What do people do when they use a passanger paying drivethru window when they are alone in the car?

At my local chick-fil-a there is a double lane drive-thru system. One lane relies on the driver to pay and recieve the food. The other does the same thing with the passanger side. However, everytime I go, there are always cars with only a driver going through the passanger lane. My question is how do they do it? Do they reach drasically over the side and cause strain on themselves and the server? It baffels me :) I think its very inconsiderate.

How to add my brothers name to my car?

Hi, I have a car financed through Honda and I wanted to add my brother to my car. He is really the one who is paying and driving it. He didn’t have enough credit to get it under his name. Now its been a year, so is there any way possible i could put him as a Co-Owner on this car. I think this might help building his credit as he is fairly young….HELP PLEASE!!!

Why Can’t Car Dealers Just Show The Price On A Used Car?

Very few do.
And I want to know what they are asking.
I know cars (as well as everything else in life) is negotiable.
Some dealers want as much as 4K over retail and then try to hard sell you when you go on their lot.
I just say have a nice day and find a dealer with a more reasonable price and the soft sell approach.
Wouldn’t at least these dealers with a 2K margin have the upper hand even before I’d enter the dealership.
For example, here in the Midwest, I would NEVER go to a Bob Rohrman dealership.
So isn’t it to their advantage to show their asking price up front?

What percentage should a regional Sales Manager be paid in regards to the size of the region? 3%, 5%,10%?

I am a regional sales manager and my base salary with commissions works out to be about 2-3% of what my region is generating.

This seems super duper low to me. I manage approx 3.7 M currently.

What happened to the auto industry bailout?

Bush says he is not bailing them out, but is ging them a loan. What is wrong with this guy? How can he expect them to pay back the loan when we will have a Democrat in office and a Democrat Congress? Aren’t they suppose to just give hand outs to who ever wants them?

What is a fair price to get a car bumper painted?

I am planning to buy a replacement and i need to get it painted. I do not need it color matched, as i have the color code, my car is fairly new, and i would be happy if the bumper was simply the original color. It is for a 2002 nissan sentra. Thanks
i called one place and was quoted $150, seems like a lot.

Do I Have a Legitimate Case Against the Police?

This is a long story so please bear with me. I’m a male in my late 20’s from East Orange NJ. March 20th, around between 9:30 to 10am I was driving my coworker home from our work. She lives in a apartment building. she was suppose to pay me on Friday, being that I brought her in and taken her home all week. Her money was in her car that died, and was located in the parking deck area. She told me to drive in and park by her car so she can get her money and pay me. I proceeded to drive into the parking deck. I drove in, and parked next to her car. As soon as I parked, I seen flashes of light. EOPD cruisers , unmarked cars, and even suv’s rolled into the parking deck. I figured, hmmm maybe their doing a sweep of area. Well they all parked behind my car. The police car closest to me, an officer jumped out with his gun pointed at me and told me to get out of the car. I opened my door, and exited the vehicle. I said whats the problem, I just got off work and I’m dropping off my coworker. At this point several officers had guns aimed at me. Officer said shut up, and lay face down, which i did. While i was face down on the ground I was searched. I was pulled up, then tossed up against my car and searched again. I asked whats the problem, I was calm the whole time. Police officers will not tell me why they are doing this to me. I was thrown into the back seat of a police car, and stayed there for about 40 mins. During that time, officers asked my female coworker questions, they searched my vehicle, took pictures of my vehicle inside and out. Talking on the walkie talkie to someone that to me was at the station. Finally a officer open the door and took me out. He said “Do you know whats going on here?” I said no. Officer told me that a attempted abduction and a **** happened between 6am and 7 something am, that the perp used a vehicle identical to mine, and that I wasi n a location where the **** happened my car fit the description and they pulled me over. So I thought ok, I guess they were doing their job and said fine. One officer smirked and said I”ll be getting pulled over some more. This was a tramatic experience. That Friday night and Saturday night, EOPD gave information to the press to air on the local news stations. On the 10 and 11pm news they state the abduction and **** in East Orange, and stated the locations of the incidents, and said the perp is slim african american, and he was driving this car, now they showed a picture of a cadillac sedan deville body style from 1994-99, if you car people know its the big boxy sedan deville with 4 doors. They showed the car on the news in black with black cloth top, with the cadillac factory rims, which is the same exact car I drive, which is a black 1995 cadillac sedan deville. Now I knew I would be a suspect to people. I still had no choice but to drive my car to and from work, which means I have to drive through East Orange. From monday through Thursday, I was pulled over 2 more times, and harrassed, even though the description of the perp states hes dark. I had civilians curse at me , throw things at my car when I’;m at red lights, and on a night driving to work, I had a pedestrian that tried to from my point of view run me off the road. Now on Thrusday 6 days after the crimes, EOPD have the Star Ledger place a sketch of the subject, BUT!!! also they gave another description of the cadillac. For all those people who knows cars, as I stated before, I have a 1995 black sedan deville, which on friday and saturday March 20,21, EOPD have local news air the story and they showed a black cadillac body style 94-99 which is identical to mine, cloth top black and silver cadillac rims. as the vehicle the perp was using. On the March 26th edition of the Star Ledger the article under the sketch of the subject states, that the subject used a cadillac deville, 2001-2005 model, black, gray interior, GOLD rims, with a tv screen.
