Cars & Transportation - 14 July 2007

It's my man's birthday and we recently bought a home. We also have lots of toys; 4 wheelers, jeeps, and snowmobiles. I puchased a tool chest and now have to fill it with everything he could need to do home repairs, vehicle repairs, you name it! Everytime he goes to fix something he never has the right tools and he feels bad always having to borrow. If anyone would like to offer a list of items I should purchase, please let me know! I only have until August 5th!

i have a toyota starlet gt turbo just changed the piston rings, and valve seals due to blue smoke..after replacing the worn out parts the smoke is still as thick as it was before..the mechanic said that the liner's were alittle bit loose so he thinks that could be the problem but from past experiences even with loose liners a fresh set of piston rings wouldn't spew out this much smoke..i'm leaning toward my turbo being busted..is there a way i can figure out if the turbo is the problem? something unique to the turbo itself that busted piston rings or valve seals wouldn't do? so far the turbo isn't noisy, when i had the overhaul no oil was present in the turbo manifold leading to the engine, there is oil loss...smoke sometimes present during startups but not always, puffs come out especially when i'm going in reverse or accelerating, smoke not visible if i'm going at a constant speed

So I have a chip in my windshield...I called my insurance company to see if I had glass coverage...the rep stated that I have a $500 comp deductible...I know this...I heard from someone in the insurance industry that if the chip/crack is smaller that a dollar bill that the duductible would be waiver...also I live in central Texas and everytime I got to get my truck to be washed they always offer for my chip to be fixed for free...I have declined for fear that I would get a bill for $500 for a chipped windsheild...I also I take claims for a living for a big insurance company...but I dont work in the glass dept...that is out of a different office in CT...Help

OK, so I am a California resident. I'm in the market for a car and have been browsing the web for some used cars.

Now, I went to go see a vehicle today but was told that the advertised price did NOT include sales tax and license fees... I thought that this was a bait and switch, but is it? Do most prices on-line (such as cars.com and autotrader.com) do they list prices exluding sales and license?

This wasn't a dealership but it wasn't a private seller either it was this quasi-dealer (not an authorized dealer) just seemed like a few guys with a bunch of inventory of cars who managed to get a company name.

So what's the deal?

Thanks

Is it possible to shift gears without pushing in the clutch and without grinding or anything? Do you have to time it right or something? I heard this is what most truck drivers do because they have like 20 gears before they reach 40 mph. Is this true?

I have a 2005 Acura TL that I have had since new and am looking to trade. I am thinking of purchasing a brand new 2007 BMW 3 series.

In order to be in a price range that I consider reasonable I pretty much have a choice of the following:

328i, Premium Package, Xeon Headlights, Automatic. I could also get the 328ix.

or

335i, no extras (although you do get some just for going to this vehicle such as lights and the Logic 7), automatic.

Anyone purchased one of these? Got any good advice? Had any problems with rear wheel drive in the wet or snow (we rarely get snow where I live)? Did you get much discount at the dealership?

Any information or thoughts appreciated.

1949 Johnson 10 HP motor. Uses double fuel line and connector. I have both, but can't get the motor running, even though the person we bought it from tested it and it worked. I think the problem is definitely with how we are attempting to get gas from the pressurized (how do we know for sure it's a pressurized tank??--it appears to be) fuel tank into the motor.
