Cars & Transportation - 26 August 2007

I own a 95 Mustang Cobra with a 5.0. For as long as I've own the car (over 4 years) I've use either Royal Purple or Mobil 1 synthetic oil. Im in the process of putting in a new cam, lifters, push rods, heads and upper/lower intake manafold. I've noticed that its recommended to use conventional oil to break in new components but I've also been told that once you start using synthetics you cant go back. What oil should i use to break in the engine?

I have noticed for a little while that while I am idle my car steering feel vibrates a little. The other day I was driving and noticed that whenever I accelrate or put my foot on the gas even a little it drove like the tires needed to be balanced very balaced (shaky rough etc). Now my malfunction indicator lamp is on which says there could be an problem with my emissions system. What does this problem sound like to you? It is a 3 yr old car with about 40,000 miles on it. Is this a serious problem? How much do you think it will cost for parts and labor. I have not had a "new" car before this one so I never had to decide whether or not to bring it to the dealership to get repaired or an auto mechanic in my area suggested by a friend. WIll the dealership rip me off?

I have a nissan altima with 88000 miles on it with the same brakes when I bought it. The tech at the service center at midas said I still have 50% of the pads left. Nissan rules.

Some people have told me it is actually a shorter route, others have told me that the routes are controlled this way to keep planes from being too far away from land if an emergency were to occur. Anybody know?

I consider myself to be a safe driver. Except when my (soon to be Ex-) wife is yelling in my ear about whatever she is irritated about at the moment and screaming at me to change lanes because i got in the wrong lane. "THE OTHER LANE IDIOT!!"

I nearly have a collision with the car to the side of me. I am so sorry for scaring them like that and causing them to be upset.

I realize the lack of a tailhook would be an issue, but if it was an STOL plane flown by an experienced pilot wouldn't it be possible?

Newly painted ships usually have many layers of paint. While the outer layer might have cured, the inner layer is still soft and therefore is venerable to fenders damage, especially when transporting the ship for the paint yard to the berth taking into account the wave and tide movement. I am looking for a solution in the fenders or fendering system part, and not the paint or hull.

Any links and ideas will be most welcome, thanks.
Josh
