    Why are people still buying Gas guzzling SUV's?

    Extra safety is a LIE! extra visibility yes, but they are totally impractical, and most drivers can't drive them off road, or on road either. It's fashionable, and it's innane and dangerous, but big business is proffiting from it, so not everything is bad.

    What is your avatar and does it mean? Tell us here.

    Mine is a picture of Jennifer Love Hewitt with a pink border and pink lettering that says "I (heart) JLH". It means I love Jennifer Love Hewitt, mainly because she has massive breasts.

    Toyota L series crank alignment?

    what is the alignment between TDC No#1 compression stroke and the key on the crankshaft for the alternator belt pulley. Pls show me a discernable picture-the cranks' timing pulley has uneven holes, just knowing where the gap goes will do. Good Picture essential.

    A small girl i know wants to hitch hike over states, can you help me convince her...

    It's impossible to say it will happen, but the risks are certainly high. People have to make their own decisions and live (& die) with the consequences. Too many want to dance for free, but the piper HAS to be paid, sometimes in blood and tears, but always paid. Dread what she lets any...

    My car A/C works, but doesn't blow through vents?

    In-dash plumbing has prob come off its joints, or a valve on the heater box is not operating. Is the cabin fan running? Have you got the levers in the correct positions? Or has your a/c circuit been punctured and lost refridgerant? [likely]

    2006 Suzuki S40 Exhaust Smoke After New Pipe Installed:?

    A fully baffled Harley pipe is a contradiction in terms, IME. retune your carbs, VERY soon. If the pipe was new, it may have been some left overs from manufacture/storage, or just water condensate from normal running.

    i have an 1986.5 nissan d21 V6. that i filled up with bad gas from the station?

    Keep a sample of that fuel, you could have an interesting court case, or be a material witness. I'm sure someone would like to analyze it and perhaps prosecute. You DO have minimum fuel standards in US, don't you? We used to have gas stations brew their own final mixes, until pollution became...
