Cars & Transportation - 2 December 2006

In MA (and maybe elsewhere), there are road signs that are ambiguous: Is there a real blind or deaf child living around the sign? Or rather this is a way to attract the motorist's attention to slow down in a residential area (to replace the more common "children playing").

Something is draining my battery. Sometimes it only takes a few minutes and sometimes it (The Battery) has no charge overnight. I finally take the battery terminals off when I go somewhere so that nothing can drain it. that works fine. Help?

The XB70 was never a bomber, since it never made it out of experimental stage, just as the SR71 airframe was never used as the F12, even thought 3 YF12s were built.

You also asked what is, not what was... And no, I could not really give a scheisse about the lousy points, just trying to keep the record straight.

Is it however a beautiful aircraft, and the only remaining YF12, tail # 935 is on display at the USAF museum at Wright Patt. If you ever get the chance, go to that museum, it is awesome.

I was recently hit from behind by a midsize car at a red light causing me to slam hard into the car infront of me. The majority of the damage is on the front of my car where it impacted into the rear bumper of the car infront of me. My air bags did not deploy, however, my front hood is significantly crunched in. During the accident I suffered whiplash and hit my face on the steering wheel.

Will this negatively affect my insurance(even if the other driver was at fault)?
Will I be 100% unaccountable for the damages caused to the car in front of me?

so i bought a car and put a $1000 deposit cash and $6000 check. the seller knew i didnt know anything about cars, but i knew the car was salvaged. i asked him why it was salvaged and he said it was because it only got scraped. but after i got it checkd by a mechanic he said it was more than a scrape. it can blow up anytime because the AC line is bent and that carries alot of pressure. so its been 5 days since i was trying to contact him with no response back. and today they just called and he said he'll return my 1000 but later on he had his sister call and she said i they are not returning the deposit money because it was a deposit. and she started threatning about shes gonna call the police and report the car stolen. she said we had the car for more than a week, and i answered its not like we were driving it, im not going to risk my life and my childrens driving that car and it's their fault they weren't answering my emails and calls. can i still get my deposit back, or not?

I know that 6 point sockets are supposed to grip the fastener better. Why would you even want 12 point sockets other than if you had a fastener that was 12 point?

Is there some other difference besides the # of points?

Is it better to take it to an actual Kia dealer or a national chain repair shop like Tuffy or Midas. I want the cheapest, but I don't want to get screwed over.

I heard a rumor that the power and performance of a decomissioned police car is reduced before it is auctioned off to the public. Is this true or are they just as powerful when they are sold at auction?
