I went to this "ticket clinic" company which charges me 500 dollars to take my case, should I pay them that? or should I just go to court my self.

The ticket was given to me for driving with a tag expired for about a year and not having insurance. What do you guys reccomend ? can I potentially end up paying more if I dont get a lawyer for this ? or does it usually end up being less than what a lawyer charges you for this kind of thing.

I live in MIAMI FLORIDA by the way

I got into a car accident driving my friend's car. She let me borrow it because my car was getting repaired. I was not at fault of the accident, however my friend's car was a total loss (i still feel terrible). My friend got about $6,000 from her insurance. I initially gave my friend $1000 to cover her deductible (which she got back with the $6000). Note: the driver at fault was uninsured. He got cited and that was that. Police report states he was at fault. Dilemma is my friend is asking me to give her an additional $2500 to help her with the down payment for a new car. I am willing to help her for a downpayment but is $2500 alot? I already gave her $1000 which means a total of $3500 I will have to pay my friend. Does this sound reasonable?She is planning to use the $6000, plus my $2500, plus some that she can borrow from mom to total $10,000 for the downpayment. Who puts down that much anyway? But I do understanf that if Ihad not borrowed her car none of this would have happened.

I have an aluminum block engine in my wakeboard boat which is built for the lakes, now i live on salt water and was wondering the effect saltwater would have on the engine block as water goes through to cool it.

I'm planning on having a trustworthy person drive my car and some of my stuff across the country (I don't have the time to make the trip myself)--what kinds of things should I do to make sure that things go right? I'm planning on getting a copy of the person's driver's license, but if the person hits someone else with my car, could I be held liable? What if the person gets a speeding or parking ticket along the way and doesn't pay it, will I be held liable? Is there anything else that I should be wary of? Thanks.

I went their several times at first, 2005. The service was very slow and unproffesional, in my opinion. They even told me to set up an appointment to replace a tailight, while i was already their for service. Hence letting/forceing me to leave the lot with an unsafe, illegal vehicle.
So I went to Dafne Al. for service, now that the local kia has a new shop and new techs, I wanted to return to them and have them honor my tires for life. Because I felt their service was less than adiquite to fulfill their end of the contract, then. But now with a new shop, I decided to give them another shot, but was told that I broke the tires for life contract, and they would not honor it. Has this happened to you?

"ZAP says that the initial concept phase for the new vehicle is complete. The targeted price is $30,000, top speed in excess of 100 mph and range of 100 miles per charge. Many of the technologies already specified for the ZAP-X electric car concept will be applied to the new vehicle, but delivery is expected to be sooner than the ZAP-X."

What do you think - is 100 mile range and 100 mph top speed in an electric car worth $30,000?

One other thing to note - the ZAP-X is supposed to have battery technology that will recharge in 10 minutes, so I presume this earlier model will be able to do the same.

I would like to earn credit but have none and don't want to pay high precentage for a loan for a new car. Also when leasing do you have to have money down?

I purchased a Ninja 250 this year, and will most likely be selling it next year to get a larger bike. I've heard that this model tends to resell very well. Anyone have any extimates on what I might get?

When I take my boat on long rides, it will start smoking (white smoke) quite a bit at some points - I am not sure if it is steam or smoke, but when I turn the boat off for a second and start it back up it won't be smoking anymore - I understand this could be a cooling issue, or it could be dirty gas - how can I diagnose this. The boat seems to be running at around 185 degrees.
