Cars & Transportation - 17 August 2007

I have a 98 Dodge Ram with the extended cab, my hubby was putting the sprinklers on it while his car was safe and sound in the garage, and now I have hard water stains on the windows and the body, but I am more concerned with removing it safely off the windows since it is getting hard to see out the wondows, especially at night. I made him hlep me make a spot where I can put my truck so it will no longer get the spots, but after washing it and trying to clean the windows I realize that I need some sound advice to get it back to crisp clean shape.

This being my first year on a bike, I've noticed a lot of different trends.

Some people simply do not wave.
Some people seem to wave no matter what.
Some people won't wave to riders outside of their bike's category (sport bike riders-harley/general cruisers)


What rules do you follow?

Me:
In town, its usually more of a head.
I don't usually wave first to other sport bike riders since so many seem to ignore it. but I'll almost always give some sort of finger lift.

....this kind of thing.
Let's hear it kids

I'm so pissed. Took car in for alignment, asked if it need all 4 wheels done and he specifically told me that no, that's only on 4 wheel drive cars. So I made an appointment for front end alignment.... cost $49... all 4 would have been $75. Went to pick it up and they did all 4 anyway. Is this right? do I have a right to be pissed????

I just got a ring set for a good price and I don’t know how to install them! Do I need any special tools? I also got a gasket set.

This is the first time I have ever done something like this. Do I need to do anything to the cylinder? Someone told me I need to brush it out but with what? I don’t know!!! Also will this help the startup smoke that my ATV has? Will it give it more power & save gas and oil??? Is it kind of like rebuilding the motor?? Please help

I have specific criteria.

1) cant look cheap. (I have a ford focus right now and it looks cheap and sounds cheap when i drive it)
2) cant look too nice like with the wood on the inside etc
3) under 12,000 (try to go under 8,000 if you can)
4) cant be flashy like a red convertable.
5) In the Los Angeles Area.
6) Has good air conditioning.

I really like the 2005 nissan altima but its too expensive for me. HELP!!! and the reason i need it under that price is cuz my husband is kinda stingy.

I've been studying and reading everything about the GT500 and 500KR ever since it was produced. Its curb weight is absurd. Does Ford employ engineers? Does Ford have the money to use lighter weight materials? What is the story?

The seat belt in the 2nd Row behind the passenger seat does not retract out. All of the seat belt it out and does not go back in. No twist or anything on the seat belt.

I was backed out of a parking spot today when a lady backed out of her spot (really fast) and hit my car. We called the police and filed a report...he ruled no-fault since he couldn't prove it was her fault even though it was what he believed. We were able to fix the damage when we got home (it popped right back in). So here's my question. Do I have to call the insurance company or can I just ignore it? The lady had a small scratch on her car, nothing like ours.
