96 ford windstar broken rear lugnut stud?

Rear drum seized up so removed tire tapped with hammer and sprayed wd40 and it spins again, but one of the studs snapped off and is stuck inside of the lugnut so is it still safe to drive with 4 lugnuts holding tire on instead of 5 as its the rear tire and am guess its less stress on the rear tire lugnuts then the front tires.

95 Ford Thunderbird 4.6l runs 10 minutes then shuts off?

Has fuel psi, seems like as soon as the engine is warmed up something changes and it shuts off, even if you are sitting in the car holding the accelerator… Starts up just fine at first but once this happens it doesn't, or will but shuts back off. Will any sensors or regulators cause this problem?

Student Loan: Pay back what's borrowed or amount spent?

I applied for an unsubsidized student loan from the William D Ford program. I will be a graduate student starting school this week. I took out 12K for this fall and for the spring. If I only use 11,500 would I still have to pay back the 12K that I borrowed or just the exact amount that I spent? Also if I only have to pay back the 11,500 can I use the rest of the money($500) as part of the repayment?

Deciding what car to buy?

Our family loves the toyota lineup. We had the toyota fx, then later the revo, and most recently the innova.

Now we want to buy a new car similar to these (in terms of seating capacity, price, economy, and Diesel oil). Do you have any suggestions?

Ps: we ruled out suzuki&subaru (bec local distributor in our area has really really bad service), honda&ford (because spare parts are too expensive), kia (dads not a fan of korean cars). I know thats a lot ruled out but we need help deciding.
