2 horsepower lawn mower engine?

Monday, November 30th, 2009

how fast would a 2 horsepower lawnmower engine go on a radio flyer wagon with some 10" off road tires

don’t know but i would put my money one it being the first one to the scene of the crash, bet you even beat the paramedics.

Do kids today still enjoy the iconic Radio Flyer red wagon?

Absolutely! They never go out of style with kids. That is why they are still sold but the newer models are way cool.

help in buying a 2002 or a 2004 volkwagen passat GLX wagon?

Saturday, November 28th, 2009

THEY BOTH LOOK CLEAN AND A FAXCAR THE 2002 HAS 50K MILES AND THE 2004 HAS 80K MILES. WHICH ONE IS BEST THEY ARE .BOTH ARE THE SAME PRICE.

Although the 04 has more miles, I would prefer it to the lower milage 2002. By 2004, many of the electrical and mechanical issues with the vehicle had been addressed, though the front suspension links still remained a weak point.

As the earlier writer has said, you need to have the VW inspected, paying close attention to the steering (possible leaks, worn tie rod ends) and the front suspension (weak and worn control arm links, worn ball joints), plus a check to make sure all the possible recall campaigns have been done. It need not be a dealership, a good independent shop that specializes in VW’s is good too.

I would suggest that you check and see if the service records are available for either car, if one has a complete service history and the car checks out ok, then, I’d pick the car with the service history regardless of which year or milage it is.

Having regular service at the right milage interval is very important to keeping these vehicles on the road with a minimum of trouble. Equally important is having someone who knows the vehicle and can service it knowing all the wierd quirks that can happen to them.

The reason that VW has such a poor reputation among used cars is because many people don’t maintain them according to the factory specs; these are cars that are unforgiving about missing service or even late service intervals.

Hope this helps, a car nut.

2006 Subaru impreza wagon 18,00 miles clean?

Thursday, November 26th, 2009

I’m the only driver.I’m wondering what it’s worth? I was thinking of selling it.

$11,500 assuming good tires and a clear title.

what sort of damage can be done by drifting and doing burnouts in a 1995 subaru liberty all-wheel-drive?

Thursday, November 26th, 2009

i have just got my license and bought a 95 liberty wagon awd and want to try some drifting and burnouts etc. in it . i was just wondering what damage i could do to the engine or awd system or any other parts of the car as i don’t know how many kms it has or how hard it has really been driven by the last owner.
also any tips on how to get it spinning or drifting tip would be nice.
cheers.

Well, everyone here seems to be of similar mind: you’ll damage differentials, eat throuh tires, empty your wallet, etc., etc. I’ll add two more items: you’ll get tickets for "exhibition driving" if you do it on the public streets, and you’re bound to run into something eventually, in which case you’ll do suspension, body, and possibly human body damage. Get smart — don’t do any "drifting and burnouts" until you’ve had time to really learn to drive your car. That will take you most of a lifetime.

What little kid would not want a "red wagon"?

The Red Wagon

It was the day after Christmas at a church in San Francisco.
The pastor of the church was looking over the naivety when
he noticed the baby Jesus was missing from among the figures.

Immediately he turned and went outside where he saw a little
boy with a red wagon and in the wagon was the figure of the infant of Jesus.

So he walked up the the little boy and said,
"Well, where’d you get Him, my fine friend?

The little boy replied , "I got him from the church."

"And why did you take him?"

The little boy replied,
"Well about a week before Christmas I prayed to the little Lord Jesus and I told him if
he would bring me a red wagon for Christmas I would give him a ride around the block in it."

Adam’s Rib

At Sunday School they were teaching how God created everything, including human beings.
Little Johnny seemed especially intent when they told him how Eve was created out of one of Adam’s ribs.

Later in the week his mother noticed him lying down as though he were ill, and said, "Johnny what is the matter?"

Little Johnny responded, "I have a pain in my side. I think I’m going to have a wife."

I PRAY FOR…

Two young boys were spending the night at their grandparents.

At bedtime, the two boys knelt beside their beds to say their prayers when the 
youngest one began praying at the top of his lungs, "I PRAY FOR A NEW BICYCLE. 
I PRAY FOR A NEW PLAYSTATION. I PRAY FOR A NEW DVD…"

His older brother leaned over and nudged the younger brother and said, 
"Why are you shouting your prayers? God isn’t deaf."

To which the little brother replied, "No, but Gramma is!"

10 out of 10 for you plus a star because that’s what you are ha ha ha

What distance does the Wagon travel in this time?

Thursday, November 19th, 2009

A poorly tuned Wagon R can accelerate from rest to a speed of 28 m/s in 20s.
What distance does the wagon travel in this time?
How do I figure it out.

Acceleration of the wagon
= a
= (v-u).t
where v is the final speed of the wagon = 28m/s
u is the initial speed of the wagon = 0m/s
t is the time taken to accelerate from rest to 28m/s = 20s
= (28-0)/20
= 1.4

Distance that the wagon travels in this time
= S
= ut+0.5at^2
where u is the initial speed of the wagon=0m/s
t is the time taken to accelerate = 20s
a is the acceleration of the wagon = 1.4ms^(-2)
= 0*20+0.5*(1.4)*(20)^2
= 280

So, the wagon travels a distance of 280m in this time.

What’s a reasonable price to get an alternator replaced in a 1989 Volvo 240 Wagon?

Sunday, November 15th, 2009

I’m in New York City, on a tight budget, and I don’t want to pay more than I should have to.
Second option:
If it happens to be an easy repair to do yourself, could you describe to me how I would go about doing it?

It all really depends you can contact your local dealer and ask, Hope this helped!
