What you should do is make a list of everything it needs, Engine, wheels, nuts, bolts, etc. Find out how much all the parts will cost. Double that amount, and that is what you will be spending on restoring the bug. Now look at used VW's, that are in the condition you expect to be able to...
After working in auto parts for several years, I would not buy a Suzuki car. Their Swifts were popular though. But availability of parts for any of the Suzuki's may be difficult, especially if you need the part right away.
Considering Suzuki automobiles have always been at the bottom of consumer reports and other comparisons, as far as quality and ride etc, and that Suzuki has stopped importing cars to the U.S. I would take your dad's side of this argument.
It would help if you were to mention what make model and year your truck is. Sounds like you have something draining the battery, or it is possible that you got a bad battery. Disconnect your battery overnight and see if you still have a problem in the morning. If so, then you have a...
There are several chemicals that will destroy paint on a car. Of course there is the common paint thinners, then there is acids, and brake fluid will destroy paint. Did you file a police report? Now you will have to have the paint totally stripped off the hood and have it reprimed and...
Chilton and Haynes both make good manuals. They both make manuals that are car specific. Most auto parts stores will carry either one or the other. They provide great instructions and pictures which will get the average person through most repairs done at home. If you need to have an exact...
I would start by changing the headlight switch. Then I would do a close examination of all the wiring in the car. As someone else stated, wires could have been damaged when the police equipment was removed.
I'm sure you mean engine cooling tube, not coolant tube. You do not want the automatic beetle, it's going to be extremely slow accelerating. I do like the old beetles, just not the automatics. There isn't any real way to determine if the engine has been damaged unless you do a tear down. If...
I would like to meet Benjamin Franklin. I would like to see what he thinks of the country now. Also I would like to show him our life, how we live, what has been invented in the last 200+ years since he did the electricity in lightning experiment. I would pick him because not only was he a...
Not all computers have DVD drive. Even if it has the slot that a DVD can fit in, it could be a CD drive. Some computers don't have either. You can get an external DVD drive that connects through a USB port.
I have an '01 Edge and had the same problems. First, change your transmission filter and fluid. Your transmission filter is plugged and starving your transmission. Your low mgp is caused by the O2 sensors starting to go out, change both of them and you should be getting 18 to 20mpg. BTW the...
Some people are saying that once an ex always an ex, but from my personal experience I would say play it cool and see what happens. It's very possible that she just needed some time to clear her head and see if she loved you or if it was just lust. If she hasn't hooked up with anyone else and...
Technically you were in Maui, however you did not experience Maui. It's nothing to brag about. I could say I've been to France, spent 2 weeks on an air base. Didn't experience France, shoot it could have been somewhere in Kansas for as much as I saw. If he wants to tell people that he's been...
You broke the golden rule of motorcycling. Never let anyone else ride your bike. If you don't want to put it on your insurance then you will have to get the money out of him. How much is your friendship worth? You just learned a valuable lesson. Never loan money or an item unless you can...
VW did have an automatic as an option in '68 - 72, they are very rare now. But other than being rare, they were very inefficient. Take a car that puts out 70 horsepower on a good day and it's slow, take 25% of that to run the auto transmission and the car wouldn't hardly move out of its own...
Honda has come out with a bike that you don't have to shift. DN01 but it is more like a scooter on steroids. Shifting is part of the experience of being one with the machine.
