Patched tire with noticably softer sidewalls=dangerous?

The work was done at a Sears automotive place. When I say noticeable, I mean relative compared to the other tires. The other tires won't budge at all while the patched one will budge a .25cm especially near the thread.

Patched tire with noticably softer sidewalls=dangerous?

I had a flat a couple days ago and I've since patched the tire but I have some concerns over the structural rigidity of it. Today I went to take some pressure readings to make sure that the tire wasn't leaking and the good news is that is isn't. However I did notice that the sidewalls had...

Possible to go from ios2 > ios3?

I just picked up an ipod touch second gen but it has ios2 on it. When I choose to upgrade in itunes, the only available option is io4 which I don't really want because of the horror stories about responsiveness/battery life. Is it still possible for me to go from ios2>ios3? Thanks

Have you ever felt like you are rushing through life?

How do you not rush through life if you don't have a means of financial support? Going abroad is great but its also expensive unless you act/live as a bum(basically my way of describing backpackers...)

Spring has been here; Time to make my Civic look good... I need help!

Eh I never dry my car before claying, just a waste of time IMO since you're basically getting it wet/dirty again. I like Mothers clay because its very soft and the spray detailer it comes with is actually decent as a quick touch up after washes(and it smells good).

..

If I were in your position, I would go to Harvard and switch careers to investment banking. That is literally what half the HBS graduates end up doing anyways and as far as salaries are concerned, if you get into the top banks, base is ~120k. What schools fail to mention is that you also get a...

Brake Questions-vibration from 70+mph?

Well I don't know if its because the rotors are warped or because the pads wore unevenly or some other misc problem...it only occurs when I apply brakes going 70+, braking from <70 is fine for some reason.

Brake Questions-vibration from 70+mph?

Lately, my car has been vibrating if I put moderate-heavy pressure on the brake pedal while on the highway. The steering wheel wiggles back and forth and it feels like I'm driving over cobblestones. I'm also within a couple thousand miles of having to change the brake pads. So my question is, is...

Have likely settled on a car, help with pricing...

I would say 41ish +/- 1k... Why don't you wait a couple of months for the '11 models to come out? I'm sure there will be incentives on the '10 by that time.

Update: $20k (want advice: first used car <$15k)

2009 Hyundai Sonata with 10-15k miles, hands down best value for broke college students

Engineering Advice

As someone who was in a similar situation but choosing to go to the no-name school for the high GPA, I highly recommend staying at Michigan. That name on the resume will do wonders and college is nothing more than a very expensive way to get past HR filters. The better the school, the less...

Did I fry my hd or my circuit board?

I aligned it correctly, just missed an entire row. Not sure how it happened as I've done this hundreds of times... The pins on the hdd seem to be fine.
