i just put a 600cfm carb on my 383 and was test driving it. it is tune from the factory to be pretty close to the right tuning. i took it out and tried gunning it from about half trottle to full and there was not really an increase in speed or rpm(i think i dont have a tach) why is that? could the secondarys be not tuned right?

We sold our car to a lady for $450 (obviously not a perfect car) I let her know it was having some issues. Her "mechanic" test drove it for her and loaned her the money to buy it. We signed the bill of sale and had a witness sign and it clearly states as is. She just called and said she spoke to ther attorney and he said we need to give the money back and if she was to be in an accident we could be sued, she said the breaks are bad which is a crock of crap because i just put new ones on there, and have driven it, it all worked fine. anyway long story short is there anyway she can sue? I sold as is so i figured im safe but I dont know. write back asap please she wants to call me tonight.

We had it at mechanics yesterday they changed hoses cost $150 didnt fix problem, back there again today they are changing coil but are not sure that this is the problem will cost another $150.... yet dont guarantee it will fix the problem - sometimes backfires on start, other times just driving along and suddenly runs rough and then backfires and blows the air filter cover off then will drive ok again until next time.... anyone got any ideas sick of going to mechanics that charge to do things that dont fix the problem very frustrating, Like I said the car ia a real lemon, had a new radiation system put in then motor blew up , replaced motor only been 3500km since new motor, was serviced at 500 km and not due again until 5000km, is it something to do with lpg system...

i got hit by a person who didn't have enough insurance to pay me.

we traded infos and i got his claim info stuff and when i went to the body shop they told me that he didnt have enough insurance to pay for the damage.. only $5,000

im not mad at him or anything because the guy actually looks like he have alot of money and i understand the fact it was an accident and he was very sorry for it.

so how do i deal with this? should i claim it to my insurance instead? how does this thing work?

My chrysler 300m's steering wheel is locked upside down and I cannot get it unlocked. The key will not turn either way. What is weird is that the gearshifter will move fine. I can move it in and out of park with no problem. I just can't get the car to start or the wheel to move.

It is parked and I cannot get the key to turn. The wheel is actually upside down. The gear shifter can be moved from park all the way down to the lowest gear though surprisingly. Any help would be appreciated as I am screwed right now because the key will not turn over to start.

I have been looking around to figure out if i can play MP3's through the command system of this car. It can be done with a MP3 CD but i was hoping to be able to plug in an Ipod or some other hard drive solution which it allow for play lists and allowing the info to be populated on the command screen. I have seen a company called phatnoise (www.phatnoise.com) doing something like this but not for mercedes. Are there other similar solutions?

On September 8 I was driving to school and a lady hit my car. I was driving on Motel Drive going straight and a white car was park on the side of the road. The car did not use signals or anything, so I assumed it was a parked car. I kept going straight and the car pulled in a hit my car from the ride back side of my door.

I jot down her information and since no one was injured, I did not call the police. She said she was sorry and the sun was in her eyes so she did not see me. Then I went to school and told her I will report it after school because that morning I had an lab for my AP chemistry class.
I report the claim to my insurance AAA. 1 month later I received information on the lady's Insurance Company Safeco. I called Safeco and the man told me that she said it was not her fault. Her story was "She was pulling into the road and a car hit her"

I was quite confused because I thought it was obviously her fault and wasn't worth going to court for it. Now how do I sue

My bike has been stolen recently. Unfortunately, I had no way of tracking where it is currently but if I had some type of device for tracking it, I would not be asking this question now. You might say I watch to many movies but is there an almost undetectable device that sends signals for at least 24 hours upon theft and has a range of at least 5 miles? I've heard of this used in vehicles but I don't have that type of money and such a device would be so cumbersome, its not even funny. I've been searching for a while but Im not a very patient person with these search engines. So, if you know anything about tracking devices, tell me what you know, otherwise, go on to another question. Thanks.

As soon as the plane took off I started to feel bad. I was acting like Dustin Hoffman in the Rain Man. I was keeping my head down, fiddling with the earphones, jerking and jumping on my seat. I even told my wife at one point that I thought the plane was slowing down. Irrational, I know, but at the time I really felt it was happening. I would love to overcome this as it will affect future holidays with my family, as, the way I feel at the moment, I may not be able to take a plane again. Any advice would be greatlt appreciated. Thank You.
