I've seen many websites about getting a private pilot license, but they only are good for single engine planes. What do I have to do to be licensed to fly a small jet like a learjet?

You know how some cars AC outlets shut off when the car shuts off and some just stay on all the time? Well my car's outlets stay on when the car is off and I was wondering is there any way you can make them shut off when the car shuts off?

About 1 month i ago i purschased a passat & traded in a jetta. the jetta was only worth about 10k but i owed 16,300.00
i got a trade in allowance of 16,500.00 by rolling 6,500 of negative equity to the new loan. The dealership said & stated on the contract they would payoff my car at 16,500.00 therefore i would get a refund from my bank of 200.00 . ( which i planned to use for window tint) i received a check from my bank that financed the jetta for only $20.00! .. later.. i found out the dealer only paid off 16,320.00 vs 16,500.00 ,. im calling the dealer & they're giving me the run around so now they kept the difference to profit & im screwed , what should i do? isnt this a violoation of contract? shouldnt they give me the difference now?

My Grandparents own a Chrysler-Jeep Dealership. Currently they are being run out of business (and I would estimate the dealership will be gone a year from now). Obviously, I don't want that to happen. However, I do not like any Chrysler car. I only have $15K to spend and need a car ASAP. Chryslers, in my opinion, are unreliable, have horrible gas mileage, and are overpriced. The car I have my eye on is a 2005 Toyota Corrolla. My parents say I have an obligation to buy from my Grandparents.

Why should I waste money on an unreliable, over-priced car that I don't want when I can get everything I want in the Toyota? What would you do in my position? I don't want to upset my Grandparents, but I need a car that will last and isn't too expensive.

Recently I was riding my jet sky in a 5 mph zone. A Police officer stop me and issue a ticket for riding it over the limit of 5 mph in a 5 mph max zone. I contested the ticket in court. I essentially state that he didn’t have a radar, so he could not possibly knew what my speed was (needless to say I was riding at 5 or 6 mph). He said that he did not need a radar to knew I was navigating over 5 mph because, quote, “when a vessels goes over 5 mph It makes waves and does not “glide” on the water, and the jet sky was making waves”. He asserted to that he knew that for a fact, because of some training he took that teach him that. My question is. Is that can be true? Can a Police officer can be train to spot a vessel that is going over 5 mph just by looking at it, without a speed radar? Keep in mind that he said I was riding at 10 mph? The law here states that he “can or may” (not must) use a speed radar to measure the speed. Needles to say I lost the contest and was order to pay the ticket, but I plan to appeal.

in the mid-1970's.I'm also not sure on the miles,but let's call it average.The car seems to be in really good condition,i seen one small rust spot that was painted over,but the vinyl top,the insides,the wheels,and the rest of the paint is pretty good.I know
this description is vague at best,but the car just had a blank for sale sign and i couldnt see the year or miles.thanks in advanced.
