I took of my rims for storage last september and just put them on today. Noticed that one of the tires had lost its air. Is that normal? Is it a puncture? they were fine before I put them away for storage, no problems at all. I stored them laying flat on there sides.

I know we are suppose to change our brake pads when the squealers make its sound but isn't that damaging something?

I guess I don't quite understand how the squealers make it sounds? It is this piece of metal on the pads with a certain height right? and it grinds against the disc along with the brake pads when the brake pads are used up/low enough?

There are many examples:

- All the smokers who have heard time and time again the dangers of smoking to themselves and those around them.

- That girl that always ends up with the cheating boyfriends who knows that she's ignoring the fact that loyal guys are out there.

- Trying to do well on a test, knowing you need to study, but not studying.

Do you think it's because there's always the chance that the advice just SOUNDS good, but actually there's no saying what causes what?

While exiting my underground parking spot, my drivers side of both doors got scraped and dented by a pilar. It was the driver's door and passenger door behing it. Also part of the driver's door molding strip came off (about 3 inches). There were also dents around the bottom and middle of both doors. I need to know how much it will cost to get this repaired. I have a 2003 Mazda Protege LX 2.0

I am a disabled vet living on disability so must do this myself. I pulled some plug wires to shut it down, and removed the key but it will not go back in. Tried WD no help. I have a same year junker but not a clue how to make the part switch please help I live in the sticks and this is my way to the grocery store. Would be nice if Uncle Sam did a better job taking care of disabled vets.

definately not a desieling problem, seems in the lock mechanical.

Swap manual seats over to power seats.?
I have two Bimmers one is equiped with manual seat and the other has beautiful seats but are power seats. I would like to swap them because they are near new looking and I would also swap the console with the power buttons, the only problem is the older BMW I have doesn't have the wiring. I don't need power seats but if I don't hook up power, I will not be able to adjust my seats. How difficult would it be to swap the wiring harness from the newer one to the older one?

My son needed a new engine for his 94 sentra that had locked up. I found one, came out of a sentra that was stick shift, son's is a automatic. They are both 1.6 liter, engines look the same, but on the one that was a stick shift, when we bolt the flexplate on, it rubs against the oil pan.......is there a spacer that goes between the end of the crank and the flexplate?
If so, where do I buy one....dealer item?
BTW, there was no spacer on the original engine that we pulled out............................just wondering if there is that much of a difference on the clearance between the stick shift engine/automatic trans engines

My boyfriend went outside a few weeks ago & noticed that someone had hit his car taking off a significant portion of his rear quarter panel. As he was taking pictures of it, a girl who lives in our apartment complex came outside & admitted she had done it. They exchanged information, my boyfriend reported it to his insurance company, & got estimates for the damage. Now the girl is ignoring him. Every time he knocks on her door she won't answer, & every time he calls her she doesn't pick up (he has left numerous voicemails). He has tried knocking & calling at many different times of day with no luck. Is there anything he can do here?
