H2O H2O is too stable a compound to be used as fuel. Only the Hydrogen part can be used as fuel Oxygen part can be used for oxygenation However, using plain water, is impossible to get more energy out of it than you put into it So it can't be used as fuel!!! Go get an engineering degree first ... then make posts on AF otherwise, all you got is hearsay and opinion none of which can make an engine run This post has been edited by avisitor: Mar 12 2011, 09:42 PM |

No, it is not. Where is your proof?? You have none .. cause none exist. Therefore, you're an idiot with stupid opinions and nothing more!!! Now, go get an education Your close minded and indoctrinated, the future will prove you wrong. Scientist already accept it as fact. |

I prefer used cars from 6~10 years old. If you inspect the car well before buying, you get great value for the money. In addition, general depreciation for cars in this age bracket is about $500.00 each year(depends on the car of course). Compared to new cares losing 1/3 of their value in the first year.
Such cars need periodical repair but still are way cheaper to run than new cars. If you know how to fix your own car then you can save money big time! I believe all men should have tools and know how to use them. That way, you can take advantage of whats around you. |

I've seen cars break down on the highway.
Guy stops the car and gets out to open the hood Do you think most of those guys even know how to find what wrong with the car much less fix it on the highway??? Yeah, I like clean used cars that are in very good condition. The depreciation makes the car's value inexpensive to obtain Maintenance is a different issue |

Hell, I've replaced hoses, water pumps, Alternators even an EGR Valve on the side of the street. Many people can. |

Most Americans only know to stick the key in the ignition and start the car.
Other than that, they don't know how a cars works and don't care to If the car breaks down then they call the tow truck or AAA road side assistance One time I was driving to Florida from New York. I got to Georgia when my car just stopped working. Pulled it over to the side of the road. So, what do you do? What are the three things that make an engine run? The engine cranked .. so battery was good. Pumped the gas pedal and saw there was gas going to the carburetor (it was a long time ago). Pulled off a spark plug wire and used a screw driver to make a gap to ground .. to see if there was spark. No spark. Open up the distributor and there was the problem. The little rotor inside the distributor had broken into tiny pieces. I needed a new rotor ... But, I didn't have a spare. I went to the side of the road and looked at the trash there. There was a Popsicle stick and foil from a cigarette pack. Luckily I still had some tools in the car. Made a temporary rotor and got the car started. Drove to the next town and waited for the auto parts store to open Got the replacement part and finished my road trip to Florida. If you know something about cars then you don't have to be afraid of used cars. (sometimes ... lol) |
