its my friends car, he bought it used, the old owner installed a sony 10 disc changer. when my friend bought the car there was no sleeve for the changer, and the back speakers didnt work just buzzed. so i hooked up his speakers to my car and they work just fine.then i cut the wires between the rear speaker and the box thing they come out of and hooked those wires strait to the speaker, and it worked. then i was checking wires for the back right speaker and touching different ones together, then all of the sudden the front speakers dont work. can anybody help???

I was just in a car accident. The car in front of me stopped at a poorly placed cross walk, so I stopped too, but the SUV behind me didnt....he smashed right into the back of my car. My car only sustained relatively minor damage to the trunk...it will probably cost around $1500 to fix I would think. He didnt want to go through insurance, so against my better judgment just got all of his insurance info, license plate, address, and phone number. We didnt call the cops. No pictures. etc. Am I going to be sorry about this? what should I do? Is there anything I can do to protect myself if this guy turns out to be a jerk who doesnt pay up?

On the drivers license written exam do they ask a lot of DUI questions,like about how long your license will get suspended?

SO far I have no holes for the front bumper...
I don't mind holes, as long as my front license plate is installed on there...

If I take it to a BMW dealer, how much will they charge me to install a bracket for my front license plate?

I removed the safety clips on each end but it still will not come off. I note that it has a ridge on each end. Is there a special tool for this?

We have a 2005 Itasca Spirit that has two deep cycle batteries that don't seem to hold a charge. I have read somewhere that a deep cycle battery should last 1 day for every cycle and our batteries will not go a full 8 hours without having to be recharged with the generator. When we run them overnight the only thing drawing power off them is the refrigerator. It appears that the battery is sealed, so no water can be added to it. Since we bought the coach new and have always had this problem with the battery I tend to think that before we bought it the battery was allowed to fully discharge too often and then was not recharged properly, and of course the manufacturer's warranty does not cover batteries!
I am curious how long other RVers dry camp using only their batteries or if you need to recharge with the generator on a daily basis? Am I expecting more than is realistic with this type of setup? What can I do differently with the new batteries we are going to purchase? Thanks!

...and whilst nicely banked-over on a right hander....

...a Baby Blade etc [CBR/VFR400] rips past on your inside, holding a tight line - his left hand indicating a reverse-facing middle finger.....

Do you...

1. Cog, cog, whaaa! And 'put the world back to rights'....[thinking - the cheeky barsteward!]

2. Swallow the insult.

Personally, I'd 'ride the edges of my rims' to correct this one!

Im buying my first car..YAY...anyways I will get a way better price (think $10k less) by purchasing the car at another dealorship within the US. (I live outside the US...but within a US territory) If something happens to this car and it needs servicing, should my warranty still be effective even if I didnt buy the car at this dealorship??
