Cars & Transportation - 10 July 2007

I am having a tough time with their insurance adjuster, can I get a copy of the picture of the damage to her their car and the price it cost to repair? Or do I have to get a Lawyer? I have been having a lot of pain and have been paying out of my own pocket for medical, I don't know what to do. Can anyone advise. Never been through this before. I won't name the insurance company, but, I will say that I have had good NEIGHBORS and none of them were like this company. If that's what they think a good neighbor does to people, I don't want any. LOL I will appreciate any advice.
Thanks

I have replaced my headlights multiple times over the past year, but recently I changed out the passenger side headlight with a bulb that I've used before from O'Reilly Auto Parts. The dilemma is that this time the bulb shines VERY dim (like a crappy flashlight low on batteries). I went to AutoZone, got another bulb, and the same thing happened. I then took a look at my high beam on the same (passenger) side which I had replaced recently, and it was also dim. I have also recently changed out my battery because it died. I think the old battery may have contributed to why I was having to change the lights every month or so. The driver's side lights still work properly though.
I can't figure out why there is such little power going to those lights. Perhaps it is the bulb that is at fault? It seems like a more complicated electrical problem, but I want to at least try to figure it out before taking it to a shop.

I wanna know the sacrifices people are willing to make to fix what we've done to our planet? What actions are you prepared to take to help?

I just replaced the piston rings and valve seals because smoke was coming out but still there is white/blue smoke! when i had the semi overhaul they also checked the turbo manifold for signs of an oil leak in case the turbo was damaged but there were no traces of oil and turbo is not noisy in anyway..the mechanic said he wanted to cut the pipe of my muffler because it seems like there is an obstruction because smoke comes out of the air filter if revved..but not sure if this could be causing the smoke..i have a toyota starlet gt turbo 1995 ep82

I can afford one, so obviously I'm not jealous about not having one. My significant other never "ran off with a biker" so it's not that. I've ridden them before, so I do understand. And, from what I've been told on more than one occassion, I am a real man. So I pass all the cliche tests of what supposedly is required (according to many of the Harley guys on Yahoo Answers) and yet I still don't want one. According to the requirements set forth by all the Harley guys, I should be unloading all sorts of cash at the Harley dealer and riding home on 800 pounds of underpowered chrome. For some reason I'd rather ride my BMW. Can someone please tell me what my problem is?

I drive a 2001 Acura 3.2 CL-Type S. Im not sure if its automanual transmission (I think its called tiptronic) or if its a 5 speed automatic transmission. But I always drive in the 5th speed or the 5th gear depending on the transmission. Is it affecting my gas mileage, because all the specifications say I should get around 20 mpg in the city. However I get like 13 mpg in the city. Is this affecting my gas mileage? Or are there other things that are affecting it? Thank you.

I have a 2003 Mustang GT, and when I step on the gas the tires spin a lot, even with brand new wide tires.

The control arms are GRANATELLI brand....is that a good brand??

Do you think it will help me with the wheel spin?


What else could I buy for my car that will help that?

and no I dont want to take any air out of the tires.

Thank You

So boost is measured by how much the air is compressed because when the volume decreases the pressure increases and if you increase the volume of air and compress it you have a higher boost pressure? Is this correct? How can you be producing more boost when at lower air masses than at higher air masses? Example 9psi@30lb/min 20psi@20lb/min How is this possible? When there is more pounds of air flowing wouldnt there be more boost because more air is flowing? Or does it depend on volume rather than pounds? Can you please explain this to me in detail?

Do GPS companies charge a monthly subscription fee to use or activate their products- in the same manner XM Satellite Radio charges a monthly fee to listen to it?

Daimler practically gave away Chrysler to Cerebus Capital. This financial co. will break up Chrysler and sell off any pieces to turn a profit. DO NOT buy a Chrysler because they wont be around 5 years from now (and they have the industry worst warranty)

Prioritize it please - maybe most important to least important or most expensive to least expensive, or any other way you want.

Please dont just tell me to see a mechanic or to check my owners manual.

The car runs fine, I've done all the regular upkeep.

But in GENERAL what is a list of things to check/ change/ update/ fix/ maintain etc etc etc a car.

Either from the crew, on the radio, pilot to co-pilot, flight engineer. etc. I have seen some very experienced pilots on this site, you all must have heard some comments/statements, directions, that would make milk spew out of your nostrils! Best answer gets two FREE economy tickets on any airline that does NOT seat two 5' 9" 350lb passengers in both the aile and window seats,of the same row, then tries to fit you in between them on a NYC to LAX direct, non-stop flight!

im not that good at driving manual or using paddle shifter in cars since i dont know what is a good rpm to shift up(i just shift up when i hear the engine gettin loud i dont know if thats good or not). They say manuals are a little more fuel efficent, last longer and sometimes cheaper, so i would like to buy one but so for now i drive automatic. Your answer will be apreciated (your specific details too!)

can you can also tell me when is a good rpm(or speed) to shift down?(when using paddle shifters)
