Cars & Transportation - 15 August 2006

2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT : $13,995 -- 45k miles
3.0L V-6 SOHC, Automatic
Cloth seats, one dent in side fender, rear spoiler, sunroof
17" Alloy Wheels (rear tires slightly worn)
Silver

2003 Hyundai Tiburon GT : $11,920 -- 38k miles
2.7L V-6 DOHC, Manual
Leather interior, bucket seats
17" Aluminum Wheels & low profile tires
Dual exhaust (chrome tips), side fender vents (non functional), rear spoiler
Silver

2001 Toyota Celica GT : $10,995 -- 90k miles (yikes)
1.8L 4-cyl SOHC, Automatic
Cloth seats, bucket seats, sunroof, rear spoiler
15" Alloy Wheels, some scratches on body, hood scoop
Black

Are any of these vehicles overpriced?
Which vehicle has the best performance? (Eclipse gets 200hp, Tiburon 180hp, but may have more torque b/c it's a manual?)
Any bargaining tips & tricks you'd like to share?

He wants to buy a car ($2000 - 3000), his first. He is in Army Reserve for last year. Also works full time for Stater Brothers Markets in CA for about 6 months - promoted twice. He also has worked parttime for Youth Opportunity Center after school for about 3 years. Graduated last year. Has no credit. He asked me to ask all of you if you have had experience est. credit and then going about buying a car. He prefers to buy from dealer as financing may have to come from them. He is learing how to save money but "it's so hard." Any suggestions there would be helpful from you teen and 20+ people. Thanks.

I live in Western New York and have notice that people lately have a total disregard for traffic laws. No blinkers to signal a lane change, or turning, tail gating, runnning stop signs & red lights etc.
There is an intersection near my son's daycare when I get of the local thruway & even if I have a green light I stop to make sure no on is running the red light. I have seen it so many times it makes me nervous.

When did it become ok to break some of the simplest laws in the country???

You remember Willie, our small town's only mechanic! Sure you do. He's the one who "fixes" cars and weeks later they shart cartwheeling down our street! OH!! And Willie solved the problem if his reassembling a Cadillac and a Honda Civic back into one car--a Hondallac or a Cadonda!! He just burned it for the insurance and paid off the two owners for their previous TWO cars.

But now, we have a new Willie-Problem. The local Guard unit's tank broke down and they asked Willie to come fix it. He did--it's running again. In circles on the armory parade ground. It won't stop.

And it's growling and firing its gun!

So far, we've lost the steeple off the Baptist Church, Widow Rackstraw's vegetable garden, a tour bus loaded with Russian tourists that was passing through--even though that accident may cause a nuclear reaction from Putin who is some kind of p!ssed, we hear--and a series of HUGE potholes in our street. (This is a really small town.)

The Guard guys can't get inside it!!

I have a hawaiian print sunshade and I was putting the print facing out and my brother said you are supposed to put the reflective (silver) side out to block the sun. What's the point in having a print on your sunshade if you can't show it off? Does it matter which side it's on?

When I started to use my air conditioning, I noticed that steam would come out of the air vents. We found the tube was plugged. Now, steam will still come with A/C, and water still drips out. But, this just is not with the A/C. Whenever I use the defrost or any of the cooling/heating system, I still get a noise like cold water touching a hot frying pan. Any thoughts?

i'm writing a story, and part of it has this hotshot guy being captain on a boat, one of those nice ones that are pretty big. not a sailboat, more like a speedboat. (like the one in You'veGotMail, like the biggest boat that was named 'Fox', something like that) anyone have any advice about boating, or anything? if anyone knows the terms for the crew, like who's next in 'importance' after the captain. or anything else would be useful. just to make it sound like i know what i'm talking about when writing the chapter, even though i don't.
any advice would be fantastic!

When i turn on my A.C. most of the time its start to blow cold. Then after a while it blows warm. The time varies from when it goes from cold to warm, If I stop and let it sit for 15-30 minutes it blows cold again. It was suggested there may be a temperature swith of some kind that may be defective.
