Since in science, things can only be considered from the perspective of observable phenomena, the properties of light are only understood only through their interaction with other particles and energy in given situations. Photons exhibit both wave-like and particle-like behavior depending on

Could it have siphoned AT fluid into the intake via a vaccuum hose or something like that? I had an issue with my old Suburban once that oiled up the air filter. It was because the PCV valve was not inserted into the valve cover. Not quite the same but sort of an odd thing to happen. Look for

Thanks for explaining that. Now I can see why it's not enough to move the car back on the trailer till the trailer doesn't put much weight on the tongue...that shifts too much mass to the rear causing swerving and unsteadiness. Best is to move 50% of the mass forward, if not more, and use the

I'll vouch for the importance of enough tounge weight. Once late in the evening after a long day, I loaded up a car trailer with a honda motorcycle in front, and a Volvo 244 sedan just behind it. I didn't realize that the width of the motorcycle caused the cars weight to be centered behind
