if veteran riders speak this highly of the "ninjette", why do beginning riders pas it over, not even considering it for a first bike?

If a car has about 70k or more on mileage, what can I do to make it better? Do I have to change the engine or change different parts? Cause any part in a car is replaceable. What makes a component in a car makes the high mileage bad?

A few days ago (9/5/07) I went into the Wal-mart in Albuquerque,NM for a oil change. Well while they were doing a oil change I notice the service tech putting in 7qts of oil in my 95'Jeep Grande Cheeoke(Straght 6/ 4.0L). I went in the tec bay and asked him what the hell he was doing? He claimed that the dip stick showed that it still needed another qt. Well after aruging with the them over twenty min to take out one qt.I finnly had enought and paid for a oil change with extra oil. Well to make along story shorter. I still have seven qts of oil in my six qt engine. I have driven about four hundred mile and have to drive another 50 to the dealer to get another oil change. Besides another oil change what should I ask the the dealer to do. Should the dealer do to a compression test or what.? On the second question I now know the answer. ONE IS TO MANY!!! DONT LET WAL-MART CLOSE TO YOUR F****** CAR, TRUCK, OR SUV.

I am a single guy with a big dog that I bring everywhere. I'm looking for a decent car that's under 28k and will be comfortable for my dog, especially as he gets older.

I don't like SUVs. For one thing, they're hard for older dogs to get into since the tailgate is up so high. I want something the dog can just walk into on his own and then have plenty of space to lay down. I know the Honda Element could work for this purpose, but I don't find it all that comfortable. Any other ideas?

My 1997 Chevy blazer has just had a rebuilt tranny and when its cold it runs great for about 15-20 minutes, it shifts like new 1,2,3,4. smooth as glass. After it gets warm the check engine light comes on and I only have 2nd and 3rd and I have to shift to 2nd manually. now i have been told I need a transmission control solenoid, I have also been told that I just need to flash the computer and reset the codes, I have also been told it could also be a relay. Ok I'm sure all valid remedies I just need to know which is the most likely and still allows me to eat!!!
I posted this question b-4 just not in detail like this (sorry guys)
but I need help. If this helps it is a 2 door 4wd 4.3 ltr W/ac. some body save me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have a 2004 Cavalier and bought it from a dealer about 3 months ago. Everything has been running perfect. Then during a traffic jam my car began to kick a little when I stepped on the gas and then stalled completely. I put the car in neutral and started it again without a problem.
The oil light went on when it stalled.
Anyone have any ideas?

I installed a NEW starter in an 89 cherokee. I turn the key and not a sound from the starter. It seated properly and the 2 wires are tight. Is it possible for the teeth to be missaligned even though it seated, and wouldnt I at least hear it scream. Or is the solenoid my likely culprit.?
Thank you

Auto 90 camaro rs, swapped the FI 305 for a new carb 355(bored 30 over)(didn't have money for FI). All of the following symptoms have been getting worse and worse over the last 2-3 weeks. Car runs fine when started up for the first time of the day, but will only run well for about 10 min. and then, car constantly stalls out and dies, loss of power, oil pressure drops, I have a small oil leak(can't tell where it's coming from), I can rev the car in park perfectly fine, but will constantly stall in drive, when it starts to stall I can throw it in neutral and sometimes bring it out of the stall, but doesn't always want to rev up in neutral, when ever I make a sharp turn something under the hood squeaks(does it the most when turning left). Sometimes when the car dies it won't even try to start, fan will come on but thats it, after waiting about 10 min. it will start right up. I replaced fuel filter, all vacuum lines are connected as far as I can tell, pcv valve is connected.

The boat needs work on the floor. It needs seats, a gas tank and some work will need to be done with the steering and shifters. It is a classic and could look awesome if it was restored. The motor runs well.
