I would travel by plane but it would cost me a total of $481.90 there and back! To get there in and back in gas would only cost me $360! Do you think it's better to drive or ride on an airplane? I'm traveling from Nashville, TN to Flanders, NJ(Trenton, NJ if flying).
Since I plan on driving(unless someone changes my mind);
~Tell me how to be safe.
~Tell me what things to be aware during the trip(in other people) so that I can be safe.
~Tell me safest places to rest and eat that are still not too expensive.
And please, if you have any additional information for me about safety, or ANYTHING really, just reply here or e-mail me! This is my FIRST road trip! It's 837.86 miles and it's going to take me 13hours and 16 minutes. Also, I'm driving alone! How can I keep myself entertained and awake?! Help!

I know there's a similar question regarding blowouts, however I'm wondering whether the answer would remain the same if your tire completely left your car?

The reason I'm asking is because about a year ago, I got stranded on the side of the road because my wheel wasn't secured to my car right. Evidently the lugnuts, or something else, on that particular tire weren't completely fastened, so the tire started working its way off the axel. Now, I'm not entirely up to par on how to know what's wrong with my car, so I was going to have it looked at when I got home, but before I could even get to my destination, my wheel rolled across 4 lanes of road.

My questions is whether it is statistically safer to lose a front wheel or rear wheel. I'd also like to know, for my own personal amusement, where I can get data regarding how many incidents like this occur and how bad they end up being. That's probably a bit too detailed than will ever be provided, though.

Thanks!

is there a web site that tracks car changes?
So I could see the difference between a 2001 and 2002 of car X.
Then I could look at the differences between 2002 and 2003.
Etc....

When Transferring the Title and Registration of a Used Car in California from one Family Member to another... is it better to list the car as being Received as a Gift or list it as being purchased for $1?

Would there be taxes owed after receiving a car as a gift?

i want to buy a nissan 350z, but i dont know if they are going to do any remodeling to it. considering that its been basically the same model since the 350 came out. i dont wanna buy one now, and then see a completely redesigned 350 shortly after. especially since the nissan 350z and the infinity g35 coupe were designed on the same platform, and as we all now, the g35 coupe has been replaced with the g37, so maybe someone out there knows about a new 350z coming soon... please help! thanks

Hey y'all

I've got a 2002 Suzuki Bandit 1200, and about 5 months ago I changed the chain and sprockets. The stock gearing was 15/45 with a 110 link, and I changed that to a 15/47 and broke the chain at 112 links.
After install, I adjusted the chain tension, and the tensioners were out a little more then 1/2 way. I thought with a brand new chain and brand new sprockets, the rear axle and tensioners should have been all the way in, but they weren't.
The original chain that came on the bike from the factory lasted 5 years, but the replacement lasted only 5 months.

My question is, how do you set the correct chain length when changing sprocket gearing from stock, and what's the worst that could happen with breaking the chain down to a lower length, say 108 links?

I think the water is coming in from the spoiler. After a heavy rain, water pours out of the trunk lid when I open the trunk. I'm afraid it will rust out eventually, and I'm sick of getting soaked.
