Cars & Transportation - 21 November 2007

I will turn 30 next year, but I just recently got the urge to start riding motorcycles!!! It's not just a fly by night thing either. Besides my family, it is all I think about day and night. That's a little exaggerate, but you get the point. Should I do it or not?

I got into an accident quite awhile, and am now finding myself in a position where i really should get my car fixed. I went to two collision places- a ritzy place and the dealer- both of whom charged me insane amounts of money.

I was just wondering if there was a better method of looking for a good affordable place without dragging my car from location to location waiting for a quote.

Also, any recommendations? Just from the commercials, maaco's seems cool. Price is more of a concern than quality to be frank.

I was tightening down the terminals ( i had to replace the batter and terminals due to problems ) and i dropped the wrench, which ended up connecting the positive and negative of the battery I'm using until I can get a new one.

I have a 1995 BMW 325is and it is overheating. Does anyone have any suggestions on what's wrong. I have added Fluid to it and I can't find any leaks. Could this be serious? I am in Nashville TN and any inexpensive mechanics that are recommended are appreciated.

I had the check engine light come on yesterday along with my check oil light after driving for about an hour. I checked the oil level and it was fine. Then I parked and came back about 7 hours later and notice that my dome light was on. I had to drive another 2 hours or so with the dome light on.

Now even after I shut the car off the light stays on. I've made sure all of the doors were shut, unplugged the battery, and everything. Any suggestions?

I have a 1993 Audi 90s. The blower fan for the heater, defroster, AC, etc does not blow. There are three speeds. Speeds 1 and 2 nothing happens. On speed 3 I hear a humming noise that sounds like it is coming from behind the glove box. I have checked every fuse (I pulled and inspected every single one) and did not find any bad fuses. Anyone know what the problem might be??

So far i only know that the belt drive is quieter, less to maintain and easier to fix then the shaft. So it came down to three bikes.Honda shadow spirit 750 (shaft drive) , suzuki m50 (thats about 800 cc)and a kawasaki 900 . What cruser would you prefer out of those 3 depending on reliablility and performance. If you guys can please answer those 2 questions I'll appriciate it.

Is it true that stop signs all around the world have the same wording: STOP ?

Is this true even in foreign language countries? eg. China

All I know is that only Quebec says ARRET

TRUE or FALSE?

If the speed limit around the nation is 65-70, how come they make cars that can reach up to 130 mph if not more?

I recently had my distriubtor replaced about 3 weeks ago after my car died completely. After leaving the shop my check engine light came on and when i took it back, they said it was my catalytic converter which I thought was BS since the light came on after i left their shop. Anyway, I was driving home today and my car sounded as if it wanted to stall out. Than, it accelerated poorly and my check engine light was blinking the whole ride home. The car would kick in good at times but my car was shaking alot. Any ideas what this could be. I really do not think its my catalytic converter because I replaced it 2 years ago. The OBD codes that came up were P0420 since I left the shop and today the new code appeared which is P1399, so now I have two codes. Any ideas what could be causing this.
