I'm am looking for an entry-level seaworthy inflatable that can either be towed by a 4 cylinder car or stowed away. I'm looking for something rock-solid that I can use inland around Southern California to cruise around on and use as a dive boat to get into coves.

What would be some good choices? Size? Engine? Are there any that are good enough to make the trek over to Catalina Island for the day? I've known people to take Jetskis over there.. What about an inflatable or RIB on a decent day??

Also.. What would I expect to pick one up for used in good condition?

I been using my bike for transportation for years and years. Most of the times gets me where I needed to go. There so many advatages using a bike over any motorize vehicle. But when it comes distances (100 miles) or carrying stuffs like a piano, it be another thing. I very seldom use it for sports.

I just bought a 1990 Mercury Topaz and it has several problems, one is that the front two windows don't work but the back two do, and when you click the button you can hear the motor trying to work, i checked the fuse box but it's good. The other is that the turning signals don't blink, they'll turn on but won't blink, i checked the bulbs and they are good, if anyone could help me out that'd be great

I'm trying to change my air filter in my car and it's a tight fit. If it's not positioned exactly correct, could it do damage to the engine and cause check engine light to come on?

I was also told struts are fine (don't need to be replaced yet)...just something needs to be tightened on them...

Can anyone else give me some information on what any of this vague information means?

Okay I have a black car. Last night I thought I heard something going on outside my house. I didn't think much of it. Then I went to my car just now. I found like a big spot on my car that was yellow and it looked bubbly. I thought it was like a gigantic eagle or some sort of huge bird poop. But it was like too big of spot to be that. So I washed that area, and what remains is green stuff on my black car. Basically that yellow stuff made my car green. The same spots that the yellow stuff were, it's now green, and I can't get it out. What do you think it was? How can I get rid of it?

So it was like yellow, it was hard but you can take it off, but what remains is like green stuff that won't come off? You think someone spilled acid or some chemicals on purpose to my car. I think I know who it might be. Might have gone with a friend to do it.

I get a knocking noise when I back up and make sharp turns. It only seems to be in the front right part of my car. The car place replaced the steering rings (if that is what they are called) and the steering rack. It helped but the problem still comes back. Any other advice?

I have a '83 KZ750 motorcycle. I just discovered today that the wire brush on my dremel can polish the engine block; it actually makes the engine block bright and shiny. Is this a bad idea? Will my engine block rust? Am I removing some protective coating? What's the engine block made of, anyway?

It looks pretty good, btw.

I'm seriously thinking on buying a used bmw 525i, however I need some advice on people who actually purchased one. What is the best way I can get a good deal for a 525i with low miles, also what price would I be looking at? I've never actually stopped by a dealer to look at the prices, and figured this would be helpful to me.

for example, a 525i with atleast 30,000 how much would it cost? Also how much insurance be?

I'm 20 but, have good driving record, great credit history, anything else I left could help. So yea anyway thanks in advance?

This is a stupid problem, but maybe someone knows the answer. My '06 V70 wagon flashes a problem on the LCD readout about twice a month that "gas cap is off/loose". Obviously, I looked, and the cap was fully on (clicked). One time (and only one time) the fault lit the check engine light. I've taken it to two dealers, and both pressure tested the tank, and tested the cap. They both told me that basically I was an idiot, and didn't know how to close the cap. Maybe I don't know how to close a Volvo cap, but it seems to that after you fuel the car, you rotate the cap in a clockwise position, until it starts to click, and just give it another 180 degree. The warning from the display never appeared after fueling - typically about a half tank used.
