Cars & Transportation - 14 July 2007

My son and his friends wants to take a trip down to Florida from Maryland next weekend. They want to rent a car for the trip down. All 3 of them are planning to drive because of the long journey. They're 20,19,and 18 years old.
We looked up car rentals and it said that the person picking up the car has to be 25+.

I'm wondering if the car rental insurance, under my name, will cover all 3 of them?

I live in Okinawa Japan and we just got slammed with a Typhoon yesterday! I had my car parked in the street like many others and the street drains got clogged with debri from the storm and my car got flooded majorily by the rain water! There is still alot of water in there and man does it stink ALREADY! How do I go about getting the rest of the water out and cleaning this up or is it a loss?

My moped is a Roketa Sicily50cc. Right now the tires are at about half the 36PSI max, or a little lower, yet they feel firm. I just want to know if I should fill them some more.

Alright this problem makes no sense and any help is much appreciated. I have a Pontiac Sunfire and one of the headlights is very dim. I looked at the wiring and I found the strangest thing. Both lights are wired on one 15A fuse. At first I thought maybe the first light is taking all the power but the lights are wired in parallel. If both lights are in parallel then shouldn't they both get an equal amount of power? Why is one dim? I tried changing the bulb but nothing! What could be causing one light to be so dim? Would it be okay to put a 30A fuse on it (if that works that is)?

If I have a higher/lower PSI in my Moped tires will it affect the speed, or just the smoothness of the ride? I just have a Roketa Sicily 50cc and wondered what the affect might be. Right now they are at half the PSI or a few less, yet they seem firm.

I am trying to remove the bolt which holds the Vibration Dampener to the crank shaft. The pulley is blocked to prevent it from turning but I am having great difficulty in removing the retaining bolt.

I have assumed that this bolt is a right hand thread..... Can someone confirm if this is in fact so...

OK, So here's the deal... Noticed yesterday the clutch in our 91 nissan sentra seemed kinda loose.. figured ok, will have to get it in ..Driving down the street yesterday and all of a sudden go to switch into third and there is no getting into any gears, push the clutch in and it stays on the floor, so after a nice tow, we get back, everyone said it was a hose or something, but the hose is fine, there was no loud noise liek teh clutch itself actually going, and we can't find anywhere to add fluid to the transmission... so what do we do? what could it be? There is literally no pressure behind the clutch. Someone said the transmission isn't seized, because when it's not running you can put it into all teh gears... any ideas???

If the battery is water proofed enough, will a DC motor work under sea water? Will the salt water affect it? I'm not talking deep sea diving.

I've just hit 16, and want to learn how to ride a moped and get a license.
I was wondering how important the license plate reading part of the test is, as I have difficulty reading letters and numbers that are far away, but otherwise my vision is fine. Will this matter?
Also, if anyone could recommend any nice models of moped, that'd be great. I had my sites set on a Vespa PX, but they only come in 125cc, and at my age 50cc is the limit, right?

Any other advice or things I should know would be spiffy! Thanks!

^_^

For my season start up procedures, I started the motor on my driveway with the water ear muffs. I got it started ok, ran it, re-started it several times and shut it down. The next morning I noticed oil leaking from the flange water port holes (above the water intake). The oil was black and dirty. It leaked maybe a few ounces and stopped. Someone told me it was just unburnt oil that had discharged. I did this another evening and same result. It leaked a fewounces and stopped. The motor works fine in all other respects. Is this normal, or do I have problem?

A friend asked to borrow my car for an hour. After three hours, I called and asked him to return my car. He hung up the phone and never returned the car. After hours of calling, i fell asleep. I saw my car on the news the next morning in a high speed chase as it went through a building, totaling the car. I began calling his phone. He answered telling me he had just got out of jail and that my car was not wrecked. Your car is in the police pound. I will pay for it. after hours of waiting, my insurance company called. Yes the car was wrecked. This person is not on my insurance and actually no longer had my permission to be driving my car. Now I am car-less, he says not to worry he will buy me another one.(yeah right) just dont press charges. My feelilngs are involved in this one, but i was taken advantage of and my wishes were not respected. In his defense, he lied because he was trying to get me another car before i found out. now i have no way to get to work or get around.
