New car pickup time is uncertain, with many variables. Below are details regarding how long it actually takes to pick up a car when the 4S shop says one month: 1. Inventory status: If there is inventory, it depends on whether the manufacturer ships by land or sea—land is faster, sea is slower. If there is no inventory, arranging production may take even longer. 2. Popular models: Manufacturer orders are relatively high, requiring a wait. Generally, dealerships give an early estimate, and delivery usually occurs within a month. 3. Additional information: If the purchase contract specifies a delivery date, it means the consumer and the 4S shop have formed a time-bound contract. Once the deadline passes, the contract takes effect. In case of delayed delivery, if the consumer has paid a deposit, they can demand the 4S shop deliver within a set timeframe or terminate the contract and request double the deposit refund.

Does insufficient washer fluid affect driving?

Insufficient washer fluid affects driving as it can compromise vehicle safety. Below are the functions of automotive cleaning agents: Wetting effect: When the cleaning agent comes into contact with dirt particles on the car surface, the strong wetting force of the cleaning solution ensures the surface is easily wetted, facilitating thorough contact between the two. The cleaning solution deeply penetrates the surface of dirt particles and tiny gaps within dirt aggregates, weakening and loosening the bond between the dirt and the cleaned surface. Suspension effect: Surfactants in the cleaning agent form a molecular layer with directional alignment on the dirt particle surface, enhancing the cleaning effect. After contacting dirt particles, the hydrophobic ends of surfactant molecules bind with the dirt, while the hydrophilic ends bind with water. The directionally arranged molecules adsorbed around the dirt particles tightly integrate the particles with the surrounding aqueous solution, combining hydrophobic and hydrophilic substances to detach surface dirt, which then remains suspended in the cleaning agent.

How to Extract Gasoline from a Motorcycle?

First, prepare a container for collecting the gasoline, preferably a metal one, as plastic containers may pose certain safety risks. Below are the methods to extract gasoline from a motorcycle: 1. Method One: Turn off the fuel valve located below the fuel tank. There is a fuel line between the fuel valve and the carburetor. Disconnect the fuel line from the carburetor end, point it towards the collection container, open the fuel tank valve, and drain the gasoline until empty. 2. Method Two: Disconnecting the fuel line from the carburetor end can be troublesome and difficult to operate. If you have another fuel line, it's better to directly disconnect the fuel line from the fuel tank end, connect the other fuel line, open the valve, and drain the gasoline into the pre-prepared container.

For 6-year vehicle inspection, should I go to the DMV or the inspection station?

For a 6-year vehicle inspection, you need to visit both the DMV and the inspection station. Specific regulations for vehicle annual inspections: Operational passenger vehicles: Inspect once a year within 5 years; inspect every 6 months after exceeding 5 years. Trucks and large/medium non-operational passenger vehicles: Inspect once a year within 10 years; inspect every 6 months after exceeding 10 years. Small and micro non-operational passenger vehicles: Inspect once every 2 years within 6 years; inspect once a year after exceeding 6 years; inspect every 6 months after exceeding 15 years. 4. Exemption policy: Household vehicles with 6 seats or fewer enjoy a 6-year exemption from inspection. Inspection procedure: First, after submitting the inspection application, proceed with the on-site inspection. Drive the vehicle into the automatic inspection area to sequentially check exhaust emissions, speed, lights, side slip, and chassis for compliance with standards. All items must pass to proceed. Next is the exterior inspection, verifying the vehicle's license plate, type, body color, engine number, VIN code, and frame number for accuracy. Then inspect the body exterior, checking details such as the bumper, engine compartment, rearview mirrors, lower mirrors, window glass, paint, engine operation status, and the interior and wheels of passenger vehicles. Finally, the owner can obtain the inspection report and application form from the inspector. If all inspection items pass, the owner can proceed to pay the inspection fee and collect the vehicle registration and compliance label. If any items fail, the owner must repair them and participate in a re-inspection until they pass before proceeding with the visa procedures.
