I like to keep my cars for a long period of time 7-10 years if possible. Will parts be hard to find for a GT or GXP since this car is made in australia and I'm sure its production numbers will be low?

My sister in law was just served divorced papers. In the document it states: "Service - respondent has signed a waiver of service affidavit. As such, no service on respondent will be necessary for proper notice of the filing of this divorce"

She has not signed a waiver of service affidavit. What does this section mean in regular English? Does it mean that if she signs the papers the divorce can go thru without notifying her?

My sister in law was just served divorce papers. She has no job and no income. Some of the wording in the document is suspicious. What happens if she doesn't agree and doesn't sign it?

My son's b-day is August 31st and he will be 5 years old. Cut off in our district is actually Sept 1. He is currently going to 4 year old preschool and dong fine more or less. The teacher says he can go to their pre-K class (for 5 year olds) there at the church. But I wonder if they are just saying that for the $$?

We are also thinking about moving in 2010 after school is over so I had two scenarios in mind thinking my son is literally on the fence in multiple ways:

1) Send him to the church pre-K (downside is is not free)

2) Send him to kindergarten and if doesn't do so well, we will move anyway and he will have kindergarten again in another school (downside is we may not move and he will be more aware of what is going on).

Any opinions? I don't like the idea of him being either the youngest or oldest in class but in this case there is no happy median.

My sister in law fled her residence in another state due to her bad marriage. The husband has now field for divorce but the divorce papers are all messed up. We have been trying to hire a local lawyer where the soon to be ex husband lives but it seems many dont want to work with someone just over the phone.

Anyway, we found this one guy who says since no children, and really no money is involved, if we pay him $1,500 upfront as a retainer, he will go on the court date assigned and thinks he can get her divorced that day. He thinks it should be an easy thing and only a days work for him. Other lawyers we talked with want twice as much $$. Never had to deal with lawyers before, is forking out so much upfront a standard thing? Should we try this guy?

My sister in law came here to the US and married a citizen. But he didn't take care of her (no insurance, no shared bank account, no proof of living together) and treated her badly (maybe infidelity?). Now she is temporarily living with us and wants to stay here until the divorce is finalized. Any chance of that? What should we do? Should she just give power of attorney to her sister and go home?

I go to a barber shop in which 2 of the 3 barbers are great...only problem is lately the barber that is open has been the bad one. Since usually you just go to the open slot, how do I tell the person I don't want him to cut my hair?

Recently purchased a truck and checked the power steer fulid. Upon opening it, it smells burned and not quite right. Is it just old or a sign of some other problem. Should i get it flushed?

I thinking about lifting my truck just a few inches (2-4). A friend said they have different kids of lift kits (body vs. suspension?) I dont need it for off roading, just want to be up a bit higher. What is the best method for me that is also inexpensive?

My auto trans on the new 1993 blazer i bought two weeks ago seems to be shifting a bit hard between 1st and 2nd gear.....you can feel a lunge and a bump sometimes espicially when i give it a lot of gas. Otherwise it feels fine. Would a new transmission filter and fluid help or does it need to be checked out professionally?

I have recently got a 1993 chevy full size blazer. It needs new front seats and a middle storage compartment. What other years and vehicles are compatiable?

My wife just loves the salon selectives stay flexible finishing spray. In an ironic twist, when she learned they quit making it, I had to go around town to just about everywhere and buy the stuff (I guess the stuff is flexible but she isnt?, LOL). Now that her 1+ year (?) old supply is down to the last bottle she would like to know what is the best finishing spray that is similar that she can try. She wants a flexible hold without a lot of perfume smell.

I know that in 1997 the F-150 came out with a 3rd door that opens. When did Chevy Silverados get them? What about Dodge and the others? First year made will help!

What is better to use if you want to check the history of a car? In the VIN I want to check, the "free" autocheck shows 15 records but the "free" car fax shows only 11. Is one service better than the other?

Right now I have a 1979 Dodge Ram Charger but its too rusted. I want a 1990s model like it (Bronco, full size Blazer, Ykon, etc). Should I look at a K1500 Blazer with 290,000 + miles? I assume with that many miles, the engine has been reworked/replaced, the current owner doesnt know. Is it worth investigating? I just want it for weekend work and hauling a bit (like my dogs), not a daily driver.

I have a 1988 yellow Fiero GT with less than 27K on it. My understanding is that only 241 yellow GTs were made that year. It has been garaged and only used on special occasions but after 14 years of owning it, its time to sell. What should be my asking price and what is the best site to use to sell it? E-bay? Autotrader? Others?

I know that the Ford Bronco was one and early Dodge RamChargers also had the ability to remove their tops and look more like a truck with a back seat. What others are their out there? Is thier a specific model that is cheaper to buy used?
