Okay, here is what happened. My daughter has a Harley she loves, and recently, while she was in the hosptial having surgery for her cancer, I drew the words "I love you" in the dust on the outside of her bike. Later, when she saw it she about came undone! She was so upset, telling me that I had ruined the custom paint job! She said that she tried "dusting" it off, and could still see the words, she even tried washing it off, and could still see the words. At first, I didn't believe her but later when I checked it out myself, sure enough... you can see the words if you look very closely! What happened here??? These aren't "scratches"... more like a "stain" on the surface. I licked my index finger while doing the words, to make the words stand out better (wiping the finger off between licks, of course!) so did that do it? Is there a way to get this out? I feel absolutely horrible about it! She has been through enough, and now her mom ruins her paint job on her bike. Help???

I just purchased a 1976 Honda CB750, but need to know if I have a 750A, F, or K so that I can order the correct brake parts. The VIN is CB750-2559313. It has chrome front and rear fenders and the emblem says "750 Four". Thank you!

the car is still running hot, just replaced expansion tank since mine had a crack in it so it over heated. after replacing the tank i have noticed that it is still running hot so i let it cool and the tank is empty again. How long until the radiator fills so it will start running normal?

It seems that I have the option to fit different size alloys to my car. I cango for 15-16-or 17 in the wheels on the cata re 15 in but these have replaced the original alloys at some point. The tyres i have are all fairly new and i dont really want to trade on swop them at this stage, however it seems that the wheel styles in that size are limited and in any event I would prefer to go bigger than the 15x5.5j that are on there any advice please.

The other night my friend and I both ran over an enormous tire tread that someone had left on a narrow bridge on which the speed limit is 55 mph. While nothing happened to my car, his car, having slightly lower suspension and bumpers, had its front bumper, lowlights, and dual exhaust attachment ripped off, causing a considerable amount of damage to the undercarriage in passing. One of our coworkers mentioned that there's some government office that's supposed to keep roads safe to drive on and that by calling them my friend could get them to cover the cost of his repairs, considering that his insurance company most likely won't. Does anyone know who he should call about this?

I have an RX7 and it basically sits in the garage most of the time I drive it maybe once a week sometimes once every two weeks and only put about 30 miles on it in that time, I was wondering if I hardly drive it do I still need to change the oil every 3 months or 3,000 miles or is it okay to just change it every so often and if not what should I do or what oil should I buy so I don't have to change it out, but every so often?

the past few weeks some sort of fluid or liquid has been on the floor board of my car in front of the passenger seat. Also, i notice a lot of fluid under my car on the ground as well. Today i got in my car and there was a big puddle of the strange brown fluid on the floor in front of the passenger seat. I just got my car fixed and the mechanic didn't see anything, but now it's even more of a problem. I have no idea what it is, where it's coming from, or what could possibly leak from the engine to wet the floor of my car. What is it and is it dangerous?

I have a 1992 Jeep Cherokee Laredo (4.0 liter) and I just had the head gasket changed yesterday. Today I changed out the spark plugs and air filter. I know that the catalytic converter is supposed to be working hard right now because of all the carbon that is going through it now. But whenever I come to a red light, the idle goes REALLY low and the car starts shaking. Also, when I go above 45mph, there's a weird knocking noise, but it doesn't come from the engine. It sounds like it's coming from the exhaust. I've already put in fuel injector/ carburator cleaner in it yesterday (it was acting weird yesterday too). Is this supposed to happen? And if so, when will it go back to normal!?

So are their different types of motor oils ("Q Horsepower" and "Q Torque Power") really work as they say, or are they just hype? I aks because there are so many different synthetic oils out now and Quaker state seems to have more varieties than anyone else.

Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated, especially since my wife loves to punch the pedal on our suv with over 100k miles when on the highway or just driving around.

I have a black 1997 Nissan Maxima and I want to know wheter I can put an alternate engine in it, that will make it perform better(high performance). An example would be replacing a honda prelude's default engine with a B-20 V tech engine. Pls tell the name of the engine I can replace the maxima's default engine with, and where I could acquire one.
Please dont post any responces regarding the legality of it, because this is just for informational purposes only, despite the fact that i ask where you could acquire the default engine.
Thanks in advanced!!!

My Camry is leaking oil but I'm not sure why? It gives off a very strong almost intoxicating odour every now and again and once in a while it releases smoke from under the bonnet for about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Also, when I first start my car after a few hours of being parked up, my A/C blasts cold air for about 5 minutes and then blasts hot air for the remainder of the time the car is running. I took the car to a recommended mechanic who did some kind of temporary fix for both of my problems, so the problem still exists.
Any ideas what may be causing these things to happen?
Any solutions or suggestions on how to fix them?
