About 45 minutes later they come out of the business office and the car is ready to go. I get their license plates and Jenny comes over and tells me they didn't want the paint sealant and fabric protection after all and he beat her up on the rate.
 
So, by Mr. Rickles thowing his little tantrum, he ended up getting the paint sealant and fabric protection for free? Not like you can scrape it back off. What a jerk who makes the rest of us consumers look bad.
 
Don't really understand how he got a hold of his sister's survey. He must of brainwashed (reprogrammed) her on how to fill it out.
 
Seriously, I hope you club the next one like a baby seal.

TV had a story on MPG by mako1a

TV had a story about SUV trade-ins being worth squat, Prius selling like hotcakes along with Yaris and some Chevy econobox.
 
Thing that fuzzed me was a guy trading a C5 Vette and the dealer asking him why he was trading and he said gas mileage.
 I happen to know those things get 28 hwy and 24 when you drive hard. Perhaps a few less when you try to get it airborne.
 
Makes no sense to me. I have a Toyota V6 getting 30.8 AVG MPG for the last 3 years and would trade for a 01 Vette all day long.
 
Does 2 to 3 MPG really make that much difference?

Not so fast. Mack is gonna make you sign a Refusal Form for that beauty and the ADM will kill ya.
 
I could pick you up on the way south and we could gang up on him, but I suppose he's been ganged-up on before.

Welcome to the board.
 
I used to be willing to read the ". . . to be continued" posts until I learned that, well, they wouldn't be, at least to the end. I think it's called a happy ending, and we haven't had all that many, at least on the board here.
 
I don't have any idea how many of these have been left hanging/dangling/whatever, but they are legion.
 
Here's what you do: go to the bottom -- if it says "to be continued," don't even start.

...and will be priced around the Nissan GT-R.
 
Does that mean it will cost the dealership $25k to be certified to sell the thing too?

Now be nice pinhead! There might be one or two that are still unfinished. I may leave them that way so when my second book gets published it will read:
 "To be Continued: The unfinished stories!"
 
PS. I have to write the first though. One of my boys keeps bugging me to write one.

I don't think so. Unless they come up with some stupid rule.

Your comment regarding the "Benjamins" and 1099s makes me think that you are implying that car sales persons would engage in tax fraud. Are we contributing to the negative stereotyping that the pros here complain so bitterly about?
 
Not at all. Knowing how frugal some people on this board are, I was simply trying to ensure that they don't attempt to write off that gift.

Thanks for the information, but we never ,and would never, put a hot pan on a counter top. In fact, when we bought this house last year, it actually had a thermo-glass hot pad built into the counter next to the wall ovens. We plan to keep it when we change our counter tops. Don't forget to check out your porous status on the various surfaces. Good luck with your project.
