My husband and I just bought a 97 Celebrity, 22ft bowrider.
We have been debating on names, he likes Wet-n-Wild, but I think it is dorky.
He is a coal miner and I would like to name it something unique to do with that.... any creative suggestions?

Also, Is it better to buy a brand new car or a used car? I heard if you buy a brand new car, drive it off the dealership lot and it depreciates quite a bit. I would rather buy than lease though. What do you guys think? Thank you so much for any help!

My car was totalled in a car accident about a week ago, so I need to buy a new one. Between the money I got from insurance and money I have saved up I have about 7500 to spend on a car. I'd like something pretty small, and fuel efficient if possible. I don't really know anything about cars so I'd really appreciate your suggestions.

Ford holds the record for the most cars in a single recall 7.9 million cars in 1996 for defective ignition switches that could cause a car to catch fire.Just announced there is another recall for the cruise control there have been six recalls since 1999 totalling 10.4 million cars again the problem can cause the car to catch fire.The insurance institute said of the last generation f150 that they didn't believe they had ever tested a vehicle that did as poorly in a crash test.The early mustangs had a drop in gas tank that acted as the trunk floor and were known to cause the car to burst into flames in a rear end collision filling the passenger compartment with flaming fuel.the pinto is known for dropping it's drive shaft and rupturing the gas tank bursting into flames.I have followed cars for years and i don't believe there is another car manufacturer with a worse safety history or a worse recall history I challenge you to show proof of a car manufacturer with a worst history for both.

I heard in California the emergency vehichels have a strobe light that is picked up by the sensors on traffic lights to change them from red to green. How can I do this?

I'm thinking of getting the stereo on the link below to put in my husband's 1990 Honda Civic. Now, I can install a card in a computer, change a spark plug, and fix basic household items. Do you think I should try to install this stereo, or will I need to hire someone?
