Vincennes University is doing a study of safety in aviation and we need pilot input. It doesn't matter if you have 2 hours of flight time or 20,000. All we need is for you to complete a short questionnaire about your thoughts on safety. Results of this study will be available May 2007. Thank you for your time and safe flying!

Ive had one person tell me its a possible control arm and Ive had another person tell me its a strut. the person who said control arm said it would cost about 70 dollars to check it out. the person who said it was my strut did a hand test i guess. he had me park on a level surface and he showed me that the drivers side was lower than the passanger side. what do you think? my steering is fine but the car does ride a little rough. thank you

I was thinking of purchasing a Viper security system for my car. I wanted to get one of the three-way security systems with the LCD screen on the keychain. The only issue im having is that all the Viper three-way security systems that I've seen come with a remote car starter. I drive standard so I have no use for remote car starter. Does anyone know if there is a Viper three-way security system that does not come with a remote car starter? or are there any other good brands of car security systems out there. It seems strange to me that most of the security systems out there are geared towards cars are automatic since a lot of people who are really into cars drive standard. I have a 2000 Honda Accord EX coupe buy the way is that makes any difference.

I have a 79 Tbird with a 302 V8, Just rebuilt the carb tonight because I thought this was the problem.....Just installed engine a week ago also. When it starts, it idles really high and only runs when the choke is closed. Once you open the choke, it bogs down and dies...Any help would be great appreciated

I just purchased this vehicle from a Chrysler Dealer and the Owner's Manual was not in the vehicle and the Dealer doesn't have it. I also need to know where I can obtain a valet key for the trunk and additional ignition keys. Should the dealer I purchased the car from in NJ have supplied the missing key code, second key and valet key and owner's manual with the car when I purchased it? In any case, I need information where I can obtain the items.

It's common practice to strip the interior of a car to lighten it in the world of motorsports, but is it legal on public streets (In California)? Detailed answers are very welcome.

Thanks in advance.

I've heard ejecting out of a fighter jet can cause back injuries which can be bad enough to make you not fly again.

So can it harm you and if so why does it?

Basically they said they need to always replace both tires on axle when I only have a flat on one side because their insurance said it might cause damage to "transmission" or something like that. Is that necisarry? I am having my tires replaced at sears. Is it possible for me to just get a tire from them and put it on my car and avoid all those charges plus a whole other new tire or is it benificial to have a tech put the actual tire onto my car? The fees they are trying to charge are kind of high for labor for this area. I need to have my car realigned anyway, what do you recomend?

I have heard that if you commonly use cruise control you will increase your fuel economy. Has anyone actually tried this? Is it true? What percentage of mpg is increased?
