Is it totaled?

Do you not have your own rental coverage insurance? Your insurance company should be able to hook you up with a rental vehicle immediately and then deal with getting it covered from the at fault party's insurance.

Has anyone added Bluetooth to their car?

Yeah, in my case the head unit had a usb connection available. You could get a usb plug for a cigarette lighter though, and in addition gain the ability to charge your phone.

I used this to great success: http://www.amazon.com/Miccus-Mini-jack-Bluetooth-Transmitter-headphone/dp/B002HHLOWC It plugs into the Aux, and if you have a usb charger you can plug it into that, too. It turns on when the car starts up and will pair with your devices. Never had an issue with...

Going to look at a 99 blazer for my son

Well, if you're looking at late 90s SUVs, why not consider the most infamous? That's right, the exploder. There's a lot of them, so I imagine that increases your odds of finding a decent one around $1k. The 5.0 v8 is considered the most reliable, but gets pretty awful gas mileage, if that's a...

Marchesini forged wheels

Are they magnesium or aluminum? From what I've heard, the aluminum ones don't feel too different, since the OEM wheels are pretty light these days. However, the magnesium ones are apparently legit. My buddy picked up a Gsxr with a set of Marchesini mags and said he noticed the difference. Now...

I'm digging the new 2015 Subaru WRX. Is there anything else like it?

I have not fiddled with turning the traction control off, but I've heard it has 3 settings: On, Off, and Off with active torque vectoring On. All I know is the car felt great rocketing through the twisties in my local mountain passes and had excellent grip in ice and snow with appropriate tires.

New Daily Driver - '15 WRX - Q&A Welcome

Nice ride, OP! Do you plan to add a roof rack? It seems the WRX/Impreza only supports the clamp ones, which is highly unfortunate in my estimation. Isn't there a Forester STI in the works? Ah, it's been teased.

Strange boot loop issue with Asus z87 Pro

I am not overclocking. I troubleshot the memory by trying each memory stick in the #1 slot, so I feel fairly confident about the remaining 3 sticks apart. They were taken from an older build from 2009 or 2010, hence I don't trust them fully. However, outside of changing the Bios settings and...

Strange boot loop issue with Asus z87 Pro

So I've got a strange issue with this board. It boots to Windows just fine. It boots to UEFI just fine. However, when I modify the BIOS settings and then save and reset, the system enters a boot loop. I can get out of the loop by holding down the power button to turn off the system, then hit the...

Another .js (jquery) question.

Yes, you are correct; any modern browser like Chrome or Firefox, and I assume the new IE, have very fast getElementsByClassName methods, so that seems to usually be fastest. However, IE8 does not have the getElementsByClassName function, so I'm not sure point #2 is correct for that scenario. I...

Another .js (jquery) question.

Modern browsers are nice and fast, but can still be brought to their knees if you try, and if you have to support something older like IE8 for enterprise you definitely have to pay attention. From what I've read, getting Ids is faster because the function for that in the browser is usually...

Had an accident - Need help with the report

Based on the wording in #2, it actually sounds like you should draw the cars at their start positions, preparing to turn left, and then draw a solid line to the impact location. I agree you don't need a dotted line if you both stopped immediately. However, if, when he hit you, your car rotated...

Javascript Question: Keep vars updated as form vars change

Why not just use a function instead? function getMyPassword() { return document.forms["registerForm"]["password"].value; }

Sennheiser HD-360 at Amazon 70% off ($45)

I'm not a fan of pleather type headphones because the material seems to crack and peel over time, leading to a bunch of tiny black flakes in and around your ears. I'd recommend taking a look at the Sennheiser 518 instead. Amazon currently has them for 40% off, too. Durable foam around the ears...

Nexus 5, 'Hangouts' app - recommendations for SMS messenger alternatives?

I use 8SMS. You can even change the icon to be the old AOSP icon. I like its simplicity; it also scrolls plenty fast on my Nexus 5.
