Why do people keep posting unrelated comments in the Peking Boulevard category?
Favourite answer:I know, right? I think this section is full of trolls who keep making comments about other airplanes and matters that are clearly unrelated to the Peking Boulevard. I wish they would just go away. I am reporting every single one of their irrelevant responses.

What would have happened if the Titanic struck the iceberg head on directly?
Instead of what actually happened- they turned and the iceberg struck the sides and punched holes in the side.
The front of the ship is sharp and pointy, so wouldn't it just "cut through" and split the iceberg? Or would the front of the ship be wrecked and sink the ship even faster?

Should I care about rusted-out brake dust shields?
I have a 2005 Toyota and the dust shields are reduced to nearly nothing. Replacing them, especially, the rear ones, is a big job even though the part is cheap. Is there a strong reason to throw a lot of money at this "problem"?

Can the average car run on liquor?
Let’s say it’s the apocalypse and there is no gas. If I were to go to the liquor store and fill the gas tank of my car up with liquor, will it run?

Why does my car battery keep dying?
I recently changed the intake air temp sensor
in my 04 Acura TL. The car started up and ran fine for the whole night. I noticed when I got home as soon as I shut the car off my battery died, I know cause when I hit my power locks it was unresponsive. Tried starting the car the next day and needed a jump. I got it jumped and left the car the running for at least 30 min before shutting it off. My battery and alternator are basically brand new so could the sensor be faulty and be draining my battery?

do people who park their vehicles all night on their steep driveways not worry about the vehicle rolling out of gear? why?
i seen pictures of people parked on their driveway and it is steep incline , but they just leave them all night like that, is it not hard on the transmission at least or the parking brake? should you put your parking brake on FIRST before putting it in gear or vice versa ? why?

What's a good car to start with?
Favourite answer:Whichever vehicle meets the most of your wants and needs from a vehicle while still fitting within your budget.
I also suggest that you phone an insurance agent or broker to get insurance quotes for each vehicle after you've narrowed down your choices to 2 or 3 finalists. Insurance premiums can vary wildly between vehicles and an insurance quote may help you decide on which vehicle to finally pick.
Assuming you're going for a used vehicle, also have a dealer or shop inspect the vehicle you're serious about buying before you finalize the deal. This is your best protection against being saddled with unanticipated repairs within the foreseeable future.

Are people going to make fun of me if I drive a kia suv?
I'm gonna put a lot of miles on it. So, I figured best put a bunch of miles on a cheaper suv.
If I buy a nicer expensive car I'm going to put so many miles on it

Let my oil level get low, replaced it with the wrong stuff and now I have acceleration issues... How screwed am I..?
So I was driving my 2014 Subaru Forester to work when the "low oil" light came on (the Subaru has a low oil light AND a low pressure light, it was just low oil so i figured i could make it to work)
I drove about 10 miles more, parked it at work and then replaced it after I finished. But it needs 0w-20 and I used 5w-30.
I drove it home 55 miles (about an hour by highway) and at the end of the drive, it has trouble going up hills without jerking. It doesn't sound like it's going to stall but it feels jerky...
I since replaced the oil properly, draining out the bad and putting in 0w-20.
How screwed is the engine..? Can anything be done short of an engine replacement..?

Hissing coming from brake?
I'm not sure if this hissing noise is a sign of a bad brake booster, master cylinder or vacuum hose. My brake system works fine even since the hissing started. The brake pedal isn't tensing up on me and I'm not flooring it out either. The hissing stops when I press the brake all the way down, but hisses non stop while driving. Any ideas on what I should replace? I'd hate to replace the brake booster just to find out it's a totally different issue.

How does AWD torque splitting work?
Favourite answer:Under hard acceleration the weight of the car shifts to the rear as the torque causes the front end to rise. If you don't limit the torque to the front wheels the front tires will break loose. Since many AWD systems use the brakes to control wheel spin, preventing it in the first place by shifting torque to the rear wheels will allow for harder controlled acceleration. Still, having both axles applying torque allows more rubber to grip the pavement. How this is accomplished depends on the specific vehicle. Some now drive one axle with electric motors, some use viscous coupling and some use electro-mechanical means to shift torque front or rear.

What’s the rail called that lets the seats in a car go backwards and forwards, for leg room?
I’m obese, and majority of my weight is in my abdomen and it’s getting where I can barely fit behind the wheel. I’m gonna start booking appointments to see about getting this weight off me and that’ll require long drives. What do I need to make the driver seat go even further back? I need maybe 4 or 5 more inches maybe more.
