Most car dealers buy their used cars at auction. Few were actually traded in at the same dealership where it's being sold (according to a guy I work with who used to be in the car biz). Definitely get this car checked out by a mechanic, don't rely on CarFax alone. If you are starting to have...

On California DL's colors are abbreviated as BRN and GRN. If the license is well-worn, or it's dark, it's easy to mistake one for the other. As I've stated already I highly doubt the ticket will get kicked for that one particular error.

Nice car. Because it's used, make sure you take it to an independent mechanic to make sure there's no problems or prior crash repairs on it.

In one post, you tell Natasha that neither the Altima nor the Fusion make a good scuba vehicle, and recommend an SUV instead. Yet in this one, you say that the Beetle makes a good one because it holds enough gear for exactly ONE person :confused: I'm not sure how that makes the Beetle a...

Remember though that rental cars get a lot of abuse, the scars of which may not appear for some time after you've bought it. A car may look good and may not have many dents/scratches, but it doesn't say much about how the car was maintained or especially driven. A friend of mine recently had...

I have a 2003 Altima V-6 and really like it. The only problem I had was the battery died rather early, and had to have it towed to Nissan for repair (thought it was an alternator problem). The battery was already beyond warranty so I had to buy a new one, but other than standard maintenance...

Unfortunately there are a lot of groups who show up to protests, ANY protests, just to instigate violence. It is THOSE groups that the police are most interested in, and why undercover operatives are placed in protests.

In order from first to latest: 1. A very old Mac Powerbook. I forget the model number, but it had a tiny 10 inch screen and was black and white -- not even grayscale. I bought it in 1994? and cost me something like $2000, a lot of money in those days. 2. A Mac Performa 6-something series...

Chances are the reason the person who was pulled over for speeding on his bike was probably doing other things as well to attract the officer's attention. As far as ticketing in other situations, we write for those too, and get another whiny response: "Why don't you go bust some REAL...

Depends on the judge. If you can show that there are enough errors on the citation to cast doubt that it was you that was cited, and/or cast doubt on the officer's credibility, yes it can be cause for dismissal. Hair color can be easily changed, and with the advent of colored contacts so can...

Very good point catherine. Many laws that are passed without taking into acccount the practicality of its enforcement.

With the popularity of applying limo-black tint to all the windows, often we don't know who we've pulled over until they roll the window down. That's despite the fact that in my state (CA) it's illegal to apply any sort of tint to the front windows, other than what came from the factory.

I know it's just a cartoon, but 4 of the 12 jury members are missing. I guess the artist couldn't come up with 4 more famous cartoon dogs?

While I personally have been unhappy with Vista (in my case, "Home Premium"), my suggestion is to at least try it out first before going through the rather drastic step of reformatting and reinstalling the OS, unless you already know that Vista is going to cause hardware and/or software...

My Latitude had no trialware whatsoever, not even an anti-virus program. Dell's new Vostro line is also being advertised as being bloatware-free. Mac's are nice but overpriced. I used them for many years before going over to the "Dark Side."

I'm with Bryan on the Dell. I'm typing this on my 5th Dell computer, a Latitude D520 notebook. Intel Core 2 Duo processor, CD-RW/DVD-ROM, Windows XP. I went with this instead of the Inspiron series as it's the last of the Dell notebooks that is still available with the standard aspect (4:3)...

Open Range was...ok...not bad but certainly not one of Costner's better movies. Another western that had Costner in it, that I enjoyed more, was Silverado, more so than Dances With Wolves.

If there is a solid yellow line on your side of the road, you are not allowed to cross it except to turn into a driveway or intersecting roadway. Two sets of unbroken double yellows are not to be crossed at all. If the lane is wide enough that you don't have to cross over any lines, and the...

Now that's a strong current.

I was just in Kona last week. If there was an earthquake there, you wouldn't know it. Kona looks just like it did when I visited them for the first time in 2004, except traffic is a bit worse on Queen Ka'ahumanu Highway as they are widening it to four lanes between Kailua-Kona and the...
