    Do you tip the rental car drop-off driver?

    Just got back from returning a rental car, and had to use their "drop-off" service to get back to work. Just wondering - should I have tipped the driver? Figured I didn't need to, since I payed over $60 a day for the car - but anyone know what the proper etiquette is?

    Are you taxed when you buy a used car from an individual?

    I live in California and am in the market for a used car - debating whether to buy from a dealer or a private party. If I buy from a private party, do I have to pay tax? If so, when (i.e. does the DMV collect it on registration)?

    free photo-sharing site that allows hi-res photos?

    I've checked out several free photo-sharing sites, such as shutterfly and yahoo, but they all reduce your photos to lower-resolution, and don't allow retrieval of the original hi-res upload. Is there any site that allows this?

    just got a pair of Maui Jims for Christmas!

    Thanks for the great info, everyone. I guess I'll stop by the local sunglass hut after work and try on the different brands. Chances are, I'll end up keeping these MJ's though. As someone pointed out, they are SUPER light and SUPER comfortable - by far the nices pair I've ever had.

    just got a pair of Maui Jims for Christmas!
