Probably if you know nothing.
You should get the service manual for your car though as well.
>>
Get a repair manual specifically for the vehicle you own at the moment.
You'll get step-by-step instructions with info on all the tools you need.
By doing stuff to that car you learn more about how to work on other cars, too.
>>
If all you are interested in is maintenance then it's probably fine, although that information is probably available freely on the internet.
If you're interested in actually working on stuff and fixing stuff then you want to just go straight to the service manual for your car (600+ pages)

Do you think drivers license should have sex offender in bold letters for those on the sex offender registry ? Y/N and why?

Nope. Most sex offenders aren't actually rapists or kidnappers or whatever.

Should just be tattooed on their faces

No. Some were pissing in public. That would be retarded. Plus who would see it besides the police? Or maybe if you're buying beer.
The police would already know when they pull your record anyway.

do u think their will ever be a race class were their is literally no ceiling on the engineering the company can put into their car. meaning like no limit of horse power or use of technology everything is allowed, as long as the vehicle has a roll cage.
does this already exist?
something like a 24 hour of le mans but without limits on the cars.
?

>>14061622
I read an article about how cool it would be to have a completely unlimited class where there were no rules on what you could do to your car.
It went to say how, in a race like that, the track would have to 'make the rules', ie, have parts of the track be upside down, make ridiculous turns where you'd have to slow down or your driver would pass out, a washboard section, etc etc.

what would happen if you put that blue 100 octane aviation gasoline in a normal car or bike engine?

>>14056696
Knock resistance. But it also contains lead, so it might do something screwey to modern engines not designed for it.
>>
apart from the lead, not much. i feed my car 99 octane so that should not be an issue
>>
Wouldn't lead contaminate your oxygen sensors and catalyst?

So im driving down the road with an 07 cobalt sedan when suddenly i lose the engine and stall out, had it for about a month. i pull to the side of the road and try to start it, it turns but wont turn on. After an hour or so, i try again and it turns on, im able to make it about a mile before it stalls again. Eventually i get it to my garage and begin trying to figure it out. Im able to get lights so i dont think its the battery, just it case it was hooked to a charger for several hours. i was able to get two misfire codes but i got 50-60 on fuel pressure, i then replace both cam sensor and the accelerating pedal sensor thinking it might be the problem because i dont think they would throw up a code, also put in new plugs and cleaned up the throttle body, could it be that throttle position sensor? i did other shit but nothing seems to work
Anywho TL;DR OP's car is fucked and suggestions will lead to rewards in the afterlife

Take it to a mechanic and have them scan it and do a proper diagnosis. The sensors for the Cams are common but you could even have a shitty one out of the box and not know it unless you graph it on a scan tool. You shouldn't clean the throttle body of an electronic controlled throttle because it fucks the sensor up.

Herro.
Im european and I want a used street bike. Id like a lightweight one, under 95hp for licensing reasons, I don't dig naked even though it wouldnt be a problem, I want it fast and preferably 2 stroke because I love the sound and low weight. Pic related would be perfect but it is expensive for me (€2000 is already a bit too much for me). What do.

This is a legitimate question that I hope FF drivers can answer without being butthurt.
If FF is better than FR? why are all performance cars either AWD or FR, or MR but never FF?
