After more than 2 decades, why did they discontinue this bike?? It was perfect.... It's been removed from the 2007 lineup, but I haven't heard an official reason why.

i have a 1988 chevy cavalier with an I4 and 5-speed manual. the car had occasionally not started for a while after i drove it, then it stopped starting altogether. i could push start it since it's a manual, but that turned out to be really inconvenient. i got a new starter, and the problem went away for a bit, then came back in a couple of months. then i got a new battery, and the problem went away, and came back in about a month. it is now beyond me why it does this. the starter MIGHT have been a rebuilt rather than a new, but i'm still baffled. please help.

I have a 96 accord dx and a 98 honda civic lx I might sell. The accord is a four door with an auto tranny, 6 disk changer, moonroof, and alloys. no rust, but the hood is sunfaded. The 98 civic is a four door also, auto tranny, zero rust, paints all good. Both have no damage, new tires, and new exhaust. I know I can check kbb, nada, etc.... but I want to just get a gauge of what I can realisticly expect when I sell these cars. The Accord books out at 2850 in fair condition, 3350 in good. The civic books at 3935 fair, 4574 good. Will people actually pay $3000 for a car with 180,000 on it? I mean, both cars run and drive like new but won't potential buyers be scared off by that?

Just looking for opinions, thanks

The most ridiculous thing I've ever seen. Each to their own, but spinners on mini-vans violates every premise of basic auto ethics and codes.

I have a 89 Acura Legend that needs tires but needs lots of engine work too. New tires cost $70 each and used cost $20. I am on a budget but want to be safe.

Well i'm 16 and i really DO need a car. i do a lot of extracurricular activities for not only my school and i help out at a local hospital. when my sister turned 16 she did get a car, but when i turned 16 my dad said "it wasnt time.". I have had to miss things i've really needed to go to because of not having a ride. what are some good ways to convince my dad to get me a car? i dont really care what kind of car i get but i do need one asap so i dont have to depend on him because he cant take me anywhere.

i've tried to sit down and talk to him about it and he just went "maybe when you start college" and he KNOWS that i've missed things that i was expected to be at

Hello everyone...
Here's the deal. I have this mint original condition 1985 Ford Couuntry Squire wagon that I bought this spring, and I started hearing this noise in the original AM/FM Cassette radio from day one, but I just figured it was because that the original plug wires were old and needed changing. However, new wires, plugs and distributor cap have made no difference in the noise factor. It is obviously engine related, as the noise matches my RPM's. I hear it even when the cassette player is in operation, when it is on FM and of course loudest on AM radio selection.


So...what else can I change or look at to eliminate that aggravating noise?

Thank you.

Please suggest solution only as the Carbon Particles cannot be removed with hand .i.e., hand cannot reach inside of the cylinder.

Also REMEMBER that while cleaning that cylinder the CYLINDER itself should NOT get damaged.

The Cylinder I am referring is none other than Silencer of Scooty Pep.

If you are on the freeway (CA) and see traffic on the freeway ahead, is it illegal to exit the off-ramp (that immediately) connects the off-ramp back to the freeway? This saves a lot of time. I see the buses in LA do this. Can regular citizens do this without a violation?

According to Dr. Arnold Nerenberger from the American Institute of Public Safety, two billion acts of aggressive driving, or "road rage," occur each year in the United States. In addition, the lack of traffic safety results in millions of crashes each year, taking the lives of an estimated 40,000 Americans at a cost to the public of $160 billion per year. In view of these figures, what do you think should be done to combat road rage and aggressive driving?
