I know everyone complains about people driving and cell phones, which I consider dangerous. But what about those women who put on make up. I was almost ran over by a woman putting MASCARA on. I was actually rear ended at a stop light because the lady was looking at a magazine at the same time. I have seen people looking at computers and doing paper work. Maybe the police should be able to pull over people doing things that could be potentiallly dangerous and give warnings. What do you Think?

Hi, I got the motor online as my beemer dealer said it needs replacing but they want to charge me £430!!!!

But I cannot even find the front wiper motor inside the engine compartment which suggests its probably behind the dash, is that so and can a novice like me replace it and if so how?

Its a bmw 318i E36 1998. Thank you.

So....I just moved to Riverside, CA...and of course, my car starts making a funny sound. I was hoping someone could tell me what it might be? I believe it's coming from the passenger side front wheel (?)...and it sounds like a ticking. It's not very loud....and it doesn't sound like the clicking that wheels make when your CV joints start to go bad. It gets worse when I go over bumps (but it does not get worse when I turn). it started about 2 weeks ago...and barely did it when I went over a bump, and now it does it all the time. I had the sway bar replaced, and the bushing replaced about 4 months ago. It's a 2001 Ford Focus SE (no mean comments please...I love my car) What could it be?? Do I need to get it to the shop?

Also, does anyone know a good (honest) mechanic in Riverside, CA?

Thank you so much in advance for any help.

Such is the way of the world now that pretty much all manufacturers of bikes release new models or updates on a near yearly basis. One only has to pick up a magazine to find that the latest Suzhonkamaha1800 is this weeks bike of the year and last weeks one was crud by comparison. I am not picking on just the Japanese here, it was just easier to make up a name with them but the European, American and other manufacturers do the same - so no one can take a holier than thou high ground on this one :-)

So what do you think has the motorcycle become? Transport, expensive hobby, fashion accessory or something else and on what do you base you opinions? Lets hear what it is for you and also what you think of the broader picture accross the market and globe.

I bet there will be some polarised answers to this but lets not get nasty here at the end of the day a bike is a bike is a bike.

I'll add my thoughts later.

Cheers

I just bought a new 2007 Suzuki GS500F. They had it marked down from $5199.00 to $4299.00 plus markups for freight and setup for a total price of $4950.00. I got them down to an out the door price of $4885.00 which includes $91.00 for title and registration and $50.00 for Document Fee. I have a feeling that the Setup fees and Document fees are a total scam. I think I got a pretty good deal, but could I have done better? It is last years model, so I'm wondering for future reference if I could have knocked another $100 - $200 off of it. They flat out refused my offer of $4650.00 and they let me walk out. I came back and we finally settled on $4885.00. What do you think, could I have done better if I held out longer??

I'm driving a 1994 Eagle Vision Tsi (Chevrolet?) and it's been in the garage for the last 2 years. It doesn't feel like it's accelerating very well so i was told that it needs a tune up by my neighbor. How much would it cost to get one of these?

ok i co-signed on a car with someone and they have been behind on payments for about 8 or 9 months and when i say behind i mean not making a pament at all for that period of time, now the finance company has a reposesion out for the car and they have been calling and harassing me about payments and keep wanting to know where the car is so they can pick it up, i keep telling them that if i knew where it was i would be more than happy to tell and i dont think it is fair for me to make payments on a car that i never see let alone drive, after all im not the primary owner i just co-signed (i know, i made a big mistake and since i put my name on the car lone the finance company sees it as i have a partial obligation to keep the car up to date with payments, but like i said i never see the car and have never even driven it so i cant waist my money on payment for something i have absolutly no controlle over,expecially since i am stretched with money and im having a hard time making my own car

In my opinion, a pistonless rotary style engine would be ideal for an aircraft engine. They are smaller and weigh less than a piston engine of similar power so less drag, are reliable and most importantly can get much higher RPMs than pistons, and RPMs are what gets airspeed. Whats the deal?

I live in California and I am taking the driving test tomorrow and I just found out that they check your car's license plates. So if I don't have a front one (the car dealer only had 1 license plate), will I be disqualified?

He immigrated to the USA in 1946 because he wanted to escape from the damaged Germany from World War II. I was wondering if he can use this old license to drive in the USA (specifically California) if he hasn't driven since he moved here? Is it allowed?
