Reno, Lake Tahoe, San Fransisco


Answer
lake tahoe. for sure.

squaw valley is a great place for tourists. if you ride the cable car up to the top of the mountain there is a museum all about the 1960 olympics. There is also shopping in the olympic village and many other adventures, like the ropes course, mountain biking and horse riding. Also located in squaw valley is there 5 star hotel resort at squaw creek. At the resort there is swimming, ice skating, massages,and fine dining. Go see the lake! Kings beach and east shore beaches are by far the best beaches around. In kings beach you can get in to tahoes culture by stopping by one of the many mexican resturaunts. Such as Las Panchitas located on N. Lake Blvd. And La Mexicana on brooke avenue. It is a small resuraunt with seating at the counter or outdoors with a traditional mexican grocery store attached. It by far has the best burritos in town. Whatever you do, DO NOT go to Caliente. The prices are expensive, the food is bad and i know many people who have gotten food poisening. Brooke avenue grill is also a great place. It is a casual place with great food. It is accross the street from bank of america. On N. lake Blvd. Over a little further on the west shore there is a great tahoe resturaunt located on the lake called sunnyside, it is alson on N. Lake blvd. River Grill in tahoe city also has great food. River rafting is also fun. Mountain Air sports seems to have the best service. You get on in the heart of tahoe city and end up close to squaw valley.

do i need snow tire chains driving down i-80 from sacramento to reno this weekend?




Nessa (:


i was wondering because i was looking through the details and i couldn't find much.
i was wondering should i buy some in case or just not get it because i'm only staying in less than a day and chains are pricey.



Answer
unless your car is 4 wheel drive, I would always carry chains with me anytime of year going to Lake Tahoe. There is a minor storm system moving through late into the night saturday. so you never know.

you could try renting some at a local ski or sport place like rei. not sure if they still do that. try also local auto parts and/or tire stores.

i would never drive to tahoe in winter with out chains unless in a four wheel drive vehicle.

Spunky sk8


I have 2 sisters and we drive a large sedan. I would like for my mom to buy a bigger car because I can't ever sit with my friends in the car if we are all in it because my family takes up the whole car and when we are all together, my friends have to cram into the car with us. Please give me some ideas!!
I DO KNOW HOW MUCH CARS COST!!! IT WOULD BE NO PROBLEM!! MY MOM JUST LIKE LITTLE CARS AND IT ATTACHED TO THEM!!! LOL!!
Oh ya, also my sisters always take their friends so they would like a bigger car as well.



Answer
Well if your mom doesnt want to look like a soccer mom in a Mini-van then you should possibly consider an SUV with third row seating cause a normal SUV wont do you any good if it seats the same as a sedan. Im assuming your in search of a Certified pre-owned vehicle cause it doesnt sound like your in the market for a new one.These are my suggestion, look at the links for examples, these SUVs all price around or under 16K which is the average cost of a used family Sport utility vehicle.

What car should I buy next?




MTA


I'm looking to buy a new car this year but I was to be sure I buy the best car. I've looked at a 2005 RX8 but the maintenance track of them isn't the best plus they basically eat my gas. I'd buy the 350Z if it had a backseat, but it doesn't and since I'm a student and the only one of my friends with a car, I need that back seat. I looked at some 2007 BMWs and Audis but I'll be financing for 4 or 5 years so when I finish they'll be 10 years old and have lost their luster by then. Right now I'm really considering a 2011 Scion tC. I want something that has that agressive sporty edge to it but it doesn't have to be like lightening fast or anything. I like some power under my foot but I'm not doing any racing and fuel efficiency is important to an extent so I don't want anything that eats gas just to get more power. As long as the car seats 4 or 5 people, has a nice body style, is pretty new, and has (or can have with some modification) decent enough power, then I'm happy. The 2011 Scion tC really seems the best bet right now but I just want to know if anyone can think of something that I've missed. I have a budget of about 20K. Oh and I'm upgrading from a 2007 Cobalt.


Answer
With $20,000 you can easily have a pre-owned 2008 BMW 328i, Lexus IS250, Infiniti G35 or even a Mercedes C300. Its all about looking in the right places. If you are looking for reliability both Lexus & Infiniti are great cars. If you are looking for performance the BMW 3 series & Infiniti G are your best bet. Both BMW 3 series & Infiniti G are the best performing entry level luxury sedans in their class however there is no doubt that the BMW will be more demanding to maintain over the Lexus & Infiniti, so in retrospect the BMW is not the most economical sedan of the bunch. German competitors are priced similar to their Japanese competitors but maintenance wise the Germans acquire hefty repair cost while the Japanese do not, reliability is also a contributing factor. Here are some examples so you get an idea of what is out there. However if you are looking for economy and affordability then I would suggest a newer/used Ford Mustang, Hyundai Genesis coupe, Chevy Camaro.
