Everyday my keys are stuck in the switch! I can get to my destination, but my keys will not come out for some reason. It only does this when it is cold out. When it is a warm day they come right out. Or if I warm up the car when i get to my point, they will come out. Do I need a new ignition switch or something. This mess is driving me crazy!

I havent ridden for a few years now....and am only licensed to ride up to 250cc. I LOVED my Suzuki GN 250..... HATED the Kawasaki GPX250 I had. Should I take the lessons and get an open license... and a bigger bike or stick to what I know?? Im tall, fairly strong build... the GN just felt too small to me. I would like a bike just like the GN, only bigger.... I dont need huge speed. Any suggestions??

I have two Rockford Fosgate 12" single voice coil 8 ohm subs. The continuous power is 150w for each, and the peak power is 300w for each. How do i power both of them so they'll have good bass but still sound good?

- Does UK driving laws allow me to do this?

- If not, then which 7 seat (MPV) you recommend?

- Please name as many 7 seat models as you can so I will try finding suitable vehicle from autotraders.co.uk.

Thanks.

Car audio system - 2 550 watt amplifiers, 2 10" subs, 2 250 watt 6x9s, 1 .5 farad capacitor, upgraded battery and alternator. After installing the capacitor according to the manufacturer's wiring diagram, I find that the car battery is draining while parked with the system turned off. The amps are powering off, the only apparent cause is the recently added capacitor. After removing the cap from the system, the battery drain appears to have stopped. Is this normal for a capacitor to drain the battery under these conditions, or could it be malfunctioning?

The car has a tick in the engine, with only 80k on it. I keep great care of the car, don't even drive it in the winter months. But I do start it and let it warm up. Last time it was super cold outside, I started the car and the engine had this tick. Which is still with it today. So would anyone else have this problem and any idea what it might be? I think the car has an oil leak too, because it has been useing some oil for just sitting all winter in the garage. Thanks...

I read an article on Yahoo Reuters, that there is heavy speculation in the stock market that CSX may be bought out by another major U.S. railroad. This is just speculation, but the guys in the stocks said what is going on with CSX stocks, is a precursor to a possible buyout. Buyout by whom, nobody knows. Anybody know anything more about this?

I just bought a 2007 Dodge Charger SRT-8 that has a 6.1L V8 HEMI engine with 425hp but the exhaust system is crap. I want my car to sound like a real muscle car but not so loud that it wakes up the neighbors in the morning. I checked online for performance parts and I found that Borla has a cat back exhaust system with 2 1/2" pipes and claims it's 1.5db louder than stock. Will 1.5db really make a difference? There's also another system by Corsa and they use 3" pipes but don't mention how loud the exhaust will be. The Borla's costs $1,080 and the Corsa is $1,340. Do you think I should go with the Borla or try out the Corsa?

I have a '93 Jeep Cherokee Sport 4.0 L and the serpentine belt broke. The auto repair place says $60 to fix it. Should I try to fix it myself or just take it in? If I do it myself, I'll have to look it up online anyway so if anyone thinks that I should try it, instructions would be helpful.

I've dreaded learning how to drive, mainly because since the car sticks out in front of you and to the side so much, I can't judge exactly where I need to drive. I also could never get too excited about owning and driving a car. But after seeing a trike on the road, I checked them out online and fell in love with them. They just look so cool! Plus, I would think that it'd be easier to judge where you are on the road, since you're sitting in the middle and sort of front of the bike, unlike a car. But my mom doesn't think they're practical (i.e. no protection from the elements), and that they're really unsafe. So my basic question is, what's your take on all this- trike vs. car?
