I am a begining bike rider and I have heard a lot of interesting comments on this forum. I am 6'1 and 240 and have been told that a good bike for me would be a 1000cc. The guy who told me this is in a sports bike club and has a lot of years or experience. 30+ years. I am leading towards a 600cc myself. what do your guys think?

The doorsill of my car is lined with hard, acrylic plastic. I often scrape over it with my shoes, which leaves shoe polish stains behind. I've tried removing them with soap--didn't work. Amonia-based cleaners like Windex--didn't work either. Nailpolish remover worked, but it also damaged the plastic of the doorsill. Any ideas, anyone?

When I push down the turn signal on my Audi for 1 second (not enough to turn it 'ON') it flashes 3 times and then shuts off. It's intended for lane changes, I suppose.

Many '07 Chryslers do it to, but I'd like to retrofit my '06 Durango. Any suggestions?

Ok... so I understand that it's a safety thing... and I anticipate people reminding me so. I'm the only one that drives my Durango, and, no, I never have kids in the car. So...

How to I make my '06 act like my '98, so that I can start the engine and go straight into gear, without applying the brake?

I recently bought a 2000 Buick Regal, it stalls when I turn the blinkers on, right or left, doesn't matter. All the dash lights come on and the car goes dead. Scary when you're in traffic, the power stearing also goes out. Problem is intermitent. Had 5 different mechanics say they can't find it. They've replaced the mullti function switch in the stearing column and swear they have been through all the wiring but my car continues to stall. It also intermitently won't start back up, dash lights blink on and off, sounds almost like the battery is completely dead or the starter isn't getting the job done. Also, without warning, the traction assist will turn off, check engine light and ABS lights will come on. The dealership I bought this car from have basically washed thier hands of it and will not service it again. Wondering if anybody out there has some advice? Knows what the problem is? It would be wonderful if I could pin point it, fix it and not freak everytime I drive my car

I was driving down the road and a vehicle that was plowing a driveway backed into the roadway and t-boned my truck. There is moderate damage. He was plowing his own driveway, but using a company plow. I filed a police report and contacted my insurance company. They said my insurance could go up even though it was not my fault. How do I handle this situation, go directly through his insurance company or use mine?

Yesterday I got home the car drained the battery engine died in front of my house in a snow storm Lucky Me. Immedietly tried starting and it was dead. Tried again in an hour and it started but everything drained again. I repaced the battery and the alternator, now the car starts fine but battery light is coming on and off and the battery needle gage goes low then high, it keeps happening.

My car was stolen and insurance is investigating it. I heard that they look into your finances and payment record to pinpoint fraud I had the car for sale and have never been 30 days late on my car payments.

My sister said the fact that I had my car for sale might count againt me.

What does the insurance company look for when trying to see if fraud was involved in a car theft? Now I'm worried that some of these things might make me look bad even though I had nothing to do with the car theft.

It was stolen from my dirveway whichin a really secludedarea.

Help!?!

What do you do to ensure safety in your life and in others?

What I've done is when I saw black ice, I chipped away the black ice on the road so no one would have any danger.

Any comments on this engine? Peformance, Durability?
I had heard that the Trans Am was originally designed for it, but it seemed to have faded pretty fast from Pontiac offerings.
Was it ever put in anything light enough for it to be a contender?
