My partner is going to buy a classic car. He knows that the older the car the less road tax he will pay, but not exactly how much. Is there a site that will give me this information, or is there anyone out there that can tell me?. Thankyou in advance

Just brought a new 2007 Ninja 250, the engine oil level was fine when they delivered it. After riding it at low speed (15 mph, still learning) for about 20 mile, i noticed the engine oil is completed gone from the little glass window thing. So i brought some Castrol 10W-40 and added about 1.25 qt, the level was fine. Just rode the thing for maybe another 30 mile and the oil level is below min line again. There's no leakage from what I can tell, is this normal? Does a new bike just soke up engine oil?

I was driving it fine earlier. Parked it and left, using it and the reverse worked fine. When I noticed when I got home, i tried shifting it into reverse, it wouldn't do anything. It was like there was never a reverse. Its a 1986 MR2. All the other gears work fine. I can shift into 1st - 5th, just not reverse. Need help ASAP. I need this car for school

Is it Ok to laugh at the car in front of you when they get pulled over for speeding, if you were going the same speed?

its like saying a car that needs to go on the freeway needs to run high rpms for the whole trip, why cant they just fit a tranny in it? im fully aware also about the fixed vs variable pitch props, but i want to know about a transmission wouldnt it simply be mor efficient to run low rpms like cars and save gas by not putting such loads on an engine? i know its not done for a reason but.. could it be done?

Why are the old supercar engines (e.g. Lamborghini Miura v12 engine) slower compared to maybe a Lamborghini Gallardo which is only a v10 engine? thanks for any insights!

Ok, so I put a down payment of $2,500.00 in a check form, on a car that's under my soon to be ex-husband's name, did a stop payment on the check, and now the dealer is calling my ex-husband saying that if I, myself don't come up with the $2,500.00 by Monday, they can have me arrested. Is this true? Even if the car isn't under my name?

Would putting shorty headers and dual exhaust on my 76' 350 nova make it sound a lot louder to the point where it would be hard to have a convo in my car while on the freeway? My dad keeps telling me that its going to be too loud with headers on, is he just trying to scare me or is it true? Right now my car isnt "very" loud, I mean you can hear it coming but it has a nice "bom bom bom" sound, but I want headers so it will perform better.

I put deposit down because dealer offered the best deal and promised me that i can get the car within a week. But they are keep changing the date and I can't deal with them anymore so I wanted to cancel the purchase but they wouldn't let me have the deposit back, they are keep saying they are not giving me the money back. I did not get a vin number because the car was not located in the store at the time of signing the paper. HOWEVER, they never gave me a copy of papers that I signed, only thing they gave me is a receipt of deposit. I paid deposit in cash.. Car is not in the store yet because it's coming from different state. This dealership is located in Mass. am I gonna be able to get the deposit back?.. I put too much deposit, so I can't just lose that money..

From waht i read your are supposed to stop completly at a stop sign for three seconds , enough time to look around in the mirrors so you can go.Then why do I get honked at or why do people go around me for following the rules?

Any distinction would be great- especially if you could throw in things like drive, boulevard, road and-my personal favourite- mews.

I get cul-de-sac, but after that it's a write off.
