my friend gave me his old yamaha 50cc scooter, unfortunately the model(name) of the scooter was scraped off on the front part of the bike, how can i determine the model of the scooter, is there some sort of tag or label hidden inside the body or embossed in the metal(body) frame for me to determine. I checked the yamaha websites and i can't get to see a similiar design compared to that of mine, i need the exact model so i can register it our licensing bereau since it doesn't a license plate yet.

The car is a Honda Civic 2000 Si. (The B16A engine) I would like websites for aftermarket parts. Websites for...
Clutches
Superchargers
Turbos
Cams, rods, pistons...
Lights

You get what I'm going after. I'd like some namebrand parts. Websites that you can trust also.

ok i went to costco this morning and asked a professional about the perfect battery for my car. when i got home i took out the old battery and put in a new one. although my car old battery was smaller and half the amount of amps in it. i switch it. so when i switched it i tried to turn it on. my car didn't start, i got my other car and set up the cables and try to see if it would start. no sign, later then i took of the cables from the working car and hit them against each other and sparks went off. so i thought that it was maybe the wrong one. afterwards i put in my old one and tried to turn the car on and still no sign of lights flashing.tried cable wires with my other car and still didn't turn on. what did i do wrong?

Hey yall,

I have a weird question; how do yall drive in the snow ? I'm embarrassed to ask this, but this is my first winter living in the North and to be honest, I've never really even seen snow before, let alone had to drive in it. I am SO stressed out over this! If I drive slow, all I get is a bunch of inpatient yankees tailing me, flashing their lights and honking their horns and then I get even more stressed but I don't dare to speed up as I'm afraid I'll go off the road. I'd take my good ole Alabama weather and hurricanes any day over snow!!!

Any suggestions or simple words of encouragement ? LOL I'm fixin to go crazy one of these days if things don't change...HA!

Thanks for any thoughts!

Someone turned into a shopping center right in front of me and I had no time to stop, although I braked as hard/fast as I could. Cops happened to be around taking donations and one saw the whole thing and said I was not at fault. Someone at work told me no matter what my rate would go up. I'm with State Farm if that matters. thank youu:]

I just turned 18 on the 12th. I need to take my written test first of course. In order to do this, I do know I need two types of identification to show the D.M.V.. Unfortunately, my mom misplaced my birth certificate. I have my social security card and my school I.D.. Will that work at the D.M.V.? (Los Angeles, CA) I know I can call and ask but it is 9:06PM here and I want to know right now. hehe...

i went to look at 3000gt today. my dad pointed out that something was wet near the tranny and when i looked from underneath the car, underneath the tranny area was wet. (supposibly the tranny was rebuilt last year, it shouldnt be wet then) i also noticed 3 bottles of antifreeze in the back of the car. I know this could be any possible problem but if i could get a general idea of what the problem might be i would be more inclined to buy it. i dont want to spend more money fixing the car then it cost to buy it and i know tranny can get real expensive real quick... any one know of a common problem, or what the problem might be and what it would cost to fix it?

I have a 1993 Chrysler LeBaron 2.5L.

I am installing aftermarket fog lamps (fog lamps where not an option on this car) and I need to connect the power supply wire to the positive side of the vehicle's fuse box or battery terminal.

Well the cord won't reach the battery (unless there is some extender I could use) so I need to do it to the fuse box.

There are "Two" fuse boxes in my car: one under the dash and one under the hood, though I believe the one under the hood is the "official" fuse box and the one under the dash is just quick access to some.

Be as detailed as you can as I'm not very electrically inclined with cars.

I looked really well on the side near and around the water pump but could see no visible moisture. What is my next step to find out where it's coming from? Is there a coolant drain plug leaking around there? Thanks.

Look I'm in my mid twenties. The love of my life is two states away.
I have to see him. It has been 3 months. Long story how I got out here. I have no friends or family here. My family lives half way across the country. I am dying to see my soulmate. He is dying to see me. I do not have a vehicle right now, because it is states away at my dads and I am letting him use it for work, since he is real hard up right now.

My question: How with no vehicle, only a couple hundred bucks. Do I get there?
I can't take the bus or train, because there is no way that I will leave my dog behind.
I can wait no longer, I have to see my love.

What would you do? If I wait one more month,I will have my truck back and my license back and can drive up. However, it has already been nearly 4 months. I can wait no longer.

Should I hitchhike? How safe during the holidays is that-for a woman to do?

Thanks.

looking at Gas Mileage. Which would be more fuel efficient hauling 1000lbs in the bed of a truck or put that 1000lbs in a trailer and pull it with the truck?

Often times I will be behind a truck and rocks will be falling from the bed hitting my car. Can I call the police? Force them to pull over and file a report?

The biggest killer in the US is an automobile being driven too fast or too recklessly.....The maximum speed limit on interstates is 80 MPH.....so...it seems to be that building a car that will go over 85 MPH is irresponsible and dangerous. What about passing a law outlawing cars that go over 85 MPH? There is no legitimate use for cars that do and evidence that driving over the speed limit is a major killer.

New cars could be fitted with a governor to limit speed...that is done with rental trucks now....and older cars that were designed to go over 85 dollars could be purchased back by the government and crushed. There is a precident for this..gun buy backs.....today in St Louis the city government bought back hundreds of guns. no questions asked....many were stolen....but..turn it in and get your fifty bucks....let's do the same thing with corvettes and mustangs....make them illegal and buy them back for five hundred bucks and crush them. What ya say?

My friend & I are having a bet, but since we can't go around testing the theory, I though it best to ask here.

What exactly happens when you slash/stab a car's tire? Is there a difference between stabbing the treads vs. the white wall?

Also, is there anything hazardous about it, like pieces of rubber flying out from the internal pressure?

Not sure how many people know about this, but I figure someone has to work at an auto body shop or Discount Tire...
