Cars & Transportation - 15 September 2007

hi. i have five cars parked on the parking lot of my house. they are olivian green 2004 bmw, dark green 2000 honda accord, silver 2000 honda odyssey, silver 1999 honda accord, dark green 2000 toyota rav4 and black 2007 lexus. these cars are pretty much parked the same amount of time as the other cars infront of my house. none of these cars are attacked by ants excepts for the 2007 black lexus. i dont see a single ant on any other cars except for this one. i recently bought this car brand new and wondering whats actually attracting these ants to the car. i tried washing the car everyday but still doesnt work. right after i finish washing i see ants on the roof and rear window. i believe if this situation continues, then i will start having ants inside the car and i have already seen one or two. i already called pesticide company to spray my lawn to kill the ants. my question is why are the ants only attacking the black lexus. what can i do to save my car from these ants? thank you......

The car fax report recommends that it be checked by a professional to insure there is no flood damage just because of where and when it was registered. How can I check it myself? What do I look for?

I want my cars to have those cool blue lights. Should I change the bulb or the whole lighting system? I want high performance cool blue headlights that are brighter than the stock. Please help.

It drives me nuts when people are breaking traffic laws and being rude as hell all around you, then honk and gesture at YOU as if you're the one doing something wrong!
Luckily for them I leave my gun at home, haha.

I have an Infiniti I30 and my steering wheel vibrates when I apply brakes at sppeds over 50 MPH. Had brake pads, wheel bearings and rotors replaced at Midas in February. Took it back to them and they said that a caliper was sticking. Replaced both front calipers and pads again and the problem still exists. Braking feels normal at lower speeds. Do not wanna to go back to Midas because they obviously do not want to stand behind their work and can't seem to get it right. Could someone list the possible causes of this problem before I go to a different shop and get robbed again? At least I'll have some idea of what is ridiculous or not. Thanks.

2 Questions

1. Has anyone here ever had a Ford Crown Victoria, if so how did you like it?

2. I plan on getting a Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor, and it has a spot light installed on it on the side, do you think I should pay to have it removed, or 'use it to my advantage'? (keep it on)

My 85 El Camino won't start once the engine and starter get hot. When the engine is cold the car turns on, but once i turn it off it won't do anything when i turn the key. If I wait a several hours untill its cold it will turn on. And if i wait about an hour it still won't do anything, but if I use jumper cables with another car it turns on. I have also noticed that a couple of weeks ago when I was looking under my car the starter was just hanging from the battery wires, apparently the bolts were lose and must have fallen out when driving. I have replaced the bolts since then but now everytime i try to start it (when its cold) i have to turn the key a couple of times because I can hear the starter spinning but only the starter my engine isn't cranking. So I turn the key a couple of times and usuall by the 3rd or 4th time it crank. Are these problems related? Is my starter bad? Or do i have several problems here?

I had the front wheel off today and the bearing is completely frozen. It was stiff before and now won't move at all.

The thing is that I can't feel the stiff bearing at all when riding the bike. Is it safe to ride the bike (gsxr 750) for 2-3 weeks with the bearings in this kind of shape?

I was seriously thinking about buying a Harley-Davidson XL883C Sportster, but i looked at the Honda website today and saw a slightly less powerful Honda Shadow Spirit 750 (VT750C2) for over $1000 less money.

I love the nostalgia of Harley's, and i really couldn't picture anything else, but i am a college student, and i need to save money (not that i can't afford the Harley)

What i need to know, is it worth saving money to go with the Honda (which looks relatively similar to the Harley) or should i stay true to my first true desire. will i get and extra $1000 dollars worth of enjoyment from a Harley? Basically, which is more "Bike" for the money, and which is more respected and mutually accepted by the motorcycle community? (this is my first bike)
