On Wednesday, I'm looking at a Buick Century 2000 with low mileage (15,000), which was confirmed using carfax. I looked up the 'blue book retail for dealers' price, which was $6,400. On the phone, the dealer said the price was $10,000. If everything seems to check out, what would be a good...

...by car or the tires? I have a 95 Buick Century that feels hard to control when the road is wet from rain (no matter if it's a drizzle or downpour) going downhill, even when angle of the slope isn't that much. Even when I tap the breaks it feels 'skiddish", and I had a few close calls-almost...

mechanical problem? I have only driven compact cars until I got a 95 Buick Century V6. It has 80,000 miles and any time I've had it tuned up, the mechanics say it's basically fine. But sometimes I drive my g/f's car which is a Honda Accord 2008, and the ride feels much sturdier, for instance...

I want to buy a budget car (I don't drive more than 4,000 miles a year, and never have more than one passenger in it. I don't car about features or bells & whistles. I want to pay cash so as not to worry about monthly loan payments (I hate monthly payments!), but I don't have a lot of money, so...

I developed a slideshow with my own photographs and added an audio music track (mp3 file); the theme is based on a greek myth. There's tons of slideshow software programs, but I can't find sites where you can upload your slideshow for viewers to watch so you don't have to start from scratch by...

I got a Kindle as a present and had to return it because you have to click the forward and backward buttons to advance pages, and I can't do that since I had neurosurgery on my hand from keyboarding and doing computer graphics ten hours a day. The action on the Kindle is like clicking a mouse...

The reason I used the adjective 'educated' is because I saw a comment on a website for book editors written by a book editor that used the construction, "The social media is a big factor in the spread of e-books." Now, I could see making an argument that you could put all the social media in one...

I found a baseball book in a hotel and read it in one evening, but now I don't recall the name or author. Do you know it? The focus of the book was how a new MLB general manager (and former player) some time in the 1990's on an expansion team decided to use statistics on prospects rather than go...

I have been asked to ghostwrite/edit a book that will be about 200,000 words long--which is about 450-500 typewritten pages. I know the fee I believe is fair and consistent with 'industry standards.' Should I just explain the fee to the client, or should I also provide a "fact sheet" or "rate...

I would try freewriting. Just start writing the beginning over and over again until you think you are onto something interesting. Then continue the story from there.
