Pulling over to the side of the freeway, and getting out to change a flat tire shouldn’t have to be as dangerous as it often is. A car accident on the 91 freeway in California on Sunday proved that the danger is not from the fact that you’re out on the freeway, but from the reckless and drunk drivers on it.

28-year-old Raul Hinojosa and his friend Matthew Lawetzki had pulled over on the side of the westbound lane, and were engaged in changing a flat tire on their Nissan Sentra. According to the Orange County Register, a Ford Ranger driven by Allyn Barry Casey approached the Nissan in the right lane, and swerved his car onto the right shoulder, hitting the disabled car. Lawetzki was able to see what was coming and jump over the guardrail and out of harm’s way. Hinojosa took the full impact of the car accident and was killed instantly. He was the one changing the tire at the time of the car crash. Lawetzki was taken to the hospital for treatment for his injuries, while the driver of the Ford was arrested on suspicion of drunk driving.

Hinojosa was just 28-years-old, and this must be a traumatic time for his family. He was not in the wrong at all. All he was doing was changing a flat tire after having pulled over safely (or so he thought) to the side of the road. You should be able to pull over on a road, and fix your car if needed, without wondering if a drunk driver will show up and choose that same moment to barrel his vehicle into yours.

Just yesterday, we reported that drunk driving accident fatalities nationwide are showing a downward trend thanks to the minimum drinking age. It’s plain to see that the minimum drinking age will have a limited impact as long as people like Casey continue to shirk their driving duties. He was 58-years-old. It’s extremely frustrating to see older people who simply should know better, taking part in such destructive behavior. You can blame drunk driving behavior on ignorance and foolishness when the offender is underage, but when you see drivers like Casey so unmindful of their responsibilities on the streets, it’s enough to make you demand more severe punishment for offenders.

Hinojosa’s family must be struggling with the emotional aspects of this car accident, while Lawetzki continues to be in the hospital with medical costs of his own. The two families must consult with an experienced Orange County car accident attorney to protect their legal rights.

Debt Consolidation Can Be the Way Out Of Bad Credit
Chance is that you have credit problems and a mountain of debt just like most of us in this country, and sometimes it may seem to you that there is 0 hope left for you to fix a bad credit. But dont worry there is still some hope left for you.

What you should do is to think about debt consolidation services which can assist you with your credit repair. Lots of times the process of debt consolidation reduces stress and can help the consumer to get out of debt faster at the same time.

Credit repair is sometimes just the answer we need; especially to those who are planning to buy a house or a car sometimes in the near future. But finding just the right company which we can trust in this course of action is often very difficult.

The best way to do this is online, that way you can compare and research any company you are interested in from the comfort of your home. Be sure also to check for reviews and rate quotes at the same time in order to save time.

After research, the next thing you should do is to get all your debt information that you can get your hands on. Be very thorough and try not to miss anything. Good way to this is to start asking yourself some questions like: what credit cards do you have or what are the minimum payments you have each month.

These kinds of questions are essential to your credit repair and you should share every information that you have with your chosen credit repair advisor. After that the company you have chosen, after the research, will quote you a monthly fee. Next the credit repair company takes over and the rest is up to them.

Very soon you will have a much lower monthly payments on your back and no longer will you be paying your creditors but instead you will be paying your credit consolidation company.

Debt repair is often excellent way to avoid bankruptcy and there are many debt consolidation companies to choose from these days. The reason for this is that a lot of people need credit help, and credit consolidation companies see that as an excellent business opportunity.

With so many to choose from it can be a difficult job to find just the right one for you, so you should check for company reviews, history, background and policies. Use BBB (Better Business Bureau) to check the company you are interested in once you narrow down the candidates. Ask your family and friends about their credit repair experiences (if they have any) and see which company they can recommend.

It will not be easy or cheap to get out of debt but it should improve your credit score and not ruin it. And at the end you can start with your debt consolidation by handling your money with more care, saving and investing wisely for the long term profit and also get your credit report and sign up with a good credit repair company.

This one goes out to BowlingBallOut who posted a question about a sticky throttle on his Saturn. It was a great question so I decided to make this video in response to it. There are many different configurations of throttle assemblies but for the most part if you have a throttle that is sticking you might be able to fix it using the procedures in this video. I am aware you may not able to purchase spray throttle cleaner in some states now but I’m sure they have some alternative available at your local parts store.

Buying a home is not a spur of the moment decision. Taking time to prepare and doing the homework not only makes the process less stressful, but will make homeownership a pleasure.

Getting Organized

Start with a loose-leaf notebook and some sharpened pencils. Manila file folders are helpful in organizing bills and other documents needed for loan applications. Having a business telephone directory on hand or access to a computer is a good idea. After making calls, record the phone numbers, contact name and a short note on the conversation in the notebook under a reference tab.

Rent vs. Homeownership

For some renting makes more sense than purchasing a home. The only way to determine this is by comparing the costs of homeownership to renting.

In addition to mortgage payments (first and second mortgages) taxes and insurance (mortgage insurance and homeowner insurance) must be included in the owning a home column.

The next items in the column should be utilities. For a home these include gas, oil, electricity, water, waste disposal (garbage pickup), and optional telephone and cable costs.

Condominiums and Co-op Fees

Some first time homebuyers decide to purchase condominiums or co-operative units because many of the utility and maintenance costs are included in the homeowners’ association (HOA) fees. Include these fees on the list and remember that all utilities may not be covered. Contact several homeowners’ associations to get an idea of what the HOA fee covers.

Mortgage Credit Certificate

The Mortgage Credit Certificate program offers a federal tax credit for mortgage interest paid. Most states participate in this program. The credit can be used to increase the homeowner’s take home pay and offset the costs of owning and maintaining a home. Contact area realtors, state and county housing departments and employer payroll departments for information on this program.

Maintenance Costs

Maintenance costs cover a wide range of items from lawnmowers to roof repair. Trees have to be pruned, lawns mowed, heating systems maintained, windows caulked in cold climates, broken pipes and windows replaced, leaky faucets repaired. Make maintenance costs an item in the homeowner column.

Call local utility companies and work with a local realtor to establish a good estimate of these costs. Always go with the higher estimate.

Home Improvement Grants

Many states and counties offer home repair and improvement grants to homeowners. Homeownership is a requirement for most of these grants. Knowing the eligible areas, property types, and grant uses will assist in determining if the grants can be useful after purchasing a home. Visit myhomedownpayment.com, and contact state and local housing departments for grant information.

Intangible costs

Mortgage payments, utilities, maintenance and repairs are the tangible costs of owning a home. Intangible costs require another list that should include the following questions:

Why do I want to purchase a home?

Do I have enough time to maintain a home? (Not maintaining a home will decrease the property’s value.)

Can I change a light bulb, mow a lawn, paint the front door, replace a lock, caulk a window, repair a faucet, trigger an electrical circuit, recognize mold or termite damage?

Do I have a tool kit?

Am I willing to make financial sacrifices if owning a home costs more than I am paying in rent now?

What am I willing to cut back on financially to own a home?

Will a major financial emergency (health, car repairs, or job loss) impact my ability to make my mortgage payment?

Do I have a savings account?

If I create a budget will I stick to it?

If owning a home requires a lifestyle change, am I sure (as much as it is possible to be) I want to change for the long term?

How often do I call my landlord to make simple repairs?

Next

If you’ve come this far stay tuned the next article will cover homebuyer’s classes. Questions, comments and stories are always welcome.

The author, Yasmin Sabur, is the founding member of My Home Down Payment, an e-education business promoting mortgage down payment assistance programs for low-to-moderate income families.
