A few weeks ago BP had to close it's huge Alaska Pipelines; they said gas prices may shoot up over $4 a gallon. But as we approach an election where the Republicans are very worried about losing seats, the prices are steadily going down really fast. Gas prices were to be a major issue in this election. You don't think that the oilmen we have in office really do have control over this situation, do you? Is that why there is a big drop now? Note: 6 years ago today a barrell of oil was $30.00, today it is $72.45 which is only down $5 a barrell from one month ago, during the Isreal/Lebanon war. In fact, the previous time we paid over $3.00 a gallon, oil was going for $67 a barrell. We are paying a lot less for gas today at $72.45 than at $67. Are we playing politics at the pump? Will prices shoot back up after the election? I'm curious to see how you will blame this on Clinton and not the Oil tycoons in office...

The belt from my car's air conditioner was removed because it was making a weird noise. The guy told me that he'd need to order a new belt and I still haven't heard from him. Is this an easy fix? Can I just buy a belt and put it on myself? If so how do I do this? I've looked under the hood and see the wheel the belt goes on but I don't see where else it attaches. Are there specific instructions somewhere that can tell me what to do? Or should I just pay the 100+ bucks or so to have someone else do it?

Thanks!

in april of 06 my bf had to get rid of his old car, He BEGGED me to help him get a new car. And got screwed. We got a new car and traded in his car, which he owed about 4 G's more than it was worth. Long story short, I co-signed and he got the car for 26 G's 19% interest rate for 72 mon. this was mainly due to his awful credit, mine was fair (had a score of 640 at the time). Now, I am in need of a vehicle and I was wondering what to expect to pay for my loan. Since co-signing my score took a huge blow, its gone down to 579. I'm paying off a collection, and payed off my credit card. will help that help? plan on getting a 22 G dollar car and plan to put down 5's. will this help with not getting completely shafted on the loan or help me even get one at all? I'm so afraid of getting a no because the other loan is still new. you guys have any advide that would help me get a loan or a half decent rate? been paying EVERYTHING on time, including the car. I plan to buy my car in Dec. HELP PLS!

I am considering the purchase of a 2002 H-D FXD from a private seller. It is in great shape and has less than 4,000 miles on it. The seller let me test ride it. It was difficult to downshift from 3rd to neutral. It was not impossible, but it took noticeably more effort to shift. Since I am not a seasoned Harley rider, yet, I am not sure if this is typical or if there is a serious problem. Any advise?

I need to adjust the timeing on a 84 nissian Maxima
I know its 8Deg BTDC And I know undo the bolt and move the dis- till I get to the 8Deg. But do I have to have a VAc Gauge or do I just plug the Vac line on the dis-cap? Also what side is best to look at the timing drivers side or passenger? Or is it under the car? If anyone can help ? Or give me a good web site that tells you how to set the timeing It would help me out alot
Thanks to all of you

What kind of ride ? What year? Did you rebuild her or what did you do to customize her? Most importantly is she still the best you've ever owned?
