Where can i buy a Chuck E. Cheese animatronic band member?

I'm looking to buy any member of the band, even ones from other pizzerias like showbiz pizza, the animatronics can be broken or not, i don't care. I'm just wanting to buy one.

Pickup for Taylor GS mini guitar?

I'm wondering if the Fishman sound hole pickup or the Taylor ES-go which is designed for my guitar, i don't know which one to get. I probably won't buy a pickup soon, i'm just starting out and would like to know a little more about it. Will these pickups allow my acoustic to sound electric? because thats the most important thing. I'm at college and was thinking of getting a pickup and a mini amp if i wanted my acoustic to sound electric. Is is a good idea, will it work?

Question: Is buying a car with 45,000 miles on it too much for a 2012?

Posted: 26 Oct 2014 08:10 PM PDT

No. The car has done a few miles for it's age, and the price should reflect that. But high mileage on a late model car suggests a lot of open road driving. Steady speed, warm engine etc. That causes very little wear on the engine or gearbox.

Not sure about the price as that's often down to location, but the vehicle is late model, and doen't have high miles, and it should be reliable for another couple of hundred thousand with only routine maintenence.

Question: Is buying a flooded car a bad idea?

What is your budget for time?

Going to have to basically take the entire car apart and inspect everything. Clean every electrical connector, replace every computer/electronic that got water damage, clean out/replace every hose/line, disinfect/clean everything, plus figure out if tranny can be saved.

I've tried restoring a flood car once (Volvo 240) and gave up after a couple weeks and just bought the exact same car and kept my flooded car for random parts. The Volvo is 10x simpler than a Genesis.

Can you completely dis and reassemble a car?

How much is your time worth? You can buy a used working car for just over your budget that won't take several hundred hours to restore and potentially well over $10,000 (and still have no resale value).

Question: Would you buy a salvage title Scion FRS?

Posted: 26 Oct 2014 06:57 PM PDT

Probably would depend on my primary use of the vehicle as well as what my insurance company says.

What door of this 2 door coupe are we talking about? From personal experience, I know what its like to be hit on my driver's side door while driving. Some dumb Mexican fell asleep behind the wheel and drove into oncoming traffic (he also hit the two cars behind me, the father of the daughter he hit damn near knocked his teeth out). Was at night also. Headlights are coming towards your door all of a sudden.........My God.

Honestly, I'll never feel safe driving a car that's already been hit in the driver's side door before. Again, you didn't specify the door of this two door coupe.............

As for insurance, well, good luck getting full coverage on that salvage branded car. Its one thing if you actually have $14,500 sitting in a bank account and you want to buy a weekend toy, but if you're financing a daily driver through a bank loan, good luck.
