I plan on enduring the next four years the way I did the last time he occupied the White House.  My liver will take another beating, though.

If even a tiny smidgen of the crazy bullshit trump has been out there whining about comes true, we’re going to have much bigger problems than worrying about batteries and tariffs. I have intentionally been staying off news because I really don’t want to know whatever idiotic garbage that asshole has to say. But I…

They both broke, but the Ford was able to start and drive away faster than 5mph.

First Gear: If you keep having to remind people you’re the one holding the reins... You are losing your grip.

We should form a support group.

Jesus man, you just summed up my entire existence in two succinct, insightful sentences (I responded same above, meant to be here)

This strikes me as the kind of thing you go out into the garage and build over the course of a few years when you just can’t bear the idea of sitting on the couch and streaming Gilmore Girls reruns with your wife. But other than for that save-your-sanity value, there’s no way you’re ever going to see more than pennies…

Literally anything Scotty has said qualifies, including “REV UP YUR ENGINES”

I am a real estate investor and got into it by renting one-off condos to residential renters.  The lease I used was very neutral and fair but was very clear and comprehensive.   We never had any overly contentious conflicts with tenants but when something came up and we cited the lease for resolution guidance, it was…

I work in car sales. All too often I’ve seen customer’s eyes glaze over and space out when I’m explaining things like Sales Tax, Fees, and Interest rates, or that things we offer, like Oil Change Programs and Vehicle Service Contracts have a cost associated, and then come back after the purchase angry.  Making wild…

Everything you need to know could be told to someone in ten minutes with a pencil and paper. You don’t need a big change. 

Hope you wrapped it.

Kias have a 10 year, 100k mile warranty. Seems like a pretty rational decision. Should go the distance before it starts burning oil. 

That only works for people that have a desire to learn.  You can lead a horse to water...
