Why do police, ambulances and fire engines use different sounding sirens? The ones I can think of are the slow rising/falling wail, the much faster yelping sound and then a really fast, irritating one they do in short bursts. Also, are they controlled by the passenger?

I have a 99 mustang... the other week it wouldnt start - it just made a clicking noise. I had AAA come and jump start me then I took it straight to O'reilly's auto center where I had bought a new battery last July. They tested it and said both my battery and transmission are completely fine.
Well, today I went out to my car... it wouldn't start AGAIN. This time it didn't just click though - it tried really hard to turn over, but it wouldn't.
Any ideas? It just had a complete checkup/oil change during the summer - AFTER I got the new battery and everything was fine.
Help? Suggestions?

I was driving today and noticed a plane flying overhead while I was stopped at a red light, which got me thinking: are there speed limits for airplanes?

on can be held liable for an accident that would not be their fault normally? (Ex. The driver with lights out is driving along an unlit road, another driver pulls out without seeing the vehicle and is t-boned. Can the car without lights be held responsible at all)? This didn't happen to me, I'm just curious.

I have an Audi A3 covered by Audi warranty (Germany).
Stupid as it sounds, I've fueled the Diesel car with a regular fuel, and few minutes later I realized what I've done after the car stopped.

I've called a road service which managed to drain the fuel tank , later I've fueled again with diesel and the car seemed to work fine.

Few minutes later the car stopped again.

I've called the Audi service center in Germany, since my car is still covered by the first two years' warranty, but haven't told them what really happened.

My question is what should I do now ? if I would tell them would they still cover the damage, if not, will they be able to find that out and charge me ?

Thank you.

Does anyone know how to fix the dash lights of my 2000 Ford Focus (hatchback)? Is it under the dashboard? My dad can fix cars but he's unsure of American models. Please help! Thanks.

Can anyone recommend a manual covering the basic operation and repair of small engines? Every gasoline powered item I have seems to run rough and even after the obvious spark plug, filter replacement and fresh gas I have no improvement. I'm a service tech by trade so I'm no weekend warrior, just never got into small engines. Thanks!

Best if under $1500. I don't care how it looks or what year it is as it gets from point A to point B. I will be carrying a large backpack and a small tent with a sleeping bag. I'm not looking for a huge bike either, I'm a very small guy. Thanks.

I have flown on several flights, and it ALWAYS ignores me that I can't listen to my CD player during take off and Landing. I understand no cell phones because the signal messes it up, but in the case of a CD player there is no signal, and yet they ALWAYS freak out about people having them on during takeoff and landing. It's the only thing about the fight rules I truly just don't get, and I was really hoping some one here could tell me.. why can't I rock out during take off and landing?

It makes no noise at all when this happens, i just get nothing at all when i turn the key. Is it the battery? I havent replaced it in the 4 years that i've owned it, is there an easy way to figure this out? the car has about 82k miles. thanks....
