Resolved Question: month to month rent question <
Author: adminJan 29
I rent a 2 car garage for a classic car. Sadly the elderly lady passed away. I pay month to month and pay once every two months. I have already paid for jan thru feb 2011. My question is how long does the son have to give me legally before I have to actually move out.
2). If I go ahead and pay for march / april 2011 and he cashes my check, am I safe until the end of april even if he sells the house ?
Or can the new buyers boot my butt as soon as the contract is signed?
should I write anything legally special on the upcoming march april 2011 payment check ?
The son informed me as of this date he HAS listed the house but will keep the real estate salespeople out of the garage until I take inventory. Any worries there ?
The son has gave me his address and told me to send new regular 2 month payments to him.
I live 2 1/2 hrs away now and am hoping I dont have to move till spring !

Resolved Question: some bands like Tool?
Author: adminJan 29
I don’t necessarily mean vocalists that sound like Maynard (E.g Chevelle)
I mean the same type of feel as Tool, that same intense emotional Prog feel.
And yes I know about A Perfect Circle + Puscifer
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Thank you!

Resolved Question: 1976 MGB Convertible, Worth It?
Author: adminJan 28
I found a lady who is selling a 1976 MGB in my State, for 3500 bucks.
I want to know, from someone who knows about these cars, is this worth it? Let me describe the condition of this car, that was described to me.
The car has had an engine swap, with the current engine sitting at 20,000 miles. No leaks in the roof at all, and she said it may need brake pads for the front, because they feel like they could be better, but the car stops like it is supposed to.
Other than that, there is a few scratches in the paint here and there, and it leaks a few drops of oil each month, not enough to be concerned about.
If she is telling the truth, (I am taking a mechanic with me to look at the car before I make a decision) Do you think that this car is worth it?
I want to hear from people who know about classic cars, not the people who think just because a car is old, it is not dependable. My 1963 Chevy Pickup runs to this day on the original engine, perfectly fine, never needing anything.
If you guys know about these cars from personal experience, that would be even better!! I know they are little, ive seen a few of them in person.
Thank you so much for your time!
Open Question: Heartbroken and destroyed. Need Help!!!!?
Author: adminJan 28
Hey everyone, just wanted to share my story and hope I can get something positive back.
I’m an emotional wreck right now every since Thanksgiving Day. I’m 35 and had been dating this girl all last summer and she had a little boy that I grew to love as my own. Anyway she didn’t have a job or a car was living off the government and I wanted to help pull her out of all that. Not to brag but I have a little bit of money and I bought her and her kid anything they wanted. I told her she needed to get a job even if it was at a grocery store it would be something to get her out of her apartment some. She said she can’t she don’t have a car. I’ve been into restoring and selling classic cars for 18 years I’m always buying selling and trading on used cars and motorcycles. Anyway I wanted to really do something nice for her and surprise her. I had just finished restoring an old chevy pickup and had it up for sell. Ended up having someone wanting to trade me a 2005 toyota camry for it. It was a little 4 cylinder automatic car very clean and in great shape and I thought this would be perfect for Courtney. So I traded with the man, changed the oil and checked it over then took it to her apartment. I handed her the keys and the title to the car and said here you go baby doll it’s paid for and even gave her the money to have it registered and insured. All was good for a couple week until she started calling me all the time needing gas money. I said that car gets 30 MPGs where you been going? She said just out with friends. Anyway come Thanksgiving Day she did not want me around not even to be calling her phone again I was paying for. I find out from her neighbor she had been out running around with some guy. When I ask about this she came clean and told me yeah I’ve found someone else. I feel apart and ask why baby? She explained to me how he was SOOO much better looking. I said after everything I’ve done for you and your kid your going to do me like this? She said it is what it is you can’t compete with him. I ask where dose he work? She said well hes not right now I’ve been out helping him look for a job. I said oh ok so he don’t have a job?? LONG PAUSE…. I said let me guess he don’t have his own car either that’s why you been needing all this gas money so you could run him around in the car I gave to you? She said you best leave me alone or Nick will beat your *** and trust me he can no problem.
So I’m totaly heartbroken and lost in life right now. I’ve not been out working I’ve lost the drive to get out there and do my car deals I do. Find fix sell trade. ect ect. I’ve been trying to get a engine in a Trans Am for 2 weeks now can’t stay focused on what I’m doing for my mind always thinking of her and what I did wrong and get to emotional to work on stuff. I’ve sat alone in my house for weeks just wanting to give up. I sold a motorcycle I’ve had forever just because I can’t look at it with out thinking of her because she loved to ride that bike with me. I have no one I can talk to I sit in my garage all day looking at stuff that has to be done yet can’t find the strength or the drive to get up and do it.
I need help just don’t know where to turn….
