How should a baby car seat be installed to maximize safety?

We followed the instructions when installing the car seat, but we want to be sure that it is installed to maximize safety. Can anyone show me, step-by-step, how to properly install a car seat? There is even a gap between the car seat and the back seat of my car, does anyone have any tips for making this as secure as possible?

Is it a bad idea to buy a 94 mustang gt convertible with 136,000 miles?

The asking price is ,500 It appears to be in good condition.. Only listed problems are heater core and passenger window motor. I most wont likely buy if i can’t talk the guy down to 3k. However, the car insurance and amogi will not be coming out of my wallet.

Aftermarket/mods inclued

flow master exausts,
magna flow xpipe w/ cats
k&k cold air intake
eldinbrook throttle
roush cables
mcd cap
custom seats/ interior
Just a quick fyi…

I would have something similar too if not Amogi auto insurance covering any kind of required work… (it covers everything.)
Remember.. I am not buying if i can not talk to guy down to ,000.

Also, future problems will be payed for by something similar to amogi.
ALSO-

”The auto was rebuilt 20k ago”

i’m not sure what that means though

I need feedback on this house please!! (Pictures) Anyone?

I am getting ready to put this house on the market for what is a great price in this neighborhood. We are trying to downsize and are tired of being landlords. We have just installed a new water pump for the well, a new water heater, will possibly be putting in new HVAC. The exterior will be repainted a little darker grey, with white trim and black shutters. The carpet is relatively new and is high end. There is newer tile in the kitchen and both bathrooms. New faucets, toilet seats, etc.

I am looking for suggestions to make this home stand out, without putting a ton of money into it. I mean, it is really a good deal already!! Please give honest feedback! Thanks!

Here is the link: http://hotpads.com/search/#lat=35.61490112645663&lon=-78.68312180042267&zoom=23&previewId=291836_HotPads&previewType=listing&detailsOpen=true&listingTypes=sale,newHome&includeVaguePricing=false&pricingFrequency=once&loan=30,0.0525,0&visible=new,viewed,favorite&points=lowes

Would you buy this house??? If so, which group are you in (first time homebuyer? Downsizing? Retiring?, etc.)?
Thanks for the comments so far.

I have been getting 00 a month for a rental for the past several years. I have MANY people interested at that price. Several people even want to do a lease-to-own. If I had a buyer, I would be happy to pass their info on.

Where is the 1997 Mitsubishi eclipse air conditioning drain plug ?

I have a wet passenger floor (both front and back seats) in my 97 mitsubishi eclipse rs hard top. It only happens whenever the a/c light is on (defogger/defogger & foot setting). I heard it’s either a hole in my heater core or the air conditioning drain hose is clogged. I don’t believe its heater core because the heat works fine and there is no smell of coolant in the car, and when I dab the carpet dry there is no color to it. The blower fan does make a weird kind of rubbing noise whenever the heat is on but I don’t think its related. Does anyone know where the a/c drain hose is on this car as I want to try unclogging it with a wire or hose. I thought it was under the car but couldn’t find anything. Thank you
"drain hose" not drain plug, sorry

couldn’t find it in either location, there is no hose at all once I lift the carpet up and none visible if I look up the footwell. This thing is killing me, I rebuilt 2 engines, and do all car work myself but can’t find a a/c drain hose haha

How can I get the smell of Kerosene out of my vehicle?

My sweet and wonderful husband transported a kerosene heater and jug of Kerosene for an employee of his- long story short, some of the kerosene spilled out in the cargo area of my SUV, its been a month now, and it is just as strong. I have been airing it out as much as I can and put air fresheners in the car but that’s not working. We’re trying baking soda right now but I don’t have much faith in that either! What in the world can I do- Its my daily driver, I’m 34 weeks pregnant & don’t need to smell that! I also need to have the car seat put in but can’t until the smell is gone- HELP!!! Any ideas on what we can do???

(On this bike I would take off the pegs, and lower the seat)

Are these good bikes? The first bike looks a little chewed up, and rusted. The second bike is cool, and cheap. The third is Kink Quality, and is cheap for a new complete. And the fourth one is a hoffman, but looks like a flatland bike which is what I DON’T want. Which bike should I get?!
I would take off the pegs so it would be lighter

why is my car floorboard wet?Desperate for help!?

I have an ’01 mitsubishi eclipse and the driverside floorboard (front & back) continues to stay soaked in water. I brought it 2 the mechanic & he thougth it was the heater core so he bypassed it untill a new one came in but even with the heater core being bypassed my floor still continued to stay soaked, I brought the car back to him and he then blowed the air conditioner drain out to make sure it was not clogged up, and that did not do any good either, today I completly gave in and decided to try and figure it out myself so i removed my front driver seat, back seat, and everything else bolted to the floor of the car so that i could pull up the soaked carpet and their was places 1 inch deep in water in the floor of the metal frame. I dont know where the water is coming from, there has been no visual evidence of where it could be leaking from… if there is anyone who has had similar problems, or any 1 who knows anything about cars PLEASE give your opinions or thoughts on my situation!!
it has not rained where i live for a while now… so it is not coming from the outside of the car
the only places that are wet are the front and back driverside floorboard

Mean bus driver?My 15 yr old has been coming home complaining that the bus driver is"backwoods & sexist"I have

told her that things are different down here in Georgia & to try to take it in stride. She is on the bus from 7:AM til 8:05 one way during the AM. So far she has told me that he: *screams "Shut up" on a regular basis, *he segragates the seats so the girls are stacked up 3 to a seat while the boys are mostly 1to a seat;2 seats have two boys in them, * a girl was complaining of being cold & kept asking him to turn on the heater when he did turn on the heater a boy in front of them put his window down & the driver just laughed & wouldn’t make him put it up,* when several girls told him to do his job he threatened to write them up for being disruptive, *he’s bragged about having two wives. His own DD rides the bus & is humiliated by this guy. I haven’t said anything yet because nothing has happened directly to my DD till y.day when his supervisor rode the bus with him. The supervisor took my DD hairbrush & never gave it back & said it was a violation & threatend to write her & others up?
As far as "she knows not to take a brush…" the object rule here reads: may not have an object that might interfere with the school bus operation. And I have never seen a hairbrush interfere in the operation of a school bus.
