Cars & Transportation - 30 December 2007

I got an amp for x-mas and I'm still trying to see the point in having one. I've looked all over and can't really figure out why anyone needs or wants one.

Maybe I just don't get it...

2008 Chevy Aveo - New
2007 Ford Focus ZX3 - 7,000 miles
2007 Kia Rio - 12,000 miles

I haven't heard a lot of good info on the Aveo. We are looking to purchase a smaller vehicle b/c we have street parking in the city. We're looking for 10-13k in price and all three of these fit the description. Should I go w/ one of these cars, or should we keep looking elsewhere?

Hi
I would like to buy a pressure bleeder for the brakes which will do all mercedes benz and its light commercials and cars with sensitive braking systems. Do I need an electric pressure bleeder? The pressure bleeders that I have come across use a 20 L container. Is there a hand pressure pump which does the same job with a low capacity container?
Any advice will be appreciated.
can you recommend one?

I'm going to get lynched for this.
Everybody cries out at the death rate on the road due to speeding so what comes along the camera your caught your fined you dont pay .Pounds are wasted chasing non payers and still everyone is speeding here and there.
Why not do away with the cameras and put limiters on all new cars manufactured so they cant speed . who the hell needs to go from 0-60 in 3 seconds anyway or cruise at 160mph.

My car won't start. Here's what happened.

I was driving, and I could feel the car turn it off, so I headed to the right hand lane, in hopes of finding a place to pull over. I put it in park, tried to start it, but nothing happened. Finally I got it to run, but as I approached the next stoplight the car didn't seem right, and started idling erratically. It shut off on me again at the stoplight, but I quickly got it going again and headed to the gas station, thinking that this problem was a lack of fuel. The car continued to act like it was starving of fuel (engine was lurching) so I made sure to put at least 3 gallons in the car. I then proceeded to try starting it up again, but no, no luck. I spent 15 minutes trying to start that thing, but it didn't work. Someone eventually had to jump start my car (since the battery was dying) so that I could keep trying to start it, but after doing that for a while my starter just got slower and slower until it barely moved.

I heard it from someone but am not sure if its true or not. So I want to get it confirmed. They say some potential energy are stored up in the outside surface of the aircraft and they are released when the airplane lands on the runway. How these potential energy are formed and why do they get released?

Thanks,

Just asking peoples input on what I should do with my car. I've had it for 12 years. It is an unmolested original car, although it will need a complete rebuild from top to bottom. What do you think about restoring it to original factory paint, wheels, etc or going with 400-500hp 340, custom paint, 18 or 19" wheels, shaved marker lights, a-arm front susp with 4 link rear, etc?

The Service Engine Soon light came on in my '96 Corsica a few days ago. I didn't think much of it because in this past this has been caused by my gas tank cover not being on tight enough. I tried tightening it, but the light stayed on. One time a few days ago I noticed the light flashing while I was driving. I have noticed that while I'm stopped a light, I can feel the engine almost sputtering, as though there is water in the gas line. I added half a container of HEET/fuel injector cleaner to the tank. I can still feel the engine sputtering while stopped. Then tonight on a 120-mile trip, the light flashed on multiple occasions, and I counted the flashes: 10 in a series. Does the 10 flashes specifically mean anything? If so, what? Or will I need to run a diagnostic code test?

Please don't advise me to go to a mechanic; my dad is my mechanic and as soon as we know what's wrong, we'll fix it.

I have a Motorcycle with an alarm that I do not use over the winter months and the battery runs flat; to access the battery to jump the bike or recharge takes some time and panels have to be removed etc.

Is there anything on the market which I can connect to the battery and have a connector at the other end which I could put in a more accessible place? (like under the seat), so I can attach the charger or jump leads to that connector other than direct to the battery?

I will try to get my drivers license tommorrow after waiting about 7 months with my permit. The problem is that, while I was driving with my permit, i got a seat belt violation. I know it says in the handbook while teens have a permit, they cannot get in any accident or violation. Can i still pass my test? Also do i have to pay off my fine today, or can i do it after the test? Thanks =D

The media hype has left a stigma on the Uninversal style Jeeps for a long time with roll-over scares and stability issues especially on pavement.

What are your experiences?

If its flat and straight and not busy, 5-10 mph over the limit. On curving mountain roads I don't speed much.

Out of everything that there is.
If you could pick any form, from any time period from now or any time before now,
any transport of land, sea, or air.
Civilian, Militaristic, or otherwise,
what would you choose?
