Hatchback makes it more utilitaian.  Selling point for my wife.  That as well as AWD and a little more space than some other sedans.

Hometown!! I’ve seen that truck, albeit a little less loaded.  I am amazed the suspension on that hooptie hasn’t collapsed yet.

Built a custom penny top table when our daughter was born. I had tons of time where I had to be nearby, but she was not very mobile and would sleep alot. It was a good thing to keep me from going nuts with the new routine, but quickly became a problem when she began to stand/walk. It now is in the basement...

Don’t give me a shit sandwich and tell me I am eating steak. There is no way people 35 and under will end up better off from this tax plan. Between the inevitable gutting of SS and medicare as well as the incredible vanishing tax cuts, in the end, we will be getting the short end of the stick. By 2020-2025, everyone…

Last time there was a shutdown, I had booked a trip to San Francisco with the soul purpose of visiting places like Alcatraz, Muir woods and some other noteworthy tourist destinations, most of which were inaccessible due to the shutdown. Vacations spent scrambling to find things to do are also no fun. That is a…

What you are missing is that in 5-10 years, you will be paying MORE than now. In addition, due to the cuts that will have to happen to make up for the 1.5 trillion dollars in lost tax revenue, you will be far worse off than now. The $200 per month now will be far offset by the higher taxes/inflation/addition spending…

I add Hershey’s syrup and a spoon of Nutella to the milk and ice cream. Best shakes ever.

Why don’t vendors just quote you on what they want you to pay? If they want $5000 for photos, ask for it and don’t expect a tip. Most of venues and caterers we looked at for a wedding include an 18-25% “gratuity”. So they can tell you the meals are $50-60 per person which sounds reasonable for a nice dinner, but in…

In one year of ownership, 35,000 - 50,000 miles

2011 4 cylinder Equinox. This was resolved about 2-3 months ago. About a month after jumping through hoops and finally getting it fixed, I got a letter from Chevy saying that GM is now aware that some Equinox 4 cylinders may have an issue with burning oil and that I can bring mine in to have it fixed free of charge.…

I’ve had an issue with oil consumption on a GM vehicle with 40,000 miles. Consuming 2 quarts per 1,000 miles is not normal under any cirsumstances. It took a total of 13 visits between 2 separate dealerships before the car was repaired. When it was finally fixed, the dealership found “a leaking AC compressor” and…

Had to move a pull out couch into and out of a 4th floor apartment for my brother. I told him when he moved again to toss it off the balcony and light it on fire.

I left a job for a much better paying job with a Fortune 100 company. When I did, I left a void in my old position. Due to politics, my old position would not be filled immediately. I was able to leverage that into a side gig paying me $50 an hour. I've been able to do it in spare time while working the new job…

An extreme example. I order a 20 dollar dinner and a 20 dollar bottle of wine. $40 total = $8 tip.

Slap a spoiler on it and I think this is it.
