Or at least ever was one? Is it like something a rich person would drive? Cause I think now but I'm just wondering...
I think it's a cheap car. And was so even when it was brand new. What do you think? I'd really like to know.

I drive a 1998 Honda Accord and I am planning on purchasing some rims. I am not sure wether to get 17 or 18" because I am not sure how the ride differs between the two sizes. I would like that to be explained.

Also I am stuck between two rims one is a 17" that I am in love with :

The other is an 18" that I adore:

I am not sure which would provide the best drive the 17 or the 18.

If you could help me out with that I would greatly appreciate it and also tell me which rim (out of the two I posted) that you prefer. Thank you in advance!

I was thinking about buying a small yacht in the next year and sailing across the pacific with a friend. By default i was just planning to buy it in california and sail west. While tossing the idea around my friend suggested that instead we fly to somewhere in asia and buy a boat there and sail it back. His thinking being that if they are made over there half the price must be transporting it to america!

If we bought it in america and sail it over there, then decided we dont know what to do with it and want to sell it we may not be able to get back even 1/3rd of our investment (supply and demand).

But if we go there first and sail back we might even be able to sell it for more than we paid!

Any ideas, tips or thigns we should look out for?

I am travelling from Kings Cross to London Paddinton by tube- I've checked and think i must take the Hammersmith and City line to get there.
My question is once I'm there, are there normal trains from Paddington becuase i then am supposed to take a GNER train to Reading Station from Paddington?
Thanks

There's this boat that I know exists, but I have no clue what it's called. It's kind of a flat board on top, but it's got two buoyant chambers underneath, one on each side holding it up, that look like canoes. I'm not sure if there's a sail or not, but does anyone know what kind of boat I'm rambling about?

There are many floating houses now on the market, not just barges, but full size three bed houses, the services are supplied by telescopic hoses and cables with a couple of good anchors, at least people would not have to keep starting over when washed out and they cost less than a re-build, also if you wanted to move just take the house with you, just hire a tug, as for transport those six wheel road worthy floating run abouts are ideal, good way to relieve road congestion in some places. but the govn. would have to build a few more slipways

According to "Trucks" (TV show), there was a Roush truck, very fast doing 0 to 60 in 6.2 sec and a quarter mile in 15.2 sec.

Now here is the good part

A 2006 Hyundai Sonata with 235 Hp and at a weight of 3600 lb can do 0 to 60 in 6.6 seconds and a quarter in 15.5- 15.6

Why can the 500 Hp racing truck only do a tad better than a Hyundai with half the power?

a "mechanic" friend of mine noticed that my lower radiator hose looks like it sprays out coolant while im driving but not when the car is parked (answering my question of why i lose coolant but never see a drop on the ground) he says fixin it will make my engine not get so hot...i kind of don't think thats all that needs to be fixed...When i drive my dashboard temp gauge stays almost to C unless i have to idle for a long time or stuck in traffic but my engine gets insanely hot.. even when I got its oil changed last month the guy said WOW ur engine is too hot.. Any ideas why the engine gets soo hot and the gauge doesnt tell me? Im gettin the spark plugs and wires (they are horribly worn) and the lower radiator hose replaced friday and i had a radiator flush. I always check to see if there is coolant and i add it as needed.

I have a navigator Guimin Nuvi 360, portable GPS for car driver. I live in San Jose, California, USA. In the manual, they said it is not OK to install this navigator onto the windshield of your car in California and Minesota. Do you know if there is any other way to affix it onto your car so that you can view during your driving. Is it really illegal to affix it onto the windshield in California? What happen if I keep having it on my windshield? Is there anybody having ticket because of that?

I am 17-years-old and three months ago i was in a car accident involving a drunk driver. I was on my way home from work, and the drunk driver went through a stop sign, hit the car door on my side, and put my car head on into a telephone pole. My car was totaled. The accident was clearly his fault, and he was charged.. with driving witout a licensee, failure to yield a stop sign, driving under the influence, and leaving the scene of an injured accident..... he unfortunatly did not have insurance, so of course, my insurance took all the crap... i did have uninsured motorist however; anyway, i got money for a car already, and money to pay off all my medical bills and everything, but nothing for missing work or pain and suffering yet.. about what can i expect for pain and suffering??? and who is going to be the one who sends me this money???
