Simple enough. 600cc Japanese supersport's run mid 10's. 600cc Japanese standards run mid 11's. A 1600cc Harley struggles to run 13's in the quarter mile. So with such a huge displacement advantage why they at least come close? And better yet why do they cost twice as much? And by the way a 600cc standard is just as comfortable as any non-touring Harley.

I believe I may be a car salesperson's worst nightmare.

By the time I arrive at the lot, I will already have financing lined up (through my credit union, which offered me a low rate, because my credit score is a near-perfect 796).

I know exactly what model, make and color of car I want, and plan to order from the factory because no local dealers have a car with my exact specifications. I will walk away if the dealer tries to sell me a car off their lot.

I plan to summarily & firmly reject all offers of dealer financing, as well as extras such as extended warranty, rustproofing crap, Lojack, etc,,

If the dealer makes me put a deposit on a factory-ordered car, I will, but only if the dealer guarantees (in writing) that it's fully refundable.

Furthermore, I'm a cynical, mistrustful, Edmunds-spouting jerk. I am sure the dealer won't be able to screw me, but I am wondering how they will treat me in return for my toughness?

(no offense to any car salesperson reading this)

So the timing belt broke, and left me stranded on the side of the highway today. My question is, after we replace the actual belt, do we need to set the timing? How do we do it? Is it possible to do it with out taking it to a mechanic?

No rods or anything got harmed when it broke.

It is a 1996 Hyundai Sonata.

SERIOUS ANSWERS ONLY!

Whose fault would it be if car 1 was @ a stop sign. Car 1 stopped @ the stop sign then after looking both ways and seeing it's safe to cross, car 1 crossed the intersection more than 3/4 of the way when car 2 (coming from the right) hit car 1's bumper. After car 2 hit car 1, car 1 spins and hits a parked car. Whose is at fault car 1 or car 2?

Hello,

Will running on biodiesel get you more MPG or is it just the benefit of Biodiesel being cheaper?

I saw a HUmmer H2 on eBay with a 6.6 duramax doing 28MPG I believe it was on biodiesel.

I want a 2008 Ford F250 and I want to see if I can get it on Biodiesel how many MPG will it get me?
