First time I've paid for tix to Fenway in years (thank you for an occasional kindness, large Corporation!),
 
In 34 years I have been to aboout 15 Red Sox games. I have never paid for a ticket. I have not sat in the green moster seats yet. My favirite seats so far have been roof top. No long lines for beers or the bathroom. Instead of parking I always think it is alot more fun standing on the Green Line

The pizza at the north end is fabulous!
 
Best Pizza in the country is at Santarpio's in East Boston!!!!! The place is "old school" Italian. They only take cash. No checks or credit cards. Ther menu only has Pizza, Lamb, and Sausage. The service is thick skinned. They place still uses the original plates, silverware, and glasses that it used when it first opened. And it still has "wood paneling" I love this place.
 
Laurasdada... Have you ever been there? If you haven't you absolutely must go!!!

MACK...Great story with pics. Just when I thought you couldn't get any better...
 
"I want to get 15k for my Expedition, and with the 9k off you guys are taking off the sticker that will put me around 20k to finance. That'll will get my payments around $350.00 a month. I really want them at $300.00 but I don't know if I can get them around that." he tells me. (I wonder who was his math teacher.)
 
That warm fuzzy feeling I had (from them being previous customer) went as cold as Alaska
 
Yeah I saw that but Ford will give me 15k for it."
 
Must have been looking at used car or doing a trade allowance
 
Good luck with that one Mack. Maybe you could send them a email with lots of cool pics and win them over that way.

Starting to sound like this will be a practice up.

I don't see a problem here.
 
If Ford will give them 15,000 for it, just take it in and drive it over to Ford.
 
I'm just sure they will happilly write them a check for it!
 
Yeah...right!

I love playing that car on people. Once or twice the other dealer has actually stepped up and paid what they said they would on the car even without the customer buying a car there.
 
I remember about a year and a half ago we had this woman come in with a A4 that obviously had a sludged 1.8T motor. I was honestly afraid to drive it around the block because I thought it was going to die at anytime and I told her that.
 
We end up offering her about half what some Honda dealer up in mass offered her. She has all the paperwork from the other dealer and they are over charging her by several thousand dollars on the used accord she is looking at buying. I am charging less for mine and mine has nav.
 
We explain all this too her and tell her to try and see if the other dealer will just buy her A4. She says she will try that and leaves. I don't have very much confidence in the whole thing but you never know.
 
I call her the next day and she is taking her A4 into the Honda dealer that evening. I get a call back from her that they bought the A4 for what they offered for it and she will be in to buy our Accord later that week.
 
Turns out she got up to the Honda dealer and they started back pedaling right away when she got there. She started a screaming match with someone there and at the end of it all they agreed to buy the A4 for essentially what they offered her for it originally minus a few hundred bucks. They probably lost four or five thousand dollars on that A4 if they managed to get out of it before the engine popped.

"Where did you order them from? Are these collector plates?"
 
Don't play that game with me. You're not THAT young.

There's just no accounting for taste here.

Platters? I'm still trying to figure out how you saw the Righteous Brothers when there's only been one Righteous Brother for a number of years now.
 
BR - cool. The Rock Cats are in the Eastern League which is a cool minor league. You get to check out the Binghamton Mets, the Portland Sea Dogs (Red Sox) and the Trenton Thunder (Yankees - it just kills me - they used to be the Red Sox) and all sorts of fun teams.
 
I'll be overnighting in Danbury Friday into Saturday. If you were in the neighborhood I'd let you buy me breakfast.... Heading up to see friends in New Hampshire for Memorial Day despite $4 gas.
