It seems to me that drivers and walkers are half asleep while commuting to work and often put cyclists at risk.

What do you think?

In some European countries, if coal is transported in open railway trucks the top is sprayed with a solution of lime. Why?

Ok this may be a shot in the dark, but I'm looking for someone out there who can tell me the paint code for the Maroon that Ford used in 1979. The truck is orange right now but some of it is peeling off and the original color was Maroon. Now my next question is, is this truck worth restoring to make profit on?

We have a 1977 Holidaire trailer, and have found that the left turn signal works, the brake lights work, but when we turn on the right signal light in our 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee, all of the lights begin to flash, much like hazard lights, including the clearance lights. We had problems last year, and it was the tow harness on our Jeep. Everything worked fine when we parked it (indoors) for the winter. Now it's giving us grief and I'd like to know if it's something we can fix ourselves, or if we will have to shell out another $200 this summer.

Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

I seem to have lost the key to my spare tire lock, for my 2000 Tundra. How do I remove it? Or where can I find a new key? I have not been able to find a key for a 2000 model.

Thanks!

Under the heading "Vehicle problem statements" it says
D/S engine mount broken R/A. Does this mean that the drivers side engine mount is broken for sure??

the 350 in my truck was just recently rebuilt, 0.30 over pistons, .20 under crank, .488 lift comp cams cam, lifters and springs. The problem is that sometimes there is a noise that comes from inside the engine, sounds like something is rattling against one of the counterweights on the crankshaft, took the oil pan off and found the oil pump pickup laying on the bottom of the oil pan, so I put the pickup back on and then tack welded like it was suppose to be. But the rattle is still there, not all the time, just when it's cold or I turn a corner really fast. I can sometimes hear it when I crawl under the hood and rev the engine really hard. Could something be broke in the transmission making that sound or could it be my flywheel doing it. Already ruled out dipstick, checked the torque converter bolts, and the bellhousing bolts. Although the bellhousing bolts were a little loose.

I've just had a 125 scooter motor rebuilt ( I live in Taiwan ) and the mechanic told me to use 92 rating fuel. This is the lowest octane here. 92, 95, 98 are the choices. Why would a lower octane rating be better for a new engine?

I have a 2006 Honda Civic. At the time I bought it, I was given a 10.25% interest rate on my loan. My credit score has gone up considerably since then and I feel I can get a better interest rate now. I still owe close to $20,000 on my car loan and 18 months has passed by since I bought it originally. I love my car; I even put tinted windows on it! I would like to save some money in interest, though. So, I am wondering if I should refinance or purchase a new one. My bank can give me a 7.25% interest and they say it is the best move. The dealership has already sent me a letter saying "We need your used car!" It goes without saying that the sales rep is dying for me to come in and sell me a car. He also says it is the best thing to do. Whom do I believe? I hope I can get some great advice from you in this matter.
