Should I sell my car to finish school?


I'm 27 years old. I have gotten my associates degree a few years ago. I want to get a bachelors in supply chain management. It will cost me roughly $20k to finish my degree at my local state university.

I have 2 cars. A 2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse with 209k miles on it and a Honda S2000 with 60k miles on it. The blue book for the s2000 is around 17k. Should I sell my car and try and go to school full time for the next two years and graduate with a few grand of debt? I do love my car and who knows how long my other car will last with 209k miles on it.

Right now I'm working and taking 2 or 3 classes at a time, so if I keep going at that pace it will take awhile

Motorcycle steering issue?


I recently bought a 95 Honda Nighthawk 250 and noticed that the front tire tends to want to turn in when I lean the bike. In the MSF course I rode a CB300f and during some free laps I bobbed the bike back and forth (left-right) while driving straight as if I was warming up the tires and the bike stayed nice and crisp. If I do this same thing on my bike the handlebars noticeably turn in either direction. This happens when I lean the bike to take regular turns as well and has me concerned with taking any curves at speed. The rear tire is certainly wore more in the center than the sides but not sure if this would cause the problem. I ve also noticed the fender over the front tire seems to be misaligned as if the previous owner possibly hit something at low speed and bent it in one direction. What should be my first course of action? (aside from cursing myself for buying a used bike with little to no mechanical knowledge)

Is a honda cbr500r a good first motorcycle?


Even though it is generally accepted in the motorcycle community that you should start with a 250 to 300cc ( or so) bike, a number of people and motorcycle reviewers( including motorcycles.com) recommended a Honda cbr500r as a viable option as a first bike. I am planning on taking classes before I get my license or buy anything. I am a pretty safe driver. I don't have any speeding tickets, and I have never been pulled over by the police. The low end and midrange power of the cbr500r are two things that interest me over a ninja 300( or simular bike).

Why are rich people so respected?


It seems like as soon as someone becomes rich or is making more than the average person, they have a whole lot of friends. Of course most of the friends are fake, but it still cracks me up. Just looking like you have money would make people kiss your behind. That is why I think that classism is the new racism. If you are a person driving a BMW or a Mercedes, you will automatically get treated better than someone driving a Honda… In most cases. Of course there are exceptions, but more than likely you be treated better, waited on first, etc. Why is society this way? Does anyone have any answers? The most ignored, dorky, corny people suddenly become noticed when they have something that everyone wants, which could be money, a nice car, nice clothes, etc. It is so weird. All of a sudden, you are respected. I find this stuff so fake. It's kind of like, "Eww, who is that guy/girl? They are so ugly, I would never hang out with them. Wait, they make six figures a year?! Wow, they are so cool! We could literally be bestfriends!" It's like when people find out that you are successful, their judgement of you change at a drop of a dime.

Is $1700 too much for a Honda 105k service?


I have a Honda Odyssey 06 with 107k miles on it. An auto shop is charging me $1100 for replacing timing belt, water pump, front engine seals, idler/tensioner bearings, and drive belts.
They also are charging another $560 for the 105k maintenance service which have something to do with the radiator/antifreeze, engine oil, trans vital fluid, brake vital fluid, and spark plugs/wires/T-up.

Is this price reasonable?

200 Honda Accord's SRS Light is On. Why?


The light came on last night. I had to have my battery replaced today. Did the low battery power trigger the light? I know it has something to do with the airbags, and is expensive to fix, if it is actually a real problem. I also heard it may be covered under the warranty, but… My car has a lot of miles on it. I don't think it will pass state inspection with this light on. I'm a little worried…

Need advice on my first car lease?


Ok so I'm kind of stuck im not sure how to get myself out of this one. My sister some time back passed me on her car it wasn't paid for so I continued to make the monthly payments with the car still being under her name. The car is only worth about 10k or 11k and total pay off is 17k. The car is horrible on repair cost which is the main reason why I wanna get rid of it. I wanna lease a new Honda Civic. I'm only 18 years old and according to experian with Fico my credit score is good. I make almost about 3k a month. But My credit history length is only about 7 months. Is this possible to lease a car on my own? I don't drive to much so I'm not really worried about the mileage on the lease. Has anyone ever experienced something like this?
