that will be used by a visiting foreign student for 3 months then
thrown away?
\_ You can get a bike that cheap off of Craig's list but you will
need to do some work on it before it will be safe. I bought a

2010/2/10-3/9 [Transportation/Car] UID:53699 Activity:low | 2/10 About the Lexus that crashed because of (supposedly) a stuck
accelerator padel, why didn't the driver simply put the transmission
in Neutral? If the cop passenger had time to press at least one
button to dial 911, wait for the call to be picked up, and had a
10-second-plus conversation with the operator (which was played back
in media reports), wasn't there much more than enough time to tell the

2008/10/6-9 [Transportation/Car] UID:51403 Activity:kinda low | 10/6 Why is drafting behind semi trucks dangerous? I'm thinking it's not
dangerous because my car's brakes should perform better than the

40-50K. I'm looking at Lexus, Mercedes, BMW, and Acura. I know the
reliability and quality of Lexus and Acura cars, but I don't have much

2007/6/8-13 [Transportation/Car/RoadHogs, Transportation/Car/Hybrid] UID:46893 Activity:moderate | 6/9 Dear hybrid and bike riding fanatics who hate SUVs: What do you
think about people driving their RVs across the country, or people
who fly planes (with much less miles per jet-A fuels than miles
per 87-91 octane fuels for cars), or people who drive high
performance sportscars with only 10-15MPG? What about the amount
of pollutants an electric car battery (or hybrid car battery)

2006/12/26-27 [Transportation/Car] UID:45499 Activity:nil | 12/26 Got a new serpentine belt in my car. Now, when I start up the car,
there is a somewhat loud squeeking noise, especially when I turn
the steering wheel. The noise is mostly gone within several
seconds after starting the car, but does return to some degree if I
turn the steering wheel far to the right or left. I also got new
brake pads installed, but the noise occurs when the car is barely
