The last time I dealt with AAA was the last time I was a AAA member. My car had broken down while driving and I managed to coast in to a Pep Boys parking lot. Being there was no place to get my car repaired nearby, because: Pep Boys - I called AAA to have the vehicle towed. They refused to send a tow truck because the…

Because "hit and runs" are often short for "I hit a post and I'm reporting it as a hit and run to save my insurance rates".

Speaking for GEICO (and many others) you can get "upgraded" accident forgiveness which you pay for (in my case it was $0.57 per month, so I got it) but if I'm accident free for 3 years with them, it becomes "standard" accident forgiveness and it's free.

Are you mad? Colgate Total or nothing!

This... this is the only reason I wouldn't consider the Soul, which I otherwise like. It's too damn slow.

Based on my searching dealer inventory over the past month, a 2015 Kia Forte5 SX with Premium and Technology packages seems to not actually exist. Zero constitutes rare, right?

That’s beautiful... too bad it will look nothing like this upon completion. That roof over nothing? Nope... that’ll get cut due to cost overruns. Elevated walkway? Ditto. Beautiful terraced landscaping? Nah.

If someone is interested in light to change the appearance of a room, color enhancing bulbs should be on your radar. GE’s Reveal line is my preferred, but Cree’s TW series are also a decent choice. Although I’m a diehard LED fan these days, in many cases, I actually prefer the CFL version of the Reveal line. The color…

I know several people who got in these cars at the dealer and were thoroughly impressed with the look, at first. It's only once you lived with it for any amount of time that you realized just how awful and cheap it truly was.

If I eat some garlic will sexy dude with the helpful advice show up and give me pointers?

I think the issue you have in this case is that you don’t GET the message. You missed the point completely. Telling you to do “literally anything else” aside from borrowing money from an exploitative industry whose entire mission is to screw you when you’re already suffering is the epitome of sound financial advice. I…

The New Mexico story... Ugh... I once worked for the now-defunct GPS manufacturer Navigon, who sold stupidly (for the time) inexpensive GPS devices with only the 48 continental states. In between running reports in the call center, I overheard one of my employs nearly screaming at a customer that “New Mexico IS NOT A…

DEET definitely melts plastics... I'm reminded of this every time I walk by my television and see a handprint I left prior to gaining this knowledge. And considering how cloudy/white it made that black plastic, I'm going to advise against using it for headlights.

Yep... Especially in that pale orange color that they had spinning at the NAIAS... worst color ever, on a generally unattractive vehicle.

It was a joke... I'd say I probably have strong hands, but I've never really gotten quite so worked up.

Like many others, my day one controller still works like it did on day one. If you're squeezing your control that hard, might I suggest anger management?

He's cute... but all that talking...

I was kind of torn about this, because I really want to say that waiting for the later appointment would probably have been fine regardless of the diagnosis. But then I realize that the only thing going through her mind was “OH FUCK I HAVE CANCER” and there no amount of threats from management that were going to…

This was my first thought... Older cars used steering locks that engaged at a certain steering angle.

Diet Pepsi doesn't even belong is the discussion... although when bottled, I agree that Coke Zero is better than Diet Coke. Although from a fountain, Diet Coke is the master of all things holy.
