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

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.

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...

Is the Galaxy S3-S4 notorious for its faulty micro usb port?

The one on my GS2 went bad. Replacing it was straightforward, but the replacement board I got had a bad antennae (the antennae and micro usb port are on the same board) so I had to cut off that half, cut the old one in half, and put the old antennae with the new port. Pretty ghetto, but works OK...

I use an app called Wifi Key Recovery. It pulls the wireless passwords out and lets you look at them and back them up. A must have if your phone is in a constant state of software turmoil and your friends and relatives are annoyed having to constantly repeat their wireless passwords to you.

Not really, no. You can wear skinny jeans under them, and shorts if they're not too bulky, but it really makes movement awkward. Other leather pants might well work better. I just change when I get to work, although I realize that's not an option for everyone. Still, I believe you can some...

You can have as much nudity in your movie as you want. It just it gets rated NC-17 or whatever and no theaters carry it and you don't make oodles of money. Er, or maybe you do.
