Is it possible to mount 2 sidecars on a Motorcycle, one on the left and one on the right? Has it been done before? Do people do it? And will the result be road legal? I'm thinking of trying this out as DIY project, with the goal of trying to carry 5 people on a motorcycle license if two people sat in each sidecar, and on person sits behind the rider. Think of the fuel economy, and the relative inexpensiveness of my creation. I researched this a bit online earlier and found nothing. Hope I will have more luck here. Thoughts and opinions are welcome.

First of all, there has been a sudden cold snap. Below freezing.

Yesterday after driving all over the place, starting it over and over again with no problem, it refused to start. It sounds like VERY dead battery. I got it jumped and it idled just fine, but when I turned it off and tried to re-start it, it died.

In the morning I got a jump, and I was able to drive it a few blocks before it died when I down-shifted at a stop sign. I got another jump and was able to make it onto the highway just a block away. I got a mile down the road and it died again when I downshifted at a stoplight.

Anyone have any ideas on where to start?

My Ram 2500 is a pretty tall truck, I was working in Rockford Ilinois one day and seen an Octopus Car wash, I pulled in, asked the guy, is this truck too tall? Nope, Okay, had the truck washed, everything was fine, after I left I noticed the wipers were not tucked down tight any more they were up like 8 inches. I went back the next day to complain to the manager and he gave me some bull that "we have a touchless system, bla. bla , bla, it was not us"
You don't have to be Columbo, they were fine before the car wash and messed up after.
So I live with this anoying problem but over the next few months the wipers stop higher and higher. Now when the wipers are off, they are in the highest possible position (like straight up and down)
I figured out how to take the wipers off of the shaft and I put them back on where they belong but then when you turn the wipers on, they don't move because they think they are still up high and are trying to push down instead of come up. Anyone Help??????

I have a Ford Focus which I have been very happy with. Now the time has come for a change. what do I get? Another Focus or a VW Passat or a Vauxhall? Or something else in a similar price range (for a one or two year old vehicle). What's your opinion or experience?

So my last question was kind of badly worded. So I will provide a diagram. According to him, he was behind me, thinking I was going into the left turn lane, but nope. He said in front of him was a car, and to the left was other cars, so he went with me, and was on my right while I was trying to do a U-turn.

When I went up to him, he was talking on a phone. I do not know if he was during the accident. Me, what was I doing? I was trying to do a U-turn, going into the suicide lanes or saftey lane area, and going for it. I did not expect a car to be next to me. Look at the diagram. I did it decent, and by no means consider it accurate, just what I could do in a few minutes or something.

I am red, he is blue. Who's fault? I know I was at fault cause I decided not to use the left turn lane because it said No-U Turn and I decided to do it before the left turn lane.

My then boyfriend(now husband)and I were in an car accident in June2006.It was his fault, a deer ran in front of us and he swerved and totaled the car in a ditch.I had to go to the emergency room to be treated for back pain.At the time he had bodily injury liability coverage but no one ever gave the hospital any auto information and Geico never asked either of us about my medical treatment, and both of us assumed it was all taken care of.The he went on deployment to Iraq and I got a notice from a collection agency that my bills were in collection.After going back and forth a hundred times with the collection agency, they told me it was resolved.I never heard anything from them again but I looked at my credit report and it says the 2 medical bills are still in collection!How do I reopen the claim to make Geico pay for these medical bills so itll stop lowering my credit?I was given the number to the guy who handled the case but I'm afraid he's going to tell me it's closed and thats's it.

I have a '97 dodge dakota 318 5-speed manual, I have a couple of questions.
1. I am looking to purchase a 360 and rebuild it. Will the 360 mount up to the 5-speed trans. I know that the factory did not offer this set-up.
2. If I go with the 360 will my throttle body assembly and fuel lines fit up?
