It’s amazing that there is no way of opting out of these credit reporting companies. We go through all these steps to protect our personal information and yet these companies we have never interacted or done business with holding a treasure trove of information on us.

It was the Eclipse that had the exploding manifold. But I do like your idea of cross-branding.

The location of the trunk release button on the S2000. I always get a kick out of watching the guys at the car wash search high and low before getting out and standing there confused. Also the gas door release button.

For me, it depends on where I buy the refurb from. A while back I purchased a refurbished speaker from Woot. The USB charge port was pushing into the body of the speaker and contacted them about it. Actually got an email response back telling me I could try reselling it to a friend or post it on eBay...

Looking at it head on, it reminds me of Gonzo the Muppet.

Thanks! I’ll definitely check those out next time I’m in the area.

That’s disappointing to hear. I thought about buying a few extra laps to try out the R8 and maybe one of their Porsches, but decided against it. It was too pricey for not enough track. Vegas was fun though.

Totally agree! ExoticsRacing was underwhelming for the price of admission. Was cool to drive an Aventador, but that straight is just too short to really wring out too much speed. Got it just past 115MPH before having to stand on the brakes before the sharp right. It’s a heavy bull. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

That’s good to know. Thanks!

Do banks and lenders rely on just the credit score? I paid off my student loans in year 11 of my 20 year repayment plan and took a 50-60 pt drop. My credit utilization is usually around 5-10% and I don’t carry a balance from month to month. The only other line of credit I have is a credit union auto loan that’s about…

I just try to live like I’m making 1/3 less than what I actually do.

Or move to Long Island (NY) and live like the world revolves around you never to have to do something so plebeian as returning a cart to its proper place.

I picked up the same printer about a year ago at around $65-70. It puts out prints super fast and after 250+ pages, I’m still on the original cartridge. Well worth the money.

Jack of all trades, master of none. When it comes to the lives of our servicemen and servicewomen, I think the cost of specialization is well worth the extra costs. And in the case of the F-35, might actually be a cost savings, if I’m understanding it correctly, many of the cost overruns is due to the manufacturer…

Sprint’s coverage is terrible in my area. I had it for a month a few years back and thankfully cancelled during my trial period. I remember going to one of their stores and speaking with a rep about the slow and often nonexistent data connection. He summed it up by saying there’s a reason they’re offering unlimited…

That’s a great variation! I did the challenge last year and boy was it hard to put away @$50 each week during Christmas season.

I’ll go with the balloons that someone else suggested. Thanks for the info though!

Any idea how much space each bag take up? I’m thinking of filling a friend’s cubicle while he’s away on vacation.

Nice! I have been with State Farm the past 5 years and have stayed because my rates have remained the same (within a $20 range up and down) the entire time. This is in stark contrast to GEICO. They lured me in with the cheapest rate, then increased it every 6 months. At the end of year 3 I was paying close to 160% of…

Pokemon Go - I resisted at first b/c I’ve never played any Pokemon games before. But since I downloaded it 2 1/2 months ago I’ve walked over 700km, whatever that translates to in miles, and lost 20lbs. So thanks!
