Cars & Transportation - 5 September 2007

My friend and I have been professional poker players for a few years. We decided we should get a mid sized yacht and sail around the world. This would work out great if we could get set up with realtime internet access so we could play poker online. I've looked around a bit but it doesnt seem like this is an option. They have satellites plans that let u do email and send OR recieve data but not really both. I dont need fast internet, just constant realtime 2-way internet!

I just recently got the thermostat on my car replaced and the guy told me that I needed a coolant level sensor because the old was bad and so he disconnected it. After a few days I kept smelling coolant and I looked for leaks under the car but I didn't see anything... After that my temperature guage has been acting wierd. It keeps moving around. One second its at the normal temp then the next its close to the hot temp. And back and forth during the whole drive. The car is not smoking and I opened the hood after driving it for a while and it seemed to be normal. (I touched a few parts) Could this have something to do with that sensor I need or is this another problem...He also flushed the coolant system out when he did the thermostat.

I accidentally pumped leaded fuel into an unleaded engine,
what will happen to my vehicle?
would one tank full off leaded fuel jeopardize the engine system?
should it be serviced over fuel extract and replacement?
what should I do to my vehicle now?

trains and trams have relatively the same track format, yet trains have junctions with parts of the track that move to alter direction of track. however trams do not have these junctions yet still are able to change direction when there are other tracks and directions to travel on.

how come these trams do not de-rail and "fall off the track" ???

Exotic supercars are like sports cars, in that their definition is based on perception. Some may consider the Infiniti G35 coupe a sports cars, other may not. I own one, and I do not consider it a sports car.

So is the Corvette an exotic supercar?

An Aston Martin V8 Vantange would be considered one, yet it's acceleration to 60 (4.9 sec) is more than that of a Z06 (3.9 sec).

Is it price? A Lotus Elise is considered an exotic supercar, costs only $60k, about $10k less than an Z06 Corvette.

So is the Corvette an exotic supercar? In my opinion...no....I think seeing a supercar should make your day better. Seeing a Zonda will do that for me...seeing a Corvette does not....

So is the Corvette an exotic supercar to you?

I pretty much know the obvious cool air intake and driving habits. But do those chips that advertise fuel efficiency actually work? What else could i purchase or do?

The public seemed to get blamed for driving uneconomic cars when the manufacturers are the one's pushing them, particularly American industrialists. I see that Ford is releasing a semi/soft SUV, more friendly 4 wheel drive not always engaged. I wonder why when obviously we are going to have to downscale our cars or face not driving, and then I see the real reason - it's £20,000. This is for a slightly bumped up Ford Focus. The profit must be big on this. Time for the government to step in. I personally want a small easy to park car with great acceleration, no need to go above 80 mph. Brilliant ride and handling, very low noise levels, very safe, very economical, fantastic adaptable internal space, very comfortable inside. Loaded with Sat Nav and all the toys. Do we get this? no it's too easy just to make cars bigger and double the price. Doe's anyone agree? Or am I on my own on this.

I want a custom made RV. Not a slide on. Is there a US company which will do this? I found one in Austraila, but it is not practicle for the US as the driver side is on the wrong side and the problem of getting it here and warranty. I want a Toyota RV on a 4x4 platform. Is it possible??

I'd say it's in fair condition with a ding or two and a few spots of rust. I really want the car, I had one in high school and I loved it! However the guy wants $3,200 for it and I paid like $350 for mine back in the day. I was just wondering if I'd be getting screwed.

About a week ago my car just quit with no warning. All the lights, air condition, and radio work so I know it's not the battery or altinater (don't know if I spelled that right). My power brakes and power steering stopped working when the car quit. There's a clanging noise, like a piston hitting a valve, coming from the enginge, which suggests that my timing is off. About how much would that cost to fix, or could it be something else.

it's annoying because it's parked right in front of my house and prevents my guests from parking conviniently.
It's been parked there since 4 days, where and how do I report this?
Thanks!

So the car said low tire pressure. but it didn't say which tire. So i went to 76 at night just now, and the guy turned on the air machine, my first time with putting air into tires. So I don't know what the heck i'm doing. I pushed that thing into the hole, and i would expect some thing to come out to tell me my psi, but it didn't. So i gave up. but i'm scared that now i've messed up that tire, it seems full, but i'm scared if i might have made it too full.

how bad is it to have a tire that is full, i'm not sure about the other tires i didn't do anything. i had this car for a month now, and it has less than 3,000 miles. like i said, my father was around to teach me about making love, and hunting, but wasn't around to teach me about cars.

I know that boats do have gearboxes that change the gear ratio, but how come they don't have transmissions with more than one gear. i assume that you don't need a transmission because there isn't alot of resistance for the propeller to turn unlike rolling resistance that you get in a car, but i would think that multiple gears would be helpful in raising the rpms of the prop and lower the engine rpm while already moving in the water. also if you know of any where to learn more about marine mechanics please let me know. thank you
