I live in NY state...I was involved in a minor accident recently. The police report assigned no fault to either party. Essentially, it is a he said/she said case. I did not file a claim since the damage to my vehicle is so incredibly minor. However, the other party did.

What would happen if my insurance co. assigns equal fault to each party? Will I have to pay anything out?

I just got my oil changed on my 2001 Dodge Neon and was told that my transmission fluid was burnt and needed a transmission flush. Is this true and if so where should I go to get it flushed?

Ok so i got into a wreck on the 27th of july. It was her fault, she even admitted it and it says so on the police report. On the police report it had the insurance info so i called them filed a claim and had to wait a week just to find out they had canceled their insurance with that company. So i called the "guilty party" and asked them what they were planning on doing. They said that they had already switched insurance, so i got that info, called that company and made a claim. 2 days later they tell me that the "guilty party" purchased the insurance 11 days after the accident. What i want to know is how the heck do i get them to fix or replace my car?! My coverage is liability only so i don't think my company will help at all. I'm 34 weeks and 2 days pregnant and have no car. These jerks are just toying with me. I'm about to have a baby and i'm not gonna have a car. Can they get away with this? Am i screwed? (nothing rude please)

I just bought a '06 Kawasaki Ninja 650R. When I get on I can hold it up fine with the front of my feet but should both my feet be flat on the ground?

Just curious. Also what got you interested in the first place and how did you make the leap and buy your fist one. Thanks!

Went for an oil change and they told me my oil pan gasket is leaking. How much would this type of repair generally cost?

What is the cheapest method of getting it fxed.

I'm sure I've seen stuff that you can just add to your oil to stop leaks, or am I wrong??

Looking at selling my 2000 Suzuki Bandit within the next month or two. I just put new tires on it within the last 4 months. It has a new chain (as of yesterday). It has some scratches on the right side of the ferring and a little on the pipe and engine guard. Doubt there's much I can do about those. What else can I do to make my bike most appealing to get the best price for it?

I dropped the dang thing while scrubbing the carbon buildup off the crown, and it landed on it's skirt and flattened it ever so slightly - but enough to keep it from being reinserted into the cylinder. The piston crown fits into the cylinder nicely about 4/5 the way in, then hangs where the flattened section begins.

It's aluminum, and I think I can "re-round" it, but that's still stressing a part that's been 'stressed' already. BSA Starfire/Triumph TR250 parts are interchangable, but rare enough for me to consider 'fixing' what I have. Or, should I chalk this up to searching the internet for a replacement piston?

I know the TIburon will be changed to Coupe/Tuscani. But I dont know if that happens in 2008 or 2009. I'm wondering if it will be possible to find a 2008 Hyundai Tiburon.

Here is the scoop. I took my car to an auto shop to have my header leaks fixed. When i picked my car up, $400 later, the guy tells me that the left side is quite but now I have a small leak on the right. Helloo......dual exhaust...header leak....I figured both would have been fixed. Apparently you have to be specific...

I have a 2000 Chevy Cavalier. The cars temperature is fluxuating from very hot to normal. It seems to be completely random. Sometimes it happens when i Idle other times when I'm driving, usually happens when the a/c is on. I have replaced the fan which was broken, but the problem is still persisting. I plan on replacing the belt b/c it is worn, and also putting in a new 180 degree thermostat. Is there anyone out there that has had a similar situation and found out what the deal was. please respond.

Thanks
Kevin
