Now i cant lower my window nor can the back door open. I really want it fixed but my parents are saying it would be a waste of money. What do you guys think?

My husband and I were having a pondering session about if a motorcyclist hit a squirrel whet would happen and he said that the squirrel would get squiched and not much else. So then I asked him if a cyclist hit a raccoon and he said that the cyclist would not wipe out and I am convinced that a raccoon would make the bike and the biker flip and completely wipe out. Please help us with this delama (sp). I think that the bike would loos comlete control and either flip wheels over head or wobble uncontrolably, and he says that he would just keep on going. I reference this at speeds of about 45-65 mph.

I need a large trunk that could fit 5 big things in it – like big hanging punching bags…or something like that, maybe 6 feet long and weighing about 200 pounds each, give or take. Something vinyl or maybe a plastic lining in the trunk would be best.
Need something with plenty room that won't break with the extra 1000 pounds in the trunk. I need something that don't look like I got a bunch of stuff in the trunk too.

And I need it within 2 hours – I got cash no problem. What can I get like this in the Atlantic City area?

They are the ones that were recalled by Ford and Firestone about 7-8 years ago...you know the ones that would fall apart while driving and send your car into a barrell roll. Well my question is...can I get money from Firestone still? They are brand new and never used, but Firestone only offered refunds on 4 tires. So I got my 4 tires replaced but I also had 2 others. What can I do? Should I contact Firestone and see if they will give me a credit?

I had a car accident, actually I ran over a deer on the freeway on Friday. I'm 20yrs old. I was driving my mother in law's car but am not on the policy. Since the car is undrivable I will have to rent a car. I already made the claim to the insurance company and they said that the policy covers a rental car up to $35.00 per day. What are some good rental car companies that will let me rent the car? What is the process in doing this?
Do I go up to the rental car company and show them the insurance policy and give them my claim number? Would I have to pay out of my pocket and then the insurance company will reimburse? Does anyone know?

the car was fine one minute and the next it started sqeaking and would no longer accelerate. It smelt like burnt rubber and then the smoke started coming from the hood. i started the engine about 20 minutes later and it still sounded like it was working really hard and it began once again to smell like burnt rubber.

I was in a car accident no police report was filed. It was not my car and I don't have insurance, however the owner of the car does. So what is the statue for filing a police report. Also am I still responsible for the damages even though I wasn't at fault and might not be covered on the car insurance.

the cambelt has broken on my 1989 bmw 318i. i have taken the cylinder head off and all the valves are currently clear of the path of the pistons. i cannot turn the cam pully by hand, and im wondering if the cam, being so stiff could have stopped spinning immediatley when the belt broke? ( at about 1500-2000 revs.)
also, there is no markings on the carbon deposits on the pistons or valves. could i have damaged the valves without leaving any obvious signs?
any good input would be greatly appreciated!

This was a six car accident and I was car number five. Most of the cars were towed away and no one was seriously injured or treated at the scene. The accident took place in 2005.
