my 27yr old boyfriend (we have 3 LITTLE boys, ages 6,5 and 3) died yesterday morning at the sceen in a senseless motorcycle accident. he was speeding, not wearing a helmet. and he was drunk. I have begged him to wear his helmet over and over, and most of the time he didn't. he said he didn't like it. riding was his life. I think me and the boys came in second after his bike. so at least he died doing what he loved.
my question is.....if you were him.....would you be mad at yourself. I mean...do you think he is up in heaven kicking himself in the ***? Or do you think he would just have done it again if he had lived? I know this is a stupid question. I just wish I could ask him....was it worth it? you know?

if you died today in a motorcycle accident, would riding have still been worth it? is it worth the risk?
I AM SO FREAKING MAD AT HIM. AND SO VERY SAD TODAY. WHAT DO I TELL MY BOYS?

I need to purchase some floor mats for it, but the website I was going to order them from asks if it is a long or short wheelbase. I don't know.

I am changing heads in a 95 buick skylark and the book says I need to support the engine with a hoist type lift and adapter.Is there another way to support this from the bottom without hurting the oil pan or something else.I loosened the dog bone and the motor does fall down and needs support.This has put the project at a standstill for the moment.Thanks

My dad went through his mid life crisis & has taken my mother with him. He got a Harley five years ago and they ride all the time. Truth is, he let me ride it a few times & now I MUST have one! What is the least expensive type to get? Should I go new or used? I've seen the Softail & am in love with the body but it seems kind of pricey. Help me out Harley fans.

I'm looking to get a new car or pick up truck.
Here are some of the things that it must have:

4 wheel drive.

Decent fuel economy.

Enough space in the trunk or bed that I can haul garbage to the dump every week.

I don't care about it being super fancy or having a bunch of accessories, I just want something reliable that I can drive to work everyday and isn't going to have transmission problems or whatever else in 2 years.
I was leaning towards a pick up truck, but if it's a car with enough of a cargo area, I'll consider that too.
Any ideas?

I am 16 and can't wait until I drive. But when I am in a car and my dad switches the window wipers I have the habbit of following them back and forth.

Will this affect me when I can drive next year?
Is there any way of me not being able to follow them when in a car?

as i am in sured for the windscreen with a 60 excess they booked me in with autoglass. who then replaced the windscreen. a week later we had seriosuly heavy rain and when i went into the car i noticed a puddle of water on the passenger side just on the foot part carpet i phoned nissan the maufactuer of the car and they said does the water look a funny colour i said no and they asked if it smelt and i replied no it was just rain water they advised me to go back to autoglass to test as i explained the problem wasnt there b4 the new windscreen change. auto glass did test the vehicle couldnt find the fault they said the windscreen was sealed properly they put another brand new one and it rained a few times after that and no water came through and recently its happened again where water is coming through. auto glass advised it was the seam of the passenger side not having any sealant on it. but this problem happened after the new windscreen could any one tell me wot could be the problem.

this engine was developed at the same time as the catalyst exhaust, it gave out far less omissions, in fact ,less than government requirements for some years to come, but the politicians opted for the catalyst which has been a dismal failure.

I have a 2003 Civic Si and the dealer said to use premium fuel only. The manual says to use regular. Am I wasting money by using the 93 octane, or is it actually better for the vtec engine?
