    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)?

    I just found out Best Buy charges a restocking fee on returns!

    I bought a Canon SD300 digital camera two weeks ago, thinking I could return it if necessary. I'm so use to returning stuff at Fry's that I did not even think to check if they charged a restocking fee. Imagine my surprise last night when I looked at the receipt and realized they charge a 15%...

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

    Anyone stay at the Primm Valley Casino Resorts before?

    I'm stopping in Vegas on my way to AZ (first time). I noticed these hotels are much cheaper because they're outside of Vegas (between $30 and $45). Are these nice hotels? Anyone stay at any of these?

    Getting ready for snowboard season...

    I'm thinking of purchasing from http://www.snowtraders.com - anyone have any experience w/ them? What's the best online store for snowboard gear? I'm thinking of getting these metal studs instead of a stomp pad. My only concern is that they may not stay "stuck" for long, given the small...

    Anyone hear of "Universal Technical Institute"?

    My brother has made (what seems to me) a spur of the moment decision to attend the "Universal Technical Institute" in Arizona (an automotive school), even though he's never even changed his own oil. He's never even been to their campus - he simply found them on the internet. Does anyone know...

    What's the best one available? I've heard AVG is good. Is there any better? Are these free programs as good as Nortons, McAfee, etc.?
