    Paying sales tax on a privately bought car

    I know Illinois depends on whether the car was purchased in or out of state. In state is a flat 6.5% of the purchase price. Out of state purchase has pretty good tax advantages as anything under 15k the tax is based on the year of the car which is usually no more than $300 after 15k it's...

    (What if) If you won the lottery thread

    Some states don't allow anonymous winners anymore for those that mentioned it above. I assume we are talking a powerball or mega millions winning, so here it goes. 1. Retain necessary lawyers and financial advisors Lets say the take home was 100 mil…I'd take 10 mil up front cash for me to do...

    Dealing with a relationship at a crossroads

    Thanks for all the responses guys. There is a lot of good advice here and some rather cruel answers but that was a little expected lol. No I not being forced to make a decision but as said above, I'd rather not drag it out and come to a conclusion to break it off 2+ yrs down the road. That...

    Dealing with a relationship at a crossroads

Prolly goes without saying my earlier comments in this thread are only a small part of our back story. I'm not going to bore you or anyone else with every detail of our relationship. That...

    Dealing with a relationship at a crossroads

    Haha ya most of these comments were about what I would expect. I think there is 7 or 8 people just saying drop everything and run. Another few that are simpathetic to the situation and 1 or 2 in a similar situatiom. Figured that was coming but its all good advice and offers perspective...

    Dealing with a relationship at a crossroads

    Alright I've been dating a girl for 4 1/2 years and she is currently living with me. We had one break up a couple years ago where I broke it off because I felt like things were stuck in a bad place…she wanted to get married and I wasn't ready. We started arguing all the time and just felt like...

    Anyone Seen Logan Yet?

    I saw it on Saturday. It was by far the best of the x-men movies and not your typical "superhero" movie to me. IMO they let Hue Jackman go out in style with his last go round of Wolverine and it shows big time. Definitely recommended the movie. I will say its going to be hard to replace...

    Job decision dilemma

    I agree with other replies…to leave a position it should be an absolute minimum of a 5% bump and it should be more in the 10% range to move companies. Unless there is better retirement or bonus options with the company you interviewed with they are basically breaking even considering you would...

    Painting home interior

    I did my whole house when I moved in like you. With the floors out I assume the base will be off as well. You will save a bunch of prep time not having to tape off the base or cover floors. You will just have to tape off your door and window trim and cover the doors and windows themselves...

    How far would you drive to save $$$$$?

    I flew to Birmingham AL from Chicago to buy my Shelby. Maybe saved a couple grand but more importantly I got the exact car I was looking for. Ended up doubling the mileage on the car just driving it home lol.

    Dyno hook-up - where to pick up RPM signal

    Long story short I'm going to get my car dynoed tomorrow and wanted to know where is the best place to pick up the RPM signal on the Shelby. The guy running the dyno typically works with plug on wire cars not COP's so I just want to be certain we are picking it up off a good spot and not...

    Popping sound coming from under car…possible clutch?

    I'm getting this audible "popping" sound coming from under my car. Its not a clunk but rather sounds like the "pop" an empty soda can makes when the side of it is pressed in then pops back out. Its a very distinct noise and pretty damn loud/annoying. I'm pretty sure any by stander could hear...

    Bad downshift experience - Royal F-up on my part

    I took my car out last night for a quick drive to give some friends a ride. I'm on a back road and lay into it and going from 3rd to 4th I royally screwed up and hit 2nd. First time in my life I have ever done that. I instantly see my tack peg at 7k I had just let the clutch out and quickly...
