I am have horrible tuning problems with my guitar.?

Question 1
I am have horrible tuning problems with my guitar.?...  I play an ESP LTD MH-50 with an ESP made floyd rose. I know guitars with floyd roses just naturally dont stay in tune as good as guitars without but mine gets out of tune in the middle of a song. I cant even finish one song with out it getting so far out of tune that people who dont even play the guitar can tell its out. It did not do this when I first got it. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can fix it without sticking a block of wood in it. I've heard that one and thats not an option. I need my wammy bar.

Question 2
im 16 male and looking for a car... is a vw jetta to girly if i got it in black?...  

Answers
1)   Not really. I see plenty of guys driving Jettas. However, I really go for guys who drives trucks, but then again I'm from Texas. - Clarissa Darling

2)   you will have to tint the windows - pickmefirstplz

3)   no way, jettas are nice cars. i say go for it! - -mary; the one and only.

4)   I don't see how you think a Jetta is a girly car. I think a black Jetta would be awesome, if you keep it clean. - Charles

5)   hell no
it just depends on the generation you have it in like the mk1 and mk2 is bad ass if you changed out the front grille with a badgeless golf grille with the foglights and the mk5 is alright but acceptionally a chick ride - Jakob

Question 3
What year volkswagen beetle is this?...  http://kewliokat.deviantart.com/art/My-future-car-D-134235261

Answers
1)   Thats like a 74 - Erics Towing & Auto Sales Inc.

2)   Pre 1968 but not older than 1960 (a guess). If someone out there knows when the emblem disappeared and the rear window went solid you might get closer. - Wayne C

3)   My best guess on the basis of what I can see is that it is around 1958/1959 model. The rear window on the beetle was made rectangular in 1958 and the turn signal indicators were on the top by 1959. I don't recall that Volkswagen was on the hood that late; it could be an earlier model hood on the car, I don't know. But my reference materials seem to indicate that the Volkswagen name on the hood was gone by 1958 or earlier.. Its very hard to say without having a chasis number to check against the records. Many VW original Beetles have been modified with various parts from various years, since they often fit from one year to the next; but not generation to next generation. The rear window does appear to be rectangular in shape so, my best educated guess is that it is at least a 1958 model, most likely a 1959. I don't think its any later than 1960.

Hope this helps, a car nut. - a car nut

4)   The picture from this angle only gives us a few clues. The Volkswagen script was used from 50-64, and the turn signals were the same from 58-63 so that narrows it a bit.

However if the badge is original then the VW is definitely a 60-63. If you enlarge the picture is clear that the badge is not the earlier model.

I can't tell from the picture but you could look for a couple other items you can quickly ID. In 61 a sun visor and grab handle were added on the passenger side. Also in 62 the taillights went from glass to a plastic lens.

Hope this helps. - Xenzoa

Question 4
My RPM gauge doesnt work in my newly bought 97 vr6 jetta, what are the mph shift points for max acceleration?...  normal driving shift points too please =)
its not that it doesnt work, its in accurate, like its telling me Im at 5500 rpms when im going 75 in 5th gear, and you can hear the engine is clearly running a lot lower

Answers
1)   would be best to pull your guages and rewire the tach, that is if it aint a burnt out fuse!!! - icpninja420

2)   are u trying to blow up ur newly bought jetta??...cas thats wat it sounds like - Karle

3)   They should. Not only them though.
Bless. - Shary

4)   its normally, for me, around 3000 for 70 mph in 5th, and i think a good shift point for fast acceleration is around 5500 or so. yours may be different also because its a vr6. also mine doesnt work on occasion, i replaced the cluster and nothin :( oh well - David H

2)   all cars are safe,BUT if you hit by a TEN WHEELERS TRUCK,what do you think? - ginoginaco

3)   hmmm... they are perfectly safe. if you dont bunp it... just think, you are actually sitting just above the petrol talk... and VW petrol tanks like to blow if they get tapped the wrong way... the whole bonnet may as well be purely a crumple zone... they smash so easy. unless you want the highest risk of dying in a car then i recomend you dont invest in a VW beetle... put your mums mind at ease and dont get one... my mum hated them and when i said i was going to get one she showed me images of VW beetle car accidents and in no instance did they come out okay!!! - legend

4)   All cars are dangerous....but the beetles has good safety features so it is safer than some cars. - George
