I can see one plane hitting WTC without being intercepted, but every plane that crashed after that seemed increasingly inexplicable given our decades of developing air defenses, the density of military installations on the East Coast, and a plane hitting the Pentagon, which should be within the most protected airspace in the country.

I grew up next to an interceptor base. Even when I was a kid and they had F-101s, those planes could be to altitude in a couple of minutes and fly supersonic for short bursts.

F-15 & 16s can scramble and get to altitude in probably under two minutes from brake release, and they can fly over Mach 2 for short bursts. After one plane hit the WTC, you would think the normal restraints about going supersonic would have been rescinded. Instead, the first stories about the interceptors sent after the hijacked planes had them traveling at below 500 mph, at least 100 mph slower than an airliner can travel.

Would it be the day it left the assembly line?
The day it arrived at the dealership?
Or is it the day I bought it and rode it home?

I replaced the fuel pump and the fuel filter. Ran fine for about 2 days and now doent seem to be getting a fuel. Will start if you put fuel in the carb but no fuel is getting to the carb from the lines. Truck has duel tanks, but I only use the front tank as the switch has been disingaged. Please help with any ideas

Just wondering if anyone knows how much it would roughly cost to have the camshaft replaced in a 94 holden barina. Do you think its worth it? Or should the engine just be replaced?

I feel like I need to keep pressing the clutch when downshifting till I'm certain that my speed is slow enough before the car starts boucing which sometimes happens whenever I shift to a lower gear like when I approach the red light for example. For this reason, I started to hit the neutral straight from 4th instead.

As I am not Mechanicaly minded but I have a question I have got a ordinary diesel engine, is it possible to change it and replace it with a turbo diesel engine. If so what would it involve regarding other changes. The vehicle is a Transit van.

My husband has a 1994 Chevrolet Silverado, with extended cab and long bed. He wrecked it and bent the frame. The engine and transmission are still in GREAT condition, and he would like to find the shell of another Chevrolet Silverado that has a good frame and body to put his engine and/or transmission in.

Can anyone tell me what years are compatible? It need not be extended cab nor long bed.

Right now, his truck still runs. We have been using it on the farm.

I feel like somthing might be wrong with my 2001 Toyota Rav4. When i take off it sometimes drags and has a little trouble picking up speed. Also, when I start my car it wants to hesitate and when it finally starts it idles for a split second and then levels out. What could this be? I have 193,000 miles on it and I have thought about trading it in. They say Toyotas last forever, but I travel a lot. do you think it is time to trade it in? Thanks....I'm open to anyones suggestions. thanks

Why pay premium for a Mazda product when you can get the same species under a different brand name? In some cases cheaper. A Volvo will always cost more than a Mazda. A Mazda Tribute will have a greater cost than a Ford Escape and a Mercury Mariner will trump both. Why? What more are we getting for our dollar?

Assuming you have either worked on Volvo S40 and/or been trained on the technical aspects. Based on the specs/parts that make up the car; from the standpoint of a manufacturer who has invested in the engineering of the vehicle. Between Volvo and Mazda, which brand is more mechanically sound, and which is better built from a manufacturing and technical standpoint. And why in your opinion is this so? This is primarily a research and development question.

I don't have fancy equipment- can't I just jump two of the wires in the diagnostic port to retrieve trouble codes via flashes of the check engine light? I've done it on other cars, but I don't have the book for this one. The check engine light is on, so I know that it has thrown a code.
