I moved to Florida from Maine a couple of years ago, and the DMV forgot to add the motorcycle endorsement emblem on my new FL license. I have a copy of my old ME license that is inactive but shows the endorsement. Do I still have my motorcycle license or would I have to take the test again?

I've read that Boeing has begun talks with American and Delta about future orders for the 787 Dreamliners. The 787s composit fusilage looks like it comes off the production line a kind of muddy brown color. Is it likely that American will opt for a silver paint job to match the rest of their unpainted polished metal fleet?

My Vulcan 750 misfires, especially at hi speeds and usually around 4000 rpm. I can't accelerate and often start slowing down if I'm over 50mph. If I change gears, it usually goes away. I've changed the plugs and plan to check and make sure the new ones are still good. What else should I check?

When I start my car, it makes a very loud squealing noise when I turn to the right, but only for the first minute or two the car is started. I don't get the noise again until the next day. Any ideas of what this could be? This has been happening for the past week or so. I have an appointment with the shop Friday, but I'd like some preparation for what I may be facing...thanks for any help!

I was watching the Today Show yesterday and they had a guy on there talking about ways to save on gas. Someone asked him if you had to put premium gas in cars that said premium gas only by the gas caps. He said no, because these cars have ( knock sensors ) letting the engine know if it needs to make adjustments to make the engine to run smoother! I don't think someone would be on a show like that and not know what they are talking about. I didn't catch what or who he worked for. Most if not all cars built in the last ten years are pretty much computerized , making me believe he is right. Is he right?

my wife and i have one car payment that we aqquired about 16months ago i pay about $50 more on the bill each month. Our intrest rate with our loan company is a little high and my wife thinks that if we refiance that would be better but i would hate to loose out on the extra that i have been paying and gain a longer loan with less of a payment. my thought is to just continue paying the extra...not sure who is right

A couple of months ago, my poor little Rover Metro broke down on the motorway with steam coming out of the engine. RAC towed me to a garage where they couldn't actually find out what was wrong with it. They thought it was the thermostat and changed that but then thought the head gasket could have gone and basically after getting a electric expert in, they concluded to me that it was pretty much beyond repair and would be cheaper to scrap than to repair. So - after much heartache (first car), I signed the V5 for them to scrap it. However now, my husband walked past the garage today and it's outside with a new tax disc on it. Surely they can't do this can they?
Have I got a leg to stand on to get it back??
My husband is going over there after work to see what they say.
Have I been had?
Thanks

I have a 1x12 system in my car. I have a 400wattx MTX amp. All of my wiring has been checked by a professional, and it is all good. However, when I hook it all up, my bass response is very weak. I hooked the same system into my friends car with a higher end head unit (perhaps about $180), and the system hit much harder. I'm confused because I am almost positive that the head unit has nothing to do with the power of my sub since I, (like almost every sound system owner in the world) have a specific amplifier to power this component. Could someone please give me some insight?

I only drive the car about 5000 miles per year and never in the snow or rain. The car is a pure "fun vehicle" that I want to ride as smooth and quiet as possible.

I want a motorcycle. My parents say it's way too dangerous and they'd rather I get a car. When I argue that you also get into accidents in cars but they insist bikes are far more deadly.

Will you help me answers? Or will you side with them? >3>
