Cars & Transportation - 2 November 2007

On a Friday, Saturday and Sunday night i deliver Pizza's for a well known company and i am amazed at the stupidity i see on the roads. I was out on my first delivery at about 7.10 last night (so it was dark) and low and behold some one over took me doing about 50-60mph with no lights on!!!! i followed them and flashed my main beams until they turned their lights on. How can people do this???

Please provide the anwer and where you got it.

Also, if it dosen't have these three features how much would it cost to have it put in?

There is no drivers manual , no signs in most places and drivers drive or point their car at destination and simply blow horn with seemingly to get others out of their way . Can you expound on this ?

I just had two 5 1/4 infinity speakers installed in both car doors at best buy yesterday. As I got home from work today I rolled up the drivers side window(electric) and at the same time my new drivers side speaker went dead. My car is a '84 bmw and if any of you car audio geniuses could give me some kind of idea what happened you'll forever be the man in my book.

I have a warranty service issue with a Dodge dealer. I've asked to be put in contact with the zone manager but they have refused that request. The Chrysler "help" line number also refuses to initiate a case number. My car is not fixed and I've paid them an extraordinary amount of money. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

In Singapore, the public transports are:

(1) Bus -
a. Payment by Cash
You need to use the exact amount, as no change will be issued.

b. Payment by ez-link Card (stored-value card)
To top up the Ezlink Card, you can do so at any TransitLink Ticket Office. The minimum top-up value is $10, while the maximum stored value allowed is $100. You can also top up your card using cash or NETS at Add Value Machines and General Ticketing Machines (GTMs) in MRT stations and bus interchanges.

(2) MRT (Mass Rapid Transit) / LRT (Light Rail Transit)
- Only use ez-link Card.

(3) Taxi
- We use cash or Credit Card.

Today i was on the 405 south going to school and then a lady from New Jersey, [i saw from her plates] was on the middle lane. she was going 5 miles per hour while the traffic was going 25 mph. she was behind me and moved to the front of my car. she was putting on eye makeup. i like makeup as much as the next girl but come on; there were NO COPs to pull her over and tell her that that was wrong.

Do you think rules should be passed to make CA highways better for everyone with more police makeing sure people are driving and not putting on makeup, [or reading a newspaper, yeah i saw that guy too]

what is the weirdest thing someone did int he freeway that you saw them doing. do you ever do that?

Car: 1971 Plymouth Duster, Slant 6

Symptoms: I pulled off the freeway one night, and as I was coming to a stop, the engine stalled. It started up after sort of a struggle.

The car ran fine for a few more days. I thought it just needed a tune up.

Then, the car started stalling and running rough, then stalled and I couldn't start it.

I thought it was the fuel pump, so I replaced it. That wasn't the problem; the carburetor is getting gas.

I dumped a few cap fulls of gas down the carburetor and the engine doesn't turn over.

My God! What could be the problem?

The previos owner kept a bra on it, but it's pretty worn out. I've taken the bra off, and the paint underneath is horrible. The paint elsewhere on the car is great. She had it waxed monthly!! I think the car looked TONS better with the bra. But I need a new one. Where do I get a Quality bra that's affordable?

Should I but the buell big bore kit on my 883 and do some custom work on the sporty, like chroming frame, and other show bike stuff or should I just wait till spring and upgrade to a Dyna? I commute a lot and 70% is highway travel. I get a lot of wind gust in the open midwest highways. Besides wanting more ponies, I want to know if the heavier bike will highway travel better. A veterans opinion would be appreciated...

My son was backing out of his parking space at school. He watched another car drive thru the parking lot behind him before he started to back up. This other car stopped in the driving lane as the traffic started to back up. When the other car was clear and out of the way my son started to back out of his space to get in line. As he was already back out part way the other car decided to put his car in reverse and back up into the side of me sons car. The ins. ruled it no fault but I'm not accepting this. This would mean I could drive thru a parking lot and pick out a car that was backing out, stop and reverse and hit them and it's no fault. What's your opinion?

I'm trying to find out the name of this car i saw during the week and it looks really awesome. I didn't manage to get the name of the back though, although i know it is an old style car, it is very long and low, but NOT a lowrider. It started with a p and was something like "Parisenne" or something. Could you please provide pics with your answer so i can verify if it is the right car. P.S first right answer gets best answer.
