What is the optimum spacing between catamaran hulls and how do you determine this?If the spacing is decreased from this distance then what is the effect on the amount of power required to drive the hull? Also, if the spacing is at optimum could I use a bow thruster effectively? Thankyou.

Then this other noise started to happen couple days after. It only makes the noise when im going at slow speed 30 miles n hour n below. It also comes from the left side fo the vechicle. It makes a werid squeaky noise like a old wheel barral. I can put it in nuetral and just roll and it still will make the noise. Its worse if im going over bumps or if im jerky my car around.. It sounds like to me its not coming from the engine like maybe somthing Underneth But Im not 100%. I know I should get it check but I was thinking maybe someone here can help me and I can go look formyself to save me some money. Thank you.

I'm being driven crazy by airy-fairy 'state-of-the-art' products that cost an absolute fortune and last about 30 seconds. I just want clean wheels.
Anybody out there with some top tips for a show-time finish without breaking my back, my nails or the bank?

Let's say you're making a left turn at a green light (not a green arrow). Should you pull out passed the stop line to yield to oncoming traffic or should you wait behind the line? When I'm driving with my dad, he tells me to pull passed the line so I can turn when the oncoming traffic stops for a red light. That way at least one car will turn left each green light. Just about everybody I see pulls passed the line. When I was driving with my driver's education teacher, he said not to pull out because it's against the law. I'm taking my road test in a few days and need to know if my dad is right or if my teacher is right. I don't want to fail my test just because I do what everyone else does. Thanks.

My husband has a 2007 Ford Focus...and I'm fine with that. I was just wondering if there was anything better out there? I'm going to be buying my own car soon and we are in the midst of trying to get pregnant. I've heard the Volkswagens are good...is this true? Thanks!

Is there a product that you have used to clean and shine your car interior that you like? It would be good if there was one that I could wipe on the gear shifter, steering wheel, everywhere.

Thanks a lot,

I haven't had lessons from end of 05 - had a crash while was in private practice and 12 days before my actual driving test, failed twice miserably and left it there.

but now I want to tackle this damn thing and get it over and done with.
I'll do anything to pass my driving test and basically I want some advise or manuals / publications etc which can make me pass.

while ur still reading I am also trying to combine my professional tuition with private practice do you think it is a good idea.

I put my car up for collateral for my fiance's motorcycle. Now the only thing I own on my own is tied up under his name. I hate my car now and want to trade it in. But if i do, it will pay off his loan instead of helping me buy a car. Is there anyway to get my title off his loan before pay off?

My car has a bunch of break dust built up on the rims and I can't get it off with conventional soap and water. It's only a problem visually, but I would like the rims to be clean. They are aluminum alloy. I don't want to use a chemical that will damage the rim. Just wondering if anyone had success with a specific cleaning agent any help is appreciated.
