Buyers use Edmunds because it seems to run low. Sellers use KBB or NADA which seem to be pretty close to each other in valuations. Not sure why Edmunds tends to run so much lower than KBB and NADA. They claim "True Market Value" but then provide no easy to find links to explain what they mean...

Their statement is mostly true. But how does it lose your argument? What is your argument? This is of course too simplified, but there are two kinds of people in this world. Moral and immoral. Believing in God, heaven, and hell will keep a subset of the immoral from acting immorally. To...

That's not always true. If he happens to be as mature as he thinks he is, having a strong committed relationship, and willing to discuss issues on almost mature sites like ATOT instead of MySpace, using decent grammer and without reverting to el33t spe4k, he may not make any friends in college...

Generally speaking, you don't hear to often of people who hate dogs, wish them ill will, and talk of doing exceptionally mean things to them. However, you frequently hear about people who have this attitude towards cats. I think this is most common among men with ego issues who feel a need for...

Are you sure there is something wrong with the fan? Overheating at idle can sometimes be a sign of low coolant level, so check your coolant level too ( preferably when the engine is cool :P )

Last time I checked, Sprint wasn't offering anything less than $40 a month for I don't remember how many minutes. I only use about 50 minutes a month, and didn't like paying $40 a month for over ten times the minutes I was using, so I called to cancel service. During the call to cancel, they...

So I got my Sprint bill for the last month for my cell service. The bill is quite different from how it has been for years previously. It's over twice the size with more pages. What did they do with all that extra space? Nothing. Other than use a slightly larger font in a few places. In...

Streamlining and balancing the budget are fine goals to be worked on. But this sounds more like a call for massive cuts across the board. I say we go for it. Only then, after a couple of years, will people realize what a stupid $*&#! idea it was.

As I'm sure most people who like hanging out at computer hardware sites can attest to, you can easily go years without sex. However, a lot of people who go into the military are militant hormonal egomaniacs, which makes me worry. Hopefully the enlisted eggheads have enough training and mature...

Any person or organization that openly proclaims they are "fair and balanced" without a shadow of a doubt is most definitely NOT fair and balanced. I don't think they are lying about that, however. I think they probably really believe that they are fair and balanced. And that is why I don't...

Check to see if your modem is also a router. Some new modems double as a router, and have built in firewalls and other garbage. If it is, no need for a second router. If you didn't already know, you can tell by your IP address. If it is 192.168.xxx.xxx, then you have a router. You can also...

The easiest fix is putting a piece of black electrical tape over it, though I'd recommend removing the bulb. :-)

I got a single speeding ticket back in the early 90's that cost me $450. That alone would have covered the price of a top dollar radar detector. I lost respect for that area of law enforcement that day, as I was just speeding for a brief period on a straight empty road to try out some...

A person who agrees it is a bad idea to join the Marines in a time of war probably shouldn't join the Marines in a time of peace either.
