Cars & Transportation - 9 April 2007

Ok so here in Texas we have those stupid lanes where youre trying to enter the freeway but it merges with the farthest right lane, which can easily cause folks to sideswipe each other. When I'm trying to merge into the main lane, from the ending lane.. And sometimes get on the freeway the car behind me cuts in front even though I'm first and in front of him. Why do they do this? Do you have this problem?

I understand CC stands for cubic centimeter, but CC's of what? And how does that effect the motorcycle's performance?

I recently put a 4bbl manifold on my 77 mustang II. The manifold was stamped 289 on the bottom and the temp sending unit was a 1/4" pipe thread the temp sending unit on and my old manifold was 3/8" pipe thread. Well I found one to fit it, but now my temp reads too high on the gauge. I'd like to keep the factory look of the manifold, so I don't want to use reduces or couplers. It has a 180 deg. stat. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You've heard of people worrying about living close to trains, have you ever bought a house close to the tracks to be closer to the action? Does the railfan novelty wear off with time?

I need to change a 1992 Dodge Ram 250 two-wheel drive truck to a four wheel drive. It already has a 5.9 Cummins Turbo Diesel engine swap, so what do I have to do to change it to four-wheel drive?

The 911 operator would know your location, given you or somebody else could operate your cell phone.

When I first moved to my current location I was using one auto repair shop until I noticed my car was worse every time they "fixed" it. After a tune-up in July I noticed that my display lights for the time and station information would sometimes make a click noise then I wouldn't be able to see the time or anything... also I have had the brake light stick here and there. My Suzuki was also not idling right always and sometimes felt as if it were going to stall. Well come today I turn the car on the check engine light was on. I took it to Suzuki this time because this other place also messed up my brakes.. and Suzuki told me I needed a tune up because some of the spark plugs were not working right.. I told them I just had one and they looked and said that the wrong spark plugs were put on. This other place says they won't cover it since I had someone else fix it plus they claim on the phone they weren't the wrong ones (I have the ones they used) Do these problems come from bad tune-up

I had my Camaro stolen twelve years ago, and it really hurt me psychologically.

My friend just had his SUV stolen a few weeks ago.

We live in the Metro Atlanta area.

What can one do to help prevent auto theft?

There are some rather obvious choices, but which one is best? There are car alarms, Club steering wheel locks, etc...what do you recommend?

Also, what sort of insurance should one have in case this catastrophe occurs?

I always dreamed of flying on the Concorde and a meager two years before my promised flight on one, it crashed and was taken out of service. It still to this day after many takeoffs on other planes and watching many videos of it sends a chill through my spine to see it take off and land.

We can't get in my husband's car! The passenger's side handle only works from the inside, and the driver's side won't unlock. It wouldn't unlock the other day and we thought it was because it was so cold out - some hot water and effort got it. But now even when it's nice out we can't get it to unlock, and we need in the car. Any idea how to get it? It's a 1987 Mercury Grand Marquis.

The sound seems to be coming from the left side of my Jeep. I have had it looked at but the service rep said he could not hear anything when he took it for a ride.
