The Advice Thread

The "beater" is actually a 1996 Chevy Lumina. It still runs great, but the A/C died and the paint job has gone to pot. So what's the best thing to do with this car? I don't think I'd get much for it to sell it. Is scrapping a good idea? Donating to Goodwill? Give it to a demolition derby? I need ideas!

This sounds like the perfect starter car for a young man (age 16-22ish) who's learning to ratchet his own ride. Sell it to a younger cousin / nephew if you have one. If not, sell it to some kid who needs a ride to his part-time job.

Don't worry about how much money you get from selling the car. Just use kbb value. Remember that the real money is not having to pay taxes on this car any longer.

But would this CTVD program be interested in a beat up old 1996 Lumina?

YES! They'd probably be interested even if your car had no wheels.

It's like some programs where people move out your own furniture for you, and you get a tax break. It's one of the reasons I love donating rather than holding a yard sale. I don't do squat, yet somehow get paid.

I'm going to be on NPR (local) this week to promote the local art museum. I'll drop a "thank you" for all of those who've donated to the CTVD program.

Man I miss Click and Clack. Some of the most enjoyable radio I've ever listened to.

I still listen to their reruns on Saturday mornings while I cook breakfast.

Le Show is my all time favorite NPR program though.

I need customized playing cards, only the Royals. I have my own designs. So, twelve paying cards.

Where to go besides the usual Google search?

They don't do double sided custom cards, and their prices are a bit higher.

Still, thanks for the advice.

Prices are higher, but it is a better quality product - they use an epson 5600 that is properly tuned. They also have coupons that pop up randomly. I know for a fact that they do double sided customs, since alot of pnp boardgamers use them - including myself.

Granted that is all for plastic coated. If you want linen cards, your best bet is to go to Superior POD and request a quote. Know that it is not cheap. The 300 gsm that Printerstudio uses is ok, but a true 325-350 gsm is pricey. You will feel the difference.

I didn't know doing custom playing cards was such a popular thing.
