I just hydrolocked my 2005 Mazda3 and pretty much totaled the engine (or so I think), and was wondering what my insurance status would be given that I had an AEM aftermarket cold-air intake installed. I fear they might not give me a dime, but maybe some of you have had similar experiences... any chance I would only have to pay my deductible, or is that too much to hope for??

I bought a new, 2006 Toyota Tacoma, Red. WHen i bought it, in the deal,he said that they would touch up a piece of chipped paint from the bumper which is about 2 centimeters long and one wide for free. So i after talking to my dad, he said that hes had experience with this, and when they touch it up, it fades sooner and chipps off again,i asked the service guy if they can take off the bumper and just repaint the whole thing. He said thats so problem it will only take like one or two more days. When i got it back, they only touched it up, you can still see the black of the bumper where the chip was and now, they didnt whipe off all the wax in impossible areas when they re waxed it,theres a black mark on the side of my car which was not there before. What should i do now,I need to get it repainted and i dont think i can trust them again, b/c they lied stait to my face, twice. Also, can i get it for free at another toyota dealership or their sister ones? its Toyota of Orange im dealing w/

Here is a video clip of a woman being tasered by the police.

Many americans are angry that tasers are being used by the police. Many americans think tasers should either be banned or that they should only be used on citizens in deadly situations.

I need the contact breaker point gap settings for a Harley Sportster. The engine is on a 91 Sportster frame. I really don't have any idea what the actual year of the engine is, but it has points and condenser which puts it between 70 and 78. any help would be appreciated. Also, it is running pig rich even with a different carb on it. Making me crazy.

Can anyone out there advise me?

2003 Nissan Murano, SL AWD
Loaded except with trailer hitch, xenon bulbs, BUT NO GPS, Traction Control, Stability Control and Tire Pressure Monitoring.

The Murano has The premium package and Leather package and Xenon bulbs and a tow hitch! From what I can tell, it has EVERYTHING except the GPS, Traction Control, Stability Control and Tire Pressure Monitoring.
It has 22,600 miles on it and it has had one owner. (female and high heels from what I can tell from the hole in the drivers floor mat...that's what the salesman said anyway)
There are a few cosmetic problems on the interior (the little spring loaded doors stick, the floor mat hole, the passenger sun visor doesn't click into place anymore.)
But the car looks like its been used lightly and garage kept.
The original asking price was 25,995 but They offered me 24, 800. I told them I didn't like the 8. They came down to $24000.
Can I get them lower or is this the deal to jump on?

construction work is going on across the road from my house and, at times, on the road itself for at least a year now. my car, which is parked on the driveway, collects a layer of dust every single day. so to keep my car clean, i either bring it to the car wash or spend my own precious time washing it. can i get monetary compensation from the construction company, the city, anybody?
