Question 1
what does "mechanic special" mean?...  wanna buy a car and it says that..whats it mean?

Answers
1)   Don't buy it.

It's a nice way of saying it needs a lot of engine work. They put that when the car needs mechanical repairs. - cpr_hrrs

2)   needs mechanical work done on it - Jackie D

3)   usually needs work ........its just a different way to say that... - Karle

4)   pretty much means there's something wrong with it, that's why it's so cheap. - grant

5)   This could be potentially discouraging... I might interpret that to mean...

This car will have lots of problems, but if you are a kid with lots of time, and want to get experience working on your car alot, then this car will train you to be a good mechanic. - Texas

6)   nothing more than it needs a mechanic

Question 2
Question for women: do you do that wiggle on purpose, or is it automatic?...  I happen to notice women walking down the street from time to time, or in the mall, perhaps, and some of those backsides have so much lateral motion that they really catch your eye. Other women walk so smoothly they could be carrying a tea cup back there without spilling a drop. Is this a matter of choice? Or does it just come naturally? Does it fluctuate with the hormones of the individual female? Has anyone done a doctoral thesis on this fascinating topic? If you would care to submit video of yourself walking away from the camera, it would be viewed for research purposes only.

Question 3
1967 Volkswagen bus or 1985 Delorean?...  Really want both of these cars.. Cannot make a choice, what would you choose and why???

Answers
1)   The Bus, no competition. The VW Bus is a very rare head turner. They look amazing when they're fully restored. - Garrett

2)   Well they certainly are both time machines , I'll take one of each if you are buying . - sterling m

3)   The stainless steel Delorean is definitely more collectible because of the limited production numbers. But you'll have replacement part issues for that car. (Do you know they went bust because John Delorean was imprisoned for shipping cocaine to America in them?) On the other hand, the VW Micro Bus is a fun vehicle to own. Engine parts are still easy to find, and there are still aftermarket parts made. The camping conversions were cool, with the pop-up top and the roll-out awnings. You'll be able to keep the VeeDub on the road a lot longer. - Junkyard Fox

4)   I would go for the bus.
My ex-partner had a Delorean and I would drive it all the time. They are SLOW, heavy , uncomfortable and unreliable. It was actually a pile of poo, but it sure got a lot of attention. Parts were hard to find and I had to fabricate a lot of parts when it would break.
The split window bus is a great car. They are also slow, but they are not a sports car of any type, so being slow is ok. The bus also holds more than 1 passenger. You can get a camper version and drive it across the USA. Parts are avalable all over so you dont have to worry about getting stranded. - Rod Knocker

Question 4
1979 Volkswagen Bus Bay window?...  OK i have a question I have a 1979 Volkswagen Bus in fair condition, but I was wondering if it is possible to put a split window and do like a full conversation.
So mines looks like this http://carphotos.cardomain.com/ride_images/3/2466/1521/31163260005_medium.jpg

But i want it to look like this just the front end
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Samba(1).jpg

Is this possible ?

Answers
1)   yes its possible but y ?? its not really worth the effort ..... - Karle

2)   By a splittie and do the restoration. Why not have an original, as opposed to a hacked version? The structural integrity of the bay window would be compromised should you do the conversion. thesamba.com has many up for sale, and for reasonable prices. - djaca70

3)   oh yeah its possible. but at what price? if you feel like throwing away money its a good investment. if not find a reasonably priced late model splittie. like a 66 or 67.

classified section of the samba for 49-67 split window bus's. also try http://www.craigslist.org/about/sites - Air-Cooled ACVW

4)   Sure it is possible, but it will be hard to find a donor bus to cut the front clip off of. If you find one, I would transfer all your parts to the split window. The split is worth a lot more than a bay window bus.
Good Luck! - Rod Knocker

Question 5
Generator light on in my 1967 vw bug?...  My Generator light is on i have changed the Generator and the regulator and the Light is still on any suggestions?? or have a story if you have had the same problem.

Answers
1)   if its staying lit doesnt always mean its the generator, could be a multiple of things. cant really give you and answer for that. check vw books they would know more about it. - Karina

2)   You need to check and make sure all your grounds are good. Then check the out put of the generator. - uthockey32

3)   DC generators require "field flashing" usually after replacement of any component in the charging system. This is probably the case with yours. Methods vary as to field flashing but essentially you apply a momentary 12V (battery power) to the field terminal at the voltage regulator, this "excites" the generator field and you're back in business. - Arthur O

4)   Arthur O gave you some solid advise.
Flash the generator so it can start charging or change to an alternator - Rod Knocker
