    Anyone gone through MBA application/hired MBA Application consulting?

    Do you have several thousand $ burning a hole in your pocket and/or are you an oversubscribed international applicant (read: Indian)? Yes? then possibly worth it. No? then don't waste your money. Focus on crushing your GMAT, recommendations, and personal story (aka application essays). I...

    What is too much power for a daily driver?

    I've got a stripper e90 328i 6MT and I think the power (230 HP) is about right for the street. The short gearing allows me to run through 1st and 2nd gears and still be around 50-60 MPH aka not risking jail time. Would I like the twin turbos from the 335i? Sure, but it would probably just lead...

    Best way to capitalize on app/cloud computing bubble?

    Well I think we've got a few more years of explosive growth in the sector, then a correction is probably due. In the meantime I'd like to take advantage.

    Best way to capitalize on app/cloud computing bubble?

    I'm sure many of you have experience in the technology sector, so I'm curious as to what everyone's opinions are on investing in developers/tech start ups. Since mobile/web apps and cloud computing solutions are garnering massive interest from consumers, private investors, and retail...

    So I got a job offer...

    $42k for mechanical engineering is a joke. I know because I went through the same process two years ago during the height of the recession. Consider moving to a different part of the country. Sectors that were hit hard and had mass lay offs are now hiring engineers full throttle. For...

    Anyone knowledgeable with credit card transactions?

    This may be a long shot, but does anyone know if there is a way to find out the volume of credit card transactions at an establishment? I'm not interesting in getting data on specific dollar amounts or what particular items are being purchased - just the volume of transactions taking place...

    would you buy the new 2011 Kia Optima?

    The metallic blue turbo model I test drove at the auto show had mis-matched paint between the front+rear bumpers and the steel body. I kid you not, it was clear as day and not due to the lighting conditions. Probably due to the paint not taking to the plastic bumpers in the same way as the...

    ATOT mechanical engineers

    Graduated in 09 with a BSME. Did an internship at general motors manufacturing which I found fascinating. I currently work in oil and gas in houston; first in tech support and now moving towards working on bids/contracts. ME is a definitely a good foundation and there are plenty of jobs to be...

    Are recent Ford Tauruses decent? Alternatives?

    I've owned a 2000 base model Taurus that was totaled at 122k, and I currently own a 2002 fully loaded SEL that now has 133k. Both were purchased for <$5k. They really are solid cars, and the value can't be beat. It's not so much that they are bulletproof reliable, since I've had to fix small...

    Thoughts on used '03-08 BMW Z4's?

    So I've been driving practical cars ever since I got my license (I'm 24 currently), and now that I'm out of college and have decent cash flows every month, I figured it's time to get something I want. I've had my eye on the 2003-08 generation BMW Z4s for quite some time. I love the classic...

    Using adhesive to fix broken metal door handle?

    Hi all, A friend's 98 Jeep Cherokee had the driver's interior door handle break. The door handle is metal, so I'm surprised it broke, but the jeep does have 230k+ miles on it. I went to a junkyard to get a replacement, but all they had was a chrome handle when the ones in her car are matte...

    2001 Taurus for $2500?

    I've owned two high mileage Tauruses (00 w/ OHV and 02 w/ DOHC) that I bought for cheap (<$5k), and they both have been great to me. They are reliable and about as cheap as they get to own. For the same price, you'd be looking at a 15-20+ year old honda or toyota with 200k miles. Really the...

    Wal-Mart "Great Value" Food Items

    GV pizza is great. I swear it's made by digiorno or a similar top-shelf frozen pizza manufacturer. At $4, it blows away the cardboard-tasting and cardboard-thin tombstones/jacks pizzas that sell for the same price.

    What do you guys think of Citi (C)? I liked it back around $3.40, and it spiked up to $4.20 on news that they are looking to pay back TARP soon. I would think with the hurried pace that execs are moving at to pay back TARP (so they can resume exorbitant salaries + bonuses), that C should be...

    Towing with the air conditioning on?

    This was definitely the case with older models. The auto trans in the first two generations (~'86-95) was a poor design and had poor lubrication. A trans rebuild was almost a sure thing between 75,000 and 125,000 miles. The 3rd generation was improved IIRC, but I still don't trust them...

    What would cause the oil pressure light to flicker on an 02 Taurus

    Hey all, I have a 2002 Taurus with the 3.0 DOHC motor, 118k miles, 5w-20 oil. Recently the oil pressure light has been lightly flickering when the engine is at idle speeds (stopped at a light, pulling into a parking space, etc.). However, this only occurs after a long highway drive. I've...

    The "Glass" VW Factory in Dresden

    I worked at GM's most advanced assembly plant (or close to it) in Lansing where they assemble their line of crossovers. They had a very similar setup with lifts, robotic carriers (called automatic guided vehicles, AGVs), and other mechanical assists. After all, there are only so many ways you...

    Auto wreck - need advice part 2

    My 2000 Taurus with 122k miles was recently totaled by a Suburban. It was in pretty rough cosmetic shape, including side airbags that were deployed from a previous incident, but was mechanically in solid shape. Insurance gave me $3750 for it, based upon what used cars sold for in my area...

    trunk-mounted CD changer is not working

    Your 10 disk changer is indeed aftermarket. Ford only offered 6 disk factory changers in 96+ tauruses/sables. I would peel back the trunk carpet and check all of the cables to the changer. The amplifier for the stereo system is also behind the driver's side trunk carpet, so I'd check the...

    New Brakes

    Way overpriced. At autozone, for example, rotors and pads should cost around $100 for both sides, shoes $20-30 for both sides. Tack on another $20/drum for turning at a shop. Brakes are actually one of the easiest jobs you can DIY.

    What kind of reliable car can one buy for 6k?

    Any staple domestic sedan (Taurus, Impala, Malibu, etc) Just picked up a 02' Taurus SEL last month for $3900. Fully loaded with every factory option, though with 105k miles, but they are very reliable and it should run another 75k easy.

    Buying a new vehicle 100 miles up the interstate?

    The car isn't made from fine china, just drive it home. Most break-in procedures (if any) recommend varying speeds / engine RPMs for the first 1000 miles, but frankly, I dont think it's going to make or break anything.
