Cars & Transportation - 5 October 2007

My Yamaha FZ6 isnot a bike thats designed for any passenger on the back, the seat is too small and the suspension is limited to a certain weight.
So when some overweight fat woman asks me to take her for a ride I tell her "NO" this bike can't handle any passenger, then her feelings gets hurt and she tells her friends I said she's too fat, then everybody is mad at me!
Whats a better excuse i could use without hurting her feelings?

I only recently bought my car and yesterday was my first day of driving it. My father noticed a noise when I take my foot off the clutch fully, a knocking noise is the best way that I can think to describe it. The car has recently had a new battery, alternator and timing belt though so could these need to settle in or something? Apart from that its really good, it was lovely and smooth on the motorway when my father drove it back so no complaints there. Any ideas? Thanks!

Local garage said NO use transmission oil
Shop : only has manual castrol 80W or castrol SMX-S transmission oil.

So how came the manual sais viscosity 40 yet you can only buy 80... there is a huge difference there in viscosity so what should i use and most important why is it safe to use 80 when manual sais 40 viscosity

Hi, Im looking to purchase a new car, but need some help.
My old cars engine has just blown up and no point in fixing it as it will cost more than the cars actually worth.

Im looking to buy something which is 1.4 or 1.6, £2000-£3000 spending limit, This will be my second car. Im looking for something a bit sporty! but not too sporty, Like a tigra or puma, Must have 4 or 5 seats!something that is relliable, as i have been told that the tigra is more likely to go wrong compared to the puma. I would like something around 1999 upwards.
I dont mind the corsa 2000 edition. I dont like things like a clio. Anyone shed any light on my new car>? thanks

I'm getting a short-short-short-long blinking sequence on my brake warning light indicator. Is that a code and if so what does it mean? Does it mean there is danger in driving it?

No matter how much we say don't drink and drive people will do it. I think we need to make the public really aware of how distracted they really are. I am thinking of putting a website up but wanted to see what people thought. If you are going to do it, how about do it as safely as possible. I think it is better to get the information on safe DUI driving than to turn our heads and just say don't.

I left home at noon yesterday to go to the bus station. Arrive in Boston at 7:30 pm. The train station is just a couple hundred feet away, but the train doesn't leave until noon today. It will take three days to get to Portland Oregon. I could have been there hours ago for almost the same price, but its raining there and I'm in no rush.

Okay after I first got my 90 Seville I first just put 20% tint on the car. At the time it was great, but over time it just didnt feel dark enough for me and I was never pulled over, so I got 15% all across, again the first month I felt I was looking cool again, but then again, it just wasnt dark enough for me! and I still havent gotten pulled. So this is my plan, I am planning to get a 00-03 Deville soon anyways but on this Car I plan to go all the way out, I mean 5% tint on the side windows and rear window and I am also going to get the windshield tinted. I am considering 20% on the windshield to make a serious killer looking effect of deep dark throughout the car, but then again I want to be able to see where Im driving, I can imagine that being hell at night especially in rain. But a guy at my school has a Charger and his tint is so dark you cant see in the car AT ALL even the windshield looks like it has 5% across the entire thing! to me that just looks sick, yall dont thinkso?

The service engine soon light of my car was on, then I took it to an auto repair they said it would cost 85 dollars to make the diagnosis(about 1 hour labor). But after 1 hour they said there were 2 error codes and they could only identify one of them, for the other code the problem was rather complicated and rare and they needed to tear down the engine to figure out what the problem was and it still needed 2 more hours, the total cost for making the diagnosis of the service engine soon light was 260 bucks. Is it normal for them to do so? could it be possible that they made simple problems sound serious to collect more money? How can I tell if they are doing the right thing?
