Question #1:

is this black guy smart or wut eh?

A black man walks into a prestigious private bank in midtown manhattan and
asks for the loan officer who politely tries to direct him to a
more...Commercial establishment. The black man says he's going to europe on
business trip for two weeks and needs to borrow $5,000. The loan officer
says the bank will need some kind of security for the loan, so the black man
hands over the keys to a new rolls royce. The car is parked on the street in
front of the bank. He has all the papers including the title and everything
checks out. The bank agrees to accept the car as collateral for the loan. An
employee of the bank then proceeds to drive the rolls into the bank's
underground garage and parks it there. The news quickly spreads
throughout the bank and over lunch, the bank's president and its
officers all enjoy a good laugh at the "ni*%er's" expense for using a $250,000 rolls
as collateral against a $5,000 loan. Two weeks after, the black man returns, repays the $5,000 and the interest, which comes to $20.41. The loan officer says, "sir, we are very happy to have had your business, and this transaction has worked out very nicely, but we are a little puzzled. While you were away, we checked you out
and found that you are a multimillionaire. What puzzles us is, why would you
bother to borrow $5,000?" the black man replies. "where else in new
york city can I park my car for two weeks for only $20.41 and expect it to be
there when I return?"

On a drive from your home to town, you wish to average 40 mph. The distance from your home to town is 84 miles. However, at 42 miles (half way), you find you have averaged only 30mph.
What average speed must you maintain in the remaining distance in order to have an overall average speed of 40mph? Answer in units of mph.

not sure what formula to use... having a really hard time

Question #5:

What Happened To Hip Hop?

It used to actually have a message(1) Now it sound like this (2) oops this (3). What happened to the good old days where they actually rapped about something and condemned the rich for not helping out and talk about robbing them if nothing was done? What happened to telling a girl she's beautiful because you love her rather than you love her because she's beautiful?

Now all we have are rich sellouts that become famous and turn their back on their community, they rap with no deep message, only about sex, drugs, money, cars and clothes. No it's cool to be ignorant and talk down to people because they don't have money. So I got to ask, what happened to Hip Hop?

Question #6:

Think about it, do you really want John Boehner as Speaker of the House?

This man is frightening. He would be really, really bad for America. He does NOT represent the best. He reminds me of a bad used car salesman.

Please don't supply comments about Pelosi. She's not the best either. I know.

Question #7:

Question #9:

Using a automobile turbocharger for an aircraft engine. Good, or bad idea?

People have successfully built an aircraft engine with certain auto parts before. Is it possible to use a car turbo charger for a jet engine?

Question #10:

I need money to buy a used car but do not want a loan?

How can I get money for a decent used car without having to get a loan? I am in college and can not afford to be getting a loan. and at this point I am on minimum wage trying to get through school and do not make enough to save for a car. I used to have a 1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse but I had to sell it on the count of it broke down and the mechanics I sent the car to had no idea what was wrong with the car.

Is there anything out there for people like myself?

Question #11:

When will we realize the we cannot use oil safely any longer?

Another oil platform sending smoke into the air and oil into the sea. When will we ban oil. We have the technology to make oil obsolete. Electric cars, wind, solar are all proven.

There have been some wonderful reports on NPR where Environmental Studies professors are studying green cities in Europe and how they turn their wood pulp waste into power.

Its time to end our appetite for oil.

Question #12:

I have no credit. I have $1,500 cash. Will this be enough down payment for a 6,000 car?

I am 18, work part-time & full-time student. I make an average of $180 a week.. so about 700 a month.

I have a 95 honda accord I am planning on selling for AT LEAST $1500
I need a new car---pronto. I'm currently viewing and researching the 2001 Honda Accord Coupe in several different used car dealerships... they average about $6,000
I will probably have my dad co-sign the contract...? I have no credit :(

Will my $1500 be enough? will there be other fees attached to the purchase?
How is an 18 year old financing a car a bad idea? My dad is most likely co-signing.
this is true. But I do NEED a newer car... My current car needs repairs every month, if its not the battery, its the alternator... Its been leaving me stranded for a while now, thats why I need a better car!
I can and WILL find a car that is less than 6,000, I just was adding extra for fees etc.
My car has a screeching alternator, will probably need a new a/c compressor and has peeling paint all over... I really don't think Its worth fixing.

Question #13:

Why is my car insurance so much cheaper than other companies?

i was looking around for auto insurance to see if there was anything cheaper than what im paying now. im a 20 year old male with a 2005 scion tc. i have been driving for about 2 years and currently use state farm. when i first insured my car 2 years ago, i was paying $148/mo. due to a speeding ticket, it has risen to $194/mo. i also have comprehensive and collision with a $500 deductible. $100,000/$300,000 coverage with full glass also. not complaining, i think this is great
i looked at nationwide, allstate, geico, and progressive. these companies are supposed to be so great, but progressive quoted me at $485/mo for the same coverage! the other companies where all in that general area. progressives "state minimum" coverage plan for me was almost $300/mo.

Question #14:

What to do when your ex is mentally unstable, an alcoholic, and there is a child involved!!?

To make a long story short, my ex always drank some, but since I ended things with him 5 years ago, he has been drinking more. He also seems to be losing his mind. As he denies everything from the past. It seems he honestly is delusional. To make matters worse, he hangs out with the biggest losers. His latest girlfriend pretty much lives with him. Yet, she refuses to meet me formally and he refuses to introduce her to me. The first time I was made aware of her existence was when I dropped our 6 yr old son off a few months ago. The house was littered with booze bottles, overflowing ashtrays, and there were two drunk and passed out women. One was nude (as was he) in bed with him. It was 10:30 am and he knew we were coming over. And I had called 5 times prior to arriving. So, he had no excuse.
Since then, the girlfriend's car will be there when I drop my son off but she is always still sleeping off the last night's drunk. Even at noon.
I want to pursue this in court but also don't want to look like I am making things up. The woman is there every weekend when my son is there. I feel he is unsafe. I have been told by third parties that she uses cocaine and is a drunk. I also saw a picture of her on Facebook with a drug reference.

How can I make a decent case in court against him? Especially when I can't actually prove anything. He does have two OWI's, but they are old. And her record is clean. He tells me I have no right to actually meet the person spending time with my son on weekends! I am seriously wondering what all of the secretiveness is about. This has gotten to the point where I dread dropping my son there and am having severe anxiety over the issue.
Pauly Vito, you're an idiot.
His family is a bunch of drunks too. It's a lovely situation. My fiance comes with at times. But there isn't much to see. As I don't go there in the evening when they are drinking.
Ryan, congratulations, you're also an idiot. I was never married to him, he's not a hillbilly, and Millions of women have gotten "knocked up" when on BIRTH CONTROL. You wouldn't have the problem of getting someone "knocked up" I'm guessing......

Question #15:

Parents; help me out w/ car seat laws?

What would happen if I used an American car seat in the UK?

I *know* it is illegal to do this, as American car seats don't bear the pass mark required for legal use in the UK (and vice versa). However there are car seats available in America that are not available in the UK but are much safer... (5 point harnessing past 40lbs).

But _what would happen_? I heard that if you used a car seat illegally, it makes your car insurance void?

Any help....?
JM - I miss you too babby! I will be back, just not sure when yet. If you wanna chat, ask J for my email :)
I should add. My daughter is currently in a seat that rear faces to 55lbs, but forward faces with the 5pt harness to 40lbs (a Brio Zento). I'd rather keep her in a 5 point harness for as long as possible.... it's just frustrating that they're not available in Europe :(

Question #17:

Used car gone wrong, options?

My other half bought a car from a friend of a friend last friday, as it was someone we trusted we took her word for it that it was ok, the noise that it was making would be an easy fix.
Aparently not.
Less than a week later, we've been told that it's dangerous to drive the car as the exhaust is broken in 4 different places and has been for some time. It's not even road worthy.
Got hold of the seller and basically got told "It's not my problem anymore" as you can guess we're raging at spending lots of cash on a car, and having to spend even more than we paid for it, to get it road worthy. The registration documents have yet to be signed so the car isn't registered to us yet.
Is there any kind of road we can go down to get our money back or something as we feel we've been sold damaged goods passed off as ok. By a 'mate', which sucks even more.

Question #18:

How long after an accident do I have to wait before I get a rental car?

I was hit on the drivers side and my car had to be towed. I'm a college student and have a part time job so I need transportation and that was my only car. I know nothing of the process because I've been in an accident before. A police report was filed and I called my insurance company but it's been two days and I haven't heard from them(insurance company). I have no other choice but to miss work since I have a broken arm(result of the accident) and at my job I need use of both of them(I have notified them so they know I'm not just missing work). But I could still go to class and record the lectures/notes but don't have a way to get there. I also don't currently have a way to get back and forth from the doctor.

Since the accident wasn't my fault(the lady who hit me ran a red light on her side--mines was green),shouldn't her insurance pay for my rental car? Or should mines provide a rental? How long does it usually take to get everything sorted out so I can get a rental? What am I supposed to do?

Question #19:

How do I get rid of this blistering car paint?

I am not sure if you call it blistering or bubbling. It looks like a spot where my car has acne. It looks shiny and metallic.

I was painting my car and ran out of black paint, so I used Duplicolor high heat metallic paint that is meant for engines or rims.

Now I have these bubbling blisters on some of my car. Any suggestions how to get them off. I tried using wet sand paper and sanding the area, then adding black paint, but the area started to peel off and looks grey. I kept adding more paint to the area where I sanded the blisters, but nothing stopped the flaking except some clear coat.... The black paint would just come off, but clear voat helped some stick.

Question #20:

Which leg to be used naturally to drive an automatic car in India?

Since, there is no clutch in an automatic car to be used the left leg is generally idle while driving an automatic car in US. By default (or by design - out of the showroom without any alterations to the car) which leg is used to drive an automatic car in India? In US, I use my right leg for my brakes and gas pedal (accelerator). Is it the same way (using right leg) in India too when driving an automatic car?

Thanks.
