Open Question: border wall leaving...
i live on the very southern tip of texas and the main problem, is that the boreder wall will leave some americans who live near the border on the wrong side of the wall when the construction is completehere is one lady's situation: she immigrated to the US decades ago from england but gained her citizenship when she married a g.i. the problem is that she lives almost two miles from the river and when the wall is up her home/property will be on the other side of the wallanother situation is that a UNIVERSITY may also be placed on the wrong side of the wall, well a part of it. the university is called (if you wish to look it up) The University of Texas at Brownsville or UTBwhat is your opinion on american citizens' homes/properties being placed on the other side of the wall as well as a university? what do you think would solve the problem? (and dont say the wall shouldnt be built anyways or the wall wont help the US etc etc etc because the fact IS the wall WILL be built, thanks!)obviously a university's' building cant jus be knocked down and built a few feet over.im asking should the US pay for their property so that they can afford to live else where and for the US pay for the university to build a new building for themobviously

Open Question: Harley Sportster...
I have found 2 potential Sportster to buy for my next bike. One is a 2002 883 with 11,000 miles on it. it doesnt have many after market parts but looks like a clean bike. Its a private seller (in the midwest) and he is asking $4000 for it. It looks like a really good deal, but should i be worried he is trying to rip me off some how? The second bike i am looking at is a 2000 883 with a lot of after market parts. Its a private seller, but the guy works for the local Harley Dealership, and it seems like the bike was taken care of. He wants $4500 for it (originally 4700). The exhaust is LOUD..almost too loud (call me crazy). but i have to work early mornings and dont want to wake the entire neighborhood up while i pull out. What would be a good exhaust that would give me some roar, but that wouldnt kill my ears. I think the 2002 looks a little better, but am worried something might B wrong because of the lower price, plus i would have to drive 3 hours to go pick it up. Suggestions?
Open Question: e90 325 (2006, 3.0...
Hi.I had my ecu remapped by powerchip.Noticed torque increase, car was much more fun to drive.then I removed the muffler and put a straight pipe instead with exhaust tips.(amazing sound, lots of other ppl have done this but since they hadnt had their ecus remapped they do not share the same problem)After this modification with the muffler, I have lost alot of low end torque. Im getting only 14 mile to the gallon??( before this I was getting 22)I dont know what to do?maybe this mod needs to adjusted to the ecu by having the ecu remapped again?q1. if that is the problem will I should I have lost any torque after this exhaust mod?q2.I also want to add an intake, is this adviseable since I dont want to loose any low end torque.would much appreciate any helpthanks in advance

I'm hiring a standard long wheel base diesel transit to drive abroad in. Does anyone know around how many MPG i can expect when it's fully loaded (wooden furniture, TV, sofa etc) and driving at a reasonable speed (overall average speed 50 mph)?

Open Question: Blown Head Gasket?
Hi,I'm wondering if having the early stages of a blown head gasket affects MPG, and HP. Becasue I have a 1996 Ford Taurus GL and found out it has the early/agressive stage of a blown head gasket. I'm, only getting about 217 miles out of my tank, and noticed that I've lost a lot of power in my engine. I was wondering if I got the head gasket fixed, will my MPG and HP improve?And also, my car is starting to over heat too. I'm guessing that's a sign of a blown head gasket.Thank you in advance for your answer.

Open Question: What's the best way to...
I recently graduated from college and just got a job offer. It's a good one, but in a town 1500 miles away. I'm not getting any job offers here, it's a small miracle I got a decent offer with the way the current economy is. I've been competing with up to 200 other applicants for every single job!But we're broke right now. No money, no loans, and the relatives are currently broke too. But I have to get myself, hubby and two kids and our stuff from here to there. Hubby is in a job where he can transfer to our new location easily.So, does anyone know of a way we can get ourselves and our stuff to my new job on less than a shoestring budget?

Open Question: What is wrong with my...
I was mowing my lawn and I went in for lunch. When i came back, there was a big oil leak coming from the air filter and the air filter was hopelessly soaked with oil?? I cleaned it up and when i was about to close the cap with the new filter in it, gas started leaking out of the same place the oil was leaking out of, except the gas had no signs of any oil in it. I cleaned that up and started it, but the blade was spinning like 10 times faster than it should and the machine was vibrating like crazy. Not to mention that the noise could probably have been heard for miles. Plus after like a minute of running, the thing heated up to over 275 degrees F. I really don't want to pay like 150 dollars for a repair or 350 for a new one. It is only like 2 years old.

For about two weeks I had this sudden motivation and I did an hour of tae bo (kick boxing) a day plus i walked four miles and did 100-150 sit-ups. then i got a cold and i just stopped. now its been a week and a half since i did anything expect grocery shopping and i suddenly feel horribly depressed because i havent exercised. however i try to push myself and nothing. i cant motivate myself. i tell myself, "oh its getting too late tonight to work out" or "im so tired and bloated" or "maybe tomorrow". my fiance promised to help but all he does at the end of the day is say, "so work out today?". thats at like 10 at night. i told him, "cant we work out together"? because he's VERY active but he said, "oh yah totally" and then he goes off by himself and forgets about me! he says, "im not your keeper" but i know that i just need help! what do i do? how can i get back on track?sometimes also i overreat (by overreat i mean 2,000 calories a day which is normal for some but my doctor said i have a slow metabolism because of my PCOS and being insulin resistant and that i need to cut back to 1,500) and when i overreat i get down on myself and say, "ive already screwed up today why even try?". how can i get help?
Open Question: Elderly family member.?
Let me tell you about this family member of mine before I tell you about my dilemma. He is 92 years old, very active. Drives to Atlantic city and back (100+ miles from home), does auto mechanics (changes tires), He has no signs of getting older, Anywho. I was recently in an accident with my 1998 Buick Century, I got it in April (First Car). My insurance won't cover the damage, Since I have Liabilty, Full Coverage too much (Jersey Boy). I work at New car dealership about trading my car in as the deposit and fees for $500. They wouldn't accept it, I WORK THERE, CLEAN UP THEIR LOT. Anywho, That didn't work, I went a well-known TRUSTED Used Car Lot. I got myself a 2001 Chevrolet Blazer LT. The family member is pissed off at me, why I did it. I told him that I don't have money to repair my car, I rather finance and somewhat build more credit. He's like "I could repair it for less", I told him I want a hood that matched my car and properly installed. I don't know what his problem is.
Open Question: help I'm going crazy?
I live in the middle of nowhere a few miles outside a small city with my parents and I am going crazy. I have barely any human contact apart from my family. Sometimes I feel like doing something really terrible to someone. I have control over myself though. I have so much pent up emotion and I don't know what to do with it. I can't get angry because if I do I will be thrown out of the house and I will be homeless. But I am living like a robot. I feel like I am being controlled by my parents, and although I generally maintain a composed demeanor, I am raging inside. One small thing can set me off and I feel like attacking my mother or father or brother. I know this sounds like I am a psycho, but this is like a prison sentence. My parents do a lot for me...buy my food, wash my clothes etc and they call me lazy even though I do some housework. But they refuse to acknowledge that I'm 22 years old and I have no human contact apart from a few words a day to them, the rest is spent on the PC.A guy has his needs. I want to have relationships with women, I want friends, I want independence yet they expect me to be a good little boy and do the housework without any kind of expectation of some fun as a reward. I am losing the little ability I once had to talk to other people. You could say I should go out and get friends and a job etc, but I can't. They want me to be that shy, cute little child that they once knew so I am obliged to be that way, but it's not me. I want to grow and have experiences, but I can't while I'm living here. I also feel guilty for leaving home because I know how upset my parents were when I left home a few years ago (I came back and have been living here for a year). The atmosphere was depressing when I used to visit. There was mold in the teapot. It is clear that me and my brothers are the only thing that keeps their relationship together. I am so full of resentment at my mother especially, she has given me so much grief and put me down so much!!!!!!The reason things are getting close to the bone now is that I am actually gonna be doing some volunteer work in a far away country, like the other side of the world (for 3 months)sure, that'll solve my getting out of the house problem, but holy shit, how the fuck am I gonna cope? New country, loads of new people, loads of human contact, loads of physical work...when what I'm used to is watching TV with my parents every day, for fuck sake. How am I gonna avoid having a mental breakdown? Thanks for all the replies by the way.
Open Question: What's wrong with my...
I own a P reg (1997) Nissan Micra (or Nissan March for those living out of the UK) 1.0 16v.I am having just one problem with the car and would like to know why it is happening and if there is a solution.Whenever the car is stalled (for reasons such as not giving it enough gas), it has difficulties starting up again.When I turn the key, the engine turns over, but doesn't normally catch on and start unless I feather the throttle. When it finally does start, the engine idles quite rough and sounds as though it could cut out at any moment. After the car has been driven for a few miles, things seem to return to normal, but if I drive the car a short distance, I may face the same problem when I try and start up again.What could be the cause of this problem, and are there any solutions?I have (coincidentally) recently tried a dose of Redex and this hasn't made any difference.All suggestions welcome! Thanks

Also the air bags went off so i'll need new ones.The car is silver it has 100,000 miles on it, it has a leather interior, power everything, sunroof, OZ Rims, the turbo spoiler, and the car is lowered. i'll be driving the car during the winter so if I do buy it i'll have to get it raised.Also my cousin owns a shop so I was going to get him to check it out and give me his opinion, and he can get my parts cheaper.So here is my question with everything i have listed do you think it is worth it for me to fix it up ? I just want another opinion, and my cousin will be checking it out before it buy it.Thanks

Anyway, because I am married and have a baby and am living on a Marine Corps base 600 some miles away from my closest family and friends, I'm struggling with what to do for my birthday. Money is tight, so it can't cost a lot. Any ideas?I like your idea katzmeow, and I wish it were my husband asking, instead of me, but at 21 years old, he, right now, is in my bathroom vomiting. Yay fourth of July!!!!

Open Question: How many miles/days...
Actually I'm starting from Sunmer and intend to take WA 410, the Chinook Pass. How long do you think a hiker would take to get there? I can't compute the miles and obviously it's mountainous. Hyw 410 follows a river all the way (google earth) so I figure I can camp along the way without having to carry it as one does in the desert. Since it's a tourist route I assume I won't die of starvation :-)Yup, I'm taking a walkabout, got 3 weeks to kill and need to get out of the city. Yes I am experienced hiker. Just can't figure out how far it is. ThanksThanks PIKA ! But I have to tell you that any bunnies in my path are fair game :-) OK, I don't really expect to make it "there and back again" but when half my 3 weeks expires I'll turn around and come back, having had a fine adventure. Just hoping to figure out what that turnaround point might be (or if I can reach the mountain !!)It's not the destination, but the journey. Still, some facts would be helpful. Anyone ever been over Chinook Pass? I know it's always closed in winter and they don't allow big trucks, so it might be quiet.
