Our 1993 Ford Aerostar has suddenly went kaput. We tried to start it today and all we hear is a 'click!' Just one click, and nothing happens. Our radio still works, but the van doesn't start. We tried to replace the battery, but that didn't help. What else could the problem be? Selanoid (sp?)?

I'm thinking of getting into motorcycles, and I want to know what it is that draws bikers to their bikes, with full knowledge of the risks and dangers involved. How do you guys keep yourselves safe on the road?

Ive been using xenon bulbs for my 335i Coupe and they only last about one and a half months. Does anyone know where i can get longer lasting xenon bulbs. Or if i can get cables that will save the bulbs themselves?

I recently ordered new headlights for my vehicle. An employee of the place where I ordered them recommended I get ultra white light bulbs, so they shine better. When I received the packages, on the case for the light bulbs it says:
"For show car use only"
"Not legal for street use"
They are Ultra White light bulbs by matrix.

On the sticker it says:
9005 12V 100W

Here is a link of the bulbs:

Found oil dripping on the garage floor from my MB ML320 (1999). Took it to our local Gemini service (always used them) and they came back stating that the engine needs 'relined'. They cannot perform this service and quoted $3000 to $5000, do be done at the MB dealership only.
Can you please explain the problem in more detail and why it's going to cost so much to get fixed?
What are my options here? Just get it done, leave as is and try to sell or some other strategy?
Thanks for the help.

What views do you have on Saabs? considering purchasing an M reg 900 for £700. I know they are dead reliable but what do the garage costs look like for older ones (parts are expensive) and what kinda things usually go wrong? any good or bad experiences please. DOn't have much money but live in the countryside so need a really reliable car - my job also involves driving about a lot.

Is anyone as tired as I am of the media freenzy surounding the tragic accident in the NYC VFR corridor? The media types are looking for sinsationalizm and titilating news gossip. Debbie Hersman from the NTSB is doing a great job and sticking with the known facts. I certaintley hope there will not be a knee jerk reaction brought on by mis informed political powers and news media prattle.

i am a real estate consultant and broker-owner of a RE company in chicago. about 15 years ago, when my buyers would ask me, "what do you think about the roof?," i'd respond, "gee, i'll open my trunk for you so that you can borrow my jetpack and check it out for yourself!," which always brought about giggles. now i am thinking of having them sign Hold Harmless Agreements for me and my firm, so that i can let them check the rooves and gutter systems out for themselves. so where do i buy them? how much do they cost? do you think michael jackson could tell me?

if you were looking at edifices, how would you like to go up in my jetpack to check out the roof? i think it's a great idea! "no doubts, make the offer today!"
