I want to learn about cars. Not just the superficial stuff. I want to know the dirty details too. Does anyone have a good website or recommendation for where I can learn about cars. Like a crash course or something like that. Thanks!

How can i paint one of those pictures i see on ebay of film/rock stars or cool cars?

cool cars
sidewalker asked:


They’re normally two or three tone and obviously based on a photograph which has quite possibly been photoshopped. Do you need a projector or a light box? what’s the technique? it’s obviously fairly formulaic as there are a lot of artists out there with a similar product. I’d like to do make some similar pictures for my flat but i can’t figure out the method.

what car would you recommend to have to carry around a racing road bike?

car
Colton R asked:


My friend is looking for a vehicle to buy that would be good on gas and also can carry his bike. He has one of those touring bikes and he hauls it around alot. What car would you recommend for him. Keep in mind he is 16 so he doesn’t have a lot to spend. He is also interested in a stick shift car so other recommendations for that would be nice.

How do I buy a new car from a dealership?

ElectroMagneticLight asked:


I actually bought a new car back in Nov. ‘02. Mits. Lancer ‘03. Well, I regret that. I got totally ripped off. I am still paying for that car plus I have a balloon payment (the interest) coming up in Nov. ‘07. I know I’m going to be needing a new car soon. I am giving myself some extra time before I buy so I can make the right decision. I narrowed my choices to 2 cars: MINI Cooper/ Toyota Matrix. I ask: How can I haggle prices down? How can I find out what are the taxes in my area? How can get a great loan with my bank? I think I have excellent or almost excellent credit. What advice can you guys give me? (The reason why I’m getting a new car is because my boyfriend is going to be using my Mits. He had to sell his car when we moved. We are both young and need some wise advice.
I can’t ask my parents for advice because they are dead.

I’m not going to get a used car because I’m going to look stupid driving a shite box.

Yes I can afford two car payments. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be asking for advice.

My boyfriend bought us a condo with both of are names on it. He’s done a lot for me, so the least I can do is let him use his car since he sold his car so the move could be easier.

How many rail cars of coal does the US burn every day?

cars
Scott asked:


I’ve been told its about one rail car every second or 86,400/day. If that’s true, and each car is about 50 feet long, then that means the coal we use every day would fill a train 818 miles long even if there were zero space between the cars!
A real train, with several feet between cars and a lot of locomotives would probably be closer to 1000 miles long.

A question for people who know a lil about cars, and different types of cars?

Filed under: Buying & Selling — Tags: , , — chatyak @ 8:21 pm
Lonette M asked:


Ok im only 14, but I would still like a couple answers to this question. Ok I like researching for a car to buy when I get older, (since my mom said I have to buy my own). And I like older car models like the classics. Does anyone know the name of any nice classic cars from like the 90’s or 80’s up until now. It’ll help a lot if you know the car name and model.

Please help me!!! Thanks.

Dr. Evil asked:


A shear-thickening material is what you get when you mix cornstarch with water. It forms that colloid material. I need to find out what material in cars is shear thickening. Does anyone that knows a lot about cars know what part of the car is like this?
I just need to know this for biology class. It’s for extra credit.
