    Has anyone had any problems with their 2007 ford fusion starting about 40K?

    Could just be bad luck with a bad alternator. Isn't it still under warranty anyways? 40,000 miles and an alternator seems pretty good to me, especially if they replace the alternator for you.

    Has anyone in history ever taken their car for a $99 brake job and paid $99?

    Maybe it's time to learn to do it yourself. It's not difficult. Buy a Haynes manual for your car. You can do all kinds of stuff and rarely pay a mechanic again.

    Ford f-150 4by4 XL Large Box truck - what are the tires that should be put

    What year is it? Most OE are 235/70-16 but some years did have optional sizes. Also, a larger tire isn't going to cause damage unless it's so big that it's rubbing or hitting things, or if two different sizes are used on the same axle. Just FYI.

    Should I get a Yamaha R6S (used) as my first bike? I have some riding experience.?

    Get it. There aren't enough salvage parts out there anymore.

    How do I turn up the idle on a 02 Chevy cavalier?

    You don't. You test your throttle position sensor and adjust/replace it. Edit: If a bad tps is the problem, no tuner is going to fix it. If it doesn't work now, tuning it isn't going to change anything; it'll still fluctuate.

    Why won't my bike start?

    Check the compression. It could need new rings.

    18 yr old female thinking about getting a sport motorcycle. Any comments?

    I started on a 2002 Kawasaki Vulcan 500 and my fiance started on a Ninja 500. You shouldn't be starting on a CBR600RR. It's too much for a beginner. Don't let society make you feel inferior for starting off on a more forgiving bike. It's your safety in question. Edit: For the guy talking about...

    My 2002 Dodge stratus air conditioner has started blowing warm air. It only...

    Turn the car on, prop up the hood and turn on the a/c. Does the clutch engage and turn the compressor shaft?

    Does a supermoto bike require a special kind of license?

    You need a motorcycle endorsement on your driver's license. I'd recommend the DRZ400SM if you plan on doing a lot of commuting on it.

    Questions about sport bikes and stunt riding?

    I know it's not what you want to hear, but you're going to need to learn to proficiently ride a motorcycle and be able to be very exacting with the controls before you can start "stunting." Unless, of course, your version of stunting is 6" power wheelies for 5 feet like I see most squids...
