I was involved in a fender bender a few months ago in Virginia (though I am licensed in Massachusetts). It was stop-and-go traffic, and I was following too closely (since for one reason or another, I didn't stop in time). I must have been going 5-7 mile/hour at impact and the damage to both cars was very minimal (the assessing policeman marked it down as non-reportable--below $1000 dollars). It was completely my fault, and I was the first to admit that, though very recently the family made a claim for personal injury (about a month after the fact). A month after the claim, they came up with a number: $75,000 ($35,000 more than my limits). I am a college student with no exhaustible income, and though I don't want to instantly point to them as liars, I think it is ridiculous that they were hurt as much as they claim. A second thing to note is after the accident, I asked them how they were and, suspiciously, they remarked, "We're fine, though I can tell we will feel it in the morning.

The mechanic has a small shop, and his equipment is good, but can not narrow down the specific problem . I have called a few shops locally and most say the O2 censor and some say it could be something to do with the spark plugs. Who do we believe and does anyone have experience with this.

Car is a 1996 Chrysler LHS.

the brakes were done recently and the rotors were replaced. After driving it there is a terrible thumping noise coming from the front and now my abs light comes on as soon as my wheels start rolling. i have checked the wheel bearings but still can't figure out what the problem is.

I'm looking at buying one for my hubby for Christmas and wanted to know the best kind/size/model and why. He would be using pneumatic tools (wrench, nail gun, etc) and general automotive/construction/repair uses. What is the price range on something like this? Thank you for your help!

Looking through the Harley Davidson catalog of motorcycles I can't figure out what the specific differences are between the Dyna and the Sportster such that the Dyna costs about $6000 more. What do you get for this extra $6000? Also, is the Sportster really just "a Woman's bike"? Are men who ride them mocked by other Harley owners?

I brought my car to the mechanic- he said fixed the problem so I paid him and left. I came right back to him and told him I still had the same problem. He says he has been working on it for weeks but can't fix the problem. Can I take my car back and not pay him anything more since I still have the problem?

It seems that when I make left turns in my vehicle that involve a slight bump it makes the vehicle have a metallic popping noise. I am unsure if it might br a strut or the axle having a problem. It might be a Brake Pad but I a rather ignorant on how these things work and was looking for some advice on it
