Our son visited us this past weekend he drove his wife's mothers car to our house from out of state. During his stay we had a huge hail storm and it made some dents in the vehicle and broke the side mirrors. They then drove back home and called us to ask if our homeowners policy might cover it. I explained that homeowner policy's and auto insurance are two different things and that it needs to be claimed on their insurance. My feelings is that if a part of the house or a tree would have landed on the vehicle it May, be covered but my thoughts are that this is their auto policy claim as the vehicle was only parked and could have been damaged where it was parked anywhere in the area during the storm. Anyone have any experience with something like this?

I have a computer that I upgraded to the windows 7 operating system it was previously running on windows XP and was giving multible errors and needed a clean installation so I decided to just purchase windows 7. Everything is working fine except that the wireless card will not work. It is a Lynksys wmp54g and I cannot find any way to get windows 7 to recognize it. I have found sites that claim to have a fix but what I need is to download any software onto a thumb drive and transfer it to the desktop computer. Any help would be appreciated.

2005 F250 Ford Truck and a 2001 Ram 1500 Dodge truck. What brand of Shock is good, KYB, Rancho? or other? If so why if you know.

Thanks

I have a fairly large selection of sockets in my tool box. Is there anyone who knows if anyplace sells some sort of sticker that that has all the sizes on it that I can just peel off and place on each socket to identify the sizes in readable, bigger print?, the sizes are etched into each socket but they are hard to see making it necessary to waste time to make sure I have grabbed the correct size by rolling them in the light until I can see the etching(s).

I just bought a F250 Powerstroke, it has no owners manual, I bought it used of course. I am looking for the plug to plug it in for when winter starts, I have looked all over for it, anyone have an idea as to where I may find it under the hood?

I am looking to buy a truck soon, but even though I see supposed deals in the paper from dealers I find out that they still want full price even when they advertise trucks for 13,000 to 15,000 dollars off saying they are doing so because of the tuff economy. What I find out though is that they still want and expect top dollar. What gives? Is it really a good time to buy ? What are the thoughts of the Yahoo community. Where are the best deals to be found? I want to buy used maybe a couple of years old, American made, like a Ford, Dodge or Chevrolet.

I have a 2002 Impala LS with 134,000 miles on it. This car has always given good service and has never been a problem. But the other weekend I was cleaning out the garage and parked the car outside. It was about 90 degrees out and when I started the car to put it back in the garage, the security light stayed on. The next morning I started the car and the light was off as I drove to work the security light came back on. I drove to work this morning and it stayed off. When I left work the car would not start, it acted like it had a dead battery, but the battery is fine. After a rainstorm came through our area and cooled the area off the car started right up, but the security Light stayed on again. I called a Chevrolet dealer and he said that it may be a fuel pressure regulator problem and asked if it did this when it was hot outside. I said yes that seems to be when this is happening.

Anyone have any ideas on this?

I have a Linksys WRTU54G-TM wireless router, I can access the router setup page through my web browser (Internet explorer) But I cannot seem to get this thing enabled so that the wireless is secure. I want to set it up so that my neighbor's or anyone else driving by cannot use it, but that I can still do so on my desktop and laptop, both are using wireless.

Thanks, plain language please, I am not an IT person, just a regular guy.

I have just bought a house and the lawn sprinkler system has a few impact heads that will need to be replaced. What is the Yahoo community's thoughts on which products are best and why, ie, warranty, reliability for the future and pricing. Right now all are Maxi Paw impact sprinklers and I am using irrigation water to irrigate 1 Acre

I am in the process of buying a house. It is a foreclosure and a realty company is representing Fannie Mae and has it listed. "As Is" During the first contract the house inspection was put off once for a quality control check of the records. I re-scheduled my inspector, then I paid $125.00 to have the water turned on (that was part of the deal as the house was winterized, and was to be re-winterized following inspection)

The house was scheduled to be inspected on the 14th of February. Then at 3:30 p,m, on Friday the 13th I get a call that the water was turned on a quickly shut off due to a water leak that was caused by freezing weather because they winterized late (They needed to have legal access to the house before going in to winterize and there was freezing weather before they could do so) At this point in order to proceed I had to cancel the contract as I had till 5 p.m. or I would stand the chance of loseing my earnest money. I also had to call off my house inspector again. I went back to the house with my realtor that following Monday only to find out that it was a minor elbow on a basement pipe that had froze that was adjacent to an exterior wall, really no big deal. On Tuesday I resubmitted my original offer and asked that it simply (the leak) be repaired and the I had to start the process all over. In the maentime the listing agent knew I was re-submitting my offer due to a misunderstanding as to what the damage was as they gave me only an hour and a half to make a decision while I was at work and could not leave before 5 p.m. to go out and look at it. I resubmitted my original offer, only to find that he relisted the house on MLS, lowered the price by $7,100 dollars and put flyers in the box reflecting such a price the very same day he got my resubmitted offer, with the same MLS listing number. They still have my earnest money check and I have been told my offer was sent to Fannie Mae again and is in process. I expected an answer by Friday, but was told it would maybe come Monday. My wife and I really want this house and are all approved and ready to still close on the 12th of March as was the original date to close and the listing agent says that when we pulled out it put him in a bad situation, I say it has been them doing so.

What are the thoughts out there?

We wish to buy a house and found a bank repossession on the market, when I had the water turned on for the house inspection and I was called and told that there was a water leak probably due to the fact that the house was not winterized soon enough. And that we needed to put the inspection off for now. We have now rescinded our offer because I am afraid that even if the leak is fixed that there will be other leaks popping up down the road. This will make me fearful and worried while we are at work or on vacation. I am also worried that there is a compromise in the plumbing and that there could be a very slight spray coming from a joint in the pipes and cause mold before I discover it. My realtor AND Mortgage broker do not seem to agree, but we are not willing to take a risk at this.

I work at a company and there are persons that I have to interface with for doing day to day buisiness. When myself or other co-workers need things done and they give us incomplete paperwork it seems almost impossible to get them to correct it. They run and up-channel to management anything they do not want to do. I will give you a small example. The other day they wanted me to certify an item for use that I am required to stamp off on as a useable traceable part. When I brought up the fact that they gave me a document without a date on the document I asked them to see if they could call the vendor and ask if they could send a dated document. I was told they would work on doing so. After about 30 minutes had passed I was asked by my boss what the problem was and I explained to him that it did not have a date on it and I asked them to try and make a calll and get one provided. I dont have time to do this, and our procedures state when this happens to go back and return the documents to the person that gave it to you. Then i am to continue processing parts that are complete as far as documents and paperwork are concerned. My boss and I made a phone call across country and got them to send one to us in just a few minutes. My boss said sometimes you just have to take the path of least resistance. I asked him why this group does this (Up-channeling small issues to management) He does not know but thinks it is easier and quicker to not ruffle thier feathers. My feelings are that they need to stop the back stabbing and learn to play on the team. This group is part of the "smoking outside break" group and Nobody else can do any good, just they can. They have managed to cause employees to quit and have also caused much grief, management seems to not stand up to them, AND takes thier side like everyone but them have a problem. Anyone know they best way to deal with this behavior?

I went through some tough times and for a while was unable to pay all that I owed. I am paying everyone back now and have paid my car off and have another car I am almost ready to pay off. I have some dings on my credit report and it lowered my credit score. I still have one more credit card to pay off and it has bad information on me but I will be paying it off. My question, is my credit score gradually going up or will it continue down because of late reports on just one credit card?

I was driving around doing errands today and when I left one store I noticed that the transmission was starting to shift hard. I pulled over and shut the car off for a minute, then restarted it. I checked the transmission fluid and it was fine. It was changed about 300 miles ago and had a new filter installed (Fram) and refilled with Valvoline Dexron III fluid. after restarting the car it has been fine ever since then without any more issues. I went to the auto parts store and they recommended I put in a bottle of LUCAS transmission conditioner, has anyone used this Lucas stuff before. I am no longer having an issue, should i use it anyway, and if so why? The car has 108,000 miles on it. The transmission has been serviced regularly and does not slip or anything. Just had this transient issue.

I have an Impala and one of the radio button(s) light bulb has burned out,no big deal, and also one side of the dual climate control bulb, are these hard to get to to replace, does anyone know if the radio has to be pulled and if so how?

I know their job is important, but I always thought they fell under a different type of Veteran status, one of their own brotherhood and not the United States Government. And after they retired or were injured.

Been using Mobil 1 in my car for last 100,000 miles, however I am seeing all oil rise in price, especially Mobil 1. I can get Valvoline synthetic for almost eight (8) dollars cheaper per oil change. Any insight on if this makes a huge difference (except for price of course) in changing to Valvoline synthetic or is it best to just stay the course and why you believe so. Thanks

Anyone know where to get car parts cheaper than the standard Checker or Auto Zone, ie shock struts, etc.
