There were 5 people in the car, the driver (the 17 year old girl) was injured, and a 17 year old in the backseat was killed. Another teen was left with brain damage. What kind of sentence will she get? Will she be charged as an adult? What will happen to her?

I knew that my Ford Focus 2.0 liter held 4.5 quarts of oil. Not thinking about what I was doing at the moment (cuz I was talking to someone), I put in 5 full quarts. Will this harm anything? Or should I go through the effort of draining 1/2 quart? As always, thanks to the American Public for your answers.

Why is it that in Ohio, everyone in a vehicle is permitted to wear a seat-belt, but cyclists can wear sandals, no shirt, shorts, and worst of all, no helmet??? Are they crazy?

I bought a 2004 F-150 three years ago when I graduated High School. I have finally put 75,000 miles on it so the warranty is now void. I want to supercharge it, but the only blowers I can find are for the bigger 5.4L V-8.

I have just finished re-building my 78 KZ650 from top to bottom. Well everything except the engine that is. And I would love to put some more cc's behind her. I would love to put the KZ1000 into it but i really don't want to modify the frame. If anyone knows what engines would fit into the frame...ie mounts and size. I don't really care about compatability with anything other parts. I had so much fun i would start from scratch again.

I need a good transportation. The motor scooters sold by the scooter store is probably too slow. The electric scooter won't work because I can't keep my balance. I need something that doesn't require a drivers license, doesn't require balance, and can go at least 10 M.P.H. Fastest transportation speed gets best answer. I want it to be an independent ride so I don't want any answers saying get some one to dr5ive me because I'd have to wait for them.

here is the link to the craigslist add http://sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/car/366116092.html
one issue that i need to sort out is a sort of warranty deal i offered the seller(an auto broker). i said that i would pay $11k dollars and for one year he would pay up to $1k combined dollars of necessary repairs. he said he would go up to $400 in repairs for the first year. should i ask for more? is this even a good deal? are there potentially serious and costly problems that could develop at 109k miles for a 3 series?

thanks

We're working on a 1990 Honda CR-X trying to replace the timing belt. To get to the timing belt we have to remove the harmonic balancer. The bolt that hold the harmonic balancer on is hopelessly stuck. We've broken 3 ratchets trying to get it off. We sprayed it with Bolt-Breaker and it still won't come loose. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I've been fiberglassing over wooden hulls for years now with epoxy resin and fiberglass cloth. Now I want to try my hand at making a male mold to make a female mold to make practice pieces before I go on to my actual project. I've had people who do this for a living give me glimpses of how they did theirs but I have no on-hands experience or even witnessed a mold being made and used properly. I'm trying to find books that can help me make molds and use them but I haven't found any worth buying from online bookstores yet. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

As you drive and apply brakes, brakes develop less free play when released and will stay applied until truck is shut down and left off for a period of time. This is a hydravac system.

I bought this car 10 months ago for 550 and then paid 530 to have new breaks and tires put on it. Recently it blew a head gasket... I found someone who could fix the car for 300 dollars because they will charge a flat rate for fixing the car... Which is really good for me... but I was just wondering if it is worth it to put the money into this car... I mean, its really my only option right now... im only 17 and I turn 18 in October and plan on buying a new car then... I have no one who could help me get a car earlier because everyone I know has bad credit... but does anyone have suggestions on things I should look out for or if its worth it to put the money in this car? Im just really frustrated at the moment.
