Ours also always seem to have plenty of vehicles with heated seats and mirrors and other really useful stuff in a market where it hasn’t hit freezing in a few years.

The ones in Yuma are the ones who screw everyone raw. Best experience I had was Avondale Toyota. They got us the vehicle custom for sticker (~$27k) when the asses here wanted $7k extra.

This kind of shady business has been the norm where I am in not-big-city AZ forever. Sticker prices or any other number on the car itself mean nothing. They virtually always add some form of ‘market value adjustment’. Twice I have attempted to keep my tax dollars local, only to have $3+k and $7k added to the price the…

I love watching the first two seconds of that over and over to see the jaws drop on the fans behind him who just saw a swine take to the skies.

Here’s the trailer, about :30 of which was more than enough to cement that I never want to see anything of this beyond what’s allowable on YouTube.

Apple will not allow your system password to be the same as your Apple ID password, for obvious security reasons. 

Not nearly as much as because of the natural monsoon moisture from the southeasterly flow from now until August. 

That username and flopping have caused enough problems around here already, TYVM.

I’ll be honest; I hadn’t heard of him until this popped up in the sidebar on Gizmodo. Had the last paragraph been at the top, I certainly would have stopped caring a lot sooner.

The DHS’ secretary’s caveat about the policy not applying to asylum seekers who present themselves at ports of entry no doubt explains why CBP has recently taken the unprecedented step at the ports near here of placing an officer ahead of the actual border checkpoints who asks for potential crossers to show their…

I tuned in a little over five minutes ago and there’s NO audio whatsoever. “AUDIO DIFFICULTIES” bug in the corner.

I have trouble classifying it as a ‘real job’ because of that instability. It’s a flash in the pan, a brief moment of hyped celebrity. Those skills likely won’t translate to long-term success in the same or any other field, and it could all be gone in a moment through no fault of your own, as we’ve heard the cries…

Sorry, but around these parts, carne asada fries (and their relatives and derivatives) are not only part of the standard fare, they’re pretty much the obligatory drunk-at-3am food once the bars close. Some places make them where they barely pass as edible when sober, others are more refined. My personal favorite, from…

‘That’ bullshit chain link shown in the video is the press gate on the way out. The 50k gate is the main back entrance to the dock he leveled on the way in. Check the pointed out link above and you’ll see the other gate was a larger one with an overhead track system and motorized opener, because they don’t want the…

Plus I’m sure they won’t pay a cent of tax on the property or the work for at least 20 years, if not forever.

My friend who shook his hand last summer described it as anything but powerful and dominant. He seems to save those squeeze-and-yanks for dignitaries.

“Lowest Hispanic numbers in the history of our country. Lowest numbers for women in 21 years.”

I’ve seen the Yuma Sun do the same thing on four or five occasions when the La Cucaracha strip gets critical of Arizona-specific issues (a la SB1070 in the past). Interestingly, half the time it’s just missing, the other half it’s mysteriously ‘accidentally’ replaced with a duplicate of the Mallard Fillmore strip…

Screw the Yankees. The rest of us fans get tired of the same old franchises getting the spotlight in national games every season, whether they be leading their division or 19 games out of first place; meanwhile ‘our’ team may be 10 ahead and having their best season in a decade, but they’re still relegated to local…

When my parents retired and became ‘snowbirds’ a couple years ago, I think my mother acquired a small forest of AAA books and maps since they weren’t sure how readily available wifi was going to be for route planning. By year two they got a Ubiquity wifi setup that could connect to Starbucks from a half mile away. ha…
