Which of these cars would you?

Which of these cars would you buy and why?

a) toyota camry
b) toyota prius
c) subaru legacy
d) honda accord
e) honda civic.

thanks for your opinions.

Answer
if I have a family (i.e., kids, wife) i would choose the Camry or Accord depending on the price tag. I like both of these cars because they are very reliable, safe, good on gas consumption. If well maintained these two manufacturers can last up to 15+ years or 200k+ miles easily. Ohh! these are facts by the way there are data proving these claims (Consumer's Report). In the long run you can save thousands of dollars because you don't have to buy another car for the next decade.

Now, if I was still young and active the Honda Civic will be my choice to drive around the cities because this car is very popular amongst the 18+ age group. This is also a good second car or a daily driver, meaning you can drive to work and school everyday without worrying about breaking down on you. The car is very lightweight and small that it will save you money on gas.

As of today, Toyota Prius is the ultimate electric-gas powered (Hybrid) vehicle in today's automotive market. Environmentalist like this particular model because it's practically almost emission-less. The technological combination of electric and gas translates to less emission of carbon monoxide, which is the leading cause of global warming. In addition, this car can also save you gas money.

Can I put a 12v car battery in a kids electric jeep?

Steam

I was recently given two electric ride on toys for kids. Both a beat up pretty bad but the motors work, batteries don't. The factory batteries are expensive sooooo.... I was wondering if a car/atv/motorcycle/ battery would work? The originals were 12v. I do know there is a safety issue as far as liquid acid from gel acid but I have a container solution for that. I'm more curious about it exploding,lighting on fire or another unforeseen issue. Any thoughts before I try it? Don't answer if you are going to say " don't ever use anything but factory approved blah blah blah.." These are junk and the " you cant do that " crowd does not interest me unless it is backed up by scientific fact. Kids will not be driving these either. Any other junk yard tinkerers out there with some sage words of advice?
12v all the way, not Power Wheels plus the batteries are clearly labeled. Gotta say I love the actual experience with the John deer. Like it was brought up do u know if he had a problem with the battery lasting over multiple charges?

Answer
Yes it will work for sure. My father inlaw has a john deere toy tractor for his nieces that runs on a car battery. That thing runs for ever too instead of the 15-20 minutes the factory battery is good for. Just every once in a while you will have to hook it up to a car battery charger. They can be expensive, hope you have one. The kids will love you for it. Lol. Good luck.

Since we own(Taxpayers&Government)80% of GM,why can't we start making an Electric Car?

kids electric cars to drive image

Out of the

I asked a question earlier today about watching"Who Killed the Electric Car" on the Green Channel.Let me know what you think about the movie,if you watched it.We are polluting "MOTHER EARTH" quicker than we thought,and I live on the Northern California where gas is $3.40 a gallon-I think higher than any place but Alaska.We are being ripped off and it time to do something different,you think?

Answer
Because there is too much money to be made. End of story.

The gas/petrol we pump into our cars is making someone an absolute fortune. When someone has an absolute fortune they have absolute power and total control. They will bleed the earth dry before they make changes.

(ED - below)

Running your kids to school and driving to work does not require 0-60 in 3 seconds. You have no clue what you are talking about. Also, what the hell does climate change have to do with peak oil? Doh.

Can a car company sue you if you drive a car they don't want you to drive after sold?

Blue

There is an Electric car from the 90's college kids rebuilt it. Some of them we're sold on accident , others where crushed after the lease was up on them. The car company sent them a cease and desist after rebuilding the old broken down one that was left which was sold on accident to them. Can a car company sue/take away a car they sold to them?

Answer
The right to bring a lawsuit exists until it is proven that the lawsuit is without merit or standing. The outcome depends upon how title was transferred, and the obligations involved. Here is an example. http://www.alternativeenergy.com/profiles/blog/show?id=1066929:BlogPost:9928 And like this one GM can take away the vehicle and say that there was no interest, but this does not take away the experience of those who worked on the vehicles or the joy in resurrecting one from the dead.

What are the chances of surviving 5 accidents?

kids electric cars to drive image

Nicholas

First let me say, in any of these anyone else or myself were at all hurt. Every accident ended up totaling the car as well. Each accident was caused by me having a seizure and no I am not driving now so no comments are needed about me staying off the road.
. The first accident was me crashing into the back of a school bus. No kids were in the bus at the time. I slammed into the back of the bus, crushing the whole hood and engine of my car. I lifted up the back end of the bus and my car was covered to the windshield.
The second was caused by, flying up over a curb and running into a brick wall. The front end of the car and the engine were crushed together against the wall.
The third was running into a 20 foot wooden electric pole, knocking the pole to the ground and rolling over. I woke up hanging upside down in my car by my seat belt. I tried getting out on my own but had trouble because I was disoriented and unable to find the lock for the seat belt. The passenger side had the roof crushed down to the seat and arm rest about 6 inches away from my body. Then of course the front end was pushed in as well.
The fourth I was driving on the express way and blacked out. When I blacked out I went to the left and dragged the driver side again the cement wall. I woke up shortly after, still driving with half the car dragging on the ground. I drove off the express way and got into a walmart parking lot a ways down the road so I could figure out what to do. In that crash the whole driver side was smashed in, the window was shattered and half of the car was dragging across the ground.
The fifth one was driving down the express way again going about 70 and blacking out. I crashed into the back of a car causing the car behind me to crash in my back end and spinning me across four lanes. When I was spinning across those lanes I hit a hummer and ended up crashing head on into a tree down on the side of the road. I woke up from that already standing outside my car trying to figure out what to do.
As I said in any of these accidents I never got a scratch on me or anyone else. I am wondering what you think the chances are of me and everyone else surviving those. Also, after hearing this does it make you think of guardian angels? Or even God preventing everything bad from happening for some reason?
I forgot to say what kind of car each accident was done in. The first was a 2001 crown victoria, the second a 2000 nissan altima, the third a 2005 Mitsubishi lancer, the fourth a 2006 bmw z3 convertible and the final vehicle a 2008 chrysler sebring convertible. By the way in the final crash the air bags did not go off.

How much is considered a good pay per hour in todays world?

The_Magic_

How much do u need to make a hour to live comfortably on? No kids. No Wife.

Answer
That all depends on a few factors. A "comfortable wage" differs between San Joaquin and San Francisco, for starters. My 2/1 apartment in Fresno runs $850 per month. For the same layout in as nice a neighborhood in, say, Anaheim, you can go ahead and double the rent. Let's say you're picking a nice starter apartment for $650.

Secondly, your lifestyle has a major impact on your financial needs. Obviously you have internet, so there's $40 a month. With cable, you can easily add another $30 to that monthly tab. Then there's a matter of utilities. In temperate regions, you can expect a $50 monthly electric bill, with another $10 gas for a 1/1 (you're a single guy, right?)
Start running that air conditioner in the summer, and you can expect at least another $100 in the summertime (I used to live in a 2/1 apartment with a $300 monthly summer electric bill, so you want to factor that in).
Groceries round off another $150 per month, let's say you use $40 in gas per week (that's $160 monthly) if you plan on driving. For simplicity's sake, let's assume for a minute that you've paid in full for your '91 Taurus that you found on Craigslist, so we'll keep a car payment off of the budget (for now), but factor in another $75 for insurance, and say you like to eat out twice a week (there's another $160 monthly).

With this example, you're looking at monthly expenses of $1325. Broken down into 4-40 hour workweeks, you would need to earn $331.25 per week, or $8.28 per hour. So, in a smaller town, you could survive, just barely, on California Minimum wage.

My advice? Save up for a vasectomy and find a good woman to split the rent with.
