Women's pants rarely have pockets and most, when they do, are too shallow to use!  I is very important for a woman to have her keys in her hand when she goes from building to a car. It is protect herself from would be assilants by broadcasting that this is someone who as a definite place of safty (ie a locked car!).  Puting keys and walet looks ugly! It breaks the lines and makes you rear look wide as a cows!   Also, to have the habits that work for any clothing situation, the pruse functions no mater what you are wearing! (even nude or a bikni)  A women's suit coat is lucky to have 2 pockets (2 on the outside, none on the inside). I have men's coats that have as much as 6 pockets! This is definitally not fair!!!  As one that wears both men's and women's clothes, I can tell you, women's clothes have few if any funtional pockets!  When dressed as a man, I put my wallet on my inside coat pocket and my keys in a coat outside pocket. It is much more covenent than the pants pockets and looks better.  Having a car that unlocks quickly and locks back fast is paramout to a woman's safty. Men don't see this as a problem. A woman is aware of this every time she goes out! (i.e. Image some red necks yelling at you "We are going to FUCK YOU!" and the out weight you by 20 lbs and have 3 inches in hight on you!)  If you want to find out why a women does something, LIVE AS ONE!

Thanx Craig.... in addition to Craigs coments - and to clear up any  further confusion.... the 200SX (of USA) was reffered to as a Silvia Turbo in the UK.... performance figures of UK 200SX are:
We have seen lots of discussion on automobile engine configuration. Let me ask  a similar question from the aviation field. You must have seen images of prop  planes with all cylinders exposed. I have seen up to 8 cylinders positioned  radially in a circular fashion with the prop at the center of the circle.  This arrangement always brings up a geometric dilemma. How can one crankshaft  throw accomodate 8 rods or are the pistons displaced but not visible from the  outside.

Under the older procedures, it still   rates closer to 225 hp.  That means that the Mustang has 3 hp more.    And you still haven't posted any weight figures for the Mustang.   > Big threat.

I agree.  Six hour long stretches behind the wheel really make me thirsty, especially for something with caffeine.  I consider it a failing of my car that it has no cup holder nor anywhere to put a cup holder.
After a tip from Gary Crum (crum@fcom.cc.utah.edu) I got on the Phone with "Pontiac Systems" or "Pontaic Customer Service" or whatever, and inquired about a rumoured Production Hold on the Formula Firebird and Trans Am.  BTW, Talking with the dealer I bought the car from got me nowhere.  After being routed to a "Firebird Specialist", I was able to confirm that this is in fact the case.  At first, there was some problem with the 3:23 performance axle ratio. She wouldn't go into any details, so I don't know if there were some shipped that had problems, or if production was held up because they simply didn't have the proper parts from the supplier.  As I say, she was pretty vague on that, so if anyone else knows anything about this, feel free to respond.  Supposedly, this problem is now solved.  Second, there is a definate shortage of parts that is somehow related to the six-speed Manual transmission.  So as of this posting, there is a production hold on these cars.  She claimed part of the delay was not wanting to use inferior quality parts for the car, and therefore having to wait for the right high quality parts...  I'm not positive that this applies to the Camaro as well, but I'm guessing it would.  Can anyone else shed some light on this?

Wharf Wrat rites:  >They were designed for speeds of upwards of 80 - I forget the >exact spec - but for military vehicles.  That's 80 in a 1958 Dodge  >Powerwagon.  Not 80 in a 1993 Ford Taurus.  Ever' once in a while, you still see a reference to the super- slab system as "Interstate and Defense Highways."  But whether the military has much of anything that goes 80 on the road is another matter.  A few of their most whomped-up diesel trucks, maybe, load permitting.  The military surplus stuff I've driven -- "Jeep Classic" (Willys/Kaiser/AMC, pre-independent suspension) and Power Wagons (Slant 6 in a crew-cab pickup) weren't exactly congenial at highway speeds, and I wouldn't swear any of them would do 80 except as a bedload on a semi.  You just gotta love the standard military tire, too, or at least the one they used to use.  Designed circa WW II as a compromise between traction in icky sticky goo and longevity on sharp rocks and so forth, it's quite ill-adapted to high speeds on civilian roadways.  For those who can't remember what they look like, imagine a mountain-bike tire with a road rib in the middle, scaled up to car size. Oh, yeah, and narrow too. One of the standard mods for civilizing a surplus  Jeep was to install tires and wheels that reflected some of the advancements made in ride and handling since D-Day.  But the point made by Wharfie and others still stands:  if you're going to do 80 in a mil-spec '58 Power Wagon (or a Jeep or a tank transporter or other unwieldy rubber-tired vehicle) anywhere, I'd suggest the American interstate.   Your safe speed there tends to be limited more by your car and skills, road maintenance, and the swarms of fools around you; the roads were designed for going like the devil.  Naturally, neither I nor my employer advocates unsafe or unlawful driving.

Shaz,  Hmm.. but the service indicators that I have works this way:   There are 5 green,1 yellow, 1 red indicators.   initially all green indicators will be on for few minutes when you start   your car. The computer will actually "sense" how you drive your car and   as time goes by the green indicators will start to go off one by one and   then the yellow indicator will turn on and then the red indicator will go   on. And you should get service when by the time green indicators are off.      After service the mechanic(or you) will reset the service indicators and the   computer starts counting again.  So I expect to have a tool(or a procedure) to reset it so the green lights will  come on and the yellow and red lights will go off.  I wonder how people can do oil change themself without knowing how to reset the indicator.  It's the first european car I have and changing oil at 15,000 miles is a  surprise to me. and it's a big plus :-). But I wonder how that could happen since the oil lose its lubrication ability over time, I thought it's the oil and not the vehicle that determines how often we should change oil.  Any BMW owner on the net? Response welcomed.  PS.  my initial question is "how do you seset the service indicator of a BMW"

The road surface isn't much different to a typical TX freeway. They are better in terms of lighting, safety, signs, roadmarkings etc. I'd have no problem driving 130 on most US freeways, as it is, I save it for the backroads, which really are more likely to be dangerous.  >than most of the roads here.

I don't recall any US freeway, without road damage warnings, that i would regard as unsafe at 130 in any decent, well damped car. Note that my definition of decent, well damped, would exclude most typical American sedans.  >drive quickly and they say my Probe will do 130, but that's 30 more >than I've ever tried in it cause there isn't a decent enough piece >of road hereabouts.  I don't know where you live, but I would be much more worried about cops, other traffic etc. than the road surface at 130. It just isn't that fast or that dangerous. If you have a Probe GT, no problem. The 4cyl models I have driven would be likely to be unpredictable at higher speeds.

QUESTION: what's your experience with car wash wax?  This is the liquid type of wax in bottles that you pour it in water, sponge it on you car, hose it off, and dry it with cloth. Many people have used it. It is very easy to work with and gives seeminly the same visual results as that of paste type of wax.  But, does it last long? Does it have any negative effects to car paint?  Can you forward your reply directly to my email id? Thanks.
Does anyone know the performance ratings for a 1992 or 1993 5.0 L HO Mustang LX like the 0-60 time 1/4 mile and top end ??? Also can you tell me which magazine where these #'s come from so I can look them up if possable ????  If you could the year and month and eveen page # if you have it.
Save youself the cash.  Take it from a BMW mechanic.  Idiot lights are for just that.  Buy yourself a ballpoint pen and write it down yourself.  Change your oil every 3000 mi. and you will be just fine.

Yes, but then someone would have no problem draining your oil in a parking lot.  all they have to do is reach underneath, turn a valve, and forget the trip  home. But there is less likelyhood they have a wrench with them.  I personally recommend, installing a 'special' locking drain plug to keep vandals away. :---)
