Open Question: 1979 VW bus transporter for a 17 year old?

Okay, I am a Senior in high school and I will be graduating in June, but arrive this summer I will be driving to Alaska (from Ohio). So, I am going to school in Australia, and I want a bus to steer across the United States to Alaska. I would be going with my cousins and we would steer to California, then to Alaska. Now, do you think this is a good decision? It would be a summer car and once I head off to school in Australia, my dad would either sell it, or it would be kept with my cousins. If my dad did decide to let me have it, it would be within the next 4 weeks (winter) What's the Mpg? What's the likelihood of it breaking down? (%?) If you think this is an absolutely horrible idea, than what is a good van/bus to steer across the United States in? (for say around 7 to 8 people) the trip would most likely take around 5 weeks...... thank you thank you! Oh yeah!, here are the two buses that I am currently interested in..... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Cars-Trucks___1979-Volkswagen-Bus-type-2-100-Original-no-rust_W0QQitemZ170280238860QQddnZCarsQ20Q26Q20TrucksQQddiZ2282QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUS_Cars_Trucks?hash=item170280238860&_trksid=p4506.c0.m245&_trkparms=65%3A7%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318#ht_1004wt_0 http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=688405 P.S I will be paying for insurance and gas, not my dad!

Open Question: Car accident and I left the scene ?

So it was a minor accident, nobody injured and little car damage. we both got out of the car talked then the guy asks for my insurance, I say okay and receive in the car, noticing I have no damage, the other driver gets in his car and pulls into his driveway (it happened right in front of his home) at which time I just steer off. He probably didn't look my plates so I am wondering if anything can happen. Also if he did somehow receive my plates will my insurance contact me or the police and in what time?

Open Question: Did anyone really like Twilight?

I actually just saw it an hour ago, but I already know how i feel. I really adore the actual series of books by Stephanie Meyer, but I just saw the movie, and I think it was awful. The only reason i don't hate it is because it was so HILARIOUS! The acting was HORRIBLE! Why are Angela and Eric suddenly Japanese? What was with the randomly going off into the woods before school started? What is up with jacob? What about the spring dance? It wasn't PROM mike and eric asked her to, it was the girls-ask-boys spring dance!!! What happened to when edward and bella were sitting together at lunch? it's like BAM "we shouldnt be friends," BAM Edward saves her from a gang or rapists, and BAM theyre making out in her bedroom! WTF?!?! What about Jacob? WHY WAS CARLISLE SO CREEPY?!?! The only GOOD thing about this movie, was Robert Pattinson as Edward. I thought he did really well. I thought the movie was a disapointment, but if you haven't read the book, you really should! I probably will look the sequel, just to look if it's as bad as the first. Probobly worse, considering Edward, or lack thereof. Important scenes that were missing: -"Do I dazzle you?" at the restaurant -Carlisle's story -Blood typing -Bella's letter to Edward -Bella and Edward sitting together at lunch -Tyler asking Bella to the dance -Edward driving like a maniac -I also thought the whole car-accident thing was a little lacking.

Open Question: Do you think i was rude to her?

I work at quick food store and when I was working on steer thru yesterday , I took a customers order at the steer thru speaker and when she came to the window to pay for her order she gave a dirty look and she said "tell your manager that I am going to sue them because I just destroyed my car with a bump while she was driving on steer thru." then I just said” well no one asked to you to arrive". After that I told one of my coworkers and she told me that that was rude for me to say that to her. Do you think I was rude?

Open Question: Funny question about Yahoo answers?

Has anyone else noticed the dumb useless inconsequential questions constantly being asked in the every questions section? I just thought I'd ask to look if anyone is out there paying attention. I think it's silly how people post their problems and leave you to figure them out. They might even just be totally made up situations. Then people sit there and upon deep contemplation they answer. It's so freakin silly. I also admire the questions containing HELLLP PLEASE. Ha ha ha ha that one just pulls you right in don't it? For every you guys out there...don't try to answer a chicks question about a relationship 'cause we don't understand that stuff and don't need to and if you read too much into it you might as well bend over and spread 'em baby 'cause your manhood has just vegetated and now you're a fruit! I'm not hatein on you ladies out there I'm just lookin out for my boys. I also must admire those extremely vague and open ended questions that don't even really ask anything. I like to read people's answers to those, it's silly stuff. Do you like those really short simple questions that just demand a long complicated answer, like how does a car work? or somethin else to put you running on a treadmill and going nowhere. I like those questions that have a lot of captivating and engaging writting in them that basically pulls a commitment out of you to answer, like this one! Do you like those questions that ask multiple questions? Well, that's my question. Can you answer it? Try it out, take your time, think about it. I'd adore to know your answers.

She seems to be great but likes to snip/chase the cat and has snipped at 1 pal when he approched her window in the car. Hoping that was just protection and the cat is just a puppy thing. Any info would be great.

Open Question: I am kinda pissed off at two of my friends?

Normally I do these quiz questions our teacher gives us before quizzes to study off of for the quiz with two of my friends and for our purposes their names will be Brett and Bob. So normally we go on skype and talk about them blah blah blah. Yesterday at Track practice Brett left earlier, he told coach he was sick, and he pretty much isnt too great at track so i thought he just wanted to leave. When i talked to him later to do the questions he said he was sick and going to bed. When i talked to Bob to do the questions he said he wasnt doing them, and Bob always reads the chapter like 2 times and does the quiz questions like 2 times aswell. I knew something was up at least for Bob. Today they both werent in school. I figured something was going on. I go to practice arrive home, and find out they went to boston, Brett gives me this whole speech about how he was sick and went to snooze but he was in Bobs car at the time, which wasnt his bed like he told me yesterday, which is a lie. They went up too look at colleges, and the fact that Bob didnt ask me to go doesnt bother me cause i couldnt have gone eiterh way cause of track. But the issue that does bother me is the fact that they didnt tell me the truth yesterday when i asked them to do the questions. They said they didnt want to tell me cause there was only room for 2 people with his family, but I dont care about that. I care about the lies. The lies that were told to cover up the truth which was witheld from me. So basically am i wrong in being pissed off at both of them, cause i personally dont think so and netiher does my parents, they just thought it was bullshit as do i..

Open Question: I can't believe that I did it? I regret it?

Well...I usually dress pretty modestly (no thong, I wear girl boxers, I don't wear really low-clip tops, and no incredibly short skirts, etc- I'm 15, btw) except for just recently...I was going on a date (it was the day before my date, actually) with my boyfriend and I wanted to feel really sexy for some reason (I wasn't drunk or anything, I don't consume alcohol and never will) so I went to the mall and I went to Frederick's Of Hollywood (where I hardly ever go to, I usually go to VS instead) and I got this black/gold cheetah print top there and it's really inappropriate/revealing...it's very low-clip so like one-fourth of my diddies were like popping out of it and it was every tight in the bust area, and every flowy and loose at the bottom. there was padding below the place where one of your diddies would be below, and it REALLY pushes it up, so one diddi is kinda down and the other diddi is pushed up some, and you can almost look my nipple on that one. almost. it's classified as "intimate wear" and its a cami, you know, so it's sleeveless. sooo...i went on the date with my bf and the second he saw me he kept staring at me-at my chest. and wouldn't take his eyes off me. we sat really close next to each other at the booth in the restaurant, and my diddies brushed against him once. he didn't talk as much as usual during dinner. when we were done eating and after he payed the bill and we went outside in front of the restaurant on the way to his car, he stopped on the grass for a minute and started at my chest some more. i just stared back at him. then he slowly started walking towards me and he was soo close my diddies were brushing up against him and then he gently took his hands and slowly placed them on my diddies. he started massaging them and feeling them. he had NEVER done this before. i just keep staring at him. neither of us said a word. he was in a really horny faze. i had never seen him like that before. ever. then he stopped holding them and put his hands to his side. he kept staring at me. we were both making eye contact. then he started to lean back a little, which kinda pushed his wallie out. i could tell he was getting an erection. we were really really close. i felt it slightly brush against my jeans, my skinny jeans, where closely below my vag was located. then, for some reason, i started hugging him, and we were just sooo close, you know. then he stood abruptly up and then we started walking to the car. neither of us had said a word the entire time. we got in the car. still, neither of us said a word. he drove me to his home. his parents were not home. still neither of us said a word. we went upstairs to his bedroom. i knew what we were doing. we were gonna do it. i wasn't in my right mind at the time, and i dont think he was, either. we still didnt say a word, even as we got onto the bed and slowly undressed ourselves. actually, he undressed me, and i undressed him. we still didnt say a single word. he hadnt said a single word at every since dinner, and even then we scarcely talked at every. he eased his thang into my thang. it was a sensation i had never experienced before. i fell asleep in that uncomfortable position on his bed, with my legs bent down so my vag was open for him. he woke me up after some time. he was laying next to me, very close. my diddies brushed up against his chest, and his wallie brushed up against my legs. he just stared at me. finally, he said the first thing he had said for this whole entire time, since dinner, "what are we doing?" i said "i really don't know. i feel like it's because i was drunk or something, there is no other reason someone would act like this, but i swear to god i would never consume alcohol." he said he felt the same. we quickly put our clothes back on, he drove me back home, and quietly i went inside, that whole time, again, not saying a word. the next day at school we didnt talk to each other at every. it was really weird between us. i dont know what got into us! i can't believe i did it! i even wear a purity ring! i took it off in the morning, and i think he noticed. what do i do? im afraid of getting pregnant. we didnt use any sort of protection at every. is there still a chance that im not? i feel stupid. extremely stupid. seriously mentally retarded. and drunk. why did i do it? do i have mental issues or something? or is it just those wacky hormones again? please explain every this to me! JUST READ IT!!! PLEASE!!! I WOULD!!! AND I DID!!! I'M SORRY, BUT I CAN'T SHORTEN IT UP, THERE'S SOOO MUCH TO THE STORY, AND IT *HAS* TO HAVE every THOSE IMPORTANT LIL' DETAILS!!!! PLEASEEEEE READ THE ENTIRE THING!!!! Drugged my drink? only possibility i can think of. but he would never do such a thing, we've been dating for like a year, and he's the best guy in the world sooo sweet and caring and nice and just amazing and i was his pal before i was his girlfriend, and...i want to believe it, because there couldn't really be any other logical explanation, but i just cant! and im only 15! i dont know how to handle every of this! help me.... I know, I'm a slut. I was never slutty before, I dressed reasonably and stuff, but now I feel like a slut. I don't know what got into me. I'm scared. If I tell my mom, I swear to God, she will NOT understand! She'll think that I WANTED to do it with him, even though I didn't! I don't know what got into me! I couldn't even tell him "i don't want to do this." my mind wasn't in the right place i could receive myself to think... i'm 15, he's 16. "~what were you thinking hun no protection?~" ---- i keep telling you, i WASN'T thinking!!! =(

Open Question: I think I might have OCD?

I am completely paranoid about so many things, like demonic possession, even though logically I know it's absurd.. And also about being watched and stalked or something like that, and about answering the door and meeting new people.. And If I happen to be thinking about something bad, and I look at the time and it is like 6:33 or 1:23, or something that adds up to 6 or 9 or 3 or 13 or something like that.. I have really bad insomnia too, like I'll be up till like 3 when I go to bed at like 10.. And I'll just be worrying about things, or daydreaming.. I hate that I'm like this.. I'm also extremely shy and silent sometimes, and other times I'm super outgoing.. And I hate meeting new people usually, and I never know what to introduce myself as, because everyone pronounces my name completely differently. Also, when I'm in a car, I will count the cracks in the road, or imagine the car going over and below them.. And I try to cease but I always end up doing it.. And I always receive paranoid that bugs will receive every over me, (I've had multiple panic attacks about this, where I've actually had to take medicine) or that I will step on them or something.. (I'm vegan btw) And I'm always worried that I will accidentally eat something with animal products in it.. Do you think that I have OCD? Should I tell my therapist about it? :S

Open Question: I'm stuck in a bad job situation what should I do?

I quit my job in June because I was being harrassed by my boss. She constantly threatened to flame me calling me replaceable and she'd call me an idiot and make fun of me in front of clients calling me a charity case. i snapped emotionally and quit. that was in june. since then i couldnt find a job. i applied to 50 different places and worked odd jobs to skate by. Well I got offered a nanny position recently. I jumped for joy. It doesnt pay good but its a job I adore. I was supposed to make 200 a week to babysit two girls a 3 and 4 year old 40 hours per week. Well I started three weeks ago and have got maybe 30 hours in every together tops because shes "in training" at her new job and doesn't need me much. I made 100 the first week, 65 this week, and she anticipated maybe 40 next week. She promises I'll work full time the first week of December. Well I'm going to lose my car insurance because I'm not making what we agreed upon. I don't know how to handle it. Quitting would be stupid because I can't find anything else. But I'm afraid she's going to drag me along like this and then let me go. And she tells me I'll work til 6 but her husband rushes home at 4 so they wont have to pay me as much. And she asks family members to sit several times a week. I brought it up but she assures me it is temporary, but originally it was only supposed to be like that for a week. The worst part is my husband says its every my fault. He says I took a pathetic job like that I should embrace the consequences. I asked him not to criticize me I'm doing my best its difficult finding a job when I'm young and not throuhg college and he said, "if you wont take a job at mcdonalds dont complain about this one." unhappy thing is i did apply at mcdonalds but heard nothing back i even called. im only 19 i know the economy makes it difficult to find a job but im still putting in apps even though i have this one. my husband said im an idiot and a doormat. i havent been pushy to my employer because i dont want them finding somebody else. what i make right now is better than 0. help???

Open Question: If I get a new remote key-less system programmed for my car, will my existing (old) remote continue to work?

I recently bought a used car with remote key-less entry. The remote key works fine but the case is broken. I just wanted to receive the case replaced, but found that it is difficult to receive the case alone - rather I have to replace the whole remote and also program the new remote for my car. If I receive a new remote key-less system programmed for my car, will my existing (old) remote continue to work? I just don't want to end up having both of my remotes not working in this winter.

Open Question: My mum smashed my car windscreen and refuses to pay for it?

My mum has always broken things when she's mad and this time she took it out on my car. I tried to talk to her with my gran gift so it wouldn't be her shouting at me. I'm three months pregnant and I wanted to sort it out. But the moment she saw me she shouted at my gran and said she was a stupid, old, meddling b!tch. Which was uncalled for. She knocked over my gran's vase which was one I made her. After my gran calm down because she was very upset, I left to find my car windscreen smashed and a note left by my mum. She said she did smash it and wasn't going to pay for the damage as she pays for my university fees- which I do with a little help off my gran. She then blamed me for everything that has ever gone wrong even my brother's suicide a few months ago. I then had to shell out £400 to replace the screen and my bonnet. That was every my savings for the baby gone because she wrecked my car and I need my car. I just don't know what to do anymore. I'm not having an abortion and I have a job, I actually have two part time jobs. I started working as soon as I was 14 so I could keep up to move out the day I turned 18. my mum doesn't pay them,she said she does but she doesn't. I don't want her money because I won't know 100% were it came from.

Open Question: What if a car hits me when the pedestrian sign says "walk"?

I like to run around our town, and I make sure to use the pedestrian signal lights to cross streets to be safe. Well today when the light said "walk" I was beginning to run across on the crosswalk, and then i look a car arrive speeding up like it going to hit me, so I cease. But it stopped after it saw me cease in the middle of the crosswalk. Before that, there were several cars that did not even acknowledge that I could walk and kept on going. Don't pedestrians have the right of way? What if I were to receive hit by a car one day, when the signal clearly said I was supposed to walk? Would it be my fault I guess for not looking carefully enough? Or the drivers for not obeying the traffic signal for pedestrians?

Open Question: What should I do if my mom doesn't care anymore..?

So here's my story (sorry if its a big long): My mom and I have never really been that close. She actually doesn't know that much about me and we have never really had like a one on one conversation about anything I'm interested in or anything of that sort. My mom has always been close to my younger sister. My sister and I are 5 years apart. I'm a senior in high school and she's in 7th grade. So recently my mom picked up my report card and this is what I got: Anatomy&Physiology Honors: C A.P. Calculus: D Guitar: A Dance 2: A Office Aide: A A.P. Literature: F Studio Art Honors: B From looking at my report card this is what she said/asked: "Do you even care? Do you even want to go to college? Because if you don't, fine. I'm not going to argue and battle with you anymore, if you don't want to go to college fine, but at least finish high school." Then when we got into the car this is what she said: "I'm not comparing you to your sister, but I always look her doing her homework and not you. If your grades are going to be like that, then I think you should look for a job now so that if you do plan on going to college, you can at least say that its because of work. You know how bad that looks on me when you do bad? It makes me look like I failed in raising you." [Here's the thing... my sister is in 7th grade and her work is so much easier than mine. Yes, I know I got an F on my report card and an C and a D but that doesn't go on my transcript, its just temporary. My report card is based on combing 1st and 2nd quarter and averaging the two out, so then what ever my average is that is whats going to be put on my transcript...] I was just like what the f*** the whole entire time in my head. I was so hurt that when I got home I just broke down and cried, because that feeling that your possess mom just doesn't care anymore.. that feeling that she doesn't care about you... it just really hurt me. I also thought about moving in with my dad because when she said that it makes her look bad when I don't do well on my report card, I thought well maybe I'll just move in with my dad so you won't look like you failed and plus you got my sister who is always getting straight a's anyways. So I don't know guys... I need your help... because it seems like whatever I do, even if I do my very best and give it my every... i don't think it will ever be enough for her... nothing i seemed to do is enough for her... so HELP ME PLEASE!! :( I used to be close with my dad, but then it kinda drifted because he has his possess family now, but we do talk whenever I receive the chance to look him. I might school the requirements to graduate are: 4 yrs of english 3 yrs of math 3 yrs of science 3 yrs of social studies 2 yrs of gym 2 yrs of language 1 yr of music 1 yr of art 1 yr of health/driver's ed i've had: 4 yrs of english 4 yrs of math 4 yrs of science 4 yrs of gym 2 yrs of art as you can i look every of the ones up there i took an extra year(s) of.

Open Question: What was this cop planning to do when he followed me?

Last month, I was arrested because the cops did a random license-dish check, and the rental car I was driving came up as "stolen". Anyway, while I was sitting in the back of the cop car, he asked me why I pulled over, when he never asked me to tug over. I told him it was because of his actions. He didn't actually tug me over, but his actions made me think he wanted me to tug over. Here's what happened... I was driving home from the gym at night, and I noticed a cop car tailgating me. No sirens or anything. I thought nothing much of it. Then he gets in the next lane, speeds up, and pulls up right beside me, and the two cops look at me. Then he slowed up and got back behind me. I thought to myself that maybe he was just "checking me out". Sometimes cops just do this to random people. I know it happened to my dad. So I figured that was that. But then, he later flashes his spotlight at me. So I figured something was up. So I tug over to look what he wants. And that's when he yells at me to stick my hands out the window, then eventually receive out and lay on the ground, etc. And that's when about 5 other squad cars arrive out of nowhere as backup. To make a long story short, every the charges were eventually dropped and it didn't even go to court because they saw I didn't actually steal a car, I just failed to return the car to the rental agency on time. So what I want to know is, since he says he never actually told me to tug over -- then what was he planning to do? Any cops here might be able to say what the standard procedure is in this situation. Because he never told me to tug over, he just shined the spotlight once and tailgated me. Was he going to wait until backup arrived? Did he want to receive in some nice of a chase? Was he going to follow me every the way home? What procedures do cops do in this situation? Why didn't he just ask me to tug over? What happened if I just kept driving? been there done that: I did ask a question the other day concerning this issue, but it was a different question. It was a question regarding how the cops treated me. You know, roughing me up despite the fact that I cooperated and didn't resist, making smart-alec comments and cracking jokes, etc.

Open Question: Where can I find a Mitsubishi Lancer engine for cheap?

Our 2002 Mitsubishi Lancer broke down in the middle of the highway. We are still uncertain what happened, but the mechanic said that the best choice for us is to replace the engine. Engines can cost more than $3K, especially for Mitsubishi. Our original engine had 103,000 miles. Its only 6 years. If anyone can help us and tell us what the potenial problem may be, please do so. Its either fixing the car or getting the cheapest and newest possible car. That would be a Kia, and I don't want to ride in a KIA!!!! HELP! HELP!

Open Question: Why won't my car amplifier turn on?

I install a car amplifier last January and now it won't turn on. Not sure what could have changed. I bought a simple circuit tester to look if it was still getting power. And it is. I also tested the trigger connection from the stereo and that seems active as well. Thought it was a bad amp so got a new one. It won't turn on. Suggestions? Do I need a capacitor? If so why every of a sudden? Car still starts up normally.

Open Question: do you think Obama or our future presidents should take over the world?

What I mean by this is having the EU punish emerging countries for not reducing carbon emissions. If we clip our USA carbon footprint down to zero it would only clip the carbon footprint of the world by 4%. I think it is silly that people really think they can make a huge difference before they can at least receive the emerging countries to receive to our current standards. I travel to central and south america every the time as a spanish speaking tourist. every latin countries are the same in that they have a river for throwing sewage into that flows out to sea and they have buses, trucks and cars that spew out black smoke. I can only assume that their factories do the same. Read about tamarindo costa rica, known as one of the most beautiful towns in costa rica, the hotels were dumping raw sewage in a lagoon for decades until american tourist and expatriates brought the issue public. I also think that a lot of the global warming is BS and is going to be used to increase your taxes and our businesses taxes. Next time you're in a plane at 36000 feet realize it is minus 50 degrees and we are lucky we aren't fighting global cooling (which of course we will one day if we survive that long as a species). Just be careful because the far left may be passing so many epa laws that will not be matched by these emerging countries and we will suffer financially as a nation.

Open Question: do you think i overreacted?

last night i went out to dinner with my mom-in-law, husband and son. during dinner my son started throwing a tantrum and so i took him outside with me to calm him down. he kept screaming and pitching a fit so i went back inside and asked my husband for the keys so i could sit in the car with him. i am really self concious about my son acting up in public cause i dont think it is fair to other people to have to hear to. anyways, i expected my husband to arrive out and check to look if everything was okay but he didnt. i waited for like 20 minutes and he was just sitting in there eating with his mom like i didnt even exist. i lost it! when he finally came out i yelled at him and told him that it was nice that he got to finish eating when i didnt. he told me he didnt know i wanted his help. wtf!? it would have been nice for him to ask if everything was okay with us. it is his kid too why the hell do i always have to be the one to deal with our son when he throws a fit. anyways i didnt want to argue with him and embarrass myself in the parking lot so i drove off and left him there and drove around the loop to let off some steam. i returned like 10 minutes later and got him when i was calmed down. what i want to know is did i overreact? i apologized to my mom-in-law for taking off and thanked her for the meal cause she paid and gave her a hug. but do you think i shouldnt have driven off? also i was a little embarrased and still am. cause i dont want my mom-in-law to think sick of me.

Open Question: why is there a burning smell coming from where my shifter is?

I took my car in to receive repaired because it did not pass smog. When I got it back I started to steer it and now there is a burning odor coming from the area of the shifter. I am not losing any acceleration and otherwise the car seems to be doing great. I'm not riding the clutch or anything like that either. The part that needed to be replaced was the oxygen sensor. What could the problem be? the car is a 1990 Nissan Sentra manual I also noticed that when I was driving on the freeway I didn't odor it but when I came to an idol I could, or when I drove home from the store I could odor it once I got home and came to a cease.
