I was wondering has bought a Street Glide older than a 06? If so, how are they compared to the newer ones? What was the first year that the Street Glides came out? Are there mechcanicaly better year moldels than others, since each year something new in the mechcanic portion of the bike changes? Thanks

I was wondering on how HD engines compare with S&S engines. Nothing like a 127cu S&S but maybe around 98cu to 107cu S&S? I would like to own a HD, around 95-05 model, but have always heard of the HD leaky engine. Plus, in custom bike mags, I always normally see S&S engines, and TP engines, but not willing to pay that much for them. Do newer HD models leak still? Do S&S engines match up to HD trannys? Has anyone ever done this? If so, what was your experince? Please, no one liner answers so you can get kudo points. Are there better websites that I can go to for this info? I would perferably don't want to go to a basis website like HOG.com or something (not sure if thats an actually website, I'm sure it is though) or ask a HD dealer. Does anyone have a S&S engine, and how do you like it? This is without mods, just stock, since there are many options of can be done to higher the output. Thanks.

People believe if a car sinks it'll keep trapped air. Maybee on a new car but I know my cars a 1988 model & i doubt my car is sealed tight enough to prevent all the air from escaping.

I have a 2002 BMW 316 E46 and sometimes just after starting there is a really bad smell comes from the vents. It's a peculiar smell, not petrol or food or anything. It's like stale water or something. Could it be the air filter or air con or something?

Science shows it would prevent millions of accidents.

When changing gear in a UK car with the steering wheel on the right, your left hand changes gear and your right hand stays on the steering wheel, (this is safer for right handed people.)

The reverse is the case in countries where one must drive on the right.-- in the USA you hold the steering wheel with your left hand and change gear with your right hand, this is dangerous if you are right handed.

Bicycles: Try mounting a bike in the USA and you will find yourself in the stream of traffic when getting on the bike---- try it yourself. Mounting a bike in the UK is done from the sidewalk by right handed people .

To reverse in the UK hold the steering wheel with right hand and look over my left shoulder to the rear window. In a USA car left hand is used and view is over right shoulder.

Right handed people are mostly "right eyed" the traffic comes toward them on their right in the UK but from the left in the US

I was told the head gasket was probably blown and that I could fix this problem if I had some time and minimal mechanical skills ... otherwise this will be around 600-1000 dollers .. Is this true and what all is involved.

Okay, here's the deal. I'm currently looking at the following USED cars under $25K in order of preference:

-Acura TL 2005
I really like the Acura TLs. The only thing that's bothering me is that new generation TL models will be out fall of 2008.

- Nissan Z 2005
Looks like a nice affordable sports car.

- Mazda RX8 2005
Again a very nice affordable sports car.


I'm also looking at the NEW 2008 models of:

- Honda Accord Coupe 2008 (under $25K brand new)
Will be out next month. I saw some online pics... they have totally revamped the coupe, looks a lot like those Audi coupes. But it's an Accord... but it can be bought brand NEW whereas the TL has to be USED in the same price range.


- Benz C 300 Sport 2008 ($38K brand new out the door)
This is out of my budget. I test drove it... I just adore the new AMG inspired body style it has... especially the front of the car. I don't know if it's going to be worth it or not...

So today me and my fiance got into this incredibly ridiculous argument over whether or not airplanes have headlights. He says that they have forward facing lights to make sure they don't fly into other airplanes or mountains. I say thats silly; they have high tech equipment to tell them how high up they are and they know when mountains are coming.. He laughs and say that "do you think they have sonar that pings and tells them when something is coming?? They have headlights!" I think he is confusing white landing lights with "headlights" and that there isn't a forward facing light to help guide pilots.


So who's right?.. I tried looking online but I think I just found sights with people also confusing landing lights with headlights.

Hello again,

Has anyone used or heard of SP performance rotors for their infiniti FX35?
I was learning towards the stillen replacement rotors untill I was told that SP rotors look and perform better and are cheaper.
They also say that SP rotors are specially drilled with no sharp edge so there's less chance of warping.
Let me know any info about these rotors.

Thanx

I have a 2001 Grand AM GT and the car will start and then die almost immediately. Both the security and the service vehicle soon lights are on solid (not blinking). I've tried resetting by having the key on for 1o minutes and disconnecting the battery. Is there a way I can find out if the BCM is the problem?
