When using an automatic car battery charger can you charge it first then bring it out to your car and hook it up or must you have the charger attached to an electric socket as well as to your car battery simulateously? I have absolutley no idea how this works.

I've been trying to find tips & info about how to care for your leather seats & interior in your car, however I haven't found really anything.

I know how to clean them, but as far as conditioning them & doing other things to help make them last, I don't even know where to start.

What leather cleaners & conditioners do you recommend? Where can I buy them? What tips & techniques do you suggest that I use to help improve & or maintain the quality & condition of my leather interior?

Thanks!

A friend of mine had a Plymouth Superbird and swore it was the fastest thing on the road ... until he got drunk and wrecked it. I always thought the Chrysler products were the fastest on the road at that time, but I knew a guy with a Javelin who never lost a race.

There may not be a "right" answer. I would love to hear your stories. I had a 69 Plymouth ... with a 318. Barely enough to pull that behemoth around. Looked like a muscle car but wasn't.

I've done some research on doing a baffle mod to the stock pipes of cycles in general, and came across two methods. One, drilling holes in the first wall. The second, using a hole saw to cut through all three walls and removing the baffles entirely. These sites claim no rejetting is necessary, but I'm skeptical. Any opinion or insight?

I'll give $2000 to the first person who does this for me. Go to Manhattan Motorcars, it's a car dealership in New York City, and buy me the 2006 Saleen S7 Twin Turbo that they have there. That's my favorite car. It's real cheap, only $555,000. Get it and drive it to my house for me. Thank you.

Driving up 101 today towards the beach steam suddenly started pouring out from under my hood. I pulled over and popped the hood. I had a burst heater hose and lost a lot of anti-freeze. I taped up the hose as best as possible to drive the eight miles to the next service station, but I didn’t have water to re-fill the radiator.

In the back of the Jeep we has a gallon of iced tea and a large bottle of Pepsi and a six-pack of beer. I went with the tea.

My question is: Did I cause any serious damage driving the eight miles to the closest service station using tea as a coolant? It was sugar sweetened tea. Did this make it worse?

I did drain the radiator at the service station and filled it with water (wouldn’t you know they didn’t have any anti-freeze there). And we got back home without any real problems.

But still?

I have a leak in my car's engine, it smells like gas, but it was a fine white mist that was spraying from some tube next to the engine. The antifreeze is low, was that it, or is it really gas?

I mean really, why is it that some people think they own the road that millions of people drive on every day? What every happened to a little courtesy and compassion for your fellow man (or woman)? Every day I travel the highways (I live in Atlanta) there is always one, two, or TEN idiots driving like it is everyone elses duty to move aside for them. I am so sick of it, and unfortunately, it seems to only be getting worse. What are your thoughts?????
