I’d like to restore a classic car, but I don’t know much about the availability of such cars or their parts.

For instance, I’m sure there are some classic cars that have parts that are more available than others (maybe the 57 Chevy). I know I’d be hard-up to find parts for a 1937 Bugatti Type 57.

I’m just looking to get my feet wet. Any advice is helpful. Thx.

Please Help!

It’s a woman that sings it, the chorus goes something like this “baby baby baby wherever did i go wrong”. It has a pretty quick rhythm. I’d say the song is from the 60’s or 70’s. Sounds like Aretha Franklin but heard some of her songs but haven’t had luck finding it. Please help me, wont be able to sleep unless I know it. Oh and I heard it at a car show with classic and antique cars, so yeah, maybe that could help.

Thanks

I just bought a 1994 Chevy Caprice Classic that has 106k miles on it and exterior and enterior is in good shape. I paid $1900 including tax and title. All my people out there who know about this car, DID I GET A GOOD DEAL ON IT?? also i want to put rims on it, and want to know how many bolt rims do i need to get, you can tell i haven’t gotten the car just yet.
Please help.
Also I need to get the grill that has the chevy logo on it, where do i get that from. and replace the logo on the hood that the caprice comes with.

I have a 77 Nova with low miles, pretty nice looking, orange with viny top and black stripes. I recently put it on craigslist because i just lost interest in it.. i dont really know. but anyways i was thinking about getting an early 2000 mustang v6 or another classic car or something. what would you guys recommend?

I’m a big fan of old cars from the ’60s and ’70s. However, they all seem to have manual transmission. Both my parents know how to drive stick, but when I learned to drive, we didn’t and still don’t have a car with manual transmission. Therefore, all I know how to operate is a car with an automatic transmission. Are there any classic cars that have an automatic transmission?

Ahh 2011 you just couldn’t finish out the year without another recall could you? Hopefully this is the last one of the year! It would appear that a certain number of the new Chevy Sonic models have a tiny issue. Approximately 20-30 of the almost five thousand 2012 Chevy Sonics sold are missing a front [...]

I’ve always wanted to purchase a classic car (around 1970) and have the interior and body of the car fixed up. Then I’d replace the parts with that of a modern car to increase gas mileage and such.

Is this possible, and around how much would it cost to have someone do this properly for me?

And is there a term used to describe this process?

Here’s my background. I’m just looking for some unbiased advice b/c I have to make an important decision. My husband and I have been married for almost 12 years and together for 16 years. We had what I thought was a great marriage and life. We were best friends, we got along and didn’t argue much, we have the same values and were in love with each other and always treated each other with respect. We had date nights, laughed and joked together, had great sex - very open (so I thought) and loved spending time with our children. We have two girls 5 and 8 who we love dearly.

Here’s some background. Over the span of our marriage my husband has changed career many times and failed at more than once. I never once criticized him - in fact the opposite and always supported him and he’s always thanked me for it. I thought so highly of him - like all our friends did. We moved three times since our children were born. He left a great job b/c he wanted to start a business which I helped run while raising our girls. It failed and he’s now been with another company for 3 years. We wanted to move back to Atlanta area so we did but he had to stay with his job until he got transferred up here. He’s been working long distance (gone during the week and home some weekends-this should have been the red flag but I trusted him too much). I actually felt bad for him. Anyway, he’s been somewhat distant with me, working out extra hard for the past year to get in shape, all the classic signs. I approached him nicely about it earlier this year. We have an open line of communication (or so I thought). I even said if something was going on and he told me we could try to work through it. It has been hard being separated. I take of our girls, clean the house do all the yard work to try to save him from doing stuff on the weekends.

Here’s what happened. Christmas Eve 2011 we went to get him a new car. Not just any car but Red Sports Car. I felt he’s worked so hard and earned it (I drive a 6 year old minivan - not even a nice one but it’s paid off). On our way out of the purchase we took one last look at the old car to make sure nothing was left. I found two tickets to the Atlanta Symphony from April 2011. I couldn’t believe it. He tried to say it was when we went - which we haven’t been to in 15 years. One time only. My heart sank and I thought I would die right there. He admitted to having an affair - I mean I caught him red-handed so there wasn’t much he could deny. He said it was over months ago - another lie. Turns out he works with this woman and the affair has been going on for over a 1-1/2 years. It started right when the girls and I moved up here. He admitted to having sex with her 2-3 times a week - that would make it over 300 times since they started their affair. While this was going on I was basically a single mom during he week and some weekend he didn’t come home b/c he lied and said he had to work. He continued to have sex with me and if we had any issues he made it seem like it was just in my head. I knew something was up b/c he seemed less interested in me and our family. I’m 5′2 and weigh 95lbs. I’m not conceited but I’m a very attractive person and have not let myself go over the years.

He works with this woman and basically lived with her at her home while paying rent at another place. I felt bad that he was in the small room b/c I didn’t know what really was going on. The fact that he works with her means he not only risked losing his marriage but also his job and our livelihood. He always said it may be a little longer for me to get there b/c of economy but he lied and never tried. Not until this past summer when he immediately got frustrated b/c they were not transferring him. Turns out she was transferred to the Atlanta office and that’s why he wanted to finally move. He never had any plans of ending it. He last “saw” her the week before Thanksgiving. He was probably planning on seeing her yesterday. He of course left on Christmas Day.

He’s missed countless event with me and the girls and our family. He said he had to work numerous times but was lying to stay with her. He drove her up to Atlanta, took her to dinner and Symphony and spent the night in a hotel suite. This was two weeks before our anniversary.

He now his begging my forgiveness and says he will do anything to make it up to me.

I don’t know what to do. He obviously has strong feelings for this woman. She’s actually older than me (childless-which may be another reason he likes her). She’s taller than me and sounds pretty good looking. I’m concerned that he’s in love with her and I don’t want to be anyone’s second choice.

Last thing, he’s also admitted to having internet sex - all starting about the time we had our first child.

What should I do?

I have been an avid marijuana smoker for most of my later teens, a daily smoker through my 20’s and toned it down (probably half) through age 35. I first started for the ‘cool’ factor when i was 16. In my 20’s it was just a staple to help me with life long anxiety and depression. It always worked like a charm every time. I never lost a job for it or had any legal troubles. Nobody gave me ‘heat’ over it because they saw how much better I was with just a toke here and there. I was never a mass user, staying ripped all day long. I just toked up a bit after work to relax after work. I was never much of a drinker. As I got older I was able to piece many of the benefits it gave to me.
First and foremost the greatest plus is that I do not remember my dreams in the morning. Since I was a kid I would have bad, crazy or chaotic etc… dreams throughout the week and weekends. I could rarely piece together any reason for the dreams. In the morning I would struggle to get up as my quality of sleep was very poor and in 8 hrs of sleep I felt I had 2-3 hrs. The dreams/dreaming would increase my anxiety throughout the day and the lack of sleep would create concentration issues at school. My parents told me, ” It will go away when you get older.” Lies.
Second, I (w/o marijuana) have continual racing thoughts. With just a toke or two I am actually able to have better concentration (math being the exception) on tasks at hand. I am much less likely to get distracted. Now of coarse if I use more than whats needed it will backfire and I have classic symptoms, huh, what, yeah.
Third, I never had much of any hobbies or likes growing up until I started toking on a number here and there. Since then I have attended automotive school, culinary and (until I had to stop smoking) was also taking classes towards my current major; music theory and education.
I have had to stop because I have been the unfortunate recipient of two car crashes (that were not my fault and I was not ‘high’) and have landed myself in pain management. I have had 2 surgeries and have put off going to PM for several years because I knew they would drug test me.
I just cant take the negative effects of not smoking marijuana anymore, especially the dreaming. It drives me nuts. They gave me ambien which helps me get to sleep (which really was not a problem) but it’s my quality of sleep throughout the night the sucks. I have quit playing guitar, piano and drums and have no drive to even try to play them. I am on pain medication which helps some. I do not believe it is the pain medication causing these problems because I had to stop smoking from the summer of ‘04-’05 for a job and had the same problems then, just as when I was a kid.
Ive asked about a sleep study and they tell me that dreaming is a natural part of life. I don’t care. It’s not any part of life that I want. I didn’t have these problems several months ago and I want them gone, NOW! I know what to do, but that will get me kicked from pain management and I need their help. I put off getting pain meds for a long time and now that I have them I’m between a rock and a hard place. The pain is too great to be without them; I’ll lose my job. Now that I hav’nt had decent night of sleep in months Im stating to look like a truck ran me over.
I try to control the dream, I try to get up and shake it off, I try to sleep differently, I dont eat weird food late at night, I dont drink (I wont say never) at night, Ive read other’s blogs and books and yahoo answers questions and I only see one answer. But again I can’t jeopardize losing my pain meds. AAAAHHHHHHH!!
Any useful help would be appreciated. Please no dumb answers to refer me to rehab or church or to ‘off’ myself. Thanks

If there is any chance of maybe anyone of these being true, it would be #4 and #8. All of the others are not true at all, and are actually the complete opposite (for me).
I would go through less than, to .5oz per month of “B” (normal stuff, not Snoop Dogg quality) grade. That’s cheaper than going to any doctor lol
Unfortunately my state does not offer medial marijuana (yet).

What would be the cheapest way to get a muscle car? And when I say muscle car it doesn’t have to be super fast just an old classic looking body style for a car. Also what would be the cheapest car with still a nice looking body style. I like old corvettes and mustangs.
