This will be a one time trip, it is gong from land to land, no water involved. It can be a goose neck or a regular trailer.
If it is a rental, I need to be able to return it in the city I live in, not the city I picked up the trailer from.

Thanks for helping!!

ok the situation is like this.

my family has two cars. (maxima and accent)
I (21years old) use the accent and my parents use the maxima.
All three of us are under the same insurance plan.

I might sell the accent and buy a used car and pay monthly(financing).
so that means the insurance has to be full coverage right? and not liability. (the maxima and the accent are both fully paid and they are under liability right now)

So if I buy a used car what is the best way to minimize the insurance cost?...which is a good insurance company? can I be covered under my dad's name or something? my friend said something like that..but I don't know if there is such a thing.
by the way my parents live in massachusetts and i live in NJ.
what should i do?
(don't tell me not to buy a car)

I have heard about the LoJack system which tracks your vehicle if stolen and its early warning system. If you own a LoJack system or know someone that does, can you give me some information and what you think about it and if you think it is worth getting over a traditional car alarm?

My auto mechanics teacher told us that the only thing that matters is the octane level. The only thing you need to do is make sure you are using the gas your car was built to use. He says the only difference is that high cost stations add ome unimportant formula, different from each station, that makes their gas different. But my friend (he's a mechanic) says that it DOES matter. He says he's worked on cars that use the cheap gas and he could tell 'cause their engines are so dirty. Does it really make a difference?

My husband's friend got into a motorcycle accident tonight and his foot was completly torn apart. He went into surgery to have his leg removed. Before he went into surgery, he told my husband he'd be willing to let him take over the payments on the bike (a brand new Yamaha R1 - not the same back he was riding during the accident) My husband said he'd talk to me, but basically agreed to it. He's had bikes before and is a careful rider. Three years and not a single accident. He never does stunts or anything like that (his friend was popping a wheely when it happened)
Should I let him take advantage of an unfortunate situation that would replace his old bike (a car hit and ran it in a parking lot) and would also help out his buddy who can no longer ride or should I say NO WAY JOSE! Remember, he's an established 27 yr old rider whos been riding for years.
I'm asking your opinion because right now I'm a little freaked out from what happened to his friend and need outside advice. Thanks

I am looking for a very good car alarm for my 1992 Civic Hatchback. I have recently fixed it and I'm worried about it getting stolen, tampered with, etc. I have seen many types of system and want to see others opinions. Cost is no object.

I currently own the PowerAcoustik 1920 watt amp ( http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_6195_Power+Acoustik+TS1920-2.html ). I was running two Audiobahn subs with 550 rms power handling to them, but the subs are starting to pop everytime the bass hits. So I am going to change subs. I am wondering how ell my current amp will go along with two Audiobahn AW1200V subs ( http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_7039_Audiobahn+AW1200V.html ). If i get those subs then i will put them each in a 3.3 cubic feet vented box. I guess my real question is concerning if i have enough power from my amp (rms wise) to push these subs and make them sound good.

Chris Bangle, the designer for BMW changed bmw. Which ones do you like? the current models (later than 2003) or the older ones (Before 2003) . I really like the older ones (1995-2003). In my opinion, the most beatiful bmw cars were the 3 series e46 and the 5 series e39, especially the M3 and the M5. But thats just my opinion. What's yours?

No, it was not a coincidence and no there was no previous noise before the accident.
