I just got my new car insurance cover and fortunately I had a bump in my car a month later. I bought the policy online and could'nt see the part that say is you car modified. My car is modifed with exhaulst and a induction kit. When they taken my car into the garage they say that the car was modified and not willing to pay out my claim. They straight away cancelled my policy and they still have my car. What shall i do?

someone sent one parcel for me on Friday by priority mail of USPS. It is said the priority mail might take 1 to 3 days for shipping. Since this parcel is much important to me, I hope to get it as soon as possible, at least before this Sunday. I want to know whether the priority mail also ship on Saturday or Sunday. Because if it only takes two days for shipping, I can get it on Friday. However, does it mean I have to wait till Monday if it takes three days and doesn't ship on Saturday? Moreover, could anyone tell me the ship price for the priority mail each pound per mile? Thank you so much.

this is an idea I've been toying with for a real long time, (I once had an invite to Lotus to move it forward!) nothing has been done with this technology as far as i'm aware and would like to see if I can actually get it developed before it's too late. could anybody please tell me where I could take this concept and have it tested for viability ?

Ok, I just bought my first caravan now I find I may not be able to tow it!
I have a Ford Fiesta 1.3 petrol manual box but a friend says they are not designed for towing heavy loads such as caravans. The caravan is a 4 berth 16 footer so I basically need to know, in simple answers, will my car tow the caravan? Please, no jargon or technical stuff, i've enough of that to last a lifetime!

Thank you for any help you can give folks!

Well if you got any pictures, let me know. Best pictures, I'll choose you as best answer. Ready-Set-Go!

A few months ago my front windows stopped working. I checked the fuse for the power windows located underneath the hood. It looked fine, not burned out or anything. A couple of days ago the back windows went out as well. I've been too busy to take it to a dealer & I'd like to try & fix it myself. A guy at the oil change place said the fuse underneath the hood was still good. If it's the motor, is there any way I can fix it myself?

Could it be some other fuse, an electrical one? This particular fuse also controls the power locks and they still work. Any ideas on what to do would be appreciated.

I was inside my client's house when my car got hit by his neighbour. She left the scene almost immediately, but I saw her car and there was a guy outside who knows her and told me what happend.

I called 911. Cops got her cell phone number and talked to her. She said she left a note but that's a lie (you can't do that in 30 sec). She also told them she'll call me and pay for the damage.

Well, she called and said she's sorry and stuff. I had 2 _CHEAPEST_ estimates ready so I told her it's gonna be over $500 (not incl. rental car for 3-4 days or anthing else).

She said she won't pay more than 100 bucks, 'cause "her guys" told her so and she also won't pay for rental because it can be done in a day. She wants 3 estimates...

When I asked for her license plate # and policy # she said she doesn't want to use her insurance for this and again asked for 3 estimates.

So what should I do now? She won't give her insurance info and she won't pay more than $100.

It's the best deal I've found in a month (most used car places want 4k for a car w/150k miles). I can't afford much more than 3k. Under the hood looks clean, no leaks from under the car after 30 mins of driving, good tires, a/c is kind of loud, maybe needs brake fluid, almost immaculate interior and a great body except 3-4 small dents.
