I have an old bumper sticker that I need to take off my car. It's on the car itself, not on the chrome bumper. What type of solvant will effectively remove the sticker without damaging my paint. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

When I sold parts, most ford guys referred to to the Cleveland as a big block. I would win bets when I showed them that Ford Motorsports listed the 351c in the small block family. I also stumbled across a tech article that stated you put Cleveland heads on a Windsor (or vice versa) by plugging some water passages and drilling out others. Where did the big block myth come from?

What are the advantages of using Supreme gasoline? I understand that the octane rating is different but how is that a plus? What does it affect?

Also, does it matter if the two are mixed? If you think about it logically, gas stations that have one hose for the 3 different types the person before you most likely filled with regular and when you first start pumping your getting the left over regular is the hose regardless of what gas you choose.

The car at least turned on when I had the bad battery in it. Now when I have the new battery in the lights, door locks etc. wont even work. The car doesn't even make a sound when I turn the key. I have already checked all fuses in the car. The only thing I can think of is that there could be a theft mechanism in the computer of the car thats preventing me from starting it. Maybe I shorted the battery out when putting the new one in, who knows? If anyone has any experience with this specific problem please help.

This is my first car bought brand new and I don't know whether I keep my car maintained by the dealer or by a private shop. My question is: Is it worthy to save money maintaining my vehicle in a private shop?

I've heard stories of people "breaking a train in half" and looting the cars when they stop rolling. How is this possible if the train is moving (is it done when there is slack on the couplers?) Is theft a big problem on the rails in some places? What do these a$$es just randomly pop open cars and containers hoping to find one with electronics or something??? I imagine in places where this goes on it doesn't make for friendly security people when railfanning.

Ive been driving a 93 nissan pathfinder that my parents owned for about 2 months untill i bought the pickup. They both have manual transmissions although the clutch in the pickup is completely different, I have to release the clutch very slowly or i stall or sometimes it shakes violently, and its very difficult to drive even for my parents. My uncle who is a mechanic says his nissan pickup is like that also and its normal but it may be able to be adjusted. Ive never heard of adjusting a clutch before can it really be done and is it difficult/expensive?

I own one and came across some hard-to-believe stories about its performance, reliability and dependability. Other than its simple design which wasn't change for a very long time and being the most sold car in history, it doesn't seem to look like much. Maybe the stories were true, am just not convinced enough
