I was looking at crime statistics in Houston. They have two categories: auto-theft and burglary of a motor vehicle. So what's the difference?

Hmm. So I am getting my car worked on, and the mechanic calls me for phone authorization for some work. Standard.

Then he says, "Now I have to ask you kind of a weird question. In order to verify that you are actually giving this authorization, the government has me ask you this: where did you go to high school?".
So I told him where I went, thinking even if this is BS, what harm could he do with that information? And he started trying to make small talk about my hometown.

Just wondering if any of you are mechanics or have heard of this new "federal regulation"! Is that a legit way to get phone authorization, or was he just satisfying his own personal curiosity (or worse)?

I would like this in stero if possible. How do I make this work? Do I need to purchase a new helmet, cell phone, and a blue tooth devise? If you hqave product info that would be great.

Been told that some ticking from the exhaust is normal to hear after the car has been driven, but the ticking is pretty loud and continues for a good period and ive noticed it even when the car is on. In addition my car seems to be getting poor gas mileage. Not sure if they are related or what the problem is. My car has only 43k miles on it which is frustrating. Can't pinpoint the poor gas mileage as everything ie tires spark plugs, allignment, seem to be in good shape. Helpful advice appreciated thank you.

The electric window on my car doesn't work.

I've removed the door pannel for a look, and there isn't anything obviously wrong.

The fuses are all fine.

What else could it be?
I don't want to invest in a new motor for it until I've checked everything else first.

I need to get tags for my car this month, only when I called my car financing company to see how much it is, they told me that my insurance had lapsed, and my registration was suspended!! I had no idea, because my cousin had gotten the insurance for me (we are now estranged, and I don't have any contact with her), and I was told by her the insurance expired in May. All my documments have been sent to her house (and she refuses to send me my mail) and I had no idea. Now, I'm terrified that I won't be able to get my registration back, or pay fines, because I just barely have enough to get new insurance and pay for my tags. I have no proof that she bought insurance for me through May or anything. Does anyone else have had to go through this? What will happen? Please help!

I have a 86 firebird, and there is a check engine light coming on. Now I pulled the battery off while it was running and it died. I turned on all the lights and they seem to waving in and out a little bit. There isnt a batt light on or a amp light but Im going to test the amp light by unplugging the alt. The batt light seems to work durng startup and goes off in a couple secs. Could it be the voltage reg in the altinator going bad or should i start looking for a short before changing the alt.

..... actually owned one and are that clumsy or not owned one and are that naive? I've seen all types of riders forget which way the throttle turns and where the brakes are on all kinds of bikes. "The Doctor(I hope you know who that is)" will tell you that when he makes a mistake... he'd rather be on his MotoGP bike than a cruiser. There's a reason rockets resemble race bikes and it's not all about speed. The number one reason is control and handling = safety. You think they ride 'em 'cause they want to crash? "Forgiving". On a cruiser? Compared to a sport bike? If you can't control a sport bike which is the lightest, best handling, responsive, and safest thing on the road when handled with respect.......... then you have NO business being on any motorcycle.
