What do you call front car seats that stretch out from the driver to the front passenger seat?

The seats in old classic cars where only one chair stretches out across from the drivers seat to the front passenger seat. What do you call them and are we still allowed to use them or are they violating some safety issue?

I really don’t know and I would like one in my car.

2006 Hyundai Sonata or 2001 Audi A4?

My car was recently totaled so I have to get a new one. It was a 2003 Buick Lesabre limited that was loaded, it even had heads up display. I sadly couldn’t find another within my price range that came even close to my car in luxury features. I have a budget of around 00. I found two vehicles one was a 2001 Audi A4 1.8T for 95 that was loaded and only had a cracked taillight cover (no big whoop, I see it as a bargaining chip). The cons of it were: 109,000 miles, no tint (a necessary when you have Leather in AZ), premium gas, synthetic oil and expensive replacement parts (not really that big an issue just may cause price of a warranty to go up). The sonata (priced ,998 with 91,356 miles) I looked at also had it’s ups and downs, positives: steering wheel volume controls, a digital Gauge that tells you how far you can go on a tank, cheap and few repairs, new body style and powerful but efficient v6. Cons: cloth seats, drivers seat adjustment may have been broken (didn’t really try much to adjust it, raises my insurance, the alignment was off (It didn’t pull it just went strait when the wheel was at a non significant angle, just another bargaining chip). I got insurance quotes saying the audi brings my insurance down by a year and the sonata being newer raises it a year (I don’t pay for it mom does but I’d feel bad) and when buying it I’d have to get financing even after talking them down (not really a bad because I’m 18 wouldn’t be a bad idea to start building credit, I have a good job and my mom’s credit score is over 800 so cosigners wouldn’t be a problem). I don’t really like the thought of paying for premium gas or expensive repairs when it comes to the audi, but the sonata lacked my luxurious features that my buick had. I need a car that will last me a REALLY long time and not be a money pit. Which vehicle do you think I should go with? And why?
I plan on getting an extended warranty on whichever one I get.

What do you think of my writing? How can I improve?

Curtis’ helmet jarred loosely about his head. He had long considered buckling the strap, but the strap rubbed uncomfortably against his neck and he decided to only buckle it if necessary; So his helmet jarred about his head. He was sitting in the back seat of a US humvee. If you could imagine sand, and lots of it, in every which direction, with a few mountains rising in the distance, that would describe his surroundings perfectly. For Iraq was a sandy place.
" Feeling like the new kid on the block? " Sergeant Lance asked from the seat besides Curtis’.
" Uhh, a bit" Curtis replied, not quite sure how to reply but afraid of giving an unsatisfactory answer to his new squad leader. In the front seats Link, the radio specialist and general nerd of the group, and Baggs, the strong black rifleman, argued over the music choices.
" I don’t care what you think" Baggs started " We’re listening to Young Money"
" Like hell we are" Link retorted " Put in Maroon five"
Baggs chuckled and replied " Sure thing buddy" as he inserted the Young Money disk and the Humvee was filled with Rap music.
" Turn that **** off" Lance called to Baggs
" Oh c’mon sarge, its Young Money!"
" I don’t give a damn if it’s the Queen of England; turn that **** off"
Baggs grimaced and finally reached across to the controls and turned off the music
" ahhh, much better" Link said from the drivers seat.
"That has to be the worst **** i’ve ever heard" said the gunner, Turner, who was manning the machine gun mounted on the top of the Humvee.
"I liked it" Curtis piped in
"Enough" Lance called again " We’ve got a new guy. Name’s Curtis."
" Yeah I seen him" Baggs said after a moment. He then turned and stared out of his window " Crow was better"
" Lets hope this sonofabitch can dodge bullets better than Crow" Turner called down
" Don’t pay any attention to them" Link reassured me from the drivers seat " Half these bastards can’t read. The other half are in the other truck" at this he jerked his thumb back to show the Humvee that was following us.
" Not those three crazy bastards" Baggs said " And I’ll be damned if Big T can read"
" Hey Sarge" Turner interrupted " We got civies up ahead"
"What?" Lance looked concerned " There isn’t a village within twenty miles"
" They’re there" Turner affirmed " take a look"
Turner lowered himself and traded spots with Lance . For the first time Curtis was finally able to observe Turner. He was thin. He had a bandana that covered his face, leaving only his sunburnt eyes visible.
" Well sonofabitch" Lance sounded from the gun " Lets see what they’re doing"
He lowered himself and Turner retook his position.
" Slow up" he said to Link, who obediently slowed the truck until it was at a stop besides the civilians. " Turner, you stay on the gun. Link, be ready for a quick takeoff. Baggs, Curtis, you’re with me." At that he popped open his door and left to meet the civilians. Baggs chanced a glance back to Curtis and said, "Don’t forget your gun", and with that he was also into the sun. Curtis was last to exit. The sun momentarily blinded him, dulling his senses and his connection with the world, but a moment later it passed, and he was able to clearly see the guns pointed at his face.

There is more. I just wanted to give an example. Thank you for reading. If you’ve already answered, please ignore this. I would like to know what you think of the plot and the style. I know there are grammar and maybe some spelling issues. Thank you very much.

My boyfriend and I both dreamt of him getting shot and dying?

I awoke in a complete state of fear and urgency after dreaming of my boyfriends death this morning. I dreamt we were driving and a black cat jumped onto the hood of the car, which I recall thinking in my head was a bad omen. Shortly after that we had arrived at some truck where my boyfriend proceeded to get out and speak to the two men in the car.
The one man sat in the drivers seat and the other man sat right behind him in the backseat. Both these men were someone we knew, but I can no longer recall who they were.
Anyway, my boyfriend seemed a little worried talking to them, so sensing this I went by the passenger side door to see what was going on. This is when the man in the backseat pulled out a gun and shot my boyfriend in the chest. I began sobbing and kissing my boyfriend as he collapsed, gasping for air, onto the side of the truck.
When I wokeup my boyfriend and told him this dream briefly he said he dreamt the same thing the night before. He Said details of it that were terrifyingly the same as my dream. He even saw his belly and chest covered with blood:(
Of course as you would guess im so scared of why we would dream this, so if anyone has any experiences similar to this or any idea to what this would mean, it would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks

So I told me husband that?

I asked this question last week:

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=ArydeSryzkaKKNvPNlOjc_Lty6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20100923105303AAliXxM

And got a lot of great answers and I thought heavily about the entire situation. Well Friday and Saturday rolled around and my husband seemed ok…Sunday all was well until while we were out running errands with our daughter, he decided to stop at his moms house who has been gone since April so he goes and waters her plants, starts up her husbands truck and just checks to make sure nothing major is going on in the house. Well the truck wouldn’t start so he pulled my car up to jump start the truck from. Well it wasn’t charging it enough so he asked me to get in the drivers seat and push the accelerater down a little so it would idle a little higher…I was holding Haley so we both got in the front seat and I continued to hold her while I did this. His cell phone was in the cup holder and she saw it. She loves cell phones, so she picked it up and started playing with it…well what 10 months old consider playing, they hold it and shake it around, etc. Well my husband got the truck started and then motioned like he wanted me to get in so we could go for a ride around the block in it. As I was transporting Haley from one vehicle to the other, she still had his cell phone and she dropped it as I was putting her in the truck. It hit the driveway which is cement. His cell phone cover popped off, the back of the phone popped off and the battery came off as well. As I bent down to pick up the phone and all it’s pieces he said is that my phone and I responded yes. He then went off on me cussing and everything, so I simply turned back around, shut the truck door and got back in my car. When he got back in the car and we started to leave his mom’s he started talking again and I ignored him. He finally said are you going to speak or what, so I got up the nerve to tell him that I wanted a divorce. He said a few things after that, but nothing of importance. When we got home he said are we going to talk about this and I said, what’s the point, nothing ever gets better and then I started crying. For the first time I think ever he walked up to me and grabbed me and started hugging me and ever since then he’s been being extremely nice to me.

Do you think me finally saying I wanted a divorce actually might have scared him? I know he doesn’t want our daughter to grow up the way he did when his parents divorce being put on a schedule and only able to see his dad on his weekend. I’m not really sure what to do now. But he’s been cooking me dinner, washing all the bottles and sippy cups when he gets home from work with her and other stuff.
Thanks girl! I like your advice and think I will do that with him tonight maybe.

1976 BMW 2002i for sale- whats the lowest price for a steal, but still be fair?

So im driving my cousin 200 miles home and 50 miles into it, i see a BMW 2002 sitting at in a parking lot at some place. on the way home i pray its still there. it was. so i stop by and take a look, because what BMW enthusiast wouldnt want to be up close to the holy grail that the 2002 is. to my shock, its for sale.

sure i figure i cant afford it, and the only other 2002 i ever saw was a 74 that the guy fixed up pretty nice and it would go for alot of money. but this one says 0 on the windshield. right away its a steal. it says it still runs, but that would amaze the hell out of me because of the neglected condition its in. the inspection ran out in ’03, and it looks like its been sitting since then. i didnt see under the hood cuz the place is only open wednesdays-fridays. theres rust on the rear fender about the size of a dollar and looks to be rusted all the way through about the size off a quarter. all the rims are rusted, and its missing like 4 out of the 6 chrome strips down the waistline. and the interior could be better. the drivers seat is missing a chunk out of the one bolster.

but all the light covers, glass, and body panels, except for that little bit of rust, are solid and not dented or cracked. i looked the best i could under the car (they just mow the grass around the car) and nothings hanging down. theres a little rust on the chassis next to the front passenger wheel, but other than that it looks to be pretty solid. i have no problem spending 0 on it if it still starts and can drive in a circle, but whats the lowest i could bargain for if it doesnt start, and if it does start, but doesnt move. i dont know if the guy knows what he has. but if hes a BMW enthusiast like me, whats the lowest i could ask for without ripping him off? im 19, been in love with BMWs since i was 9, and i drive a cavalier. sure id love an E46 or fix up an E30, but this… this is the ultimate fixer upper project car. i cant sleep thinking about what it would be like to bring this iconic car home.

Haaaalp!! Car leaking radiator fluid!?

Sooo, my car has been leaking radiator fluid all over the place, its not been fun. LUCKILY my landlord is a mechanic, and was able to locate the leak. He said, its the left intake heater hose…. This is Chinese to me; but he said it was a hose, taken out on the left side of the car if you’re in the drivers seat, that either pushes the fluid in or out of the heating. He told me it would be best if I got the preformed version of this hose to replace in the vehicle. How do I order this online?? How does one figure out the make and model??

Thanks in advance, Wonderful educated experienced people!!
