Non-traditional Traditional Irish Folk StuffRock/BluesIndiewww.myspace.com/whiskeyandstitcheswww.myspace.com/thestoneghostshttp://www.facebook.com/?ref=home#!/pages/Jet-Blac Whiskey and Stitches delivers kick-ass, toe-tapin' fun, with a (mostly) Irish flair. Featuring Pete Barker - bass/vocals, Mike McCarrick - guitar/vocals, Jay Raney - drums/vocals, James Wilson - mandolin/whistle/banjo/accordion/etc The Stone Ghosts put on a passionate performance that channels the roots of true rock and blues music. The energy with which they play is contagious and gives the audience a more intimate experience. With songs that are easily accessible yet hardly cookie-cutter, this band will surely have crowds bobbing their heads and tapping their feet. If a Peterbilt 18-wheeler hauling Black Rebel Motorcycle Club’s drums and guitars crashed into a Toyota Prius carrying the remains of the Minutemen’s D. Boon and some of the Dandy Warhols’ backstage furniture, what would be splashed out onto the highway is the Jet Black Popes. Their introspective, rough-around-the-edges song style is tempered with an on-stage satirical face, creating an underground yet accessible vibe. Self-described as the “non-thinking man’s Radiohead,” the band features vocalist/guitarist Kevin Johnson, bassist/vocalist Bryce Penney, guitarist/vocalist Tony Asbestos and drummer Carlos Damian. Originally formed as Whiskey Gentlemen in early 2008, the band has played at Old Ironsides, Luigi’s Fungarden and the 2009 Chalk It Up festival at Fremont Park.

Answer: GM doesn't even make a van anymore, neither does Ford. It's crazy! Your only Americans options are a Dodge Caravan or Chrysler T/C

Okay, there's a guy that wants to sell it because he got a better car. This will be my official first car that i own, the car i drive now is in my mom's name. The guy said it doesn't run currently because the spark plug coil is bad, or something to that degree, basically, the spark plugs aren't firing. It has modifications such as exhaust, engine and such. It has an straight 6 engine, automatic transmission, rear wheel drive. I have knowledge about what to do, to a degree, i'm in automotive school. I know that it'll probably need some new fluids, it's been sitting for 2-3 years. Gas, brake fluid, transmission fluid, and oil will all be replaced. Any idea on prices that i'm going to be spending or how long it'll be before it'll be running? Also, any tips on what to do everything that i need, i'll do myself, i could probably use it as a grade in school

Answer: It can also have a broken timing belt. And or the camshaft timing gear teeth have worn down to the point that the timing chain is sliding over it. Could end up being a very long term project and several hundred dollars or a quick fix for a few dollars and one day. Either way a lesson learned. If it has sat for three years I'd offer him $100-200. Good Luck!

for a 17 year old lads first car which would people pick? 1.25 ford fiesta zetec or 1.4 toyota corolla vvt-i? corolla is more powerfull but i see it as a bit of an old persons car so im not sure. it doesnt matter about costs so unless you are giving your opinion then dont bother posting. Thanks.

Answer: Well remember this these aren't performance cars so you won't be blasting down any streets anyway. So performance doesn't matter if your using it as a short travel commuter. The interior is where you will be so pick what fits your style even if it doesn't look posh on the outside (or inside for that matter). I was faced with a same problem at 18, but I realized I would have a better car latter on and it would not be my last car. Pick what you feel is best for your needs and move on, there is another car in your future.

I have a 2000 Toyota Tundra, 4.7 V8, 4WD, auto trans. I am looking to buy a starter and several are available ranging from 1.2kw to 2.0kw. Price differences are negligible. What is standard, and is there a reason to consider a more powerful starter? It appears the solenoid is part of the starter package. I haven't replaced a starter since the 80's but seem to recall the solenoid being a part that needed to be purchased separate from the starter. Did my memory fail me or do they now typically include the solenoid? I do appreciate your help. What is the standard wattage starter? I sourced several starters of different wattage in the $150-$200 range - after market rebiulds. I just need to know which wattage to pick. Available are 1200, 1400, 1800 & 2000.

Answer: The standard starter on your truck is made by Denso in the far east.. To buy a new one from Toyota will kill a $600.00 bill! Open your phone book and look for an AC-Delco distributor or dealer. They have re-manufactured starters which every part except the outer frame is 100% American brand new. These starters have a lifetime warranty and won't cost over $220.00, solenoid included. Too bad you don't have an auto-electric shop nearby that could re-build your own starter. The person above is correct. The larger or more heavy duty the starter is the more amp-draw will be placed on the battery during start-up. If you're using the correct viscosity motor oil in the motor, you actually don't need a bigger starter.

Also including a $25 oil change and a tow of less than 5 miles, I literally could have pushed ny car to the shop. They stated this price was with the tow included. I went to goodyear for this. My car is a 1998 toyota corolla. I think this price is outrageous! wow thanks so much you all have made my birthday today a much better one, much reasurance:)

Answer: First, let me say that I know a fellow who works at a Goodyear Service Center, and he admits that they charge a lot for their services. In some cases, it is actually less expensive to go to the dealer because he will take less time to make the repair and gets the parts for a lower price. Now regarding your situation. Most towing services and garage charge a flat fee, plus a cost per mile for the tow. Towing could be $70-120 just for that service. As for the starter, they are not that difficult to replace on a Corolla. It is two bolts, one located near the air cleaner tube elbow, the other on the bottom that runs through the transmission bell housing. Usually an hour's worth of work. The problem is that they have to put the car up on the lift, because you have to take the starter out through the bottom of the car. If they did not know that and took a bunch of parts out of the car, tried to lift the starter out, put a new one in, and then put all the parts back in that they moved out of the way, then that could make for a 2-3hr job. At a cost of $50-80 per hour for a mechanic, that can add a lot to the bill. If you add them all up using my estimates: Towing: $80 Oil Change: $25 New Starter: $140 2hrs Labour for all work done: $150 I'm seeing about $400 here and that is before taxes. Your bill should outline exactly the work that was done and the parts that were used and how much they cost. The garage should have given you the old parts back as proof they were changed as well (good garages do this, or ask you if you want them). If you have any concerns about the costs, then I would discuss that (calmly and reasonably) with the manager of the Goodyear franchise. If you think you are being taken advantage of, then you can report the issue to Goodyear's head office as a complaint. Too many complaints from one specific garage and they may investigate as they do not want to tarnish their image. Unfortunately, when a car breaks down, we don't always have the opportunity to pick and choose who does the work and to shop around for prices. Preventive maintenance and a good relationship with a mechanic you can trust is the key to not getting ripped off and to minimize your surprise expenses.

So....... Yeah, I have totaled up all the money I made from working in high school freshmen to senior year and have FINALLY got a car, with $5000 left over for maintenance given by my parents. I am set on a used Audi s6. It only has 15k miles too and have personally checked out the car, its fine and will draw the attention of everyone in school for senior year hehehehehehe. The car I was driving before....was a Toyota yaris used, automatic transmission. Piece of SHIT! So, I want to know how hard it is to use manual shifting gears. Of course, the Audi has tip tronic so I can choose, but how hard is it? Specifically, my question is, the highway speed limit is 75, what if you reach that speed at gear 3 lets say? Do you just stick to that gear? Won't it over rev the engine or something? Sorry if I sound dumb, its just that cars in America these days are all automatic and my dad just sold his manual accord, so i can't practice too much. Most of this; believe it or not, comes from Gran Turismo information !!

Answer: You're a new driver. You should not be driving an S6. You're going to get yourself killed. The point of selecting gears is to put the engine in its peak HP range when you need the power, and then to drop the engine RPMs as low as they can safely go when you want to maintain speed, because that saves more gas. In your scenario, you would want to keep upshifting as you accelerate to 75mph, to keep the car in its peak power band (6800rpm in the S6), and then shift into the top gear when you get to cruising speed.

the nissan frontier or the toyota tacoma. i personally like the frontier nismo edition http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.jsp?ct=u&car_id=283516155&dealer_id=553771&car_year=2005&rdm=1283399719742&lastStartYear=1981&model=FRONTI&num_records=25&systime=&make2=&highlightFirstMakeModel=&start_year=2005&keywordsfyc=__bmlzbW8%2C__&keywordsrep=110105115109111&engine=&certified=&body_code=0&fuel=&awsp=false&search_type=both&distance=0&marketZipError=false&search_lang=en&showZipError=n&make=NISSAN&keywords_display=nismo&color=&page_location=findacar%3A%3Aispsearchform&min_price=&drive=4 wheel drive&default_sort=newsortbyprice_ASC&seller_type=b&max_mileage=&style_flag=1&sort_type=priceASC&address=26554&advanced=y&end_year=2011&doors=&transmission=&max_price=&cardist=264&standard=false is this a good price or should i go with the regular one well im personally a chevy fan thank you and want a 2500HD duramax but thats past my budget so im making due. And why post something saying they are both junk.

Answer: nissan frontier the seating position seems low to me in the tacoma. I drove an older Tundra and it wasn't that much bigger or more expensive at $15,900 they are asking full retail price, it's worth closer to somewhere between high 13s to low 14s depending on condition and options they are great vehicles but you can find them cheaper

So I just bought a JL 12'' WX sub and I have a '86 Toyota extended cab pickup. I would rather not pay $80 for an enclosure and many models wouldn't work with my truck. I would prefer a ported enclosure because I mainly listen to metal and hard rock. The ideal ported volume is 1.75 cubic feet and the port length is 18.75'' which would be bent at 90°. The dimensions of where the sub would go are: Depth-8.5'' Length-30'' Height-16'' If anyone could post up the dimensions that would satisfy (or come close to) the specifications, I would greatly appreciate it.

Answer: with the size you gave you can't get 1.75 cubic foot. here is about as good as i could get on short notice. i did it as a port up, speaker forward design. go to this site. http://reaudio.com/speaker_box/LPort_Box_Calc.html enter these numbers into the RED boxes; 30 8.5 16 16 .625 ( this means 5/8 inch wood ) 2.75 8

D I am not trying to sell something I just think it is something nice to know. I love cars. Plus I am bored.

Answer: 1. A 2. C 3. D I cheated. :O

I own a Toyota Camry and it dies while idling at lights. It will start shaking after sitting idle any where from 30 seconds to about two minutes, once I try to accelerate from being stopped it immediately cuts off fuel and dies, and I'm able to restart it after about two minutes. The check engine light never came on. I had it taken into a shop. They said the EGR valve need replacing at a huge cost. It didn't seem that they knew what they were doing, so I had it sent to another shop. The second shop said that they found that the EGR valve was loose and reattached it, however this didn't solve the problem. The mechanic said it happens most often when it is humid outside. They suggested the ignition coil needed replacing and a general tune up. They gave me an estimate of $600 to fix it with parts and labor, but they didn't seem to be sure it would fix the problem. Is there anything else I should have them check? What about the IAC? What else could be done if the coil is the problem besides replacing it altogether?

Answer: Your car is running rough. It could be the IAC or spark plugs.
