Other - Cars & Transportation - February 2007

Well I just got popped but feel I couldn't avoid it. I was coming up to a stop sign on a steep hill. At the stop sign, there is a 4 way intersection which I was turning left on. Cars were parked on both corners so I couldn't see well. So I busted my left & a car is coming FAST on my butt. So I accelerate. Look in my rear view and here comes the federale. He "gives me a break" & instead of 42 in a 25 gives me a 30 in a 25. Oh thank you officer! It's $117.

I want to fight it since I couldn't stop in the middle of the intersection and had to accelerate to avoid being hit. I've heard of radar guns not being calibrated to manufactuer's specs and people winning because of it. This ticket however doesn't seem to be radar. It says in the Nature of Offense field Speeding and in other field "Robric". Under date equip tested it say 1-4-07 (almost 2 months ago). Is this sufficient to get this dropped? Any other tips on beating this ticket? Thanks!

I need quick car pranks that can easily be done in under ten mins. My original idea was to put sticky notes all over his car and then saran wrap it over it so that there's two layers to take off, but I figured that, that would take too long. My new idea is vasaline on the windows and door handles and sticking condoms to it. Does anyone know how long it takes for the air to go out of tires?

ok I know some truck drivers can be jerks and cut you off and just do plain stupid stuff but why blame it on all of us. I hear so many times that trucks should not be let on the roads anymore. That is actully a very stupid statement. Don't people relize that it is us truck drivers that get the goods to the palces you need.

I heard from a friend that the DeLorean Motor Company is starting up again and remaking the DMC-12 for $45,000. Is this true? I'd love to have a DeLorean. They are my favorite cars, despite the underpowered 2.8 litre Volvo V6s. I'd probably just upgrade the engine with turbo kits anyway. I have been looking on eBay Motors for an original DeLorean, but I'm a little worried about buying a car I've never even seen, let alone test-driven. So does anyone know about a remake of the DMC-12? I've looked all over the web and couldn't find any information...

Hi Everyone!! :o)

Should DaimlerChrysler [Which owns Mercedes and Chrysler Group vehicles - just as GM owns Cadillac/Buick/Pontiac/Chevrolet vehicles, etc.] sell off the 'Chrysler Group' [Which includes Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep] or will a 'sale' be the death of the 'Chrysler Group'?

IF you think DaimlerChrysler [Also known as DCX] should sell the 'Chrysler Group' - WHO - do you think - would be the best 'new' owner?!

Thanks, Craig!! :o)

They are ROH rims, Modena Blackhawk 20" x 8.5. They have a chrome finish and the part # is 62-2085-600-15-CF. Also, I can't really find a distributor for ROH Wheels in the US, as they are made in Australia.
Any help will be appreciated.

I've rented at Hertz, Avis ... even Rent a Wreck, they're all about $80 to $120 for a weekend. Anyone heard of a place that will rent for like $30 a weekend ... even if there's a gimmick (like they put ads on the car or something).

I am at University and gradute in the summer. I will most likely go in to an academic or office job, thereby learning no practical skills but (hopefully) earning a comfortable wage; this said, I think I would prefer the practical skills.

What is involved in becoming a mechanic, so I can have it as a 'back up' career and work on my own projecys at home? Is it a costly or lengthy process? I have a couple of old bangers at home I can tinker with to learn the very basics, then is it off to evening school?

Thanks for the help.

I'd be happy to work as an HGV mechanic if this is any easier?

I can't find my counterpart (the paper part) of my provisional driving license - I have my test in a day!!
What should I do? I heard sometimes the driving instructor can sign something.. I have everything else (theory, photocard license etc). I don't know if i'll have to cancel my test. Anyone?
