Bought a used car

I thought the chip on the headlight could have been caused by rocks / pebbles on the highway, which is why I thought nothing of it. I read advice to follow when buying a new car, and I knew what I was supposed to look for, but I guess I didn't realize how minute some signs can be. We did have...

Bought a used car

Like I said, I understand that it isn't covered under lemon law (the law only covers vehicles over 18,000 miles anyway - we bought the car because it still had it's factory warranty on it). However, I have a hard time believing that the dealer didn't know about the problem and the expense involved.

Bought a used car

We did, and no accidents were reported. I can't remember the details exactly, but I believe the car was purchased from another dealer.

Bought a used car

Back in December, I posted about a no-fault accident I had with my old Honda Civic. I searched around for the best deals, and eventually decided on purchasing a used 2008 Hyundai Elantra, with ~17000 miles. We paid ~$12,000, and it had a few known issues: The driver-side mirror was cracked The...

Considering a VW - How reliable are they?

I can't say I dislike Civics in general - the newer ones look nice. It's just that the particular car I had wasn't the best option for the money spent, and the purchasing decision wasn't up to me. I'm in love with the newer Mazda3 and Mazda6, but I've yet to see them at a decent price range...

Considering a VW - How reliable are they?

I was in a no-fault car accident the Monday after Thanksgiving. A total of seven cars were involved, five of them totaled, which leaves me without my despised, but missed, '96 Honda Civic. Now I'm in the market for a new car. I've been researching, and I came across a 2002 Passat GLX with all...

College Recommendations

Just to reply to the comments that BradT and slsmnaz made, I never said I was looking for "big name" colleges. In fact, I decided against even looking at the early suggestions I had gotten because I thought I wouldn't have been accepted even if I tried. Right now I'm only looking for a few names...

College Recommendations

Simple. I'm an out of district placement because my mother works in another school. I can't do any after school programs because 1) my sister requires special needs and there are issues with transportation, so I'm the only one who can watch her, and 2) with my current schedule, I'm doing work...

College Recommendations

I forgot to mention that I am in a computer club (it was just started, which is why I couldn't recall it), so that's something that can go towards my application. I've been approached to write for the school newspaper and serve on the yearbook committee next year, which I'll highly consider if I...

College Recommendations

In my lurking days, I remember seeing a few threads for college recommendations, and it's about time I started looking at a few names. So here's some background information: I'm a high school junior. I have a 3.3 GPA, I'm probably going to be looking at a 3.5 GPA when I graduate. I've...

iTunes rant

That's been gone for a few versions now if I remember correctly. Does this really qualify as a rant? :P

To Mac or to Hack...

Honestly in your position I would buy a real machine. Building a Hakintosh can be frustrating, and there really is no guaranty for the future. It would be a fun project to do if you're using it for a spare machine, but I would not trust it with all of my data (for the risk of it breaking one...
