    so in 2 yrs, give son 87 Camry, big old truck or newer car w/ airbags etc?

    The Camry will prob. last another 100K, it's at 146K now, dependable, good mpg, leery of older Chevys I had w/ gas tank behind seat, but cheap to get here, or newer used car w/ more safety features?

    how to stream netflix to tv?

    We've got an Xbox 360 with a network connection - it used to be that you had to pay a fee w/ it for Netflix? Son is bugging me a bout it, and i can't find any hard details. Would be great to have movies streamed directly on our big TV and I've got the CD/mail plan now.

    Home loan question - 20% down or FHA????

    If I do 20% down, that leaves me 5 weeks pay in bank, if I do FHA, will have 9 mos pay in bank. Job is good, been there 5 yrs, no layoffs in sight, I always get 2 mos pay back in tax returns and save 200-500 bucks a month, sometimes more. 20% down would be about $100 - $200 cheaper than Ive...

    87 Camry, new dist., calipers, pads and rotors only 25 mpg vs 27?

    and it feels a bit slower off the line, 4 cyl. 2.0 dohc , auto tranny, is it possible timing is off? They also put new rotors etc on, as the previous pads wore out in 9K, (sticky calipers), I'm maybe thinking rotors dragging or timing off? Dist was cracked and blowing oil all over w/ the...

    FHA or conventional home loan w/ 20% down?

    So my lender says : "If you go with 20% down you’ll get rid of FHA and do conventional, rate will be slightly higher but you’ll have no mortgage insurance. " So my rate will be higher with a lower monthly mortgage payment? My credit score was 650 last I checked a few months ago. And 20% down...
