I feel like I just proved to myself that I'm a total moron. I maintain a 3.8 gpa and all that. In spite of all that, I failed my permit test by one (14/18) and feel like a total idiot. I want to go to Penn, however now think to myself that there cannot be many there who failed their permit test.

I am moving to another state this summer. i got my permit in december and by the time i move to florida I will have had it for about 6 months. So I am wondering if I will have to take my permit test over again (which I am fine with) and if I will have to start my year and 1 day all over again (which i will not be so okay with)?

I am assuming I need to access the ignition switch. I have done things like adding OEM fog lights and I know where the alarm system is located under my dash. Any help please!

I was hit really hard from behind causing me to slide in the back of a car. My car was a total loss the other driver told the police she had a problem with her brakes. Her insurance company cut me a decent check for my totalled car. A month later I began to feel pain and started going to the chiropracter. He then gave me the scoop on on contacting an attorney to get a case with her insurance company. The first year they tried to settle with me a little money, I refused. The second yr they did the same with a slight increase. Now its time for mediation; to settle the case and I don't know what to expect.My lawyer will be negotiating with the drivers lawyer im suffering from neck and back problems.

I have a 2003 Toyota Corolla that has hit 99,000 miles. I have kept it in excellent shape, including oil changes every 5000 miles.

All I know is that it accelerates very poorly (just happened today), and the moment I take my foot off the gas, the car slows down tremendously. I'm really afraid to drive it. I'm taking the car to the dealership asap tomorrow morning.

Any ideas as to what could be wrong and the cost of repairs? I know it's asking a lot with such little information (sorry, I'm really worried about it!) THANK YOU!!!

I have read the Reports on the Trident crash in the Late 50's along with several other reports of this type of aircraft design developing a high "sink rate" in certain flight modes. Is this still a problem with this type of design? Do the latest fly-by-wire computer controlled aircraft prevent this deadly,(from what I have read), almost unrecoverable situation? I also noted that these high sink rates occur almost always at altitude, and close the stall speed, although in some cases the aircraft was still climbing, before departing and entering a high sink rate, and crashing usally moments later. any comments welcome

With China and India becoming the next big markets for automobiles should the manufacturers selling there be more sustainability minded? Do you know of any efforts by the big manufacturers to prevent major damage to the earth if millions of new drivers are allowed to drive around in polluting current models? For example are hybrid cars being pushed in order to encourage people away from conventional vehicles?

Any links about the Chinese and Indian auto industry would be good

Thanks

I responded to a newspaper ad recently and bought a 1971 vw beetle. The car had no plates and no paperwork that I could find. There were several telltale signs that the car had sat a number of years, but I understood it to be a project. The seller said he had originally bought it at auction with the intent of using its (good) engine for a sand rail dune buggy, but that like many other good plans requires time. Once paid for, I was provided no bill of sale which I feel I was owed. It was as if the seller felt that since he had let the car go very cheap, that he owed no person any more, and if he did, he should've either charged more or wrecked it instead. Like he could have gone to the trouble but would be put out for something extraneous. The seller has a shop in an easy to find location, so it is not as if I cannot find him, and he doesn't appear to be trying to hide, hes just a strangely irritable and crotchety person.
