Cars & Transportation - 10 September 2006

i am 16 and i am buying car and i am confused about these two cars. i dont know if i should buy the camryLE with 75,000 or the ford taurus SEL with 55,000. both have maintenance records. i have heard that taurses are very problematic is this true. please do not give me a lecture on teen drivers that should get cheap crappy cars because they wreck them easily which i know that it is not true on 85% of them. only 15 % are jackass teen drivers.

Mine was when the car infront of us the suspension had gone and the car along with the occupants were just bouncing up and down, my children still laugh about that 11 years later

I've been trying to get it off gently without scratching the paint etc. but It won't budge. It's on my window and the hood. I've tried "Goo Gone" but it only worked a little bit. I was wondering if there is a specific product that is known to work. Thanks

I recently got a bayliner 175 that had been sitting for a couple of years. I replaced the starter and solenoid and had the carburetor rebuilt.
Everything seems to work fine except when I stop for a while to fish. When I try to start the engine it will not crank over. I have to fiddle with the carburetor to get it started. I can restart the engine without any problems right after I shut it off and when its out of the water. Sometimes it will just crank right up and other times I have to mess with it for 5 minutes.

I broke my right ankle years ago and have some difficulty shifting gears. I was looking at an 883 Sportster, but recently heard that Harley makes or made a motorcycle with auto tranny. Any insite or advice. Could I get an 883 customized so it shifts on the handlebars?

it was a 2 stroke , 3 cylinder that came in a 500cc and a 900cc I think. Anyway, I ended up with one and wondered what it would be worth. Are they a collectors item?

I'm pretty sure that one of my neighbors is coming out at night and siphoning my gas, because I haven't driven enough to account for missing fuel, and there are no leaks in my car.

I don't want to have to stay up all night watching my car so that I can beat some a**, but I definately will if it comes to it. I have to be up early for school, and they don't work. How can I protect my car when it doesn't have a touch alarm?

Hi Guys
I've got a bit of a problem with my bandit, it wont turn over. I can bump it no worries but it just will not start off the key.

The starter turns but from my limited experience it doesn't seem to be working the starter clutch (bike doesn't even lurch when I try in gear).

I thought it might be the starter motor so i changed that, then the battery today (brand new battery which i fast charged for an hour) but that hasn't worked either.

I've taken the side casing off and everything looks ok but my exprience is limited in bike mechanics.

Do you guys think it may be my battery undercharged (didn't want to kill my new battery so just fast charged at 4amps for 1 hour after putting the acid in) or is it something more sinister?

Thanks in advance for any help you guys can offer

My serpantine V-Belt is still intact and I do not hear any whistleing on hissing noises from any leaking vaccuum hoses. The brakes seem to stop relatively well but it takes a great deal of force. Could it still be a vaccuum problem or is there something else going on?

While States like Maryland require passenger vehicles to have front and rear license plates, others (e.g., Florida and Georgia) don't. Does your State (hoping to get responses from the other 47) require front and rear, or only rear.
