you have ideas, about how much to fix if that were the problem?

what's the cheapest/most effective way of increasing preformance of my 15yr old 1.8litre diesel pug205?
I know that increased pressure/volume/coldness of air intake should theorectically increase acceleration with fully open throttle - but what gives substantial differences? any other recommendations?
