For the most part I'm good with car and animal related questions, but I'll answer other stuff if its something I feel I know enough about. Ask me anything, and I'll give it my best shot.
Just dont ask me anything about the chances of you being pregnant.
Or if s/he likes you or not.
Or if you're fat. (I'll say yes no matter what)
advice
well i have been going wit dis boi for 6 weeks and i love and i wanna have sex wit him so bad what should i do help me pleze
You should grow up, learn to type, then come back and ask that question in an intelligent manner.
But if you insist, you should talk to him and see how he feels. Consider both of your ages and maturity levels, are you REALLY ready for sex, and things that could come with it (read: babies, std's. etc...)?
I have a 1991 300E Benz. It drove PERFECTLY until I put synthetic oil in bcuz my oil lite came on. After I put the oil in it overheated I put n 1qt. Instead of 3 like I was proly supose to. After it overheated I let it cool down then at nite I added 3qts. I drove home nd when I got close to home it overheated again. Nd it made a knocking noise when I tried to start it. Now its been sittin since the 27th. It also started to leak which its NEVER did b4. Las time it needed oil I took it to jiffy lube, this time I jus didn't have the money. I have no clue wat to do to fix it, hopefully it won't require any expensive repairs. Any feedback wud be great. Thanks
Disregard what the person before me said, its irrelevant besides stupid. And sorry if im getting to you too late.
Putting less than the required amount of oil in was your first mistake, when engines don't have proper lubrication, things go very wrong very quick. Make sure to maintain a proper level, which you can check with the dipstick. Keep it in between the two lines. And I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that the 300 takes a lot more than three or four quarts. My 2.2L takes five quarts, so you'll probably need much more. Check the manual if you have one.
Next: did you change the oil filter as well? that should be done every change.
Make sure that you tighten the draining nut snugly when you are done draining the old crap, that's the easiest explanation for your oil leak.
More than likely something is wrong in your engine, something that needs to be fixed by a shop. When your engine overheated it very well could have warped the head, or fucked up a piston. A warped head would explain it, but Im not making any guarantees.
Go to a shop and at least have them look at it, and give you a quote on what it would cost to do the repairs.
Moral of the story? Kids, if you don't know what your doing, don't do it, or get help. When something is wrong, stop, figure out whats wrong before it gets worse. One small mistake could cost you.
Anyway, good luck.
I'm turning 16 soon and saving up for a car. I'm looking for a small, sleek, really cool kind of sport looking car...but not something that costs an arm and a leg. What are some sporty looking cars that arents extremely expensive? thanks!
Please, a Jetta isn't sporty in the least.
Im going to assume that you or your parents happen to be well of financially, and your not like many of us out there who's first cars are beat up junkers. Im assuming that your looking for a fairly nice car, just not a quite a BMW.
If I were you I would check the Mazda 3 & the Mazda 6, Depending on your style perhaps the Honda Civic (I like it). You might also like the Toyota Carolla (though its not all that sporty, especially before 08').
All of the cars I above are quality cars, especially Honda and Toyota, which are hands down the most reliable.

does a mercedes clk 320 count as an import tuner ?
No.
Hi there,
I have a problem wherein there is a steel bolt crewed into an aluminum manifold, and both items are oxidized, meaning that the steel has rusted and the aluminum has corroded.
I have tried force, tapping the bolt with a hammer, liquid wrench, various bolt loosening products, all with no success.
Does anyone have a super-secret method of getting things like unstuck?
Thank you for your help.
Chevynova is spot on from my experience. Soak it in the nastiest chemicallyest shit you can overnight, heat the aluminum around the bolt carefully (not too hot!!) and tap the bolt as you turn. What i do is put the socket in a big vice grip, that way I can tap and turn at the same time, works great!
Good luck!
Hey everyone, I'm back for more answers from you awesome knowledgeable folks. =D
So, the kitty I got Sunday has been incredibly sweet, greets me in the morning rubbing up against my legs and purring, is eating now, thank goodness, and using her litterbox faithfully, though I don't think the litter brand I have is that good (any suggestions are welcome). She would be the perfect kitten, except for the fact that I feel like she's getting kind of violent.
I don't know if she's teething, or if she needs her teeth brushed because her gums are itchy or what (I got her a toothbrush, she was fine with the paste, but won't open her mouth), but she seems to try to bite everything now. When I first got her, she gave kitty kisses and like, licked your fingers, maybe put them in her mouth for a second but never bit down.
She hasn't actually bitten me yet, but I don't want her to think that's okay.
My friend says her family's kittens "chewed on [them] too," and that they outgrew it, so maybe mine will too. I dunno, I just don't want her to think that's okay, y'know? When animals snap at me I get kinda scared, even if they're as little as my Luna.
She also squirms and fights when I try to hold her. She's fine being picked up, but if you hold her she squirms and pushes against you. I think she tried to bite me one time, but she missed. My other friend's cat was like that, but she never tried to bite. She just struggled really hard to get away.
How do you train a cat who won't eat treats? (Maybe the treats are too big for her? She's 11 weeks old)
Any thoughts? I'm so new at this, and really glad I have you guys to ask. Lol
-Siren =)
I agree with misssjulia completely in that this is normal kitty behavior. If your kitten wasnt doing this, frankly i would be concerned.
It is to be expected for a kitten to play bite, but you can let it be known that you do not want it to bite by simply stopping playing with her when she gets mouthy. She'll learn that too much teeth means no playing.
And this part of the answer is to you and anyone else who may read this (regarding the first poster) DO NOT DECLAW YOUR CAT. It is an extremely barbaric procedure, the human equivalent would be cutting of the first knuckle of your fingers. It is painful, infection prone, and can lead to behavioral issues because of the cat not having claws to defend itself.
Good luck to you and luna! :]
I'm really interested in getting a dwarf rabbit. I bought a book about the care and keeping of pet rabbits, and it said that it was ideal to keep the door to the cage open eventually, so that the rabbit was free to come and go and wander about the house as it pleased. My question is, is this really necessary? My mom isn't a fan of pets wandering about the house, and I haven't totally convinced her that a rabbit is a good idea. Of course I would let my bunny out to be with me when I was around the house, but would it be a problem if I kept him/her in the cage with the door shut at other times?
Not at all. Its perfectly fine to have a rabbit kept in a cage for a large portion of the day, juts as long as they have enough socialization and exercise out of the cage per day.
You could also restrict it to your room only (as opposed to the whole house) , once it is able to be trusted to use the litter box, and known to not chew your furniture
my computer is like bigger then normal. like the icons are bigger then wat they should be.

how much was everyones first car?
im going to be getting my liscense soon.
just curious on average how much i am looking to spend on a car?
also, any cute cars that are not wayy expensive.
im looking to get a used car, obviously.
something small, sporty.
& im 15/f
thanks :]
How much you spend on your first car depends upon a lot of factors. You could buy a beater for under a thousand, a decent used car for 3-4 thousand, or a fairly nice one for 6 thousand and up.
Some things you need to consider are:
Make-do you want an American company, Japanese, German, ect? Now I am admittedly biased towards Japanese brands (Honda, Toyota), but there are some very nice cars made by other companied. Used american brand cars (Ford, Chevy, Dodge) will be less expensive, but in my mind you get what you pay for. Junk.
A Honda or Toyota will sell for more than an american car because they hold value better, meaning that they make a better quality automobile, and thus it costs more.
I often see used 94-97 Honda Accords, Civics, and Toyota Corolla's for 3 to 4 thousand.
Style: Coupe? Sedan?
Luxuries: Do you want a sunroof? Moonroof? How about power windows, locks, etc...
And really most importantly, cost. How much money DO you have. That will be the biggest deciding factor on what you get.
That being said, there are many options of cars, styles, and price ranges, and much more that goes into the cost of a car.
I would be more than happy to go into greater detail, or to give some more advice if you would like.
P.S. my first car was free, It was a hand me down from my mom. My second car was $250 because the persons mechanic misdiagnosed it severely, leading them to think it needed extensive engine repairs, leading them to sell it really cheap. I happened to see that it only needed minor work, and was happy to buy it for such a good price, and to spend the little I had to to get it running Cherry.
I fell in love with the scion tC back in november and im finally going with my dad next week to purchase a new 2008 for my 18th birthday. although i don't really know anyone who has one, so i was just wondering if anyone on here has one or knows someone and could let me know if its a good choice or not.
Its not half bad, from what I can tell. It seems like it comes with a fairly inclusive list of standard features, and is fairly customizable. I took quick look at some reviews and it rated pretty well. If you really like it, then its certainly not the worst choice you can make.
A better choice however would be a Honda Civic, or a Honda Accord. Given your liking of the Scion style, I would suggest the coupe for both.
Honda makes a fantastic product, and the latest Accord is even more so. Great features, ride, handling, ingenuity..you get th point. Besides, they have a strong reputaion for quality and reliability (my Accord has going on two hundred thousand miles and is still running strong, and my old accord had 240,000 miles on it, and still ran well even after me beating the crap out of it for a couple of years).
So, if you want to get the tc, I would suggest that over say a Ford Focus. Its not a bad car. BUT, I am really trying to push you in the direction of an Accord or a Civic for many reasons.
Feel free to ask me some questions, I would love to lend some more advice.
Oh, here are some links for your consideration.

ok so my puppy who gets into everything... atleast it seems he does just started bleeding from his butt when he has a bowel move ment he has diarreah with blood in it what should i do and any ideas of what this mught be? HELP ME!!!
The previous poster is wrong, very wrong. Dogs do not get periods like humans do (besides the fact that your dog is a he).
This could be something like digestion issues (could be having a bad reaction to something he ate) or it could be a very serious blockade or intestinal issue.
No one here will be able to help you much, even if they properly diagnose it. The bottom line is that you need to call your vet soon. Very soon, as this may be a serious problem that needs to be taken care of immediately.
So i just deleted realplayer off my computer.. it has windows vista on it... but my computer wont let me delete the shortcut on my desktop.... how do i delete it off there?
Go Start menu> control panel> Programs and features> click on real player> click "uninstall".
Follow the steps when the uninstall box appears. That should do the trick.
my cat had a heart murmur (irregular heart beat) and the vet said he wouldn't make it through the night but he did. Now he is urinating everywhere. Sometimes its just a little, the next time he is completley soaked in it. What might be wrong with him? Don't tell me too take him to the vet again. I am at the end of the week. I just want more info on what it might be.
There really is no way for someone on this site to diagnose your cat based upon what information you have given or really even at all. I know you don't want to hear this, but you should go to your vet. At least call them and ask a few question. Calling is free advice- its a win win situation.
That being said, your cat could have suffered from bladder damage due to heart problems. Sometimes when one system gets messed up, others do too.
Again, I don't know what the matter is, and no one on this site will be able to diagnose the problem accurately. Even if they say they know for sure, don't believe them. Believe your Vet.

my dog got cancer 2 years ago. my dad put tons of money and time into getting her tumors removed every few months. but they kept growing back faster and faster and now they are in her lungs. she has trouble breathing and i feel horrible for her. she is 11 btw and an american bull dog. is there anything i can do for her? she is probably going to die soon. i just want to know if there is anything i can do to help her live longer. and im not sure if she is in pain or not? she flinches when i touch her stomach but other than that she seems normal and fine. she is an extremely strong dog. she has gone through so many operations and she bounces back the same day. is there any way to remove tumors from someones lungs? or does the doctor just not want to do it? i really want her to live. i love her very much.
Unfortunately it is near impossible to surgically remove cancerous growths from the lungs without a large chance of death. Your vet most likely doesnt want to risk it.
You could inquire about radiation treatment (like in humans) but that is very expensive and time consuming. Perhaps the best thing you can do now is to make your dogs remaining life as enjoyable as possible, and remember the good times you've had together.
As to the question on weather or not she is in pain, she most likely is. You could ask the vet for pain medication (most likely Rimadyl, or metacam.)
Good luck to both of you.
My birthday is on Easter So my boyfriend bought me a rabbit, "Derby". He's a 10 week old Rex/English Angora male. which i've had for three days now. I keep Derby in my room, and he chews the metal bars on his cage around 1 in the morning. It's so loud so I let him out of the cage to roam around my room at night. I want to keep him in my room and to stay in his cage at night. How do I get him to stop chewing on the bars? I bought him apple branch sticks at the pet store so he could chew on those but he doesn't like them.
I bought him a little house that looks like an igloo but he doesn't like to go in it. Do you think he might eventually go in it if I leave it in there?
Also, Since he's a male and hes only 10 weeks old, should I get him neutered? If so, at what age and how much would it cost? I live in Florida if that helps.
Thanks!
Yes, you should get him neutered. From http://www.dennabun.com/Beaker/spayneut.html:
"Like spaying, neutering has several advantages. Neutered male bunnies are more docile and gentle and tend to be far less aggressive. They also tend not to mark territory by spraying and are more willing to cohabitate with another bunny. And, of course, neutered rabbits cannot impregnate does and so will not contribute to the overpopulation problem.
When it comes to the surgery itself, male bunnies sometimes have it a bit easier than the girls. Neuters are fairly simple, straightforward procedures requiring minimal recovery time."
In time he may become accustomed to the igloo, maybe not, you never know.
Some other sites to check out on proper rabbit care are:http://secourslapins.org/care_eng.html , http://www.rabbit.org/ , and http://www.myhouserabbit.com/
Have fun!
How do you develop a better relationship with your cat?
I try to feed him and play with him but he never seems to want anything to do with me! He snuggles up with my boyfriend instead of me and never wants to sleep with us in the bedroom. He's always been a very independent cat but sometimes I wish he would be a little more affection-friendly. He won't even let me pick him up!!
Generally speaking you cannot get a cat to like you more if it doesn't like you to begin with. Cats are funny like that.
okay i have 2 gauge earring in right now if i put a 18 earring in will it hurt alot or barley?
or its not even a differnce beacause im not sure at all!
answer please!
I think you mean that you have an 18 and you want to put in a 2?
There is a BIG difference. A standard piercing size is an 18 gauge. Generic hoops and studs are 18's, while a 2 gauge is frickin gigantic: http://www.sthbodyjewelry.com/catalog/images/orange.jpg
Going from an 18 directly to a two would HURT. If you want to enlarge the hole, do is slowly over many months, going one gauge lower each time. I'm no expert, so if you do plan to go down drastically in gauge size do some research on how to do it properly.
I have a project on Akitas(since i use to have one along time ago.) And I have questions. What shouldn't I do to an Akita to make it mad or agrresive towards me. And what should i do to an akita to make it LOVE me? How much does it cost a year to take care of an akita(that counts like food, toys, etc.) One more. Im 13 now and i used to have this dog when i was around 7 or so. It is still alive but will it remember me??
Did you even try to find some information on your own? I used google to get this page http://www.google.com/search?q=akita&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a(with links to probably all the info you will need), which means you can too.
Seriously, Google is a wonderful thing. Try it sometime.
i'm a flute and piano player, but my director wants me to switch to bassoon since our high school bassoon player will be graduating this year. the only problem is: i've never played the bassoon before.
i'm very excited for this opportunity (sp?) and wish to make the best of it, but i can't enjoy playing if i have no clue what to do.
my director is obviously going to help me, but i want to know more on my own, rather than completely depend on her.
does anyone know any basics to playing the bassoon?
any help whatsoever is appreciated.
thank you. :D
Quite frankly, basoon is a very hard instrument (I played for about 5 years). Its good that you play the flute, because playing the bassoon also requires a good amount of dexterity with your fingers.
Other than that its all in the reed. The bassoon reed is more complicated than a sax or clarinet reed, and much harder than the flute. The bassoon reed is basically two very thin reeds that are pressed together, and your lips provide the amount of force pressing them together. Only the right amount of pressure will make the reed make a noise, and to much or too little will make a horrible sqwaking noise. Its really hard to explain, this might help:http://content.answers.com/main/content/wp/en-commons/thumb/8/8e/225px-Bassoon_Reeds.jpg
Your lips go on the kinda flat parts.
But don't be discouraged, the bassoon is a really cool instrument and opens up a lot of opportunities to get into competitive bands because there are so few bassoon players (meaning you dont have to be the best for them to accept you), and, it sounds really cool.
But, I would definitely suggest a teacher. Not your director, a real teacher to help you learn
Have fun!
I was wondering the ball park range of a price for my first car. I just want something small and it would deffinatly be used. Just kinda a beater that would be cheap but not too cheap, if you know what i mean.
How much would this cost?
You can find a junker for around a thousand, a decent used Honda or Toyota for around 3,500, or a very good 6000 dollar used car like the previous person said.
I recommend a used Honda Civic or Accord, or a used Toyota Carolla. They can often be bought under four thousand and make great first cars for many reasons.
