My car has no electrical power. no radio, interior lights, and does not even try to start (crank). no power of any kind. I jump started it and went to get gas. I was able to turn off the car at maybe two places, then start it and return home. The next morning it has zero power again. I had the battery checked and it is fine. I put the battery back in the car and not even lights or any electrical power comes on. Before I assume that the movie "Signs" or War of the Worlds is true, can someone help me?

i was looking at really quick cars for my first car under $18k... i was looking at an '04-'05 wrx sti..i know its a lot of power but i think i can handle it, hopeful atleast. for about a month i'll be driving before i get my license with my parents, getting used to the power and stick.

the question in all of this is if it would be a decent first car (assuming insurance would be stupid for it) and first time stick driver..also reliability and clutch durability.

My point is, I'm thinking of building a rigid shovelhead without the headache of welding, hacking, pounding, using a file and sanding. What's your experience or nightmare?

And if you had a properly fuctioning garage with the right equipment would humidity in the air cause it to take longer... Say 2 days?

Yes I loosened the correct bolt to get it to turn but it just wouldn't budge. Does anyone have any suggestions how I could loosen my distributor to get it to turn? Please any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

My question is Why ruin a car's looks with a giant wing on the back, and if you've done it do you actually belive adding weight to your car will improve its speed. As I know a wing of that size is only effective at speeds above 190mph. Not to mention its putting weight on the rear for RWD not FWD bumper cars

Hi!. Most railroad's use pretty simple train designation/identification techniques, however, NS' baffles me. I'm a railfan and I'm creating activities for the NS Harrisburg District on MSTS, and I can't figure out how their symbolization system works. For example, I've heard of NS trains such as 17R, 12A, 21E, 112, etc..etc. I don't understand it. BNSF uses a great system, H= High-Priority manifest, S= Doublestack Intermodal, M= Manifest, etc..etc, and then an abbreviated origin and destination code.

I DO NOT need actual trains themselves, I just need to know how the symbolization works. For example, what does 'A' mean? 'W'? And why do some NS trains use 3-digit numbers, while others use the two-digit, one-letter system?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks!

This model ship has two triangular shaped sails on the bow. They are facing sideways so you can see most of them looking from the side of the ship. The next two masts have one triangle shaped sails on the top and one trapazoid shaped sail on the bottom. I think this ship is called a two masted schooner, but I'm not sure.

Is it possible(though VERY unlikely) the railroad industry will go back to how it used to be when the railroad companies had their own passenger service, and you could find a caboose at the end of every freight train?

between a 99 impreza or maxima which would you choose? maxima has a 3.0 liter V6, i'm not sure about the impreza, all i know is that it comes with a 4 cylinder engine, but i've heard that even though its just a v4 it has good performance. Maxima definately has a more luxorious side but as far as performance which would you choose?

Hey Guys,

Just earlier today I was going towards an intersection (in Oregon) when the light turned orange. I proceeded to go through the intersection, and the light turned red when I was in the intersection. I don't know exactly how far I was in, but I know for sure that my front wheels were definitely over the white "stop" line.

I think my whole car was over the white line before it turned red, but I am not positive. At worst, my back wheels may have been on the white line. I think I was probably going 37-40mph in a 35mph zone.

Does this constitute running a red light? If so, when do you usually receive the citation?
