Cars & Transportation - 25 July 2006

I found and engine and transmission for a mustang. It is a 4.6 standard. The guy said he didnt know the exact number of miles on the engine but it was definitely less than a hundred thousand. Would 1100 be too much for everything I would need to put the engine in the car? It would include the computer, harness and everything else I needed. He said he could give it to me for about 800 or 900 if i gave him my engine and tranny, which is a 3.8. Any answers from mechanics or people that know about this subject would be very appreciated.

Why do bikers chant: "Loud pipes save lives" and then chant "Helmet laws suck"?
It seems to me that if bikers are so concerned about safety, they would want a good helmet and one that is DOT approved.
Then again .... loud pipes are not really about safety are they?
Riding skill saves lives, being sober and not speeding.
Yes, I'm a motorcyclist (Harley's) for well over 40 years. I ride quite, respect others and get equal respect.
The NTSA compiled stats make no notice of loud pipes, but do mention helmets in saving lives.

Almost two thirds of the fatalities were associated with speeding as an operator contributing factor in the crash.
Collision with a fixed object is a significant factor in over half of the fatalities
Half of the fatalities are related to negotiating a curve prior to the crash
Braking and steering maneuvers possibly contribute for almost 25 percent of the fatalities
Almost one third of the fatally injured operators did not have a proper license

Why do they sell so many cars?

2006-07-25 14:38:12 · 15 answers · asked by Anonymous in Other - Cars & Transportation

Thanks for your kind thought. If you decide to buy it, below I have
described the transaction process in short.
First you have to make the payment of $2500. After payment is confirmed
by Yahoo they will proceed with the delivery of the car to your
address.
You will have a ten day inspection period to check that the car is in
perfect condition as described. Yahoo will hold the payment until the
ten day inspection/acceptance period has elapsed.
If you decide to keep the car the title will be transferred to your
name.
If you decide not to purchase the car you will get a full refund and
the car will be returned on my expense.
If you agree with these terms, get back to me with your full name and
shipping address so we can start the secure transaction over yahoo.
Also, for things to run smoothly I have contacted Yahoo and asked their
help regarding the transaction.



Thanks,

I have a 2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT that my dad had just recently purchased for me. Everything was great. Then my dad took it to the shop to have the oil changed and the transmission flushed because he wasn’t sure when the previous owner had done it last. The night we got it back we drove it around and the car makes almost like a really big vibration some times, and you can definitely feel it in all of the seats, drivers seat the most. It’s almost like it makes the car shake a little bit and you can hear it too. And it only seemed to do it from anywhere 30-45 miles per hour and when u would let off the acceleration it would stop and its random it happens every once in a while for 15 seconds or 2 seconds and at 30 mph or 40 mph or 37 mph and ext. And it had never done this before and we had driven it quite a bit and we would have noticed if this was there before. So we took it back to the shop and they said the transmission fluid was low so they put more in it and we took it home again. It still made the vibration in the whole car, so we took it back again and told the mechanic to go for a ride in it to feel it and so we did and of course the vibration happened and he said he had no idea what it was? So he took it back again and said that maybe the machine that flushes the transmission might have gotten trash in it somewhere so he would flush the transmission again to get it out if that’s what it was. And he called after that, and said that he took it for a ride and it was still doing it. And we have no idea what this is? We haven’t even had the car for a month yet and no one even the mechanic has no idea what it is? Can you PLEASE help with any information possible to help fix it or to know what’s causing it it would greatly be appreciated!!!

Thank you sooooo Much!!

They recently sprayed tar on the parking lot at the apt. complex where I live and sealed the cracks with thick tar. When it got hot the thick tar stuck to my tires in globs. When I go down the highway the globs make my front tires vibrate and it's VERY annoying, so PLEASE help me rid my tires of the globs of tar!! There's gotta be something that'll get it off.
