Q: Where is the cheapest rental car with unlimited mileage?
My boyfriend and I are considering a trip from Chicago to New Jersey and back with stops along the way. I would like to know how to get the best rate on a rental car with unlimited mileage to possibly do this in.

A: I used Avis, it is unlimited and allows interstate..

Q: electric car?
They built it in 1888. In 1896 the Woods Motor Vehicle Company became the first American manufacturer of the electric car. It was a good product; by 1904 one third of all the cars in Chicago, New York City and Boston were electric powered. And then by 1912 there were 20,000 electric cars and 10,000 electric trucks and buses in the United States. What happened here? Where did they go? And why am i paying 3.45 a gallon for a gas powered vehicle?

A: The people who had leased the ones from Ford loved them. They fought to buy them after their leases were up, but were not allowed. Big Oil wanted those cars out of here so they could inundate us with huge SUV’s and get everyone hooked on massive gas consumption. They went out of the US.

Too bad.

Q: help on choosing a new car?
i can’t decide on which car to choose. i’m looking for something like a small-medium car and at the most in the low $20,000s..drive to college 35 miles each way/4 days a week. live in chicago..basically i’m looking for something fuel efficient but also something not too slow…i’m currently driving a ‘97 expedition but that thing is a gas guzzler. so any advice would help.thanx in advance

A: Well, try like a ford hybrid.

Q: New York to San Francisco in 16days by car?
Hi every1,
As the title says, 16days cruisin’ coast to coast. Can anyone recommend places to visit off the beaten track (ie apart from vegas, chicago, la etc). Basically are there any must see but little known gems anywhere along this route? Thanks in advance, much appreciate any input

A: Here’s the deal >You’re taking 16days to do a trip that usually takes 3-4 days to do although I’ve done it in 56 chemically aided hours
Your first rule will be to use interstates only when you have to
Your second rule should be to find some type of theme to tie it all together .If you’re an American History freak this can be a really cool trip
Two possibe US highways that you can you use and unlike the much over -hyped Rt 66. large portions of these roads still exist and are used every day and either one of them will take you thru some really wild and wooly places
US 30 is one of them
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Route_30
and US 50 is the other one
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Route_50
Set a theme,grab a map,toss a CB on board b/c the reality is that in some of those wild and wooly places a CB will work where a cellphone will not and have some fun

Q: Should I move to Chicago, Atlanta or New York?
I’m a 28-year old health administration professional that is looking to relocate. I have my B.S. in Health and I will have my MHA by year’s end. I’ve lived in Houston all my life and I want something new. I’ve traveled quite a bit around the country and I’ve narrowed my choices down to Chicago, Atlanta, and New York. I like to shop, go out, socialize & travel. I’m single so I’d like something with an active dating scene. I want to live somewhere more “metropolitan” than Houston (preferably in a high-rise) but also affordable. I expect to be earning 50-60/K which should increase once I complete my MHA so I need to be able to live & still have income left over for shopping & travel. I hate the hot, humid summers of Houston. I also wouldn’t mind having a roommate if it allows me to live in a nicer place.

I love everything about NYC except the cost of living. I’ll only live there if I can live in Manhattan. I haven’t been to Chicago yet, but if it is a “midwest Manhattan” I’ll probably like it but I’m little hesistant about the winters. I also really like the feel and population of Atlanta although it almost seems like a slightly better version of Houston. I have a new car but I would like the experience of walking and/or taking the subway. I have one friend in Atlanta. I don’t know anyone in Chicago or New York.

Given this information, which one should I choose?

A: Okay, um, basing my response upon your description, know this: I am a 13-year-old girl who aspires to someday make it big in the city. I am planning on being a magazine editor and part-time model in the city; I feel some kind of rare connection to the city. Maybe I lived there in a past life or something.

Anyway, about your crisis, I think you should move to New York City. Not only because of my generalized idea of the city; but also because of your description. It has an amazing night life (clubs, bars, etc) and it is known for having people from all around the world. The city, you should know, is cultural and certainly demonstrates much diversity. The dating scene, hence, is quite the satisfaction, then; if you know what I mean Yes, it’s pricey; however, in the end, it is so worth it. Because the people you meet and food you eat and places you go to there are unlike any other place you’ll ever roam. Walking is almost a must there (however, that’s only because the city is so delightful that people choose to, since the transportation is also quite amazing. Remember, taxi’s all around, along with the bus and subway, etc.) ;D

Since making it there with the budget is quite very difficult, being there — just physically holding up there — is incredible! So what would be considered ‘rich’ in your current hometown, may not be considered nearly as rich in New York. It’d be considered almost ‘low class’. Nah, I’m overreacting but, like, you would be lucky if it would be classified as even ‘middle class’.

Finding a job there is also difficult (getting hired, or w/e) but you already have the job thing figured out, so one step ahead than the typical person. Good for you. The shopping there is also incredible and the restaurants. I can guarantee you’ll find your partner in no time. New Yorkers are quite attractive, if you ask me. Then again; I’m only thirteen, but…you know. Haha. Roommates aren’t necessary, however, you can use them desperately — plus I think it’d fun to have a best friend there who you can go to every night for advice and to tell them how your day’s been, what’s new, what’s going on, etc. Preferably a New Yorker so that she can introduce you to some of her friends, so you fit right in. Traveling is easy from there; once in a while, it’s nice to go some place with less activity, as New York City is known as the city that never sleeps.

Given this information, which one should I choose?

A: Atlanta is Boring and NY is dirty, dangerous and crowded. Chicago has everything and is a huge city with miles of some of the tallest buildings in the world, along with the best museuams, theaters, lake and river fronts, etc

Q: Chicago or New York to fall in Love?
Hello! I’ve decided to move to either of these cities to fall in love. It’s impossible to be spontaneously social in Los Angeles as I find myself stuck in my car to and from work! Which of these cities would you recommend? In my ideal neighbourhood I’ll love to have the outdoors/ a park, a bookstores, farmers market, cozy coffee shops, running and yoga, and a patio or a backyard in my apartment.

Thanks!

A: Focus on yourself. Don’t change your entire life to look for love. Change your life for yourself, and if you happen to meet someone along the way then great.

Q: What would cost more?: Renting a car or Flying?
Would it cost more to rent a car and drive to Chicago from New York or buying a plane ticket?
I would be staying for a week and driving back….
tomc – I’m driving TO Chicago FROM New York…

A: Well…it would be important to know how long you’re staying in Chicago, since car rentals are per-day and/or per-week.
Or did you mean you’re going on a one-way trip?

Update: Then cheaper to fly, for sure.

Flying 8/10 – 8/17: About $350
Driving 8/9 – 8/18, so that you can actually be there 8/10 – 8/17: No way you could rent a car for 9 days and put 1600 miles’ worth of gas in it for that cheap.

Q: how can i find build date for new car order?
Ford Chicago Assembly Plant

A: VIN Number

Q: Can car hire companies allow you to drive from LA to NY. If so what are ones with best deals?
I’m planning 6 months out and I want to spend 3-4 weeks travelling across america from LA to NY via New Orleans and Chicago. I hear that some companies allow some people to drive the cars back to garages in New York. Which ones are they?

A: I doubt you will find any rental/hire agencies that will allow you to take one of their cars from Los Angeles to New York. That’s over 3000 miles. How would they get the car back? Also understand that many rental/hire agencies have GPS transponders hidden in the car to allow them to see just where the car is at any one time, and will surcharge you for driving in states that were nor declared on the rental agreement.

Q: Are New York, Chicago, and DC the best places for a young adult to live?
excellent public transportation- great because you dont need a designated driver and also great because you dont have to pay over the top expensive insurance rates or have to worry about the fact that stupid rental car companies dont rent to anyone under 25
thriving nightlife- hop from one bar to the next and many times they are on the same street
plenty of chances to flirt with some beautiful girls wherever that may be- bars, restaurants, on the street, cooking class, etc
LA, Miami,and Atlanta do have some really beautiful girls who walk around in bikinis but seriously..you need to drive everywhere which sucks if you wanna go out and party

A: You forgot some other good cities for young people:

L.A., Atlanta, & Miami.

Q: Is this good for the price since its easy to get a new car title? ?
i found this ad in Craigslist.com and i want to know wat you think about it. i just need a car to get from a to b. to and from work. i live in chicago and my job is in skokie which takes about a half hour by car. and i heard its easy and cheap to get a car title. and i ws thinking if there is anything wrong with it i can have my dad fix it. or me, we both know about cars. so just tell me wat you think. Thank You.

A: (Junk Title!)

That has a specific meaning. Not salvage, JUNK which means this car is parts only, you can’t get plates or insurance on it or drive it.

If you need parts, tow it home. If you’re looking to drive to Skokie, pass on this one.

Q: Should I get a new car or use public transportation?
I have a ‘97 corolla with that is dying. I’m moving to a suburb of Chicago to live with my aunt and I can get by with public transportation. I was wondering what vehicle ownership really costs, I think this will help me make my decision. I’ve been trying to make a list of *all the expenses related to a vehicle; and then way the pros and cons of not owning/not-owning a vehicle. Also are there any good online sites with calculators for this? I found these three, but I’m not sure how they calculate the expenses:
http://www.youngmoney.com/calculators/auto_buying/auto_loan
http://www.fuelefficiency.org/?q=car_buyers_guide

http://www.bloomberg.com/invest/calculators/leasebuy.html

A: with the cost of fuel public is better, if you can do it. you can always rent a car for trips. also try using words like true cost of ownership, put in the vehicle you are thinking about,and it will show you ave fuel costs, maintenance, depreciation,etc. example prius and civic hybrid. ave 5 year costs(depreciation is huge chunk) were about $38000,

Q: Should I sell my car if I move to Chicago?
I am thinking about moving across the country from Upstate New York to Chicago IL. I’ve got some friends already out there, and Could likely transfer with the company I work for. I’ve visited the city multiple times and Really loved it every time I went. But I’m not sure if its worth keeping my Car if I go. I’ve never been without a Car though I’m not sure I’d need one there. And at least to start I’d be on a fairly tight budget, loosing the car might actually make things month to month easier BUT if things don’t work out…I have no exit strategy…What should I do?

FYI my car is a fully paid off 02 Nissan Sentra, nothing flashing but runs great and NO CAR PAYMENTS!) My credit is… “not so great” so just buying a new one if I need to is actually easier said then done…So keep that in mind if you decide to give me your two cents… Thanks

A: I was in a similar situation when I moved back to Chicago last August. I had an older car, paid in full, but when I started to think about how much money I could save by not having to purchase gas, a city sticker, pay for insurance, etc., selling it seemed like a good idea….in fact, it was. My job was downtown, so driving was not even an option (parking is expensive and traffic is insane). I lived two blocks from a grocery store, one block from a bunch of restaurants and a bar, one block from a laundromat, and a few steps away from a bus and the train. A couple of acquaintances, who can afford to drive BMWs and Porsches if they want to, choose to take the “L” and taxis.

It does depend where you decide to live. Most of the north side would be fine without a car (especially the Gold Coast, Lincoln Park, Ravenswood, Andersonville, and some areas in Uptown and Rogers Park). It’s a pain in the butt getting around the suburbs without a car (except for Evanston and Skokie, IMO), and some of the far western parts of the city are not as pedestrian friendly as areas near the lake.

Do I miss having a car? Yeah. It sucks carrying cat litter home, and I hate waiting for busses when it’s cold. However, when I think of the money I’m saving, I don’t feel so bad (it’s expensive enough living here). Maybe move with your car, and see how things work out once you’re here.

Good luck to you!

Q: Where can we go for a donated car?
I am a pastor and my family of 4 cannot afford a new car right now, but we need one in order to get my son to school. We don’t need anything fancy — just something that works. I know that older cars are donated to those in need, but where would we go for information about that? We have a few hundred bucks, but not much to spend. (We live in a western suburb of Chicago.)

A: post an ad on www.craigslist.com for your city. Do internet searches for places that “accept” donated cars and then ask them whom they give them to. See if you can’t be one of the receivers. May Jesus richly bless you!
