I'm looking at possibly getting a new guitar amp head/cabinet, but I'm having a hard time finding heads and cabinets that match power levels, especially if I have to buy used. I was thinking of going with a 200 watt head and 400 watt cab, because I figure a lower powered head will keep from blowing the speakers. But I'm wondering if it will leave me with a muddy sound, or if the sound levels will be lower than a 200 watt combo amp because the speaker cab is too big for the head.

And I was wondering how much it would cost to take it to a shop. Also, how feasible is it to swap out the rear with a jeep wrangler? Are there any other vehicles that would be easier that are comparible to the Dana 44?

When the leader crosses the finish line in NASCAR, does that end the race, with the place of the other drivers fixed at that point, or do the rest of the drivers continue racing in order to improve their position?

I'm starting school for an aviation science degree, and at the end I'll have a commercial license with multi-engine and instructor ratings. I want to eventually get my commercial helicopter license too, but the school doesn't have that. Will I need to start training all over again at a helicopter school, or will I be able to go right into commercial training? Is there an extensive ground school for this as well, or will I be able to concentrate on getting hours?

I have this old gun...

As it says, it's a Savage Fox mod. B 12 ga. No serial numbers, so I know it's pretty old, but it chambers 2 3/4 shells and it shoots great. I'm just wondering how much a gun like this would be worth.

I currently have a yellow-bellied slider. I'm wanting to get a red-eared slider. Can you mix turtle species like that? I'm not planning on breeding them or anything, but I wanted a different type of turtle so I can tell them apart easier.

How long is it good for? I'm in Afghanistan, have a year left, and I was wondering whether they are good for six months or a year. I don't want to waste time getting one now if it won't be any good, but I want to reenlist as soon as possible so I can get a nice fat bonus.

I just bought a compass and sextant. Both are brass, and have Kelvin & Hughes 1917 stamped on them. My question is, are these antique? Is the date stamped on them when they were made, or when the company was founded?

I have a Dodge truck that I love, but I will deploy to Iraq and my wife needs a car (she likes to hit things with my truck). I was thinking about the Caliber because I was impressed with the workmanship on my truck, and the lifetime powertrain warranty looks good, but I want to know if anyone has heard anything bad about the car?
