Is this able to be cleaned?

Got this kayak for super cheap but it’s extremely dirty. I took it to the car wash and got a lot of grime off but it’s looking like this. Would soap help or does it just look like this now?

2004 Lexus SC430 or 2014 Camry?

Hey all, my car was just recently totaled and I’m shopping around for a new one. I have the choice of a 2004 SC430 or a 2014 Camry. They are both about the same price so I’m leaving that part out.

2004 Lexus SC430 with 145k miles, 2 owners no accidents.

2014 Camry SE with 141k miles, 1 owner, 2 minor accidents

Both vehicles are exceptionally clean and well-maintained. Which would you choose? I’m leaning toward the Camry due to the simplicity but the V8 of the Lexus is drawing me in. No kids or anything so cargo room doesn’t matter much to me.

Which would you drive?

My tC saved me

Head on collision with a Silverado, he was going faster than I was (probably around 35-40, I was going around 30) and wasn’t paying attention, didn’t even try to brake. I tried to brake and evade at the last second but it was too late. My 19 year old car did everything it was supposed to. Thankful I was wearing my seatbelt and thankful to have been in a Toyota product. My 2005 Civic would not have responded like that in a crash. Going to miss this car but so thankful I was kept safe.

Head on collision, no medical insurance, liability only

Hey everyone, some advice needed
I was in a head-on collision yesterday and I’m in pretty bad pain. The right side of my chest is hurting, my neck (of course) and my arm. I had to sleep sitting up last night because of the chest pain.

I am at fault for the accident and I have no medical insurance (I work part time and go to school, and can’t afford it out of pocket) and I only have liability insurance on my vehicle. Do I have literally any options for seeking medical treatment?

I’ve gone through some pretty major life changes where my insurance is only liability at the moment and I’m financially unable to pay for medical insurance at the moment. Of course the timing of this happening is just perfect.

Advice would be appreciated. Located in Texas

Mom was arrested, sister is 14 and lives in another state.

I got a call earlier today that my mom was arrested for distribution. This is not her first drug related charge and my sister had been taken away by CPS before around 6-7 years ago, where my mom had to drug test and prove she was a functional caregiver. Needless to say I am under the assumption that she will not be getting another chance.

My sister's father is also a drug addict, my grandparents are physically unable to care for her, there are no other aunts, uncles, grandparents etc in the picture for her. I have been mentally prepared for this situation and I have made it clear to the Department of Public Services agent that I would like to take her long-term if it comes to that.

She has also made it clear to them that she would like to come with me if it comes to that.

Temporarily, she is staying with the family she had stayed with previously while in foster care.

I live in Texas, and she lives in Colorado. I'm 27 but I am I work as well as go to school. I've never done a hard drug in my life and I keep a clean and safe house.

My question is, what can I do to ensure that she won't be permanently placed with this family? Especially being in a different state? Any advice from anyone would be very appreciated.
