Okay so i have a 1997 Mercedes-Benz E420 and today i put my car in 3rd gear and floored it ... and it was fun and all.. and then after i hit 60 i stopped and pulled into my friends driveway and dropped him off and then i pulled back and my friend points at the floor where i was parked and liquid is dripping out.. i pull the car to the side and notice the front is dripping.. My temp on the car was really high *100 degrees*.. i looked under the car and water was dripping *it didnt smell like gas or oil* and so i look under the hood and there is water collected on the bottom like under my engine kinda... well anyway i leave it alone for a while.. and i go back to it and turn the heat on all the way and drive home *the temp went to 86 * *normally its at 82 or so*... and it stopped dripping while i was driving but when im parked it drips.. I cant tell if there is a hole under the car but i dont know what is wrong. What is wrong with my car? Did the radiator break? Please help me!

I just slapped a clarion drx5375 into a 1992 plymouth (using proper wiring harness etc). I was told that the backlight on the cd player wasn't funtional and it wasn't but that the unit played which it did....but NOW the backlight behind my dash....whatever it is that lights up my speedometer etc won't work either. All my warning lights (seatbelt etc) come on, but the main light won't. I put the factory delco back in and it still won't work...? Anyone know what I fried? Fuses look OK.

I have a 9 year old son with cerebral palsy and he's getting too big for my car. I'm in the process of buying a used van, but I'm going to need a ramp put in and I don't have the money to do it. A few people said the Lions Club, or Rotary Club. But, I've never had to ask for money from an organization. I'm just not sure where to start.

I just purchased this Jeep for my son. How smooth should the shifting between 1st and 2nd be? It seems to take a little long to shift from 1st to 2nd, but the shifting is smooth.

I have heard that Massachusetts insurance companies are typically independent of California insurance companies. As a consequence, California insurance companies wont have access to my records in Mass. This would mean that my old claims/history won't affect my new insurance policy in California. Can someone tell me if this true.

Thanks

Excluding being a 250cc and being a jap bike, why would you not buy the Ninja 250?

Also if you have owned one at what mileage did you have your first $100 or more problem?
