the timing belt broke on my 93 integra, and it is really expensive to fix. i don't want to go through with the repair, what are other options for it? would the local pick-n-pull scrapyard pay the most for it? or would it be accepted for donation to get a tax deduction? it had aprox 146k miles. sorry for all the questions. any help is appreciated =D

I ride a black Kawasaki Ninja and there are some scratches along the gas tank/seat area (most likely from my pants rubbing against it). Don't seem very deep. What is the best application to rid the scratches and make it nice and shiny! Will wax prevent the scratches from occuring again? Stupid pants!

After washing the car, I was wiping the door jams (doors open). When I went to close the door, it wouldn't shut----looks as though the latch (on the door)that hooks around the piece on the body has stuck down and will not (even trying the manual unlock, also using the key) free itself so the lock will operate properly. Is there a reset button or could it possibly be a fuse??

A while back I asked if the wings ever fall off Cessna 150s and I got some joking replies. I expected that.

However, I did find a few instances where the wings did fall off of a 150 in flight. (Nearly always in a uncontrolled flight.)

This is the latest:

I am not for sure, but from what can I ascertain is that the pilot lost control of the aircraft in a fog and in the ensuing dive the stresses exceeded airframe parameters and the wings tore off. I guess it does happen!

Am I reading the report right?

What is the best way to drive your car over railroad tracks in order to avoid messing up your tires, alignment, brakes, etc. I have heard different methods (for instance, brake immediately before and coast going over the tracks, accelerate over tracks, and more). I have a new car (Toyota Corolla) and cross at least one set of railroad tracks twice a day. The only route that I can take that doesn't involve crossing tracks adds an extra 10 minutes to my commute. Any suggestions to keeping my car as new as possible despite the train tracks?

Hello, I'm a car noob who's car wont start, and am looking for some help over here!

Car Info:
1) 2003 Camry LE
2) 46,000 miles
3) Bought from a used car dealer 2 months ago, absolutely no problems until now.

When I turn the key to my car:
1) Dashboard/front lights all come on, and the car reacts to the remote.
2) I hear the transmission(or the starter), but instead of the engine coming to life, I hear a series of rapid clicks coming from the upper right part of the engine area.
4) Gas was a bit above the 'Empty' mark, and the 'Empty' sign was not flashing.
5) Washed the car a couple of weeks ago, no problem until now.
6) Friend checked the oil, said it was normal.
7) 'Check engine light' comes on.
8) No unusual smell at all, or any smoke.

Last time I drove it.
1) No problems when I drove to work this morning(5 minutes on the highway)
2) Very sunny day.
2) 5 hours later, engine wont start.

So basically, I'm trying to figure out what is causing the weird rapid clicking sounds! Thanks
