I've been to plenty of gas stations looking for air pumps and it seems like nobody has them. The one gas station I found with one has been broken for over a week. I need like 10 psi in all my tires so any advice is helpful.

Hey guys. I have a chinese made atv and front tires get punctured like every 3weeks. I'm a bit tired of it so someone suggested that I buy a tubeinto them(they're tubeless right now). I just wonder if it is a good idea. Thanks.

if it is a single car accident on slippery road and hit the lamppost and claim on your own car insurance because you can not claim whiplash on your own car insurance

I went to Glossop the other day and to my surprise in order to use the pay and display car park, drivers had to enter their car registration number to get a ticket. I really didn't like that and drove off to find another spot without such silly regulation. I wonder if anyone else disaproves at such level of control? Or perhaps you don't see a problem at all with this...? Your thoughts and feelings on this subject please.

I have a 1995 Ford Contour GL with a 2.0 liter engine and i was wondering if anyone would know what would make the check engine light come on out of the blue. Its been doing it for 2 days. It turns on and then off. about twice a day. and then yesterday about noon. The check engine light came on and I thought I smelled anti-Freeze and then half way home the light turned off. and then it turned on again going to the gas station then it turned off again. So if u would know what could be making that light come on please let me know thank you.

I can't find any specific info online as to what size/amps would be best for my particular application. The battery would only be used to power the 12v trolling motor for several hours at a time.

While on the highway you have slow lanes and fast lanes.The speed limit is 60 .police officers issue tickets to speeders.I understand you can get a ticket going even just 5 miles over. Is the fast lane designed for those to break the law and go way over the speed limit ? to use the fast lane how fast is fast legally for you to be traveling in it legal? What speed are you requiered to do if you go in the fast lane? Say for one reason or another I had to be in the fast lane .Say while in the fast lane. One driver is doing 25 miles per hour over.I'm doing 10 miles per hour over .Theres an accident the 25 miles per hour drivers claimes i caused the accident because i was driving to slow. who's at fault? Also say what if i was doing the speed limit in the fast lane. If the speed limit is 60 how fast is fast with out breaking the law for you to travel in the fast lane?

It is apparent that a larger gas tank may not be placed on a car since the added weight may decrease overall mileage. I'm sure that car makers take this into account, but in the event that the benefits of a larger gas tank will not influence overall mileage, why not? Why not install a huge gas tank that will allow a vehicle to travel 1000 miles? This is besides the point, though.

..... Okay so I've heard that federal or state law does not allow for this because they do not want us to be able to travel beyond a certain amount of miles on one gas tank. I tried searching for this with no avail. Perhaps it's a myth?

I've got a 99 Dodge Stratus, and the back speakers won't work. To check if the problem is in the speakers (they are both wired on the left channel for some strange reason, so it could be a break in the wire along the way). Anyways, I was going to put the wires from one of the front speakers onto the outputs for the rear speakers, but I can't get the wires out of the harness. How do I get them out?

My parents were going to buy me a car as a grad present and got a decent job offer already...i figure i can afford a 25K car....figured shoot for 40 ish.
Anyways, i wanted the 350Z nismo and my parents agreed until they found out it was rear wheel drive and then freaked out. Said it won't move in snow....and will fly off the road in rain. I live in central PA right now. Most northern job offer is D.C. I figure they get snow, but not as much as here.
I know rear wheel isn't the best with snow....but is it that bad with snow / rain.

The dealer would have to special order it too and was trying to convince us to get a car they had on the lot instead and was talking about how horrible the nismo is.

My dad cites that his van is rear wheel drive (1980 chevy) and it won't move in snow as the number one reason...mixed with the dealer saying the car is bad. Not sure if the dealer just exaggerated so we'd buy one of the cars he already had...or if my parents are over reacting

I suppose they put antennas on top, and scouting pods near the top. But why do they have more than one? And why are they so massive in some ships? Certainly not using them for sails!

I currently work for the Union Pacific railroad, I don’t completely understand the 2-tiered railroad retirement system. Can anyone help better explain it to me. The only people I can talk to work under the old Southern Pacific agreement and fall under TPA. My question is this:
If I work for 30 years and retire exactly at 60 years of age and never make more than 50k a year what should my retirement look like per month or yearly. I know it goes off my 3 best years but that doesn’t really help me much. Also do any of you know what the average retirement for a conductor is? (I am a conductor)
Thank you very much for your time and answers.

I just bought a car and the title has a mistake on it that the seller made. I have the notorization paper with me but do I need to get the seller's signature on it showing it was his mistake? The thing is I can't get a hold of this guy easily, and nobody (i.e. bank, insurance agency, rmv) is telling me a straight story of what I need to do on this notorization form. Thank you for your time!!
