The older I get, the less I like motorcyclists.

They seem to have only two ways of driving. They're often reckless and weave in and out of traffic. A lot of them like to tailgate. They rev up their engines in residential neighborhoods.

Those who don't drive recklessly usually are driving in a stately, slow manner that clogs up traffic. They look so smug and self-satisfied as they drive 5-10 MPH below the speed limit.

Then there are those motorcycle groups that think it is their God-given right to hog the highway or drive all together through a small town. They'll often park in one area, and generally increase the rowdiness of the area.

Also, the idiots who keep pushing for no-helmet laws.

And the jerks who play their music really loudly.

Spring is in the air, and so is the noise of these miserable motorcyclists...

I resently tried to buy a car through Nissan approved pre-owned lot. I gave them a trade-in, a down payment, and signed the contract. Now they come at me almost two months later and say they need a co-sign or to return the vehicle. Is this legal?

I grew up close to a shortline , and I remember vividly the sound of the lashed up GP-7's and GP-9's that would pull big acid trains through town. You could hear the very distinctive "rumbling" sound of the diesels as they worked hard. I never hear that anymore with the ultra-modern diesels....they are almost silent. Can anyone relate to this, and do you know of any sites where I can find recordings (or videos) of old diesels (thanks)

When the term hybrid vehicle is used, it most often refers to a Petroleum electric hybrid vehicle. These encompass such vehicles as the Toyota Prius, Toyota Camry Hybrid, Ford Escape Hybrid, Honda Insight and others. A petroleum-electric hybrid most commonly uses internal combustion engines (generally gasoline or Diesel engines, powered by a variety of fuels) and electric batteries to power electric motors. There are many types of petroleum-electric hybrid drivetrains from Full hybrid to Mild hybrid which offer varying advantages and disadvantages.

I need to remove my water pump to replace the gasket, however there is a bracket on the same studs as the water pump. The bracket leads over to the power steering , and is behind the pulley. I want to remove the pulley so I can continue to remove it but having trouble getting it off.


The pulley goes to the serpentne belt, and is notched out in a hex shape for what appears to be for a allen wrench.

Can some one give me a idea on how to remove this pulley ?

OK, here it is. I own a 1998 Ford Explorer with 95,000 miles. Recently it started bucking and jerking upon acceleration around 45-65 mph. I checked the MAF and cleaned it using the contact cleaner method, that was not it as a lot of people have suggested. I checked all the vacuum hoses wires harnesses etc. What can this problem be?
