I have a 2000 ford taurus with 125000 miles. Someone told me that the average life span of a ford taurus was 130,000... sooo I was just wondering how many miles do you have or had on your ford taurus before it died.

Looking to replace my F350 dump and F250 pickup for one truck setup. I work masonry and would like to eliminate both trucks for an F450 with a pick bed and gooseneck dump trailer. I've never towed a gooseneck but have plenty of hitch balls. Is the gooseneck easier? Will be in some tight places at times???


Thanks

I just brough a honda prelude 99, ac doesn't work. I turn on the car and the ac seem not to be engaged. I though it would be the fuse, but can't seem to find the location of the fuse. Does anybody know where the exactly location of the fuse for the ac compressor. I checked the fuse box on the side of the motor but didn't see anything that say fuse for ac, unless it was name something else. Any body know what would slove this problem.

I was turning left on a straight green light at an intersection. I couldn't see any cars going the other way because there were cars in the turn lane on the opposite side blocking my view. So I turned left and then all of a sudden, a car is in front of me and I swerve to avoid it on my bike, but I hit it anyway. The other person driving had the right of way. I dented her car and there were a few scratches. My bike's front wheel was completely mangled and I need to replace the frame. Who pays for her car? Do I? I have no insurance at all. I was riding a bike. Does her insurance pay for everything, or do I have to pay? I know that in Washington, even if it was the biker's fault, the person who is driving the car's insurance company pays. What is the policy in California? (Remember: I'm riding a bike. She is driving a car. She could have easily squashed me and killed me. 3000 lbs to 100-200 lbs.?) Professional opinion would be great!

Some reason my car died over night. I made a topic about this before, because my battery amp light came on a few times, but went out, sometimes it stayed on, but other times it blinked. Anyways today it finally told me I should have payed attention to it, because the car was completely dead. It was running fine last night, that warning light didn't come on once. Now the dome light doesn't work, nothing on it works. I was thinking it might be the alternator, but that just charges battery when the engine is running so what else could have caused this? I was pretty sure all the lights inside were off, I'm thinking maybe the glove box light was on or doesn't go off when the little door is closed?

Mercury Grand Marquis 1986. Battery is only a year old.

Or maybe you already have one and what's it's name?

Mine would be son of a son of a sailor.

Just looking for the cheapest one. Since https://www.teendrivingcourse.com/ lowers their price based on competitors prices, I am looking to lower their price. I live in laguna niguel, california. If you think there is a better course than teendrivingcourse, then please tell me.

Thanks in advance.

Hi dear friends, a few weeks ago, someone used my car to jump start his car. Since then, I am having problem starting my car. When I turn the key to start, it only clicks, I keep trying and it keeps clicking until it starts finally. Could you please help me figure out what the problem may be and how I should be able to fix it myself without taking it to a garage, thank you very much in advance for your help. Sincerely, Rojin

I rented a car for a friend, with my credit card, and he returned the car last night without paying. He told me today that he would not have the money to pay for the car for a couple of weeks. What can happen to me and/or my account? What kind of trouble can I be in if I don't have the money to cover this?

The Hawker Tempest was the fastest piston powered airplane ever made, it had a sleeve valve engine. It was made obsolete, by the Me 262 and other jet engined fighters, But it's engine was the ultimate piston aircraft engine. Then piston engines became something for inexpensive planes, but why has the sleeve valve not undergone further development as a sports car engine?

I pulled codes on it from the ignition switch and got a code P0700 (the same thing Auto Zone told me the other night). What does this mean and how to fix? By the way - the is the same van that had the speedometer dial stuck backwards a few weeks ago - it did it again a couple of days before the light went on. I also noticed that when I push on the brake pedal I hear noise from the pedal itself.

The paint has been eaten in those spots. How do I recoup the $ damage to my paint? How long should the claims process drag on for? Lastly, do you recommend I get an estimate or two first (entire paint job or just the spots)? Thanks
