You can be driving down the road at 55mph at 2200 rpm, and
it comes on and it will be stuck in 2 gear for a while and it will be 3000rpm at 45mph. It seems to come on more when its warm outside. Can someone help. Thanks

Either in your opinion, or do you know any stats?

I can't think of the name, but it's that long wooden thing that rises allowing you to proceed.

Just had my 400 smallblock reconditioned, and just need a little detail on how to fit the engine to the transmission.. the transmission is still in the car, and all i was gunna do was to fit the flexiplate and the torque convertor to the engine block and drop it back in the way it came out.. But ive been told this aint right and the way to do it is to fit the flexi to the engine block, and then put the torque convertor on the tranny then bolt the two together once the engine is bolted to the transmission.. this seems like a whole lotter hassle, but if its the right way, it the right way.. If anyone knows if this is right or not, your help would be appriecated.. Also does anyone know where i can view an online guide to doing just this???

If the aircraft engines are incredibly quiet, the build up of sound shock waves would be less intense, then breaking through it would be easier, isn't it?

OK so it's really late at night and you pull up to a traffic light and it's red. You are waiting and waiting and there are no cars around.

I've heard if you flash your high beams that will help make the light turn green.

I've also heard if you drive close to the pedestrian crosswalk and back up it can trigger some kind of sensor.

So are these urban legends? What's the truth?

Why do people call a subway a metro? I thought metro was short for metropolis, which is another name for city. Why does every city with a subway system insist on just calling it "the metro?"

I recently purchased a car, my cars front panel looks same when its switched on and when it is in standby (i.e when key is inserted). Unintentionally I have many time switched on the engine when it was already on. It makes horrible noise which scares me. Does it have any side effect on the engine? does it damage the engine?

Please give your valuable answers.

i finally found a Z all i could find up until i found the Z were just the 6's so as happy as i was with (my life savings not really life savings)i bought it i took it for a drive and all the time the fans to what i believe and to what i was told were the engine fans constantly running and he gave me this bogus story of the previous owner rigging it to know if his fans were running okay i mean who the heck would have that done anyways none the less i bought it like a sucka on top of that a bad tranny$1600.00 to fix still Coolant system replace $700.00

What is considered an intersection and more importantly “passing in an intersection”. I was ticketed for “passing in an intersection”. I went to see where the cop claimed I passed in an intersection. I was on a highway with no stops. Their was a cross road which had stops, however the highway had no stops. Also it was a broken yellow line indicating it was a passing zone. The IC he gave me on the ticket was 9-21-8-7 which does not address this issue, but passing on the left.
