I’ve recently (within the last few months) gotten very interested and intrigued by classic cars. I’ve never paid much attention before, but I’m really liking them.I thought about learning how to fix/build cars. I even looked to see if my local community college offered a class on auto repair, but they don’t. Any idea on how I can emerge myself more in this new “hobby” I enjoy?

Fiance speaking with ex boyfriend behind my back?
A couple of weeks ago, I found on my phone bill that my fiance had a conversation behind my back with her ex boyfriend for 45 minutes while she was at the Dr. and I was home with her daughter, my soon to be step daughter who is 11. She was also texting him before that and deleted all the texts. She knows I have a problem with her speaking with this ex. She became quite defensive and angry over being confronted. We agreed she would not speak to him again, and she sent him a text saying they can not speak anymore. He answered with OK, no problem which seemed odd to me considering he is obsessed with her and has tried to contact her before. I believe she forewarned him that I knew since I texted her at work saying I knew, before we spoke when she came home and sent the text to him. Well, a few days later I checked again and it appears she has not been speaking with him (though she may be doing so at work) but I came across a conversation they had a month before the last one that was 2 and a half hours long! There were also several little conversations lasting only a few minutes. The final one I found and the most hurtful was her speaking with him for 25 minutes on her way to work in the morning on our anniversary. I can just picture getting her ready for work, kissing her goodbye, then her getting in the car and calling him and not only that, but ending up 10 minutes late to work just to finish speaking with him. I feel really hurt and betrayed, especially since she first claimed it was an isolated incident the first time. I found 1 email from him in her yahoo account, which I forwarded to myself. I then signed back in to her account check and see if she deleted it, and of course she did, but I still have that copy. There have been several calls that came on her phone as restricted. What do you all think? Does it seem like she is still in contact with him? I told her all was well and good, but I can’t seem to get over it. I think about it every day and it’s really messing my head up. If I confront her again it seems redundant since I confronted her a second time when I found the older, lengthy phone calls. Anyone have any advice on what to do?

One thing I should mention is, an ex of mine friended me on facebook, and I told her about it immediately. Well, she flipped out and gave me holy hell on and off for a month about it, and that was after I was upfront and honest. When my ex contacted me, there was not even a conversation and I told her right away.

Also, I almost forgot to mention this. The other day she came home with a box of Godiva chocolate. She told me that a client at work (female) had given it to her. Now, normally, I would have just thought Oh, that was nice of her! but I’m having such a hard time trusting her now and I really want to, but I can’t help but think that maybe this ex showed up at work and dropped it off and they saw each other or something. They have a very on and off history where they keep breaking up and getting back together. It’s killing me that I don’t trust her the way I used to. Am I over reacting? I just don’t know how to get past this. I found out November 9th and am still not much better psychologically than I was when I first found out.

Is the chocolate thing weird? I’m wondering if he dropped it off as a gift to her job. She says her client gave it to her as a thanksgiving present. What do you all think?
Thanks everyone for the answers so far. I have to make 2 things clear though that I might not have before.

1- This ex is not her child’s father, he is just an ex.

2- I never went and told my sob story to my ex girlfriend, You misunderstood me. Back over the summer, one of my ex’s contacted me on facebook and as soon as she did, I told my fiance, I never even spoke with my ex. Sorry if I did not convey properly what I was trying to say.

And I am currently living in Portland Oregon. I scored a 29 composite on the ACT’s, I do not remember my SAT score, but it was close to 2000. I maintained a 3.18gpa throughout high school. I took 4 trimesters of foreign language, and the last math class I ended up taking was advanced discrete mathematics. I have no extracurriculars through school - I spent most of my time playing music and learning instruments (piano, guitar, bass, harmonica, mandolin and clarinet). I also spent quite a bit of my time working with classic cars and restoring them. As far as activities related to the field… I spent months learning about electrical components on my own, and started making my own guitar pedals. Etching my own PCB’s, soldering them together… That progressed into buying vintage pedals that were broken and selling them at profit, which eventually progressed into buying broken amplifiers and fixing them for a profit. I also know quite a bit about computers, DOS, Basic and Cocoa…

What are some decent colleges that offer excellent electrical engineering programs that I could get into? I may end up going for a double major of computer sciences and electrical engineering. As of now, I am looking at Oregon State, Calpoly, and Washington State…
To be honest, I just sort of drifted along in High School hence my GPA.

I also skipped two grades, but went back down a year later because I did not want to go on without my friends from prior years… I am perfectly capable of doing whatever is thrown at me. Like I said, I managed to squeeze Advanced Calculus and Advanced Discrete Math, two trimesters of each in one year of school with no difficulty.

im 17 do i have to live with him to be insured as a secondary driver for his car

also can it be a classic car with classic car insurance

I have a 93 Chevy Caprice classic, and when I go to turn back the ignition (where it doesn’t run on the battery and you can listen to the radio) it doesn’t turn back. It’s like its stuck. Is there anything I can do to get it to turn back, or is my car unable to do that?

Voting Question: Help connecting Ipod to car!?

Before anything, I’m just gonna say that I do not know much about this technical stuff. I have an Ipod Classic 160gb and I want to be able to listen to all my songs in the car. I looked at the dashboard, but I have no idea what I’m looking for! There are these 2 plugs that say “Power output” but I don’t know if that’s what I need to use. I think they are those cigarette lighter things, but I don’t know. There are also some red, white, and yellow plugs in the back of the car. What is the hole supposed to look like??? What do I use to plug the Ipod into the car?!?! I know I’m probably not explaining this very well at all, but can you please tell me everything I need to do to hook up my Ipod to the car? Oh, and I don’t want an FM transmitter because everyone says those suck! Please try to keep it simple- like I said I’m reeeeally bad with this technical stuff!!! Best answer to most help!!! D:

I am going to look at a 1969 mach 1 mustang 428 r code tomorrow. It has a lot of options but one of the things that stuck out on the marti report is that it was ordered out of the export ordering district. It says there was only 59 of them ordered out of there. So does this add any extra value to the car? whats your opinions?

Hi can anybody help me? I’m looking for the code for my Becker Mexico 2330 car stereo. its serial number is BE2330R1018451 12 volt Car stereo. It was bought as a replacement for my classic Mercedes and came with no code.

Any help would be appreciated.

I was recently at an exotic/classic car show. I finally got to see an F40 in real life and it was amazing to say the least. I even got to ride in it for about 30 minutes!! But I noticed whenever the owner revved his engine or accelerated the exhaust made a popping noise. I thought maybe it was just his, but I watched more videos after the show on youtube and they all seem to do that. Is that unburnt fuel igniting in the exhaust or what? Or is just because exhaust systems in the 80’s weren’t as refined as the are now? Btw don’t get me wrong I rather like the sound, I’m just wondering why it happens!

Shelby announces specs on GT350 Mustang

After waiting patiently for the specs on the 2011 Shelby GT350 we’re certainly not dissapointed with the claimed 430 hp on the base GT350 up to 525hp on a Whipple-charged version. If those numbers just aren’t big enough you can always spring for the R tune version which bumps it up another 100 horses. As [...]
