Cars & Transportation - 13 October 2007

I'm thinking of buying a Carolina Skiff 16 boat. I would like to hear from some boaters of what they think of them. My cost will be--and this is out the door $1589.00. Anything you can tell me will be a big help.

I have a 1990 model car. I always take note of the temperature gauge before stopping the engine from a long drive, but as soon as i switch on the ignition key (without starting the engine), like after a minute or two, i notice that the gauge reads a lot higher than when i previously switched the engine off. I am at a loss because a friend told me, that as soon as you stop the engine the tendency is that the engine will immediately cool down. And that there is no way that the reading should go "up" , even when you turn the key on without starting the engine.
Should this really happen or do i have to buy a new set of temperature gauge?

Just wonder before I buy, thanks, and if anyone knows how fast this would be compared to a older 10hp outboard that would be great. I'm kind of concerned about it.

The leak started yesterday. I cannot see exactly where the leak is coming from however the coolant is running down right beside the water pump. I just cannot see where it is.

I just bought a CBR600RR and the shop owner told me it is a 2008 model. The whole bike is PURE black in colour, different from both the 2007-black/silver and 2008-graffiti design posted on the offical website. So how do I know I am not cheated by them?

Once I was sitting in my car and waiting for someone in a parking lot. A guy pulls up next to my car, opens his door and hits and dents my car on the passenger side (he did not see I was inside my car so I guess he felt free to be reckless or something!). When he did finally notice me he went back into his car as though I hadn't heard the loud noise and as though I were dumb! What would you have done?
I would like to buy a newer car but, actually, my current car has had quite a few similar, bad experiences in parking lots. Are there only idiots out there? Do you have any suggestions? Would police show up for something this "minor"?

hi everybody.
my car is an old bmw 525 tds(turbo diesel ).
the automatic transmission is a zf 5 hp18.
my problem is:
when i put the trans.in drive , the car will not accelerate normally from a start in first gear
it moves slowly just like the brakes were applied at the same time i accelerate.
the car drags,and the engine does not rev up...
then second shifts and it's ok...
when i put the selector in reverse,there is no problem at all...
what may be the solution?
thank you for your attention.
mike

I am not acepting the amount from a total loss for my vehicle and have been told by Geico that they are regulated by the state. so what agency is that and how do I contct them. Geico has been very uncooperative and down right unfair. The adjuster gives us one number and then the senior adjustor gives us another and when they are told about it they play dumb. and do not know why the other has done that.
Our vehicle has a resale value of 5500.00 and Geico is saying they will only give us 1800.00

I ride a “Trek Madone 4.5 WSD” road bicycle. Last year, I rode 4563 miles. She is a 50 cm carbon frame, with a Shimano 105 50/39/30 crank / Shimano 105 12-27, 10-speed cassette.
This might be a bit silly, as I enjoy pedaling; I often choose to try to keep up with my friends while they drive their cars. This is the best option, especially since I’m the only cyclist in the group. So, every time we have an outing, they will drive and I’ll ride.
As long as I could keep up with my friends’ cars, I would try to stay in line with them. Would it be possible to draft off from their cars?
