I rode one the other day and really couldn't believe how gutless it truly is. I mean, my Road King is a total slug compared to practically everything on the street today, but the 883 Sportster is like a Schwinn with a moped engine taped in the frame and tassels on the handle bars. I think my leaf blower puts out more than the 45 horsepower these things put out. I truly don't know how my friends at Harley can, with a straight face, put their name on this product. I guess its a good thing about half of the parts are made overseas.

I was in an auto accident back in '04. I am suing the other drivers insurance. Today I was looking at my credit and saw that her insurance company checked my credit many times since then. WHY? What the heck are they looking for? To see if I need the money?

I've changed the same light bulb twice this week and each time it was shattered. Then yesterday I went to start it and the battery was dead. I got a jump, it ran fine, but some of the electric controls were not working. Then as soon as I shut it off it was dead again. I thought the alternator was shot until i charged the battery overnight, and still nothing. I bought a new battery today, it started, and everything worked electronicly. Is it a short? Is it going to happen again? Is it something I could fix at home, or do i need a mechanic?

I just would like to know how you have liked this car. What gas mileage do you get, how reliable is the car, have you had a lot of problems with it, etc. Any information would be appreciated.

If so, what makes and models are deem attrative? I perfer a man who drives a Range Rover or an Ferrari or a Bentley. They tend to be cream of the crop...just the best. No domestic brands, or cheap imports ie Hyundai, or honda...yuck. the second tier guys are the Lexus, Porsche, BMW, Benz, Infiniti brand. I personally drive an 2005 BMW M3 convertible...I need a man that has at least that, right??

a little bit of back round on this amp. its a kicker 350x4 its about a year or so old. i used it on my fronts, but i thought i needed more power then the amp was putting out. so i put the amp in the original box, and put it away. well i got the amp out yesterday to put in my girlfriends cavalier. the amp wont turn on. test it was the first thing i did, cause i didnt want to run power to the trunk, and wires to the speakers only to kind out the damn thing wouldnt turn on. so tell me if i did something wrong. i put 8 ga to ground, which was the negitive battery terminal, took a 4 ga wire put it to + on the battery, and took a 16 ga wire and put it on the + terminal as well. there was nothing. no protective mode, no nothing. i havent hooked up a amp in a while, so i am hoping i didnt do something that is so simple. i hope the amp isnt screwed. please posts thoughts, or ideas, or anything. oh and the fuses are fine.

My car was hit about a month ago and I'm still strugling with the insurance company. I was not at fault and my claim was denied because the insurance company can't get in contact with the policy holder (obviously doesn't want to take responsiblity). I think it's a bunch of bull---. Is this possible?

I've been looking all over the internet and i can't find what i'm looking for.
i have a piaggio ape coffee van and what i'm looking for is to find someone who is specialised in ataching rain covers or wind blockers to the sides of the van, so I don't get wet during rainy days, when i serve the costumers. of course for them too. the problem is that i don't know exactly how they are called and probably that is why i can's find any site for this. I hope you know what I mean, what i am looking for. i really need these covers. if you can help or have any suggestions, please let me know. thanks a million.

(no driving at night...nothin..stressin)j ust when i thought it was over, i got a flat tire. went to sunaco and made a grewsome discovery...tires were not only bald, but split to the point the mechanic would not let me drive w/o putting on the spare. 2nd ques. how did my car pass ins. w/bald and dangerous tirers? i need help...advise!!!!

I understand that in some cars things like the immobiliser or electric windows will not work when you replace the battery, or the car will not start. I have a 1996 Mazda 626 glx abs. Does anyone know if there will be any effect on my car and how do I reset if this needs to be done?
