Why would a AWD car also have traction control?
all traction control does is slow your motor down when a wheel starts to spin and wont alow you to keep giving it gas to spin out of control While AWD can help you keep from slipping and will help you keep control in ice and snow, remember that you can still slip. Traction control briefly shuts down the engine when you start to slip so that you don't loose control of the vehicle. Both features are useful in bad road conditions. Actually Traction Control uses the throttle and the brakes to compensate for wheel spin.

What is the best sounding USB turntable?
There is one "audiophile" USB turntable- the Pro-Ject Debut III USB. It is regarded as an "introductory level" audiophile turntable at $500. Good audiophile turntables cost $10,000 and more. At the other end of the spectrum are the ones you normally hear about- Ion Audio, Sony, Crosley and Audio-Technica (among others). These run around $100 (or more if they have additional features, like built-in CD burners). You will not get the best sound from these "consumer" USB turntables but they are affordable. To get the best sound quality, avoid the "ceramic cartridges" that are so prevelant on these $100 USB record players. These will muffle the high and low frequencies and wear out your records quicker. Another tip is getting a USB turntable with anti-skate adjustment. This ensures the needle stays in the center of the record groove, where it sounds the best. It also allows you to upgrade the cartridge to something that sounds better.
How does the exhaust pipe connect to the muffler?

Is it ok to ride a Yamaha blaster without the back half of the exhaust pipe?
it will run, but the removal of exhaust components can result in a decrease in the system back pressure. That can cause a problem with proformance, and may lead to problems with the motor. It is a matter of making sure the amount of air going into the motor and out are right. If you are going to take it off, check to see if the air in is okay to the air out. it probably won't cause a problem, but thought you know that they can happen. hope it helps. duboff
What causes a car battery to not work?
Answer 1:
A short in your electrical system could be causing the battery to drain.
A bad cell in you battery could also be the cause. Go to your local parts store and see if they "load test" batteries. This will let you know if the battery is any good.
Answer 2:
A typical car battery is made out of Lead, Lead Oxide and an acidic solution of water and sulphuric acid.
When the battery is used, discharging and recharging, there will be particles formed that due to gravity will drop down and form an increasing layer of conducting material at the bottom.
With use, the cells will eventually shortcut due to this layer building up and "touching" the plates of lead/lead oxide.

Can anything other than a blown head gasket cause white smoke to come from the exhaust?
Intake manifold or it's gasket, cracked head or block are other possible causes.White smoke may seem evident if you do short drives and moisture is built up in the exhaust from not getting hot enough.
The only common head gasket on the Taurus (FORD) is their 3.8 motor. It usually surfaces between 60,000 and 100,000 miles.
