Q: Help! Single mom with an upside down payment on a vehicle that needs engine replaced, insurance didn’t accept
In May of 2007 I broke my ride and still own it. In San Antonio 2007 it rained so much, too much, it flooded out my car. So here are the chains of events which lead to my car being an issue. My car got flooded
•Was towed and dried out-worked but ticked
•Brought to an oil shop to drain water-
•Oil shop never removed oil-
•Car breaks-
•Get quoted for engine replacement and motor cost-$3,650
•Claimed to insurance
•Apparently was in between coverage when incident occurred (no INS coverage at time of incident)-got lawyer to lawsuit oil repair shop
•Fired lawyer (got ripped-off)
•Stuck making payments on a broke vehicle
So what can I do?
I’m a young college student, single momma all on her own, no child support or government (not by choice), and well luckily I’m pretty and it pays the bills. Yet this one I haven’t been able to fix since May, I need to fix it! Just want to know if I should fix (if so how to pay for that), trade it in with bad credit, or just pray for a miracle to help me? I need a vehicle to make income, to achieve goals, to take my son to the hospital when he gets ill; I just want my ride or a ride at a rate I can afford, how can I get that to get my life back?

The car is a 2003 Chevy Malibu with 150000 miles on estimate; don’t get to see it often as it sits on my folk’s driveway. It has an upside down loan out on it, the repairs are to replace engine and motor is locked. I’m looking for a way to fix it that is cost efficient for my status or to trade it in without having to pay monthly payments that are insane for a new to me vehicle( looking for cheap payments) I need a vehicle for work purposes, childcare, and to go to school. What are some ways to fix my predictment that what I’m inquiring? I’m all alone with no help, I’m seeking advice or actual people whom can help me achieve a better outcome than what I’m dealing with. What should I do?

How can I get a car going, in desperate need of one or some advice????
I’m looking for good heart and suggestion as to how I can fix this issue, not rude comments. Please I have already enough stress, I’m seeking advice as to how to fix mine, thats all. Not nasty comments.
Reminder I’m asking about how to fix my car and the problem I’m facing. Sorry if I offended anyone by having a good self esteem and confidence I’m not willing to loose over having problems.

A: You could call some shops and get prices to put a used engine in the car, would be cheaper. If the whole car was flooded I would expect alot more trouble with the rest of it after the engine is fixed, maybe not worth fixing.

Q: Houston for a city break?
I live in the UK, but have been to most big North American cities, NYC, San Francisco, Seattle, Washington, Chicago etc… and I have enjoyed them all immensely. I like wandering around, discovering neighborood, going to museums, and the nightlife.

My brother has been on a press trip to Texas 3 times now, each time stopping in Houston, and he is raving about it. He said there are lots of galleries, theatre and art, the bars are great and it’s cheap compared to other cities. Plus he doesn’t drive yet he seems to have managed

But the odd thing is the few colleagues of mine who have been all said it was dull and sprawling, and a definite no without a car.

My brother is a busy man and I don’t see him much so can’t ask him to go into too much details but what do you think, if you live there or know the city? I take it my brother stayed in the Galleria area as everything seems within walking distance there

I mean I could go back to Chicago or something but was keen to do something different, I thought about 4 nights in Houston and then maybe 3 nights in San Antonio.

And by the way what is the weather like in November?

A: Yes your brother is right Houston has all that stuff, but your friends are right too. Houston is spread out and a car is good to have.

The Galleria area is great for upscale shopping, bars, and resturants.

A better choice for someone without a car might be any where along the light rail line which serves Downtown, Theatre District, Museum District, Houston Zoo, Hermann Park, and the Medical Center.

The Hotel Zaza would be a good choice, it is centrally located in the Museum District.

San Antonio is a great place too. Stay Downtown in one of the many Hotels along the Riverwalk.

Texas is very HOT in the Summer time. Best time to visit is Fall or Spring.

Q: What should I do about my room mate?
I have a question that I would like to ask and possibly get help with the problem. My husband and I moved to San Antonio in 2007, so my husband could go back to school. We moved our child and us into a small apt and rented it for about 2 years. My husband has finished school and is on his journey to building a career in his industry. Our friend moved to this area a year ago with his brother and a friend. They rented a huge house and a few months later our friend was left alone, in a lease, with no room mates. Immediately, he started asking us to move in. Well in January, our friend decided he wanted to go back to school, and asked again if we would roomy with him and we finally gave in because going to school was such a positive experience, and he was such a good friend, we thought “hey lets lend a helping hand.” However, we were wrong because we never fully discussed everything.
Well as SOON as we moved in, he completely changed. He started acting like a dictator, is manipulative and VERY passive aggressive. He began acting like “he was helping us” and saying that “he cut our bills in half” well actually we are paying MORE. He insists that he gets the master bedroom, private bathroom, and the computer room–while my husband and I have a small one person bedroom and my son gets an even smaller room, BUT he claims that his “Master” bedroom is 35 square feet LESS than our TWO bedrooms (plus we have a child on the way)
Now, he buys has this HUGE TV, a Monster computer and he insists the we use HIS TV, we have a 42 inch Plasma 720P and he has a 62 inch DLP HDTV. However, he is hardly here and will not allow us to change the TV so that we can save a few dollars on the energy bill.
He also has a girlfriend that spends more then half of her time here and MOANS as loud as she can, practically screaming, so the entire house (including my husband and 3 year old) can hear her at all hours of the day. She showers here, uses the internet and eats. Oh did I mention that he hands us maybe 40 bucks a month for food, and then proceeds to eat my 3 YEAR OLDS food!! Drinks the milk, uses all the sugar and even will grab the pizza box if we bought pizza, the of course he didn’t chip in for. He takes bath tissue from my bathroom, uses my entire bottle of windex cleaning his girlfriends car, uses all my bleach, takes my clothes out of the washer to wash his clothes, leaves them soaking wet, while he washes his clothes, and then leaves for 3 hours, so either A.) I have to finish his laundry or B.) wait 3 hours and stay up all night finishing them. Did I mention I am 8 months pregnant????
His girlfriend and him lay all over my couch, and my husband and I have to sit on his small couch.
He thinks he is entitled to the food because he believes that he should only pay 1/3 of the bills, but doesn’t even consider his girlfriend!
Now his girlfriends grandmother got sick, so they stayed at her place for 3 weeks, and I just know he is going to try to get out of his portion of the bills. He also moves our stuff without asking, threw a party while we went away and had his 19 year old friend (he is 29) puking all over of my bathroom, and used my 30 dollar show towel to clean up dirt, and I had clean cheap towels in the closet!! He also insults me, constantly. He even insulted the kind of FOOD I BUY!!!

Granted that my husband works from home, I do not work–so all 3 of us are always here, constantly using the energy, TV and so forth…I am sure we are ALWAYS here and my son can be loud and messy, heck so can we! But I DO NOT feel like I should pay 2/3 of the bills!! Why should I pay for his appliances that he cannot afford? Or pay to feed him and his girlfriend? Or live in small bedrooms while they live like kings of the house?? There is also NO talking to him, he is so passive aggressive, he avoids us when we try to talk to him, and then does what he wants with OUR stuff when we aren’t looking, even using our food.

So, we told him we were moving out and he was angry about it. I feel bad because I know he cannot afford this place. I also know that he will give up on school, when his last job let him go and basically told him he was a “used car salesman” which I do not feel is right!
He is trying to impress his 19 year old girlfriend, and has begun acting like a 19 year old!
Am I wrong? Should I change my opinion?
BTW: The money he hands us for food, he gets specific food, we buy him his own “stuff” which he eats all of and then starts on our food.

A: First, you moved in there to help him . He can start paying for everything . He’s an adult and needs to take responsibility for him self . You can’t feel bad for someone who takes advantage of others and has no problem doing so . And in most cases the people who are paying more of the rent usually get the bigger room . He can find new roommates if he wants and see how long he can treat them like that . I say , you have a family and should be in a place of your own . Your child shouldn’t have to suffer and besides , you’ll need a bigger place when your baby comes . So , don’t feel bad . He’s the one who took advantage of YOU .

Good Luck

Q: What air line is better to fly with?
We are going on a family vacation and i want to buy the tickets as soon as possible but it’s only for me and my 2 going to be 3 year old niece. We are usually a driving family but no one wants to drive 26 hours with a 2 year old in a car. I have only been on Continental and it was nice but i want something a little cheaper to Mc Allen texas if possible if not to San Antonio TX. HELP!!
Im sorry im leaving from Chicago and going to Mexico my family will meet me in McAllen to take us to Mexico.

A: Since it’s a regional flight I would probably go with Delta or Southwest (if possible)
Southwest has the cheapest fares and extra luggage is cheap.
Delta probably has a cheap fare as well and also has many planes going to the same location at once especially non-stop ones.
Lastly It also depends on what time of day you’re flying if it’s around lunch or dinner time gocwith Delta they have really good food but sometimes can be greasy.
REMEMBER ITS YOUR CHOICE NOT OURS TO PICK YOUR FLIGHT!!!!

Q: Im in a hurry and need some help!?
About an hour ago I just found out my uncle the man who practically raised me got in a horrible car accident and died. I live in New York and my whole family lives in San Antonio, TX. They all won’t me there like by tomorrow and im broke. I need to know what the cheapest way I can get there is. I know it is cheaper to fly into Austin but I need more help I want to leave tomorrow and come back home on the 20th I would fly out of Syracuse, NY. If anyone can give some advice that would be great. My family really needs me.

A: AirTran is going to offer the cheapest flights. Maybe the family that want you there now can help out on the expenses.

Sorry for the lose.

Flights will cost a bit more because you are not booking in advance. Call the travel agents at the airline you choose and let them know the situation and they will help you choose the best possible flight plan.

Q: Can I sue my ex fiance for damages?
I need help…please no smart remarks. Thank you

So, I have been dating my ex fiance for a year now. About four months ago he convince me to leave my job and move in with him 250 miles away. I stupidly said yes. I quit my job and I moved in with him. He then later convince me to cut off my cell. He said it was cheaper if he add me to his plan. I agreed. Now by this time we were already engaged and living together. We even had accounts together. He then convince me to sell my car. He said that as a wedding present he had bought me a vehicle. I did. Everything was perfect. I thought he was the one. Then things changed. I found out he cheated on me on the night he put his hand on me. Yes he hit me and then confess that he had slept with a girl off the street. I left him. I had to move back to san antonio and restart my life. He cut off the cell phones and now he wants his jeep back. I just moved back and used the little money i had to rent. I am currently looking for a job. The jeep is under his name. I know, I know I should have made him put it under my name. He keeps calling me and my family. He changes his mind every hour. He text me that he is sorry for cheating and hitting me and that I can keep the Jeep. Then he text me that he is going to report the Jeep stolen. I don’t think this is fair. I know the best thing to do is to just give it to him and move on. But its not fair. I lost so much in this. I trusted him. I loved him. I am so stupid. I let him convince me to get rid of my things because I thought he was right. I later found out that he did this to feel in control. So that if for any reason I wanted to leave him I couldn’t. So that when he wanted to leave me he would leave me with nothing.

My question is. Can I sue him for damages? Can I sue him for anything? I have text messages were he tells me to keep the Jeep. I have so many text messages of him insulting me and telling me that I had nothing before him and how I will have nothing after him. He keeps calling me. He keeps calling my mother. He keeps calling my brother. He cant get away with this. Its not fair. Please I need some legal advice.
Thank you.

A: No. You can’t sue him for “damages.” You haven’t really been acting like it, but you are an adult. You are responsible for your own decisions . . . and for the reasonably foreseeable consequences of those decisions. “It’s not fair” might be your mantra – but it doesn’t create a legal case and it doesn’t mean that you get a payday because you were foolish. Frankly, you are fortunate that you got out when you did. It’s extremely common for a woman in your situation to have a couple of kids and five to ten years of being unemployed when she finally leaves. If you think you have “nothing” right now – imagine what your situation would have been like in a few years.

What can you do? Change your cell number so he no longer has it. Send him a letter advising him that you do not want him to contact you or any of your family members anymore otherwise you will be required to obtain an anti-harassment (protection) order against him.

As far as the ownership of the jeep? Did you trade your vehicle in to obtain the jeep? Did you contribute financially in any way to get this jeep? If you sold your car and the money was used for other things and then HE bought the jeep, then chances are pretty good you will not get to keep it unless you can convince a judge that he gave you the jeep in exchange for something other than an expectation that the two of you would be getting married. He cannot report the jeep stolen – because this is a civil matter. If his is the only name on the title, he can come and get the jeep. But either of you can sue the other over the ownership of the jeep – and you just having your name on the jeep would NOT mean that you would automatically get to keep it.

Q: Where can I get a great tint job for my car in San Antonio, Tx, for a cheap price?
Naturally, I want to get something that will last, and not turn purple since I plan on keeping my car untill It no longer works! But I need a good, low price. Where should I go? What should I look for, and what (or who) should I avoid?

A: OK, for starters, stay away from what are known as “dyed” films! Although these are cheap, they don’t last because the dyes within this kind of tint, fades out over time. The UV rays of the sun cause the “colored dyes” within these films to fade into an unattractive purple color just like you mentioned, so dyed films are a big no-no if you want your tint job to last (dyed films have about a 2 or 3 yr lifespan before the bubbling and color change starts)! Secondly, make sure you get what is known as a “metalized” or “metal sputtered” film! Metal tint jobs not only keep out upwards of 60% of the sun’s UV rays and heat vs. 30% for dyed films, but they last much much longer. The metal fibers that are embedded in the plastic film aren’t altered by the sun’s UV rays like the dyes, and so this type of film will last and last (upwards of 10 years or more)! Since most people don’t keep the same car for more than about 5 years, a 10 year lifespan is more than most folks need! Whatever you do, please don’t go to the tint place named after your momma! Their work is good, but the prices are outragous! A cheap, dyed tint with a 3 yr warranty on a 2 door car costs $120, and a better metal film with a lifetime warranty costs $200 (I was just quoted these prices by one of their stores, call them up and see for yourself)! They even quoted me $400 for what they call a “ceramic” tint job! Sure the idea of a ceramic film is neat, but it doesn’t really keep out much more heat than metal film does, and the warranty isn’t any better (how can you improve on a lifetime warranty anyway)! No sir, that’s way to much to pay if you ask me, but then again they DO have to pay for all of those TV and radio ads, don’t they? Try calling my friends over at MOFO’s Vehicle Accessories. The owners have over 30 years of experience combined in the car and truck accessories business! They also have any and everything you could ever want for a car or truck including window tint! Their tinter has been been tinting for over 16 years AND they only charge $100 for a metal tint with a lifetime warranty
(instead of $200 like “mamma’s” does)! You can call them at (210)400-0240 or email them at mofosaccessories@yahoo.com . They tinted my car and left it looking perfect! Good luck to you! I hope I helped!
