    Should I tow a 3000 lb vehicle with my small sedan?

    My friend has a 3000 lb vehicle which needs to be towed. My vehicle is a front wheel drive 6 cylinder sedan that weighs about 3000 lbs. According to the manual my car isn't supposed to tow more than 1000 lbs of weight. I do not have a hitch installed. He only wants to tow the vehicle for...

    Are you required to use your personal automobile for your job?

    Yes, they are different things, but both are about requiring an automobile. Some jobs actually require their employees to drive to work (in contract) or they make it extremely difficult for them not to drive to work. For example: there might be a a job that has multiple clients and they make...

    Are you required to use your personal automobile for your job?

    As long as they don't state in their hiring contract that you must drive to work or as long as they don't require you to use your car while at work, then you don't need a car for work.

    Are you required to use your personal automobile for your job?

    I guess both of those would count in this case. That whole business/personal assets thing gets iffy if you are your own business.

    Are you required to use your personal automobile for your job?

    Are you required to use your own automobile to perform duties of your job or does your employer require you to drive to work? If you are your own boss, please use the "work independently options". The policy is iffy at my job (not required but strongly urged to have one) and I am curious to...

    How do I tell if my battery is charged?

    I have an old Sears battery charger. It charges at 6 amps and 12 volts. It has a meter that reads 0-8 DC amps. I plugged in my car battery due to some car startup behavior that lead me to believe it was low on juice (I don't drive much). Initially it was at about 2 amps. From what I...

    Is it possible to abandon land?

    Suppose you own a piece of property somewhere and you have no desire to sell it to another party. You don't want to be the owner either because you don't want to pay taxes on it. Is it possible to get rid of the land in such a way that it gets turned back to the city or county? I realize...

    Will this tree survive?

    I am not sure if there are very many landscapers here, but today I had a relative that was helping me remove some small trees in my yard. He made a mistake and started to cut down a tree that I did not want him to remove. He was using a non-electric tree saw and cut about halfway into a tree...

    Pushing a stalled car while it's in drive

    The transmission had to have been broke or something. I cant think of any other explanation. I think the driver of the car was confused and giving me false information. But I did hear the engine running and when she rev'd it, nothing happened. All I know is that it was a lot of work and...
