well at my ranch we have this old Chevrolet blazer it doesnt have a cover for the back so its like a truck but i needs work the inside is dirty the seats are dirty and torn up and the tires are bad and it just needs work…my dad said they were going to fix it up and try to sell it but i asked him if i could have it and ill fix it up and keep it and he said the olny problem is where to put it (so he doesnt want it at our house)

so how much is it for me to put it in storage?
btw i live in san antonio texas
just give me a range of howw much it will be
and do you pay monthy or yearly or a one time fee usually?
okayy i cant afford a garage since i dont have a job since im not oln enough lol…the reason my dad probably doesnt want it in our driveway is because it wont be used rite now since i cant legally use it but im going to convince him because its a free car and he wont have to pay for anything i will and he will have to buy me a car anyway when i do turn 16 so i can get to work and this way he wont be paying for it and its not that long b4 i turn 16

Does Size Matter When it Comes to Custom Rims and Tires?

Yes it does. However, before one delves further into the subject, one has to understand tire codes. Altering a vehicle’s tire sizes, unlike customizing truck floor mats, dashboard covers, and car seat covers, is not something to be taken lightly.

Unfortunately, a lot of people can’t make heads or tails out of the codes labeled on their tires and therefore do not know what “P225/50R16 91S” means. Tire codes are very important if one intends to change his or her vehicles tires. Unlike changing <a rel=”nofollow” onclick=”javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview(‘/outgoing/article_exit_link’);” href=”http://www.seatcoversunlimited.com/Seat-Covers-p-1-c-248.html”>truck floor mats</a>, changing tires without knowledge of what one is doing could bring about adverse affects. Here’s a breakdown of the sample tire codes:

•    The “P” means the tire is meant for passenger vehicles like mini vans cars, small trucks, and SUVs.
•    The “225” is the measurement of the widest point of the tire’s outer sidewall to the widest point of its inner sidewall when installed.
•    The “50” is the percent of the sidewall height relative to the width. (In this example, since the width is 225 millimeters, the sidewall height from the rim to the tread is 112.5mm)
•    The “R” denotes how the internal construction of the tire was fabricated. In this example, “R” means radial.
•    The “16” is the size of the rim.
•    The “91S” is the service description of the tires. The “91” is the number that rates how much load the tires can handle. (The “91” in this example means that the tire can handle 1356 pounds.) The bigger the number, the greater the tire’s capacity.
•    The “S” is the tire’s speed rating. (An “S” speed rating denotes that the tire can operate safely at speeds up to 112 miles per hour. The further down the alphabet, the higher the velocities that are safe for the tire.)

So what does this all mean? Typically, a car that’s made for speed will have a wider width with a low alphabet letter (generally W, Y, or Z) and a low percentage of sidewall for optimal handling and steering capabilities. A passenger vehicle, meanwhile, will have a medium width and a higher percentage of sidewall for a more luxurious style.

Tinkering with tires without knowledge about tire sizes is a dangerous thing to do. Here are some of the reasons:

•    Odometers and speedometers are calibrated based on the height of a vehicle’s tires. Taller tires make speedometers read slower than the actual speed of the vehicle.
•    More recent vehicles have built-in computers that base calculations on the height of a vehicle’s tires. Changing tires could result to a vehicle’s components malfunctioning.
•    Stock suspension systems could suffer additional stress with taller tires, resulting in accelerated wear, tear, and/or failure. If one makes substantial changes in tire height, one should upgrade and bolster the vehicle’s stock suspension.

Below is a list of different tire sizes and what <a rel=”nofollow” onclick=”javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview(‘/outgoing/article_exit_link’);” href=”http://www.seatcoversunlimited.com/Dash-Covers-p-1-c-249.html”>vehicle classes</a> should use them.

•    34″ x 8″ – Class “A” Motorhome
•    31-1/4″ x 12″ – Class “C” Motorhome
•    30 3/4″ x 10″ – Isuzu Rodeo, Honda Passport
•    29-3/4″ x 8″ – Blazer II 4X4, Jeep Wagoneer
•    30″ x 10″ – Jeep Liberty
•    29″ x 8″ – Econoline 150 GM ½ Ton, Dodge Raider, Chevy Van
•    35″ x 12 -1/2″ – Hummer H2
•    27″ x 8″ – S10 Blazer, Cherokee Laredo 4X4, GMC S15, Honda CRV
•    25-1/2″ x 8″ = M – Astro, Safari, Geo Tracker
•    24″ x 8″ – Pop-up Campers
•    21 1/2″ x 8″ – Pop-up Campers
•    32-1/4″ x 12″ – Off Road Extra Wide Tires

I spent the weekend working on my truck, new temp and ammeter, installed my cd player, buckets seats on custom built mount, changed the oil and replaced a u-joint. after i was all done, my dad and i ran into town, on the way in, we noticed the temp gauge was not coming up, i had tested it in the garage and it worked fine. we thought this was rather odd, the heater has always worked really well in this truck. my dad suggested i slowed down and ran in 2nd gear for awhile and work the engine ( 4-speed). i down shifted to 3rd and slowed down and then went for 2nd, i was apparently going a lil faster then i thought and barked the tires and over revved the engine, i quickly clutched and popped it back into 3rd, with in the few seconds, the truck died. i tried to restart it both with the starter and by bump starting it. we ended up dragging the truck home and did the following:
replaced ignition module with known good-no start

checked coil ( 2 plug, 4 wire) and found continuity between all 4 pins (is this right?)

checked ammeter wiring ( i tapped into the lead off the battery up to the distribution block on the fire wall) found the connector i had installed at the distribution block was loose, but i still had full cab power.

i retrieved trouble codes manually ( i messed up the first time and jumped the top 2 pins on the left, i corrected myself and only got code 12 i left it run for some time to make sure. this bothers me as i have owned this truck for a year now and it has always had a check engine light on. it would go off and come on all the time, i ignored it because the truck ran fine.

it has no spark, the fuel pump runs, we did not crack a line to check for pressure, but i replaced the pump last spring. however we never see fuel spray while cranking, should we?

we also noticed the AIC was noisy and seems to run constantly until you try to start. this seems odds. i don;t know a lot about the tbi system i am learning as i go. i prefer points or HEI, i need help on this, this is my "good" truck, for now i have to drive smokey, the oil belching and spewing 74′ with the leaking rear pinon, please help.

I got a 91 Toyota mr2 that I scrapped parts off. I’m taking out the engine and trans, along with suspension. No rear tires. I stripped the interior and a couple of wiring harnesses retains a steering wheel with airbag, interior carpeting, and seats, drivers side door panel, heater core, dash harness.. windshield is cracked but all other glass including t-tops are fine. mr2s are rare so they’ll be sought after a bit more. no tailights

How much would you pay for a 1991 Mazda 626? The car has 185,000 miles, no cd or radio (it was taken out and can easily be reinstalled), 4 new tires, nice rims, decent interior, sun roof, power locks don’t work (kind of annoying), ac and heater work, no leaks, new paint job, automatic seat belts (kind of annoying), looks really nice, may need a few minor repairs in the near future, new brakes. I know that Kelly Blue Book sets the price at 1200 but how much would you say this car is worth from what you know…?

for climate control don’t light up at night either (both light issues are on the driver side) and my heated seat does not work as well (again on the driver side). The lights will turn on but it does not get hot. I have a feeling it has something to do with a tripped wire somewhere because its all on the same side of the car? Also, when I turned my heater on yesterday it blows out semi warm air, barely warm at all. I feel my car is falling apart! I have a vibration now after I had my tires rotated I think the must have lost a weight! I loved this car but now its a pain someone please help me!

Chapter One Outline
I’ve lived my whole live in the same house, In a town where I knew most people, In a school that I loved and my friends loved me. I love North Carolina and the ocean and the atmosphere in the air when ever I walked out of the house. It is suppose to be my junior year of high school and I don’t want to move and have to start “kindergarten” all over. You know what I mean, like having to meet a whole bunch of new people all at once and get in the swing of things all over again. It was suppose to be the year of picking my college and going to junior prom and dating and making memories that will last forever. No, instead I am moving to Minnesota.
The reason is, is because my Grandma is very sick. We need to take care of her. My mom says she doesn’t have much time left and we need to spend as much time with her as possible. I’ve only met her once and it was a long time ago. She had flown to NC in a giant jacket, expecting the weather to be cold. She was wrong of course. I vowed I would never be caught dead living in a place where u had to wear 2 sweaters and a heavy coat to keep warm. That was 2 years ago. Now she can barely even get out of bed let alone fly out to North Carolina.

Smoosh. The sound of snow on the tires made my stomach uneasy. I wrapped my arms around my stomach hoping to stop the feeling from coming back. I look out the window. The suburban town was covered with a new sleet of snow that continued fall. I examined the individual snow flakes that landed on the window. They resembled the paper mashie snowflakes we made in art class when I was in 2nd grade for Christmas. When we finished them the teacher hung them to the ceiling. She said that’s what it looked like when it snowed in real life. She was wrong.
“yay! We are almost here!”My mom looked at me with too eager eyes and patted me on my leg gesturing me to get excited. From the backseat. My parents didn’t even look like my parents. They both sported a large winter coat with ear muffs and gloves. They wore matching snow pants and hiking boots. I on the other hand had rejected all my gear and put it on the seat next to me. I refused to wear the obese sized snow pants and opted for my gray sweatpants and tight green sweater that my mom always tell me to throw away because it’s too small.
“Darla is so exited to finally meet you!” Kat peered at me through the rearview mirror.
“I know. You’ve said that like ten times now” I rolled my eyes, they were hidden behind my huge Nicole Richie styled sunglasses. I used them to block out the bright snow that was like reflectors to the sun but they also came in handy, while hiding my teenage angst. Smoosh. I put my headphones on my ears to block out the nauseating sound.
Darla Thorn is my mom’s best friend. She is originally from Minnesota. They have been friends since high school, but when mom met my dad while he was on a business trip, they started dating and she moved to North Carolina with him. Ever since then Darla and mom have been sending pictures and chatting on Facebook daily.
We are moving into the house next to Darla’s house. Darla had told Kat about the house for sale. My parents say it’s a sign sent from heaven, because they had been looking for houses close to Grandma Sandra’s hospital for months. More like a sign sent from hell.
The car turned a few corners as I watched out the window. The houses were close together and on every street someone was outside shoveling the driveway or sidewalks. I don’t understand why they are doing this when it’s still snowing outside. Can’t they wait? Finally my dad drove into the drive way. I wish I could just go inside turn up my radio and go to sleep for the next two years. My dad barely stopped the car as mom swung open the passenger side door and ran towards the thorns garage. I assumed it was Darla and her husband standing inside the open garage huddled by a heater. They must have been waiting for us.
“Darla! Scott! We are finally home-” My mom sang as she hugged them. Blah blah blah…
Dad turned off the car flickered his eyes, trying to see my expression in his rearview mirror. He knew how I felt about moving. He also knew how much my mom wanted to live here.
“Look I know how much you hate this, but it will get better. We need to be here for grandma-” I cut him off
“Ok well mom doesn’t seem to care the least bit about grandma,” I motioned my head toward their garage “So why should I put on a happy face?” The sunglasses hid my pissed off expression. I took them off.
“This is just her way of hiding herself. She doesn’t like feeling weak. Please just be nice and appreciative of her” He turned around in his seat to face me, giving me the sad puppy eyed look he always does when he is pleading.
Why should I have to bend over backwards for her when she doesn’t even acknowledge my feelings and how I feel inside! I wanted to shout this so bad at him but instead I escaped out the car and stomped into the place I’m suppose to c
