I have not yet spoken with the other person's insurance company, nor have i admitted to being at fault. Should I just wait until the insurance company takes me to court like my mother says?

Back in the day, my mom told me you should not bring a battery in to charge it because if it can explode. The acid in it if the battery is faulty can explode it, is this true?

My dad just bought a motorcycle so I'm thinking of getting him a gift based on that. I don't really know what to get him though!

i think they are officially called "VW micro buses" and i'm looking for one that works. and i can buy it at a reasonable price. it would be cool if it actually WAS a hippie van (from back in the day...)

http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i219/peacesofstars/april25_5.jpg

so, where would i buy one? i tried eBay and i couldn't find one. where could i buy one online? i live in Tennessee, so if you know of a place that might have old cars somewhere around here, could you give me the info?

thanks =D

I live in a scenic part of Tucson, Arizona (Gates Pass) and we get a LOT of private plane traffic over the Pass including aerobatic planes, vintage planes, and kit planes. Although they are probably legal, more than a few seem to operate at minimum altitude and full throttle; i.e. LOUD! I would guess we have at least 5 low flyovers every Sat/Sun morning and at least 2-3 low flyovers on weekdays. You can even hear some in the shower early in the morning!

What can I do? I've contacted the FAA, the airports, the flight companies, the government, individuals, etc. What else can I do?

I bought a new PCV valve from AutoZone, and cannot seem to locate it on the vehicle. Please don't tell me it is on the rocker arm since that is what the book says and doesn't explain what it is or where it it located. This is an overhead cam engine not a carburetor type. Also, this is for a V6 engine.

I have a 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix, and when I go to start it, it starts sluggishly, like it's having trouble turning over. But here's a weird thing-- If I turn the key to
run" or wherever you usually put it to start the car, it has trouble turning over, but if I turn it to the "off" position, and start it that way, it starts like a firecracker.

Basically, from the run position, the key can turn maybe a half inch, but from the off position, maybe a couple inches, so I'm wondering why a start from the off position is working so much better. Thanks

My 1999 VW Passat wagon, four cylinder, has a flashing "check engine" light. The engine shakes the entire car and fails to develop full power. I suspect this is some sort of timing or ignition problem. Any ideas?

I looked under the car and it seems like a small drop every few seconds from a small line with a clamp on it. The line which has a small leak is located near the driver's side mid way between the driver's side tires. I can't afford to repair this fuel leak yet (until I get my next check) but was wondering if it is ok and or safe for me to drive the car around?

I got my bike the first day of this year. I have put over 10,000 miles on it since I have had it. About the only thing I don't like about this bike is that the handle bars vibrate at about 4,000 rpm. after about an hour of running my hand gets numb. I know your suppose to stop and take a break, but not much longer after I start ridding again my hand goes numb again. Does anyone have some Ideas that might work. I have heard about one that is on the bar end that you twist with your hand forward to engage it. and all you have to do is touch the throttle and it will let off. Anyone know where I can get one?

brakes wouldn't stop. He tried to swurve so he wouldn't hit the guy's car, but he hit the guy's car anyway. My brother said the sun was so bright in his eye's it was blurry to see. My brother's car hit the guy's car. The guy didn't have insurance for his car. My brother was limping from the accident, nothing was wrong with the guy's car but my brother's car was totaled. Then the guy said he had to go to the hospital cause he was hurt, but my brother was the one limping and hurt his head. My brother should've went to the hospital but he got a ride home and is still limping. He said it hurts really bad, but he won't go to the hospital. What should he do about people who lie in the accident? Should he go to the hospital? and what will they say and do? What will his insurance say about the guy not having any type of car insurance? and then going to the hospital? I need help ONLY from lawyers who knows or people who has been through the same thing and got out good.

I am looking to buy a new family car. There are four members in my family and we currently drive a minivan and desperately want to get something different. We are looking for either a full-size sedan (ford taurus, VW Passat or something like that) or a mid-size to full-size SUV. Gas mileage is also quite an important factor that must be weighed in. We want a car or SUV that is functional, stylish, and is all around safe. Our budget is about $30,000. Any suggestions? Thank you.
