I have a few very small dents on my motorcycles gas tank. Sense the paint im painting it with will reflect light, and this bikes value will be based on its condition, i want the dents to simply, go away.

heres the picture

You may not see all the dents cause of the angle but they are there.

I dont have the materials or skill to cut and weld the tank, and i dont know if that thing u can buy can undent this thing with suction becuase this is pretty thick metal.

Last question, if i have this professionally painted, how much will that cost (just the tank) and if they do it, can they undent it. If not how much will it cost to get it undented?

I have a Yamaha DT 175 E from 1978. This is an old and semi-rare bike which means parts are hard to find. Spark plug was universal so i got that. Ebay has nothing i need. Dennis Kirk is great and i got stuff from there but i need a new Boot for the left fork and i cant seem to find one anywhere. I need sites, and links so i can buy this stuff on the internet. I also need things like a new seat and a new airfilter (airfilter needs to be under 40 bucks, thats the cheapest ive found one).

Thanks, the best and/or most links gets the best answer.

How long does it take to for them to respond and fix my car. I have a lowered Honda Civic, the whole front end and bumper got ripped off because I had pulled up to far in my parking stall at my apartment complex. It screwed the whole front end up, jacked up a tail light, but the car is still drivable. There were no other vehicles involved., no injuries, no property dmage other then mty vehicle. Does this sound like it can be covered. I have had a dispute with my apartment complex over why I did not want a concrete bumper on in my parking stall, plus my parking stall is on a steep incline, making it so that I have to pull up alot so my car is not half in and half out of the stall. I feel that this is the property management's fault because it is the second time that damage has been done to my car by this. I had to park my car nearly 100 feet away from my stall in guest parking for the longest time because of it.

I was just wondering how I could get my car to be faster without sacrificing MPG. I was looking on ebay and saw these chips that they say increase MPG and add horsepower. They run about 25 bucks or less and they say they just plug right in to your car. They say they are safe. Do they do what they claim to do or can they damage my car. I know it's not going to be a race car but I just want to unlock my engines potential (GM 3800 SERIES II V6 ). Is there anybody who has experience with the performance chips they sell on ebay? Or anybody who can tell me an inexpensive and safe way to get more performance out of my car? Or someone who can explain the pros and cons of these chips.

if you push it hard enough, it might rev realy high but it can do it right? YES IT CAN, people think cars can go around 120 or more

I have 2 vehicles and one of them I dont even drive. It just sits there and I start it here and there. Is it possible to put on the market and just have someone take over payments. I dont care about making anything off of it. I pay about $350 a month for it and I dont even drive it. I know it sounds stupid but I live across the street from work now and have no need for 2 vehicles.

Are they cheaper cars and will the insurance rate be lower by driving a white vehicle?

Eg: Red cars get stolen, the insurance rate is higher, and the car is expensive

02' grand cherokee limited V8

Problems:

1) Left brake light is not working when the park lamps are on and aslo rear left park lamp goes off at same time. When the park lamps are off everything works fine. I understand that the problem is not the bulbs.

2) Passenger side always flows cold air :( I tried all the combinations ( Auto, manuel, a\c, lo, hi, 80f etc...) In all conditions the right side of the climate system flows cold air.

Thank you very much, waiting for help...

Oh! by the way front speakers blow in 2 days (tweeters)
