I don’t have an Owner’s Manual and I can’t find it. Every time I crank my car up there is an enormous amount of smoke coming from the tailpipe. The smoke smells like fuel/gasoline. And I can also smell it inside my car. Can that be the reason for the smoke or what?

my father was just diagnosed with esphogus, lung, and liver cancer. I feel totally helpless. He has worked hard his whole life. He was a vietnam vet and worked for northwest for 35 years when they shut down his branch and he was forced to retire. He got a job moving cars for only 8 bucks an hour. He lost his health coverage and is now going to the V A hospital for his cancer. I dont know if I like this idea, but he has no other option. His pride and joy is his 1954 ford hard top retractable car. The top won”t go back up anymore. It really isnt in that bad of shape, but it could use a little TLC. I cant afford to do this for him, but I know that it would really bring his spirits up.

I have a classic convertabile car which I just bought new weather stripping for about two years ago. Today I noticed that the weather stripping is already starting to deteriate and was wondering what is the best way to preserve it. I am talking about the rubber stripping that surrounds the door. I am not refering to the vinyl top itself.

Possible suggestion that I herd of: 303, vasaline, WD-40, and silicone lubracant.

To surprise My cousins (Girl,6. Boy,4) I wanted to make them a comic book. I need some original ideas that they would like. Hannah likes princesses and Aidan likes cars… Classic Boy/Girl things. Any Ideas?

Hi there scooter enthusiasts (or possibly motorcyclists as well). I am a female college sophomore about to purchase my FIRST scooter ever. I have done lots of research into the make and model I am looking for and have finally settled on two options. 1) purchase the 2010 Lance Cali Classic 125 (a very hot scooter recently) or 2) wait for the Adly La Vita 150 to come out. Either way, I will be needing a helmet to keep my noggin safe from the random meteorites hurling towards the entire 3 sq. feet of space I take up. Oh, and also cars, trucks, rolling boulders, and swerving bicyclists too. I haven’t found much information on the safety of different helmet models except the obvious: don’t wear half-shells. If anyone out there might have some more information for me, I’d love to hear your advice.

Please and thank you!

Voting Question: What’s this classic game?

It’s a game where there’s 2 or more cars ( or something like that ) that when you move a line follows you. Now if you cross the line you lose so you have to try to get the other player(s) to cross a line before you do.
“IDK, LOL.” Get the fuck out. How are you a top contributor? Hate spammers like these.

All three boys are identical with dark brown hair & eyes. They’re five years old.

1 - He’s extremely lovable and cuddly, very sweet and helpful. He’s giggly and loves to laugh. A great listener and always does as he’s told. He’s polite and never causes trouble. He’s the loner of the three boys, and would rather stick around Mommy or Daddy than his brothers. Very sensitive and a bit bashful, he usually stands by when the other two boys are in the spot light. He has a wonderful heart and is very caring. His first name is one syllable and his middle name starts with an E.

2 - He’s the troublemaker and the clown, the one that you can’t leave alone for five seconds. He’ll do anything to get attention and doesn’t listen well, often doing as he pleases. He’s Daddy’s buddy, always rough housing or watching him work on the car. Even though he drives you crazy sometimes and you know he’ll give you a run for your money when he’s a teenager, you can’t help but laugh at him. His first name is a classic with a very youthful nickname that he goes by; middle name is the name of a place.

3 - The most intelligent of the boys, he’s very thoughtful and intellectual. He’s needed glasses since he was three, and they fit his brainy personality perfectly. He loves drawing, puzzles, working with numbers, animals, reading and anything that makes him think or is a challenge. He’s very patient and a wonderful problem solver. Although, with his brains, he’s often the mastermind behind #2’s antics — so, he can be mischievous. First and middle names can be whatever, but he goes by his initials. [ie. CJ, JD, etc.]
Haha wow these personalities are based off a set of triplet boys I know personally. Never even thought of the chipmunks

I’m thinking about purchasing an old car, but I haven’t found something that really stands out. I admire the mustang fastbacks from the 60s, classic pontiacs (firebird), and corvettes but they’re too expensive. I’m looking for something unique and was reliable back in its day. Let me know what your favorite models are, your experience driving it (if any), and just any ideas that come to mind. Thanks a bunch.

What problems am i expected to face with a Mini Cooper Sports (2000), milage at 38,000? Any info about the car would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
