I’m thinking of wrapping my headers on my sport bike with black exhaust wrap more for the look. Will I gain horsepower by doing this or will I cause damage to the bike?

A friend of mine took my car keys and drove my car without my knowledge. They got pulled over by the police and revealed they had no licence or insurance. They have been given 7 days to produce the valid documents which obviously they cannot do. They will get a fine/points but will this affect me? Will I get any penalty/points or is this purely their responsibility/problem? The police contacted me to ask whether the friend had stolen it, to which I said no. Does this affect me negatively. Many thanks for the advice.

I was stopping for a red light and a car behind me bumped me. My car is in the shop now. They told me that I have to pay a $500 deductible cost. Since it is not my fault, I don't want to pay for the $500 Friends of mine told me they never paid for anyone in an accident. Is it my responsibility to pay for the $500 deductible?

Suzuki Announces Hayabusa 1500

Suzuki Motors USA announced today the introduction of the Hayabusa 1500, a 1498cc version of their top-selling sportbike.

“Since its introduction in 1999 the Haaybusa has been the unquestioned king of sportbikes,” said Hal Jalikacek, product manager for Suzuki. “It became apparent to us that some other company wanted to upstage us with a 1400cc bike. That just would not fly. We need to place ourselves back on top.”

The new Hayabusa will be available in dealers in May and will have an MSRP of $12,450. Top speed will be production-limited at 186 mph which can actually be reached in fifth gear of its six-speed gearbox. The new Hayabusa is also available with an optional supercharger, boosting its power output to 570 hp. The Hayabusa 1500SC will have the highest output of a

We're looking at buying a boat (bayliner 21 foot) and wondering if we need to buy an SUV or whether a Saturn sedan can tow it? It looks like our mercedes C-240 cannot, as I looked for towing packages for it and couldn't find any. Thanks!

Recently my truck, (2000 model btw) started missing. it done this once before and i added some fuel injector cleaner and cleared the problem. Now its doing it again, done the same thing but this time the problem still remains. Now a symbol that looks like a engine has came on and will not go off. I know its not the check engine light. So, what does this symbol mean and what can i look at to stop this miss. Its driving me crazy not being able to narrow down what it is.

Hi everyone! I just bought 4 barely used tires off of ebay. The seller conveniently left out the fact that there was white paint on one of the tires. If there is a way to get the white paint off the tires rather than try to get my money back. I would rather just get the paint off. Is there any way to get dried white paint off my tires that just came in? Will paint thinner work or will it ruin the strength of my tire. If anyone knows how to handle this that would be great. Thanks Everyone!

I just got a new boat with a diesel engine and I don't understand why there is a coolant tank as well as a water pump? I think the water pump goes to the heat exchanger but what actually cools the motor - how does this stuff work?

Had my first driving lesson today and it went surprisingly well! I was wondering if it's better to have just the one hour, once a week, or has anyone found it better to have maybe two one hour lessons each week, or one two hour etc...? Also, i've been reading a lot of driving tips books, the highway code, practicing my hazard perception and theory etc. Do you think i should just concentrate on the driving itself or is it better to try learn everything at once? I'm a 21 year old female, does anyone know rougly how long it will take me to learn everything so i can take my test? I know everyone is different but id just like an idea. I think i pick things up fairly quickly. Thanks

I have a 67' Chevy Pickup and having a problem with my brake lights, and I know its not the brake light switch. Also the lights only light up with the parking lights on but don't brighten when the brake pedal is applied. What I have found out is when I took the steerin wheel off and adjusted some of the wires, one light would come on and the other one wouldn't. I tried it again and both lights stopped working. I think it's the wiring in the column,but nobody sells just the wiring for the column. Please help me

It pops up for a second or 2, the car then brakes, but when the light goes off, everything is back to normal. Should I be worried?
