GUy

I have an 88 lotus turbo esprit, and I need  a new Wiper Arm and blade?
Is their any other car that the wiper arm and blade come off?

Only in America.

It's time again for the annual 'Stella Awards'! For those unfamiliar
with these awards, they are named after 81-year-old Stella Liebeck who
spilled hot coffee on herself and successfully sued the McDonald's in
New Mexico , where she purchased coffee. You remember, she took the lid
off the coffee and put it between her knees while she was driving. Who
would ever think one could get burned doing that, right? That's right;
these are awards for the most outlandish lawsuits and verdicts in the
U.S. You know, the kinds of cases that make you scratch your head. So
keep your head scratcher handy.
  
Here are the Stella's for the past year:
  
*SEVENTH PLACE*

Kathleen Robertson of Austin, Texas was awarded $80,000 by a jury of
her peers after breaking her ankle tripping over a toddler who was
running inside a furniture store. The store owners were understandably
surprised by the verdict, considering the running toddler was her own
son.

Start scratching!

  * SIXTH PLACE *

Carl Truman, 19, of Los Angeles , California won $74,000 plus medical
expenses when his neighbor ran over his hand with a Honda Accord. Truman
apparently didn't notice there was someone at the wheel of the car when
he was trying to steal his neighbor's hubcaps.

Scratch some more...
  
* FIFTH PLACE *

Terrence Dickson, of Bristol , Pennsylvania , who was leaving a house
he had just burglarized by way of the garage. Unfortunately for Dickson,
the automatic garage door opener malfunctioned and he could not get the
garage door to open. Worse, he couldn't re-enter the house because the
door connecting the garage to the house locked when Dickson pulled it
shut. Forced to sit for eight, count 'em, EIGHT days and survive on a
case of Pepsi and a large bag of dry dog food, he sued the homeowner's
insurance company claiming undue mental Anguish. Amazingly, the jury
said the insurance company must pay Dickson $500,000 for his anguish. We
should all have this kind of anguish. Keep scratching. There are more...
  
Double hand scratching after this one..
  
*FOURTH PLACE*

Jerry Williams, of Little Rock, Arkansas, garnered 4th Place in the
Stella's when he was awarded $14,500 plus medical expenses after being
bitten on the butt by his next door neighbor's beagle - even though the
beagle was on a chain in its owner's fenced yard. Williams did not get
as much as he asked for because the jury believed the beagle might have
been provoked at the time of the butt bite because Williams had climbed
over the fence into the yard and repeatedly shot the dog with a pellet
gun.

Pick a new spot to scratch, you're getting a bald spot..

  * THIRD PLACE *

Amber Carson of Lancaster, Pennsylvania because a jury ordered a
Philadelphia restaurant to pay her $113,500 after she slipped on a
spilled soft drink and broke her tailbone. The reason the soft drink was
on the floor: Ms. Carson had thrown it at her boyfriend 30 seconds
earlier during an argument. What ever happened to people being
responsible for their own actions?

Only two more so ease up on the scratching.....
  
*SECOND PLACE*

Kara Walton, of Claymont , Delaware sued the owner of a night club in a
nearby city because she fell from the bathroom window to the floor,
knocking out her two front teeth. Even though Ms. Walton was trying to
sneak through the ladies room window to avoid paying the $3.50 cover
charge, the jury said the night club had to pay her $12,000....oh, yeah,
plus dental expenses. Go figure.
  
Ok. Here we go!!
  
* FIRST PLACE *

This year's runaway First Place Stella Award winner was: Mrs... Merv
Grazinski, of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, who purchased new 32-foot
Winnebago motor home. On her first trip home, from an OU football game,
having driven on to the freeway, she set the cruise control at 70 mph
and calmly left the driver's seat to go to the back of the Winnebago to
make herself a sandwich. Not surprisingly, the motor home left the
freeway, crashed and overturned. Also not surprisingly, Mrs. Grazinski
sued Winnebago for not putting in the owner's manual that she couldn't
actually leave the driver's seat while the cruise control was set. The
Oklahoma jury awarded her, are you sitting down?
$1,750,000 PLUS a new motor home. Winnebago actually changed their
manuals as a result of this suit, just in case Mrs. Grazinski has any
relatives who might also buy a motor home.

  Are we, as a society, getting more stupid....
or are more members of Congress serving on juries these days?

Last night while testing my car. I went to make a right hand lane change and the turn  indicator on the dash stopped working.

When I turn Left the turn indicator on my dash board worked again.  I did a once around on the car and noticed that the right hand side turn indicator bulbs were not working.

I pulled off the  lens of checked both bulbs and they were both in good shape.


What Do I need to check?


Second thing that was odd, while testing my car. I had to turn the car off for just a second and the turn the car back on. When I turned the ignition  to start their was no power in the car what so ever(no Lights nothing) .

This happened for a split second, and then the car restarted.


Any ideas on what that might be?

HI,

My first problem is the head light motor.

1. You can hear the motor run but no movement.
    Inspected the gear, if you turn the nob on the back of the motor, the gear turns but not the shaft.
    What Next?
2. The driver side  marker light is loose. The one nut is missing and the other is jammed on.
    How do I fix this?
3. Backup light do not work, the one wire has broken away from the terminal  with the post still connected.
    How do I remove the switch from the transmission?
    If it just unscrews, does it mess up the transmission?  


Guy

Anyone?
