I just ordered some new polished aluminum rims for my truck because I've had problems with chrome plating peeling off chrome rims in the past. I've heard many products can take the finish off polished aluminum and was wondering what is the best product to use without taking away the shine?

My car has been in the shop for five weeks and they still havent finished reparing it!
There is collision damage in the rear- Not that major.
How can I get my car back if it is in pieces and they wont fix it 'cause they are waiting on some part.?Can I sue them?

This car has been a pain In the butt for me, It Is a 1993 Lincoln Town Car Signature. It keeps putting really bad and has very little power to It and only gets up to about 30mph and If you try to press the gas pedal down It sounds like Its under water and makes crackling sounds and wont alcelerate. I replaced the battery,Altenator,Fuel filter and spark plugs the wires look almost new. Maybe the EGR Valve?

Any Idea what this could be without me taking It to a shop?
Any help would be great!
Thanks!

I read somewhere that it was not and about died! They said it was an optional package and available standard on the SE and XLE. How is that possible? I thought it came standard on all vehicles now? Any info for this?

Also, what are your thoughts on this car? I bought it used and love it so far!

Source: UAW workers told me this morning and they are very unhappy about it. ( Told to me at Wixom Michigan near the Ford plant that closed and 4,000 American workers lost their jobs) The UAW workers are angry everytime they see an American driving a foreign car. Why are they so angry?

I was driving the other day and a sign on the roadside flashed that I was going at 25 MPH when my speedometer told me I was going at 30. How accurate are these signs?

I went out and got insurance the next day. Will that help my case? I have to go to court next month. I won't give a detailed explanation of my excuse because i am sure the judge would not care. no excuses.

So on a 600r bike, can you maintain higher overall cornering speed by entering slightly too fast then brake up untill the apex? If so, do you use front brake, back brake, or a combination of the two?

This is not the first time that I saw this in my little city in India( pondicherry now puducherry). The streets here are very busy and crossing it is dangerous, for dogs it usually is life and death deal. But this dog waited till it saw someone who was crossing then followed him behind till he reached the other side then it left the person and went on it's way. I was impressed at first, but then I thought it just happened by chance. what do you think about it? tell me about some strange dog cases you have seen. Is it possible this dog found it safe to follow a person than doing it itself? ( there were no Zebra crossings and the person wasn't carrying anything )

I was driving to work, heard a small noise like air was just let out of something, pull into work (actually coasted in), and my engine light comes on. I popped the hood open and there is a hole in my crank case cover on top. I am no mechanic, believe me. Just by reading this any idea what it could have been? Threw a rod? Since it was on the top of the crankcase would I be able to have that replace fairly cheap if I can find one in a junk yard (the casing)?

One note...my car didn't lock up, my oil light never came on either. I didn't find any "debris" from the engine anywhere either.

I am buying a new car stereo. It will be a sony since I can get it for free with my hard earned Sony points.

I found a hard connect on Amazon but the reviews were terrible. I don't want to use an FM transmitter, it's a pain when I'm traveling and have to find free frequencies.

Has anyone had success with a connector with their iPod? Can you provide the model information?

I want to put an injector on SI type engine. Give it an electronically controlled injector. I cant alter stroke and compression ratio. Just want to know if diesel will ignite properly. I am putting centrifugal supercharging for increasing the volumetric ratio and want to make it able to run on gasoline, diesel, and if possible E85. This will be done on a 2 wheeler for my college's final year project. Please kindly help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You can give better ways too.
