    Need a reliable, cheap dd (AKA I hate VW)

    There was a recommendation for a subaru forester. How are those mechanically? Pretty reliable? I've never had an AWD vehicle, never worked on a boxer motor, so i'm kinda leery about it. If I got one, it would be an early 2000's model. Do they age fairly well?

    Need a reliable, cheap dd (AKA I hate VW)

    Thanks for the input :) gonna get the bug running so that I can get it sold, then the hunt begins. If anything else comes to mind, I'm still open to suggestions :) My wife asked about one of those ugly prius hybrids. Anybody here had any experience with them?

    Need a reliable, cheap dd (AKA I hate VW)

    So, I had some friends that drove VWs, loved them, loved the gas mileage, seemed pretty good. So, I bought my wife a 2003 Beetle TDI with 75k miles. In the 13k miles and less than one year that I have owned it, I have had to replace the cylinder head (because the timing belt went out at 82k...

    Gentlemans club

    I dont think that will be sufficient in my case; I stopped even looking anywhere On-topic a couple years ago when my car broke down and I didn't have money to work on it. My browser bookmark goes straight to off-topic :)

    Motorcycles - First time buyer/rider

    I second this quote. People will look straight at you and not see you. The last time I drove my bike, I was driving it home from the shop that was 2 hours from my house. On this single trip, I had 3 near/misses. First, a car pulled out right in front of me in Montgomery, and I laid on both...

    Need help finding a type of work pants

    thats the basic idea, kinda like pants with chaps built in. the protection of chaps without chaps getting in the way. I'll still wear my shoeing chaps when i'm trimming horses, but i can always use an extra barrier (hoof nails are sharper than they look). EDIT: 2 pair on the way, lets see if i...

    Need help finding a type of work pants

    I saw somebody wearing a pair of these work pants, but I cant find them anywhere. The legs are a tough heavy canvas, but the seat and part of the thigh are denim. I have googled every combination i can think of and can't find them. My work pants are getting worn, and these things looked too...

    Any doctors around?

    The only reason I have health insurance is because I am married, and I work in a hospital. The hospital subsidizes around 60-65% of our health insurance, so for me it is worth it. If it wasn't for that benefit, I would just put more of my check into savings for just in case. Oh, and those...

    Paypal Sucks!!!

    Huge "NAY" on more government regulation. If you are dissatisfied, contact them. If you are still dissatisfied, don't use them.

    Any doctors around?

    They are used for arthritis, but they are simply more powerful NSAIDs, like ibuprofen, aspirin, etc. Arthrotec is nice in that it won't upset your stomach (unless you are pregnant). Can't really give you odds, but unless it was a bad tear, it should heal up fine. Just don't use it for any real...

    Any doctors around?

    Immobilizing while at work is ok, but you should perform range of motion on it daily (just gentle motion, no actual work). Take either the aspirin (325mg, 1 pill) 3x daily, or take ibuprofen/advil 3x-4x daily (200mg per pill, 2 pills with each dose)(don't exceed 2400mg in one day.), or you can...

    Nursing Sucks. Pre-med here I come. If I can get the right class schedule (and balance the work schedule well enough to pay for it), I'll be ready for MCATs in a year. Wish me luck people. Because I can't stand being an RN. Other people may love it and worship the profession, but I just can't do...
