Cars & Transportation - 25 October 2006

Right now I'm looking to work for Union Pacific riding on the train. Was wondering if anyone here does train service for UP. If so, any information about pay, hours, or what you do would be appreciated. Looking to work in Eugene, Or. I already know your on-call pretty much and have 90 mins to get to work. Dont know much else. Anything appreciated. Thanks.

I had my brake pads replaced and now when I press on the brakes it takes more effort to brake than before. The car does come to a complete stop, just takes more effort. Were they changed incorrectly, or could it be another problem?

The armrest snapped off...there are 2 copper pieces that fit in 2 little square holes in the base. They had tabs on both sides which prevented the armrest from falling forward when you lean on it...but the tabs broke off. If I had to describe the pieces, they looked like when they were pushed in and there was no way to take them out without breaking one of the tabs off each piece.

[ ] <~~~the square hole

/|_|\ <~~~ the piece looks like this and at the bottom, a screw connects it with the arm rest

/|_ <~~~this is what it looks like broken

Hopefully this is enough information for an answer. This is the best description I could make.
Does anyone know where I can get these pieces?

So I'm about 5'7'' and weigh about 106-110 lbs. I really really want a Harley, but I want something I'll be able to handle. I've never driven a Harley, though I have driven others like dirtbikes, etc. and I've grown up around EVERYTHING Harley and have ridden on them many times. Any suggestions as to what kind I should get? Please and thanks!

I've been told by cops that it's illegal to operate a vehicle with no muffler, but I've also been told by other cops and muffler shops that it's not illegal.

My car is a 97 Corolla. For about one year, it has a loud noise staring, or larger than average vibration. Shops cannot ID the problem. One shop said it is the power steering pump problem. It drives fine, quieter when totally warmed up. Any guess?

I had the same car only my old was is a 1997. My 1997 gets on the road 28 mpg probly 22 in town and around but this other one I have purchased is getting poor gas mileage, like 13 or 14 in town and around. Well I can fill it up and set my mileage deal and when it hit 200 miles I am totally empty...on my other one I get 300 miles or a litle more. Could their be a cmputer chip out causing this, where do I begin to find my problem and I know I will eventally have to take it to a mechanic but I thought some mechanic could give me some suggestions, before I spend a great deal of money. We love these cars, but I have to have better gas mileage than this.

There would be a lot less road rage. Please try to use them so my son will be safe while learning how to drive.

Please don't be mean, I really want to understand.
