How busy are Christmas basketball games?

I'm planning on attending a Christmas Basketball game, and was wondering if there busy or not... I've watched a few on television and most of the time isn't busy.. The game I might go to is at the Palace of Auburn Hills? How busy are Christmas basketball games?
Nah, it actually isn't that busy SURPRISINGLY.

I went to a Phoenix Vs. Dallas game a while back last December.

And I was surprised it wasn't packed! Especially since it was a rivalry game.



Hope I helped man.How busy are Christmas basketball games?
yeah maybe but with the economic times i dont think so

Detroit fan?

duh the brown guy over their in india who no one has discovered and can beat bryant, james, shaq, carter, nash and all of them "hands down"
Neil- I just like the way he plays.
micheal jordan....and me..
Kobe Bryant is the best basketball player in the planet right now. Capable of shooting from an unlimited range, can pull up and fade back from mid-range at any moment, and can break through double teams to get to the cup at will. His defense is impeccable as he is one of the best defenders in the game. His leadership comes from over 10 years in the league. He wants to win more than anyone else in the world. And when the game is on the line, Kobe takes the game. MVP
which planet? Earth?Mars?Jupiter?Neptune?
im not a huge fan but michael jordan was incredible. the wizards jordan not so much but the bulls had the best player ever. 6 championships that wouldnt of happened without him.the MVP awards and all-star appereances.creating a great player in scottie pippen who is nothing without michael. the last second shots and shocking juke moves. no doubt he was the greatest
me %26amp; Lebron

all the way
michael jordan, do the research
Best player to play basketball, has to be Michael Jordan. People you guys need to learn some basketball-know-how! jesus... Kobe hasn't even had the best career out of all the Lakers players. Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul Jabaar, Wilt Chamberlain... the list goes on... Jerry West, James Worthy... all of these guys have made more impacts on the Lakers for championships! and those are what count!!! Michael led a Chicago team in an era where defense mattered WITHOUT a quality center for many years, MJ got Rodman after a looong time but it took them awhile I'll say! Michael Jordan won championships without a dominate center, Kobe had Shaq and he still stunk in his first three years... MJ averaged stats Kobe is finally achieving now when he was 23! So he was a better statistical player.. lets put it simple:





Stats: Michael Jordan wins... by a lot...



Heart: Has anyone ever heard how competitve Jordan is??! He once played a teammate in ping pong, he kept getting beaten by this player, he tried again and again and again, until he won. And another story from his college days was when his coach during a scrimmage saw that his team was dominating 9-1 in a first to 10 game he switched him over. Jordan was so angry, but he brought his team back and won. These are only small examples of his competitveness and heart.



Championships: Michael Jordan



Awards: Michael Jordan



Better cast: Kobe Bryant



Putting Scotte Pippen and Rodman on the Bulls was a great move by Krause, but they aren't enough to compare to Pau Gasol, Andrew Bynum, Lamaar Odom, and Derek Fisher. Lets face it folks, Michael Jordan is still the king.



Edit: Scottie was SOMETHING without Jordan! He led the Bulls to a decent season.. Now I think of it he led them to similiar seasons Kobe has led the Lakers to when Shaq left... interesting thought...
Michael Jordan
People, people learn some basketball.



michael jordan is NOT the greatest b-ball player in the planet. Bill Russell is.



Bill Russell: 5 MVP's, 11 rings, 1 NCAA MOP, 2 NCAA titles



Michael Jordan: 5 MVP's, 6 rings, 0 NCAA MOP, 1* NCAA title



* As a Robert Horry-role player to James Worthy, the leader and star player of the '82 UNC champions and the '82 NCAA MOP.



Bill Russell has MORE heart/will to win than Michael Jordan because he was able to maintain his championship run far longer. Russ was champion 11 times in 12 finals appearance in 13 years. Back in college, he lead his no name school to a 55 game winning streak and back to back rings. Consistency and determination to win is russell's hallmark and not Jordan.



Championship: I suggest doing research next time. Russell's 11 %26gt;%26gt; Jordan's 6.



Awards: Half of the awards and stats in Jordan's time DONT EXIST during Russell's time. ESPY awards dont exist in the 60's. Finals MVP and DPoY were awarded only during his last season. Steals and blocks were not counted during Russell's time.
it used to be michael jordan.

but kobe bryant's the new michael jordan, and more.

just give him time.

kobe'll be able to beat the famous basketball legend.

we all know that.

  • For halloween would a basketball player with a joker face be good?

    i did not want to be the joker specifically because everyone else wants to be the joker. but then i went into party city and saw the face paint and i was like, okay im the joker.



    basically my plan is jersey, shorts, fake basketball tattoos, wrist bands headbands, big *** diamond studs and joker face ( a really good job though)



    any ideas to make it better?For halloween would a basketball player with a joker face be good?
    Maybe try a mask instead of the paint!



    A few over here like http://www.costumestudio.com/products/batman-dark-knight-adult-joker-34-vinyl-mask



    pretty affordable at $20 and they have some $60 joker masks which look good too

  • What can I do to make School Basketball team?

    I am athletic, but I have never made the basketball team for my middle school and its my last year as an 8th grader. I am not a huge scorer. Probally like 8 points a game and my ball handling isn't so spectacular but it's decent and I am guard. What can I do to help make basketball team?What can I do to make School Basketball team?
    Play hard, play defense, play solidly, don't rush your offence. Let the game come to you, but don't shy away.
    Focus on ball-handling/driving or shooting in open space. Definitely go to open gyms or individual work-outs. Don't be complacent. Make sure the coaches know who you are and know what you're about.



    For an example there's usually a hundred freshmen that try out at my school. And there's thirteen that fourteen that make the A team and usually 11 that make the B team. This year seven kids are going to the open-gyms, meetings, etc. Those are the kids that will make it for sure even if they're not great.What can I do to make School Basketball team?
    i remember the days in middle school, if you want to make it, play defense and make all your lay ups, left and right, coaches don't care for shots because its middle school, but if you hit a couple your chances increases. im on Jv for my high school team and its try outs were alot harder. Idk if your school does this but my coach made us run 25 suicides during tryouts. Good luck and dont give up
    ik wat u mean i really want to make the team for my school this year. Its the first year im old enough to tryout. ive been playing my whole life though. im just worried i wont make the team because im so slow. dont worry u will definetly make the team this yearWhat can I do to make School Basketball team?
    Work hard during the tryout, and practice outside of the tryout, go to open gyms etc.

    And be vocal at the tryouts, coaches like players who are vocal and play defense.
    Depends on how much better other people are than you. Just work on it, practice practice practice....and yeah.
    be aggressive. practice things that might throw off your defender. like crossovers and stuff. just practice shooting too.
    focus on improving all your weakness and maintain your strong points

  • How do I prevent blisters on my feet when I play basketball?

    I have been playing a lot of basketball lately and Ive noticed that after a few days in a row i cant really play because of the blisters that form. I have proper shoes and my shoes fit very well but still blisters always form. Any advice? (sorry if the question was a little gross)How do I prevent blisters on my feet when I play basketball?
    Your feet are sweating and the heat from your body and the friction in the shoes is causing the sweat, which is 90% water, to heat up enough to burn the soles of your feet. Wear socks to absorb the sweat, and put a little corn starch or foot powder in your shoes to absorb some of the sweat.

    What is a good song for warming up to before a basketball game?

    I don't clearly understand the USA law can anyone help me with these 2 cases..?

    Bob, a resident of Ohio, while driving on the freeway, hits Mark, a resident of Michigan, and totally destroys Mark's brand new Mercedes Benz. Mark may bring suit in federal district court:



    1- because of federal question jurisdiction, OR because there is always federal jurisdiction if there is diversity of citizenship, OR if the amount in controversy is over $75,000, OR if the accident occurred outside of Ohio or Michigan.



    The second Case





    Fred doesn't like having neighborhood teenagers walk across his yard at night. He rigs an animal trap on the path the teenagers usually use to cross his land. One night, Rock and his friends are walking across the yard when Rock gets caught in the trap. He is taken to the hospital for his injuries.



    A. Rock is a trespasser on Fred's property and therefore Fred has the right to strongly discourage anyone from trespassing.



    B. Fred has no duty toward Rock.



    C. Fred is not free to inflict intentional injury on a trespasser.



    D. All of the above.I don't clearly understand the USA law can anyone help me with these 2 cases..?
    I'll help you out with the second case: D. Fred is not free to inflict intentional injury on a trespasser. Force can only be used, and only the reasonable amount necessary, to protect life and property when there is clear and imminent threat of death or great bodily harm. If someone is simply cutting across the yard, the intent of the trespasser is not to cause harm, therefore the requirement of imminent death or great bodily harm is not met. The property owner is then subject to criminal prosecution and possibly civil litigation. The expectation of the law is that a reasonable person would either: 1. Call the police or 2. Place the trespasser under private person's (citizen's) arrest and then remand the trespasser immediately to the custody of a law enforcement officer. I think that in this case the most reasonable route would be to call the police - the liability and effort to effect a private person's arrest on a teenager who is only being lazy is too great, call the police and have them go out and speak to the parents.



    Hope this helps!I don't clearly understand the USA law can anyone help me with these 2 cases..?
    1. The insurance companies will settle it but since it went over state line it can be federal.



    2. Nobody is allowed to put a trap in their yard even know it is their property. He can call the police, or put up a fence, but a trap is illigal.

    This is funny. Every single company has a big fat lobbyist associated with it. maybe it is a GOOD thing that his sponsors are leaving his program.
    Because they don't want to be hassled by John Podesta, Van Jones, Jim Wallis, or anyone of the numerous George Soros organizations.Why do American Businesses refuse to assocaite themselves with Glenn Beck?
    Probably because he changes his stance on issues more than you change your underwear.
    And yet the man's popularity continues to rise. How about list Air America's sponsors. Oh wait...



    LOL!!!Why do American Businesses refuse to assocaite themselves with Glenn Beck?
    The same reason you don't see Farrakhan doing commercials for Coca Cola.
    Two words... Snake oil.
    CAUSE GLEN BECK IS A FAT LIAR
    It's really hurting him isn't it.

    So the fu-- what, at least he has a top rated show

    I'd love to see the list that wouldn't even think about advertising on

    Madchow or Olberwoman
    they're following the crowd although I don't like Glenn Beck much
    It's bad marketing to associate your product with a very polarizing opinion, no matter what it may be. Advertisers don't want to alienate anyone. If you listen to Fox News on XM radio you'll find that all the ads are targeted specifically at older business owners, usually male. Commercials tend be for gold, small business loans, IRS issues, prostate cancer and macular degeneration. I'd be very surprised if I ever heard a commercial on there for the new album by Ke$ha, you know?

    Why are gasoline prices such a mystery to Americans?

    I was talking with my girlfriend's parents this weekend. They asked me quite honestly, why gas prices have gone up so much? "Are we running out of oil?" they asked. I told them that as long as there are enough people in China and India who are willing to pay four or more dollars a gallon for gasoline, the world price would rise to that level, and no reasonable supply increase will make a material dent in the price. They looked at me with strange, puzzled looks. "Ok, let me put this another way: When you go to Target or Mervins and buy cheap clothes and shoes made in China and India, you're supporting a business in those far away places, and taking a job away from someone in the USA. We've all been doing this for SO MANY YEARS now that the economies in these distant places have matured, and now those people have as much, or more buying power than we do. We did it to ourselves!" Mercedes Benz in Germany announced they have more luxury car buyers in China than the US! No joke!Why are gasoline prices such a mystery to Americans?
    Because you yourself are such a shining beacon of wisdom and knowledge that the rest of the world just can't keep up.
    True. But in some places the price of gas is $8 or higher thanks to taxs because countries are trying to get people to use more energy efficient cars and less often. I think the US should do this b/c the money is only going to help our schools and what not and we wont all die thanks to global warming.Why are gasoline prices such a mystery to Americans?
    Yeah, it's very interesting to hear people talk about gas prices in the U.S.. Even a diff. of a couple cents will raise discussion.



    In other countries, gas prices have been much more expensive than in the U.S. for years past.. Americans really have no right to complain if they want to drive around in Escalades and Hummers
    Actually the price of oil is going up in the US higher than the rest of the world. FX rates have a lot to do with this.



    Here is a well written article that explains it.



    http://www.mees.com/postedarticles/oped/鈥?/a>Why are gasoline prices such a mystery to Americans?
    So, from a single conversation with your girlfriend's parents, you concluded that gasoline prices are a mystery to all Americans? Every single American? Based upon this sampling of two?
    That's right. I try to find clothes made in the U.S.A. and I can't find any.I feel betrayed when i pay up the ying yang for clothes made in China.
    It all around war and profit, you have much to learn about if you don't know this.
    we went to iraq to take over their oil use it all up war inflation..we have plenty of oil available...just a way to make the right peopple rich (government) and the poor people poorer (society)
    'scuse me.....Im gonna return to the tv and watch something with some substance after that......like, Leave it to Beaver!
    Really. I agree, most Americans are in denial. I actually know someone that said we should print more money (and they work for a bank!)...um, that would make gas MORE expensive, cause our dollar value is already in decline. And we haven't been pumping much domestic oil!!

    About luxury cars in China...98% of the top 2% of weathiest Americans drive used cars, so having new things doesn't impress me. I have excellent credit, my own house and money in the bank because I don't blow money like my neighbors do.

    BTW, I shop at the Salvation Army not because I'm poor, but so my money goes back into my community and NOT to a sweatshop in Bangledesh or somewhere. Honestly, I don't think anyone notices---a black skirt is a black skirt, no matter where you buy it.
    cuz the president keeps the war and

    we get gas from iraq

    and

    the ppl there r mad

    so he went over 2 iraq

    cuz we didnt get alot of gas

    sooo he made the prices go up cuz we just had

    2 have more gas

    (idky)

    they keep raising the prices in iraq that means they have 2 raise the prices

    here so they can make the profits

    i think its all the presidents fault

    cuz of the war

    i think that republicans(idk how 2 spell)

    cshould think about how the war is making

    the usa worse

    ps. most of this was in a sarcastic voice
    its not a mystery. people just like to complain a lot. the thing is the dollar has a new value. like in the old days 5 dollars was A LOT of money to them. now its different. oil is in high demand. and it takes a lot to pump it out. but remember their are other things we can use if we do run out. remember the electric car?
    It's admirable that you're interested in economics and how one country's economy affects another country. I'd like to suggest some other ideas about economics that might interest you.



    Concerning gas prices: you might be surprised to know how much in the way of taxation is included in the price of gas. This type of taxation is called Value-Added Tax (VAT), which is a hidden tax that is not revealed to the customer. You can drive from one county to another and pay lots less in one county and lots more in the other.



    I don't exactly know what you mean by "we have done it to ourselves." The price of gas in Europe, for instance, is much higher than it is in the US. Their high cost of gas does not cause our cost of gas to go up. Often you will find that much of their cost of gas is made up of hidden taxes.



    The US has a vibrant economy, even when it slows down. Our economy is certainly more robust than Europe's. You mention Germany. I visited there and learned that they're having a terrible time with their economy, ever since East Germany merged with West Germany. The West Germans (who have been living in a free-market economy for decades) were seeing higher and higher taxes on them, to compensate for the stagnant economy of East Germany (which had been living in a Soviet-Union non-free economy).



    As to China's economy, do you think you would be better off living in China? Do they offer the freedoms you expect from a free-market economy? Freedom of speech, for instance?



    If Mercedes Benz is selling more "luxury cars" in China than it is in the US, I would like to have them define a "luxury car." When I was in Germany, I saw all different-priced cars, as well as trucks, that were made by Mercedes-Benz. It's also possible that "luxury cars" selling best in the US are made by other manufacturers who do a better job of designing and pricing their cars for the US market.



    As for jobs overseas, many times US companies outsource to countries with lagging economies. The US companies gain in that workers in these countries will work for less (since the salary is high to them) and the US companies can pass along their savings by charging a lower price for their products. The customer gains from these lower prices.



    Those in other countries with slow economies gain, because the salaries that US companies will pay are higher than the salaries that companies in their own countries will pay.



    I haven't heard the expression "global economy" in a while. But the term well describes how companies handle various areas of their business. We aren't giving away jobs. We are simply offering citizens of other countries a chance to participate in the US economy. People in the US are living and working in the global economy. People in other countries are also living and working in the global economy. It benefits us all for people all over the world to earn more and increase their standards of living.



    Quite often people make the mistake of comparing today's prices with those of the past. However, one has to take into consideration the effects of inflation. Over time, money loses value. What cost a nickel in 1950 may now cost ten or twenty dollars. However, balancing out the loss in purchasing power of the dollar, salaries have risen. A job that paid $3,000/yr. in 1970 may now pay $12,000 to $25,000/yr. or more today (estimates as salaries vary from location to location).



    All of these factors need to be taken into account when considering the US economy, as well as the economies of other countries.



    I think that you might want to consider these issues on your own. It may be that your ideas have been shaped by the ideas of your parents, your schoolmates, your teachers or one-sided media outlets. It's always a good idea to consider many views of how an economy works. I would recommend to you the writings of Thomas Sowell (pronounced Soo-el), an economist, author and fellow at the Stanford Hoover Institute, who writes about economics in plain simple terms. He has a syndicated column and so should be easy to find online. Another easy-to-follow economist is Walter Williams, who is a professor of economics at George Mason University. He also has a syndicated column that you should be able to access online. (It's purely a coincidence that both of these economists happen to be African-Americans.)



    Just some ideas to consider.

    VWAG/Porsche just look at those beautiful cars, affordable to hyperexotic! Question: where the hell is italy: fiat, alfa romeo, ferrari, maserati. pagani. Also what happened to Koenigsegg and Volvo!
    In terms of reliability and quality-Japan



    In terms of Performance and quality-German



    In terms of price-American.Which country(of these) makes the best cars?
    japanese and european r best
    It all relates to what the buyer likes, ie.

    Kei car or Crossover?

    Take Italy. Ferrari (Fiat), Lambo (VW). A Freind of mine's mom used to own a Fiat Cinquecento, that's smaller than a Matchbox car, fyi. The new F430 is outclassed by the newest Vette.

    90% of the "supercar" companies are Italian, but all are out done. Chevy beats Ferrari. Lambos are really Audis. Volvos, Jags, and Mazdas are all really FORDs!!!!! 3 countries-1 company. Lexus and Toyotas (Japenese) are US made.Which country(of these) makes the best cars?
    Short answer is Germany

  • What if a Canadian is pulled over in Alabama?

    I've been watching a lot of news stories about Alabama's "papers please" laws, including the story this week about the Mercedes Benz executive who was arrested.



    The reason I ask specifically about Canada is because Canadians are the only nationality (that I'm aware of) that do not receive any stamps or immigration documentation (like an I-94) upon entry into the USA.



    So, if at one of these "license checks" in Alabama a Canadian is pulled over and they show their Canadian driver's license, then what? The officer asks to see their passport and any immigration documents. Well, guess what, there's no stamp or any immigration documents to be found. How does the officer confirm immigration status? He can't!



    So then what? Does the officer proceed to arrest the Canadian even though they probably entered legally? Even if they contact ICE, they probably won't be able to actually confirm that the Canadian is legal since no entry documents were ever issued.What if a Canadian is pulled over in Alabama?
    Their drivers license is all they need. They are not going to be asked for anything else and certainly not arrested.
    He doesn't need to prove immigration status because you are not immigrating, you are visiting.

    The law is for people who claim to live in Alabama (or in the US in general) and they have a US drivers license but nothing to show they are legally entitled to it such as some document of US citizenship or a US visa to show they are lawfully LIVING in the US.

    As you are showing a Canadian drivers license and you are claiming to be a visitor you are not LIVING in the US and don't need to have immigration papers. The passport or enhanced drivers license you showed when entering the US will do just fine.What if a Canadian is pulled over in Alabama?
    It won't be a problem because the US requires that all Canadians have a passport to enter the country. Americans to re-enter too btw.



    -it's kind of funny since I just looked it up the other day. Canada will allow me to enter their country with just a Birth Certificate or equivalent but I cannot get back into the US with anything but a passport.
    It takes second to check your passport with ICE, and your entry was recorded. This is not an issue.



    Besides, unless you are Hispanic looking, they will not pull you over.



    If it worries you, don't go to Alabama (probably a good plan at the best of time)What if a Canadian is pulled over in Alabama?
    The drivers license is all they need so your concerns are needless and without merit.
    Please don`t judge the US on Al`Abama dated fears and actions. We have a generation problem in the US right now.
    The hang him in Texas
    There is no provision in the law which says that the ID must be a stamped passport, a passport, or that it is in anyway verifiable by the police officer. A Canadian could hand the police officer an unstamped passport, a passport card, a NEXUS pass, or an enhanced driver's license -- or a US green card or student visa. Nothing in the law says that the police officer has to call border services and see that the passport (NEXUS, or EDL) was scanned within the last 180 days -- anymore than the law requires them to contact border services and check that a stamp was real or the State Department to see if a green card is real.



    Yes, he could call border services and they would tell him to the best of their ability. All passports, NEXUS, and EDL are scanned upon entering the country. Canadian border services shares their scanning information with the US, so US border services usually know exactly how long you've been in the country. However, this is not 100% reliable. With millions of crossings each day, either side could forget to scan it, people could enter with a NEXUS and leave with a passport, they could have multiple passports, they could leave through a third country (which doesn't share information with the US), etc. It is generally so unreliable, that INS almost never follows up on Canadian visa overstays flagged by their computers.



    I travel to the United States fairly often -- including Arizona. Yes... if pulled over the police officer has to make a call whether the documentation provided is legitimate. Yes... my passport won't have a stamp. However, I can provide any number of things which show I'm a tourist or there on business -- hotel reservations, return plane tickets, my address in Canada, my credit cards receipts, names of US businesses I'm visiting, my insurance information, my IMAX pass, etc., etc. If the officer really thinks I'm living or working illegally in the country, I'm happy proofing that I live in Canada and will be returning there.



    In the case of the Germany executive... he didn't have license plates, he didn't have his passport with him, and he didn't have insurance. They let him call a friend to bring him his passport and they let him go once he did. It wouldn't occur to me that I wouldn't be taken to the police station in such a situation. And have no doubt that an American found in Canada in a similar situation would be detained... not necessarily for failing to produce a passport, but driving without license plates or insurance carry such high fines that the police will likely hold you pending proof you can pay them.

  • In F1 what would happen if...?

    What would happen if say Force India, Brawn or McLAren had used all but one of their Allocated engine allowance then due to the economic conditions Mercedes Benz went bust (although a large company like that going bust is very small, because in Germany it will just be nationalized like GM was in USA and the government will save it, but if) MB could not produce any more engines, what would happen, would they have to renegotiate engine deals, would the allocated engines start from 0 again due to completely new engines. I presume MB have all the engines ready though? MB was just an example could "easily" happen with Red Bull renault??In F1 what would happen if...?

    Tire chains for trip to Lake Tahoe?

    I'm going to Lake Tahoe (USA, California) this weekend and I've heard that there are 4 inches of snow. I'm driving 5 people plus luggage in my Mercedes-Benz sedan. What's the best way to go about doing the whole tire chain thing? I don't go up to the snow enough, I think, to necessitate me buying my own chains, but is that more affordable than getting them fitted once I'm near Tahoe by one of those professional booths? How much are chains, and how much is it to get them put on once I'm near the snow?



    Thanks a lot!Tire chains for trip to Lake Tahoe?
    the chains can run from $75 - $200 depending on the size you need, usually you can get them installed for around $30, have fun on your trip/

    Lol, well first: stop being so judgemental.



    To your comments:

    -He is entitled to his opinions.

    -Again, opinions.

    -Who are you to say what car to drive? A "real" man is someone who treats women (and others) with respect.

    -Stereotyping wont get you anywhere.

    -Why do you care how he dresses?

    -Again, entitled to their own opinions. And using gay as an insult doesn't get you anywhere.

    -From what you say, you seem like an asshole. I bet your daughter still loves you.

    -Well, it is similar. Both groups were torchered and many died.



    You're a fool. Really. I'm so glad that your daughter is able to ignore you and do what she wants. I'm glad she wasn't tricked into your small minded world.

  • Why do Toyota models made in europe tend to look alot like European cars?

    Same as Toyota models thats made in the usa tend to look like American cars. Also having European/ American features on their cars that Toyota doesn't use on their official cars (ones made in Japan). This not just Toyota..but so is other car makes!

    Like they do it to fit the environment!



    ex: the Toyota corolla model that sales in Europe has european features than the one thats sold in usa. Normally toyota puts a light inside of the sliding door on the sun visor...but the European corolla has the sun visor light on the ceiling just like mercedes- benz has!Why do Toyota models made in europe tend to look alot like European cars?
    To appeal to the European buyers. If they introduce their personal style right away, it might get rejected but if they ease their way in, they have room to play with the market.



    For example, they were looking pretty bland for a while, now look what they have out. The Camry looks cool in a Japanese way and the Yaris looks like a crustacean.Why do Toyota models made in europe tend to look alot like European cars?
    because it was made in europe...

  • Is this a scam? Yahoo Finance?

    Okay so I was on Edmunds.com(a website where you can find cars being sold near you) and I found a Mercedes-Benz for $4,750. Its a 2007 and I know it sounds wayyyy too good to be truee. I texted the number and it was a fake, so i emailed asking about it and i then he/she replied:



    "I'm sorry for this late answer but I'm working for the US airlines I'm taking classes for a month to improve my work in United Kingdom.The final price for this 2007 Mercedes-Benz E350 is $4,750.This Audi has 71,000 original miles on it and Will come with clear title and all the documents. The car is in perfect condition with no damage on it. Due my work I would prefer to use Yahoo Finance for this transaction.In order to have the transaction started I will need your full name and address where you want the car to be shipped.If you have any other questions please feel free to contact me and I will answer when my schedule will allow me."



    I replied to the email by saying:

    "So everything will be done over the internet? I would like to check out the car in person though. The website stated that your in Pomona, which is fairly close to me. I can wait until you come back then, so I could check it out and actually do the transaction in person. It's not for any specific reason, just based on the fact that it makes me uneasy over the internet. But thank youu(:

    My number is ### ### #### for when you come back, please and thank you(:"



    then i talked to my mom(im getting my first car) and i sent another message saying:

    "Okay, so I've thought about doing it through Yahoo Finance, but I've never done any transactions through the internet. I've heard so much about online transactions through the internet being scams, so I would not like to fall into another one of those schemes. If I do decide to do it through the internet with you, how is it going to happen?"



    and right now he/she replied:

    "Hello,

    I am sorry but the pick up and the test drive are not available because I am not in the country.As I told you in my first e-mail, I am in United Kingdom. Before leaving I had prearranged the deal with Yahoo Finance so my presence isn't necessary. The car is at the shipping company in USA, ready to be delivered. The shipping cost is included in the total price of the car! You have 5 days to test it and inspect the car.So if you want to make this deal I need the following details from you:full name and address,shipping address,phone #

    After I will have all this details I will forward them to Yahoo Finance and I will proceed the order. Yahoo Finance will contact you with all the details that you need to complete this deal and also to see that I am covered by them and that I am legit seller. Waiting your email with the requested details.

    Thank you"







    I havent replied yet, buttt.



    Is this a scam!????!!!Is this a scam? Yahoo Finance?
    For detail please visit:



    http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/finance鈥?/a>



    Rest here is your answer



    Yahoo! Finance does NOT offer any of the following services:



    * The ability to pay bills directly through Yahoo! (Our Billpay service was discontinued in July of 2007)

    * Provide wire transfer or escrow services.

    * Act as an intermediary for online or other transactions.

    * Serve as a transaction guarantee service.



    Note: If you have had any correspondence with someone claiming that Yahoo! does, in fact, provide some of the services listed above, please see the following resources where such fraud can be reported.



    If you think you may be a victim of fraud, you may contact the Internet Fraud Complaint Center, your local postal inspector and/or the Federal Trade Commission at:



    * Internet Crime Complaint Center

    * United States Postal Inspection Services

    * Federal Trade Commission



    It may also be appropriate to contact your local law enforcement officials (through a non-emergency number.)



    More information on fraud can be found at National Internet Fraud Watch Information Center.



    Here is the list of services that Yahoo! Finance offers:



    * The ability to keep track of stock portfolio through My Portfolios.

    * The ability to track a transactional portfolio or $Cashline through My Portfolios.

    * The ability to watch a specific stock or security on a real-time basis.

    * Access to lots of financial information through our many financial partners.

    * Through our Yahoo! Finance Real-Time Quotes subscription service, you can have access to MarketTracker and other Yahoo! Premium services.

    * Provide Personal Finance tools such as calculators, expert opinion, and a financial glossary.

    * Provide information and quotes for foreign markets.





    In the event you are in need of assistance with financial terminology, please see Yahoo!'s financial glossary.Is this a scam? Yahoo Finance?
    SCAM - Yahoo offers NO such service. Yahoo Finance reports on stocks and financial news, they DO NOT handle payments



    Just look at the Yahoo Finance page - if they offered any such services don't you think it would be right there on the homepage? http://finance.yahoo.com/



    NEVER EVER EVER EVER agree to buy any car that you cannot see in person, test drive, and verify the seller's driver's license is the same name as on the title for ANY reason. Either there is NO car, like in this case (it's a Nigerian scam to steal $4750 with NO way to get it back) or it's a thief reselling a stolen car, and when you go to register it, your car is confiscated and you are investigated as that car was reported stolen - and again you have no way to get your money back as you have NO idea who the person was who sold you the car since you didn't check their IDIs this a scam? Yahoo Finance?
    Yes its a scam and a bad one at that. Yahoo Finance is only so you can track the performance of the stocks. I used it to communicate with my broker but it isnt possible to make transactions on it. Never agree to buy anything that you cant see or touch in person. It was good of you to ask someone about this before going through with it. I would suggest getting a small compact car that is cheap on gas and insurance for your first car rather then something like a Mercedes that is a pain on your wallet if it breaks down. Look on Auto trader or a website like that and you will find a good deal, also avoid dealers as that is a whole scam in itself. Good Luck!!
    It's a scam,



    Please read this forum http://www.scamwarners.com/forum/viewfor鈥?/a>



    The giveaway line in your emails from this person is "Due my work I would prefer to use Yahoo Finance for this transaction."



    If you google this sentence, it has 31,000 results, all related to scams.



    Plus the rest of the email is standard scam script.



    There is no Yahoo Finance, just a fake website set up by the lads to fool people.



    Please ignore and don't bother answering any more emails from this person, you will lose your money.



    If you can't find a vehicle close to you, with a physical address, and actually see and touch it, and meet face to face, it will be a scam.



    Good luck.

    I feel like I am trapped?

    If I stay married to my wife, I will be unhappy and if I get a divorce I will still be unhappy because all of the financial stuff and the bs males have to deal with when getting a divorce. She doesn't have a job so in the case of a divorce most of my money would go to her and she doesn't even deserve it. She treats me like a slave. Here are the issues I have with her:



    1) She doesn't contribute to the household. She chills at home, hangs out with her friends and shops. I work 60-70 hours a week(mostly on the higher end) and she expects me to cook and clean when I get home. Our kids go to school so she has plenty of time to clean and cook while the kids are gone. It's not that hard. I want to relax a little when I get home, because when I get home I only have 3 hours before I have to go to sleep. Also I am a manager so I get yelled at a lot at work, it's frustrating. When someone messes up, I always get blamed. It's very stressing. When I'm home, I just want to watch TV and spend time with friends.



    2) She doesn't care about anything I care about. If I want her to come to a reunion of my college basketball team, "it's lame" but when she want's something she expects me to go with her. If I want something "it's lame" but when she wants something, I am a bad husband if I don't go with her.



    3) She thinks money falls on my lap, which is not true at all. I am a manager for Mercedes-Benz, there is nothing easy about that. I have a PhD and I work hard for the money I earn. When Mercedes-Benz wants something, they mean business. She doesn't get that though. Just because I have a office job, she thinks it's easy. Barack Obama technically has a office job, it's not easy though.



    4) Everything in general is about her. She can complain all day but when I complain for a second, she says "Grow a pair and be a man"



    5) She is very unsupportive.



    6) She wasn't always like this. She used to be nice and sweet. She turned into a devil after we got married.



    7) She drinks a lot. She drinks one bottle of wine everyday.



    I want to get a divorce so bad but than I lose a lot of money. I lose either way, I don't know what to do. The divorce laws are so unfair in USA. Females win either way. I thought males and females were equal? Yeah right.I feel like I am trapped?
    Have her sign a contract ASAP that if you and her split, she gets no money as you earned it. Once she has signed it..wait a while and then divorce her. Make sure she has no clue that you want to or she wont sign. Tell her that you earned the money and so you get it.



    She should contribute, in fact do basically all of it as she does not work. This defeats the purpose of women rights. If I was in her shoes, I would get a great career and contribute to the house hold chores.



    Get a good lawyer and tell them what you want.

    Republicans: What's wrong with mediocracy?

    I just compared the USA's wages to Australias. And Australia's government is run under the Australian Labor Party which is democractic Socialist. And Australia has far, far lower levels of income inequality than the USA. And the USA has the highest levels of income inequality in the world.



    A garbage man in Australia gets paid AU$100,000 per year (Which is like US$93,000), the average miner gets AU$150,000, whilst the average CEO in Australia only gets $120,000 per year.



    And in the USA, a miner doesnt even get paid half that wage.



    http://content.mycareer.com.au/salary-ce鈥?/a>



    And the average Australian salary overall is $91,000.



    But I got comments saying all Australians are mediocre because of that, But whats so wrong with mediocrity?



    If that means sacrificing a tiny, tiny, tiny chance that I might be extremely, obscenely wealthy like some people are in the USA. And own islands and private jets. Then Im totally fine with that.



    There's 401 billionaires in the USA, thats just crazy, Would you rather 1 billionaire or a 1000 millionaires?



    So much of the wealth in the USA is concentrated among a few people.



    I also read this comment:



    ______________________________________鈥?br>
    "I'd rather have what the free market dictates. The fact that AU has a trash man making as much as a CEO says a lot about why AU doesn't lead the world in anything. You are all mediocre.



    By the way, the middle-class in the US votes overwhelmingly Republican. Do you know why? Because Americans are an aspirational people. They don't settle for mediocrity like Australians."

    ______________________________________鈥?br>




    I just want an $100k salary, a mercedes benz, a modern apartment in the city, and a comfortable life and go out every weekend. Whats wrong with mediocracy?



    Would I really sacrifice that so that I have a really, really small chance that I might become obscenely wealthy??Republicans: What's wrong with mediocracy?
    good to find one happy aussie...
    A better question to have asked is, "What's good about mediocrity?"Republicans: What's wrong with mediocracy?
    The USA is not Australia. We love you guys but we don't love your government. Nor ours for that matter.
    yeah but you guys spend all your money on kangaroo insurance.Republicans: What's wrong with mediocracy?
    Nothing's wrong with mediocrity for Australians if that's what they want. It's just not what we want and that goes for Democrats and Republicans.
    Whose money pays that garbage man?



    Yours.



    I think if you didn't do well enough in school, or did not pursue higher education you should not be earning almost as much as a Doctor.



    Undeserved pay encourages you to do the minimum for yourself rather than reach your [potential.



    Don't they have anything worthwhile to talk about in Aus? Why are you constantly sticking your nose in OUR politics?



    Want to make this place more like yours? WHY?



    If I wanted to live like an Australian, I'd move there.



    P.S. I was there for work and I HATED it.

  • Foriegn car makers?

    Does foreign makes that have models made in the us...have to sign an agreement with one of the American auto makes to take over that model

    I've notice that every foreign car make that has a model manufactured in usa....tends to look like on of an American model. Like for example Toyota Camry looks like the Pontiac sedan....Mercedes- Benz M-Class....Saturn vue.Foriegn car makers?
    Hmmm



    Funny you should mention that



    I have a Picture here of a Chevy Cavalier with TOYOTA badging on it....

    http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v621/m鈥?/a>



    and here...look closely at the steering wheel....

    http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v621/m鈥?/a>Foriegn car makers?
    Well alot of car makes are some how affiliated with USA makes...



    Like ford and mercury have very similair cars...



    ...Just like Chevrolet and GMC even though theyre USA

    Stay tuned for more Pros!?

    If Ford was the first to make an automobile...than why is it not the best in the world...better than mercedes-benz???



    And why is Audi/Volkswagon and Hyundai/kia the only two auto makers that doesn't have any plants in the usa...or models made here. (Not including ultra luxury models) only everyday cars!?!Stay tuned for more Pros!?
    There were at least 100 cars before Ford came out.

    Henry Ford made the first mass produced car and the first assembly line.

    The first car was invented 200 years before Ford. It was invented by a French man named Joseph Cugnot and it was powered by a Steam engine. Jay Leno owns most steam powered cars.

    The first gas powered car was invented over 50 years before Ford. It was invented by Karl Benz(Mercedes-Benz). He invented the gas engine.

    The Ford Model T used a German made engine since Henry Ford did not know much about making engines.



    It is cheaper for VW/Audi and Hyundai/Kia to build their cars elsewhere. The plants are in Mexico where labor is cheap. That is why Hyundai/Kia's are very cheap. They are cheaper to make than other cars.Stay tuned for more Pros!?
    Ford might have been first to mass produce, but Mercedes will always be better because the germans like to perfect things and make it better. As for the Audi/VW Hyundai Kia thing they are just sticking to there roots. Might be cheaper to make cars in Korea or more qualified workers in Germany. I'm sure they have their reasons.

  • IF the world was going to end and you HAD to SAVE 10 countries which 10 countries would u save?

    and WHY?



    for me its

    3.China - decent stuff at cheap prices, Pandas, chinese food

    4.Korea - Samsung, LG Electronics

    what are ur top 10?IF the world was going to end and you HAD to SAVE 10 countries which 10 countries would u save?
    I don't like the question - the idea of choosing who lives or dies.



    So why did I answer it? Well, it is intriguing - very much so.



    I would want to save the institutions of Western Civilization, because I think they provide the most freedom, prosperity and capacity for tolerance of all. America, England, Israel, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, France, Germany, Canada, India.



    Again, a very arbitrary list.



    Losing any civilization would be an incalculable loss.



    I wish we could all get along . . .
    1 usa

    2 England

    3 Scotland

    8 Australia

    9 Russia

    10 SpainIF the world was going to end and you HAD to SAVE 10 countries which 10 countries would u save?

    I take it from this list that you are a moneytheist.



    1) USA

    2) Israel

    3) UK

    4) Australia

    5) Japan

    6) S Korea

    Beyond these I'm not sure. These are the countries (in order) that we know we can trust to be on our side when things hit the fan.IF the world was going to end and you HAD to SAVE 10 countries which 10 countries would u save?
    I would only save island countries even if there are not ten of them.



    That way we never have to fight again.

    Mexico, Cuba, Haiti, Dominican Republic, Ethiopia, Somalia, Philipines, Viet Nam, and Pakistan.



    Then the USA so that all of their refugees would have a place to go.

    Ok my birthday is on July 3rd and I turn 16 then :)) My dad's gonna take me car shopping that day so I was wondering if these would be a good car for me. By the way the price tag doesn't matter much because I want a high quality sports car!



    Anyways which car should I get ???



    Mercedes-Benz 2009 CLK550 Cabriolet

    Thanks a bunches! 10 points goes to the best answer!Do you think this is a good car for a 16 year old girl ?? {easy 10 points}?
    Mercedes-Benz are great cars, they are reliable and safe. Me persoally i like the Mercedes-Benz cls550. it is a luxurious car that can basically drive itself. Both Mercedes can seat more than two people which is always a good thing. But on the other hand, Porsche's a great sport cars that will make anyone mouth drop. Porsche's will be more pricey when it comes to upgrades and repairs. The one and only bonus is that since its only a two seater, where ever you go with your friends you wont have to waste gas taking your car since it only seats two......Ultimately the clk550 is a winner when it comes to sports cars.



    hope that helps! :)
    LOL, I'm reading some of the other answers to your question and they sound very jealous! Just ignore them!



    Anyways, What exactly are you looking for a sports car? What is a high quality sports car?



    They are all very good cars but I recommend one of the Mercedes Benz's because they are very good cars. But they are all very good cars, so, the only thing that really matters is which car do you think is the most attractive.



    Good luck. :)



    And ignore the haters!!!



    (I went through the same thing a few months ago when I got a 2006 BMW 5 series. I am 16 years old also.)Do you think this is a good car for a 16 year old girl ?? {easy 10 points}?
    On no planet, are any of those cars, a "good" car for a 16 year old girl. They will all easily exceed your skill level, putting you in harms way. Other problems include feeding an unhealthy ego, devaluing the effort of people who actually have to contribute to society, and costing your father a lot of money, which he may have worked for so long that instead of earning your love, he must now buy it.
    None of the above.



    At 16, you will have extremely high insurance rates, and sports cars will make that even worse.



    And you will have some fender-benders.



    And you will be getting speeding tickets.



    You need a slow, reliable car with good gas mileage and keeps the cops away from you... Minivans keep the cops away. ;)



    Not what you wanted to hear, but it is the best advice I have.Do you think this is a good car for a 16 year old girl ?? {easy 10 points}?
    from the things you have there i would totally go with the Porsche 911 4S Cabriolet but personally i would get the 911 gt2 or maybe a gt3

    dont get a benz they suk *** to repair cuz theyr always having problems
    From the list either one of the MBs. But those cars being German, if you mess it up, you will have to pay big bucks for the parts. My personal dream car is the vette ZR1. Its entirely up to you.
    Mercedes-Benz 2009 CLK550 Cabriolet.

    A lot more forgiving for a new driver than the Porsches and therefore safer. I really don't see you wanting the 'plain' 550 when that's on the list. So there you go.
    if these are the cars you want you're going to be HIGHLY disappointed.
    i think the best is the porsche boxter s cuz its classy and very elegant looking. and u must be really rich and guys like girls with nice cars like that!
    You shouldnt get any of these cars. What you should get is a new or old mustang. Or maybe even a corvette.
    doesn't matter , your gonna wreck it regardless.
    I think you should get the second on a bit expensive but its alot of luxury.
    wow all are good
    vette zr1
    HA,

    I laugh at both you and the last answerer!

    Youre spoiled brats, and ure the most unsafe ppl to be on the road.

    Youre nuts for getting such an expensive car for your first car!

    Get something older, beat it up and learn with it. Then get the good car, later, when ur more mature, and are a very good driver with experience!



    And the hell with me or anyone being jealous!

    FFS, i have a 66 corvette! Thats like $100k or more right there, and im only 17!

    Its my dads gift to mer but i barely drive it. Instead i drive my moms car, a buick! Get common sense and live in the real world!

    Not this daddy's liuttle girl world where you get everything you want.
    If i was your dad ,which i'm not. I wouldn't buy neither one of these vehicle's for you,I believe someone your age should have a more down to the earth vehicle,meaning that you should have more drive time behind the wheel,Plus when your friends are in the car with you they take care of the car when there riding with you ,but i know that there going to do something to your car that your not going to like, You just need to learn to take good care if your first vehicle ,before you get a super nice one ,like your wanting.
    Okay, not just after the points here. I'm just being honest. IMHO, a sixteen year old needs safety first and reliability second. All of these cars offer these things. However, like it or not, you will be an inexperienced driver and therefore more likely to be involved in a traffic collision. I realize you must have lots of money, but if, God forbid, you do pile it up, insurance will be insanely expensive for you after the incident. Not that it will be cheap for you in the first place. Most of my wealthiest friends drive normal cars like Toyotas and Chevys. Now that I'm done with my rant, my vote is either of the Mercedes. They will be cheaper to maintain and not be such a target for thieves or vandals. Porsches used to be quite unreliable too. Not sure how they are now though. Best of luck!
