There are so many morons and idiots out there on crotch rockets that I was thinking that perhaps they have a Maximum IQ requirement for anyone wanting to purchase one. Anyone more than one notch above retard is turned down.

Yesterday I was in a bad automobile accident. The other driver was at fault (failure to yeild during a left turn.) I was wondering what sort of legal recourse I have in this matter. I did go to the hospital, and I have a chest wall contusion, and I plan to return to the doctor because I can barely turn my neck, lift my daugher, etc. Has anyone been involved in a battle with an insurance company? What is the best way to ensure you get adequate compensation? My car was an '85 Pontiac, and ran perfect and looked good. The blue book value is only $709, but we have put at least triple that in the car just this year (new exhaust system, alternator, vinyl top) and it is our only car. How do I make sure I don't get screwed, and get compensated for my injuries (not just the medical bills.) Serious answers only.

In the question that was asked on 8/29 "Where is my bang" The asker "egoodkiss" said his 6X9's had as much bass as his 800W RMS Pioneer sub that was hooked up to a 300W RMS amp.. Our stereo God and respected leader, SPARKY said and I quote " If your pushing 300 watts RMS into 800 watt RMS subs, well there's your problem"

HEY GOD, ARE U KIDDING ME????

I had been designing and selling systems that half the time, consisted of 200-300W RMS amps running single 600-1000W RMS subs for 15 years and NOT ONCE seen the Subs suffer, blow or had as much bass as any 6X9's ever made!!!!. In fact, according to JL Audio techs at various seminars, a JL 12W7 sub inside a ported box powered by a JL 250/1 amp will be heard bumping from down the street. Not to mention me personal success stories I've had with this setup.

Any objections?

I was waiting at a red light. There's two cars in front of me. The jerk directly in front of me starts slowly backing up. I look around - I don't see anyone trying to cut in front of him or any reason for him to be backing up. Then he collides with my car (at about 1mph)... his rear bumper is resting in my frikking license plate!
The light goes green, and we drive up to the next light. I wanted to change lanes but there were just too many cars. Anyways, at that next light, he does the same frikking BS only this time I left even more space than normal between my car and his.
He was hispanic, if that matters.

So, what the hell do you think this was about? Harassing a single girl? Insurance fraud? Racism?

I purchased two interior accent lights for my car and I want to hook them up to the electrical system. The instructions say to attach one of the wires to "ground" it. What should I attach the wires to in order to do this?

Cell phones are cool and convenient, but why can't people just drive their cars without having to blab on the phone constantly? Who are they talking to that's so important? I would guess it's either their husband or wife, boyfriend or girlfriend, a friend or someone they're doing business with. When you're driving, it's not your "free time". You're driving. Traffic is bad. The people that gab on the phone hold up traffic, they're driving slower than the flow of traffic, they are less safe because they aren't paying attention, they don't use turn signals, and they can't really make a proper turn with only one hand. Of course, if a call is necessary, why don't they don't pull to the side of the road and talk? Everyone is so selfish on the public highways. Does there have to be a law before people will hang up the phone and drive?

I heard that when it comes to good sounding bass, it really helps if all your stuff(subs, amp, and head unit/receiver) are the same brand. I didn't really buy it, until i heard my friend's system, he has all Dual brand stuff, and it sounds phenomenol. I have varied brands. Sometimes, on songs with fast paced bass, the bass will lag behind a little. My friend's doesn't do this, and he has less power, but it seems like it's louder. Would it help if i got all Dual brand stuff?

i have an eight year old car that has gone through some normal wear and a couple accidents. while approaching a light i had to break firmly when the light changed. i did not slam the brakes. the car came to a complete halt then died. i was able to restart easily. i even drove a while longer to see if the problem happened again, but i had no further issues. i have a rebuilt transmission after a rear-end collision (i was hit from behind). could this be the culprit?
