I recently noticed that there are some white paint droplets on the front of my car. I have no idea how it got there but I need to get it off ASAP! Anyone know of any tricks or cleansers that would take off the white paint spots without harming my paintjob or clearcoat? Thanks!

i have DK2-1000 watt amp i keep blowing the fuses on the amp, i bought a new car battery that is 850 cold cranking amps instead of 650. my fuses didnt blow for a couple hours but then the battery drained and the fuses blew (volt meter on dash would drop to like 10) so my theory is that if the battery drains the alternator sends power directly to what needs it (my amp) blowing my fuses. the alternator should be 80A output. I am running 8 gauge ground wire and 4 gauge power wire to my amp. do you think the 8 gauge wire is to small and not letting enough power flow back to the battery?

A friend bypassed the fan switch so the fan is on all the time and it did not overheat when I took it for a short run. The car is a SAAB 9000 turbo, 12 years old with 130000 miles on the clock.

The auto tranmission shift cable broke and needs to be replaced. The transmission end is easy to get to but where does the other end attach? If it is in the center console, how do I get the console apart? I removed the 4 screws that I could find on the console, 2 in the front and 2 in the back in the bottom of the console, but the console still won't come apart.

I have a 2006 Ford Fusion which I dearly love. The only problem I have had with it is the gas cap which you have to line up and snap on. Apparently I wasn't doing it right and it quite snapping on. It was ON and wouldn't come off but it wasn't tight. Ford replaced it, of course. Well, now, about 6 months later, even though I was careful it has done it again. Again the "check fuel cap" light has come on (but over a week after it stopped working). So, my question is, will it harm my vehicle or is it dangerous if I leave it like it is? It's such a hassle to take it in to the dearlership!

This car was made somewhere between 1953 and 1962. It is faded yellow and it has been sitting vacant in front of my grandma's house for as long as I can remember. From what I know it does not run, and I don't know what it needs to get it to run. Just curious to see if there are any collectors that know its approximate value if anything. Here is the "ponton" website on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercedes-Benz_W120

When I was going for my test our local bus driver said 'oh no not another blo*dy woman driver'
Why do we get slated and remarks made
Is there any evidence that we are bad drivers ???
I passed my test 1st time with 5 minors
Is that good enough to put me in the same driving league as you blokes.

i was sitting at a junction when a girl cut across the corner and scraped the corner of my car, straight away she got out and started to complain of head and neck ache!!! there was a lady in a car bout 20yrds behind me who said she didnt see anything but because the girl was makin such a fuss, the lady said she would be her witness to the accident!!! there was a man there who told me he didnt see anything but he heard the lady say she didint see anything but is still going to be a witness for the girl, so i took his number so he can tell the insurance what he heard. im so worried as now she has a witness who is going to say its my fault even tho she didnt see anything.
