Replying to: oregonboy (May 09, 2008 12:45 pm) 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.

Replying to: nortsr1 (May 09, 2008 10:33 am) 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. Richard

Replying to: venture (May 09, 2008 7:39 pm) 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. You're probably right but not by a formidable 2 man posse from PA like us. Whenever you're ready you know where I hang out. jmonroe

Replying to: greanpea68 (May 09, 2008 6:17 pm) Until the new company took over April 1. Now it is $150. Who's the new company? If I am not mistaken Jeff's dealership has gone from being privately owned to being part of a dealer group. Never a good thing IMO.

Replying to: joel0622 (May 10, 2008 5:34 am) Sonic Automotive Inc OH NO.... RUN Jescue, RUN for them thar hills!! SONIC is awful to work for, they treat their employees like dog excrement and could not care less about them. they ONLY care abourt the bottom line and reporting earnings to stockholders - no matter what the cost. When they 'take over" they clean house and "broom out" & "cut bait" a lot of employees and they usually start at the top and work their way down. JESCUE, is your GM still there or did they "blow him out" yet. If you are a manger, I would highly recommend that you start circulating your resume ... QUICKLY. Even if you can justify your staying, it might not be a plesant experience. GOOD LUCK !! Replies to this message: jescue (May 10, 2008 12:42 pm)
