Questions Related to des, plaines cars

Provided By Y! Answers

How can I find a babysitting job in, or near Des Plaines, IL?
Question:
I babyset only 2 kids in my lifetime, now I want to get a babysitter job, and I don't have a car, but it's possible for me to get anywhere in radius of 10 miles.

Answer:
I would also suggest that you post a listing at the library, train station, grocery store bulletin boards, neighbors, ect. Folks are always in need of a good babysitter. I'd also recommend that you take a cpr class (try the firehouse/police station for free ones) & a child care class @ Oakton to really show that you know what you are doing. Good luck!

i had one key and broke inside car door. i m in des plaines, IL. help me plzzzzzzz?
Question:
i got 1997 nissan altima. got no spare key. tell me the ways to get a key again for cheap

Answer:
Well you can start by seeing if you can get the broken part of the key out of the door with a pair of needlenose pliers. If you have both parts you can take it to a locksmith and that will be your cheapest way to go. Otherwise if you go through the dealership it will cost you too much money.

is it safe to go for night club alone in public transport in chicago?
Question:
I am new in chicago. here for a brief period. i want to explore it but have got no car. I stay in des plaines. I want to explore the night clubs too. got no frnd to accompany me. Is it safe to roam around alone in publice transport at night? And is chicago's public transport good?

Answer:
Generally, yes, it's safe. Coming from Des Plaines, you'd probably want to take the Blue Line in, which probably runs 24/7 since it goes to O'Hare, so you won't have to worry about getting stuck. Just remember: stay aware, stay with others (even if that just means being in a crowd of strangers), and if you feel uncomfortable, find the nearest CTA employee.

i got pulled over because a cop had suspicion or something. i wasnt doing anything wrong but he gave a me?
Question:

Suggestions for modding an 03 Lexus ES300?
Question:
This is exactly what my car looks like: http://www.carsinsightreviews.com/images/2003-lexus-es300-rev iew.jpg http://www.planetlexus.com/lexus-es300/lexus-es300-front4.jpg http://imganuncios.mitula.net/2003_lexus_es300_for_sale_in_des_pl aines_il_zip_code_60016_521273508145757.jpg It's a great car on the inside, yet despite the fact that I do love the car, it's one of the blandest things I've seen on the outside. I was considering various options like repainting it and stuff, and I ranked all my options from least drastic to most drastic: - tinting the windows - replacing headlights with blue-tinted ones - I really like blue-ish headlights on vehicles, not super bright blue HID lights, but just regular halogens with a blue tint - MAYBE darken the tail lights, "smoke" them out - I've always found this to look good on gray/silver vehicles along with tinted windows More drastic modifications: - put a small subtle body kit on it; a lip spoiler, a back end spoiler (not on top of the car, on the bottom) and side skirts. Something that would end up looking like this: http://www.octanemotorsports.com/images/EXD-1034970.jpg h ttp://www.octanemotorsports.com/images/EXD-103497.jpg http://www .clublexus.com/gallery/data/506/18145win94.jpg (without the spoiler) http://www.clublexus.com/gallery/data/500/18145win_13.j pg http://www.clublexus.com/gallery/data/500/18145win14.jpg M aybe change the rims, though I doubt I'll go this far. I love the way the BMW-style BBS rims look on this one, along with the same small body kit that was in the previous pictures: http://www.clublexus.com/gallery/data/500/181454th555. jpg And lastly, repainting the car black or dark blue would be great but I don't think i'd have the money for that and it wouldn't even seem worth it. I can make the gray color work. Anyways, of all those choices, which do you think are acceptable and which do you think are pointless? Last thing I want to do is to make the car into a pathetic looking ricer. I just want to subtly improve its looks into something a little more ... classy ...

Answer:
Yeah, it's pretty bland on the outside. I think you're on your way. Here are my suggestions... Definitely tint your windows. Body kit? If you do a body kit, don't do one that's sporty looking (it will ruin the lines of the car). I would do a clean kit that lowers the body line (similar to that clublexus one you posted). also, remember that you're going to need it painted, that's going to cost money. Before you do a body kit, do wheels. You can go with BBS style rims but again, I think it doesn't fit the style of the car. The car 'feels' too narrow in the front and trunk for a full bodied rim like that. I would look for and pick up rims from a newer ES350 in the 17 or 18" size (not sure if your ES has 15 or 16). I wouldn't do wheels until you need new tires. Also, if your suspension goes out, you can do some eibach springs and shocks for a mild drop. Your ride will be a little rougher so that's your preference. Headlights... don't bother with tinted halogens. You can pick up a legit HID kit that won't blind people because your headlights are the projector type. If you want a slight blue hue, pick up a 5k kit. Anything higher means less light for you (4300k, 5000k, 6000k etc is where the light falls on the color spectrum and 4300 is the most pure white light you can get). You can probably buy a painted lip spoiler for your trunk off ebay. They're usually decent. I wouldn't tint your tail lights. It was hot 3-4 years ago but now every joker is doing it. Pick up some better tail lights off ebay that look pretty good.

Everyone is talking about their City/State why not me??!!?
