Is this a standard 12 v automotive accessory socket?
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0063GA19K#produc...
I'm contemplating buying this kit but not sure if this socket is the standard 12 v power outlet or a specialized (smaller, bmw) type socket? If so, looks like I might need this kind of adapter to be able to plug in my gps into?
http://www.powerlet.com/img/productImages/primary/... Im suspecting it's called powerlet socket?
Thanks!
2 AnswersMaintenance & Repairs8 years agoMy friend's 5 y.o. son asks to touch his mother's breast. Are there any reasons for concern?
He was breastfed from birth to 9 months. Then mother was unavailable until two years old. Then another 15 months together. Another separation for a year and a half.
So given these periods of no contact, what is the appropriate and health way to answer to his requests?
Thank you in advance.

4 AnswersMaintenance & Repairs1 decade agoSpark plug wires (new) vs old. Resistance difference! What's better for the engine?
95 nissan Altima. Thinking of replacing spark plug wires (hadnt been done by me since getting the car in 2001).
The new premium wires from Napa. Resistance check shows value from 0.15 - 0.34 kOhm (1,500 - 3,400 ohm).
My old wires have much higher resistance: around 9,5 k Ohm (9,500 ohm), that's for the long one. The shortest ignition wire is only 2.85 kohm.
What effect does the little resistance have on the spark at the spark plug and load of the coil and distributor contacts.
Should I replace the wires? Any improvement with the low resistance ones? Why such a major difference? The value for the car is 10-25 kiloohms. The old ones are not damages visually but have been in for 8 years at least and for over 50-60k miles at least.
Please explain your answer. Thank you!

3 AnswersCamping1 decade agoAfter three attempts of my car being stole, I made the following mods. Do you think it's safe now?
It's a 95 honda accord and here in Los Angeles, some car jackers tried to steal it three times.
Now I installed a master steering wheel lock, an alarm with starter kill switch, and will take out the fuses, some relays, and ignition wires before leaving it on the street overnight. How safe do you think it is now?
What else would you recommend to get done?

Before filtering tap water with the Brita pitcher, I let it stand in an open jar for up to 9 hours. Will this water contain much less chlorine after 9 hours compared to fresh water from the tap?
