I live in Pensacola Florida and am interested in buying a small ultralight ailplane to fly around the beaches. How difficult is it to get a permit to fly one of these? I've heard that you don't even need a license to fly an ultralight but that doesn't make sense to me...Thanks for your help!

A car dealership is a business like any other and therefore they must make a profit. What do you think is fair. New or used.

Ok i have a 97 honda prelude. The thing is that i bought just the the car with nothing in there (no engine, tranny, interior) and they titel states thats its a 97. I put in everything from a 2001 honda prelude in it (tranny, engine, interior) so the body has like 115k miles but the engine has 49k

i am now planning on selling the car because i joined the military and leaving next month for training. how would i describe this in the newspaper ad. could i say thats its a 2001?

I have a 89 olds. 98 and it keeps draining batteries...I dont know what to do about it. It even locks when you put it in drive and now when I put it in drive it locks and when I put it in park it should unlock but it doesnt. Both the driver door and the front passenger door wont open. Does anybody know what it could possibly be? My mechanic cannot even figure it out!

How much on an average to they charge to change your break at a shop including labor? Or to do them yourself how much do the breaks cost only? My sister has a friend that knows how to change breaks, I want to know the price difference so I can see how much I can/would save? I don't know a thing about cars. I have a 2002 Ford Focus.

Does low end torque mean quick acceleration?
Is it another way of saying quick acceleration?

Hi, recently my Yamaha RD125 MK2 hasn't been starting up properly from cold or even when its warm and today i cant get it started at all. I cleaned the carb up and still get nothing. I tried kickstarting it whilst my finger was over the spark plug hole and it did not force my finger off so im guessing the compression is low? Ive also tried new spark plugs and fresh fuel but still nothing.

Does anyone know what i can do to make it start? This has only started happening recently and im guessing it might be piston rings or head gasket maybe?

I purchased a 2005 Chevrolet Aveo which has several chips and cracks in the windshield. Isn't it illegal to sell a used car with a cracked windshield? The dealer said they'd replace it free of charge but that was a month ago and I haven't heard from then since.

I have a 1994 Chevrolet K3500 6.5L Turbo Diesel 4X4. At 55 mph I have around 2250 rpm. At 65 mph I have around 2750 rpm. This truck has a Hydra-matic 4L80E 4-Speed Overdrive transmission. The info stickers are worn off the truck and I have no operators manual. These RPMs seem high to me. What is my gear ratio (3.73, 4.10, higher?) (And yes the transmission is shifting into overdrive and the torque converter is locking up)

will that make me seem like a spoiled brat? All I want is a Lexus and BMW. Im getting an IPhone in August...Seriously, i like nice things, but I work for stuff. Like my parents said they'll pay for the car and insurance, and i pay for the rest. So is this spoiled-ish?

what will be the labor to replace the car door Hinges?

Its a 1993 nissan sentra. The hinges cost around $35 each and what will be the labor. I took it to the mechanic and he told me it would be an hour worth of labor($70) but after fixing it he charged me for 1.5 hr labor. He said he needed to do some adjustments to the door. Do you think its ethical on his part to charge more once he fixed my car.
