Fair question. I wasn’t really THAT in the market for one. We used to have one and traded it in when we were trying to balance out our finances. This one hit the nostalgia points by having the color combo/features we had in our old CTS and it was in pretty good condition with low miles. The previous owner had also…

We had a similar situation when we were shopping a new first gen Volt. We were squirming about the price and the salesman lowers his voice and just says, “I can’t tell you what to offer, but if you just ask, you never know what I might accept.”  Unfortunately my wife wasn’t really loving the car anyway and wanted to…

That’s why I left it open ended.  I didn’t get all huffy because they didn’t accept my offer (I was in the ballpark too, I didn’t offer them something stupid like half.)  They bluffed and I called.  Now, they can either accept their bluff didn’t work and make a sale, or keep sitting on that car for months (again, one…

In California you have to register SxS’s and ATV’s for recreational land use as well.  Now you have three registrations and insurance.

Your username, depending on how you interpret it, is quite disturbing, but I like it.

I emailed a dealer about a Cadillac CTS Coupe they had listed that was way over-priced. I offered them a number that was more inline with what similar CTS Coupes were priced at. They came back with $500 off and I politely declined. They gave me the, “We’ve had a TON of interest in this car, you better hurry if you…

What are these “other materials that aren’t denim” you speak of?

Good point.  What are you more nervous to buy, a used Corvette or a used WRX STi?

At this point we should look up to Idiocracy as a beacon of hope.  At least their president deferred to someone he deemed smarter than him because it was better for the country.

Oh, we won’t.  The Us versus Them mentality is baked in.  If you have to die with your team to make sure the other team doesn’t get elected, so be it.

Ah, another go-to hit with, “I’m sorry I hurt your feelings.” Come on, man, how many more cliches can you pull out of the bag here? Can we get a, “sorry if you were offended,” or maybe a “sheeple,” or even a good ole “libtard demoRAT” for when you really get frustrated.

Each delivery package includes one night at a Howard Johnson’s and there is a $25 Starbucks gift card in the glovebox when you pick up the car.

I know that (c) says, “Failure by buckling.”  But I initially read it as Foiled by buckling, which I somehow prefer.

Just know, that’s what you’re known for around here.

True, but you also have to consider down time for the business as well as the threat to safety for customers and employees.  Some up front investment can save money long term.  I can keep buying mouse traps, or I can pay an exterminator to stop the problem now.

How easily a large portion of this country fell head first into a cult still depresses me.

Whether you consider yourself a Musk fanboy or not, you definitely know their battle cry.

Technically, if you want to get all butterfly effect about it, you can trace this trend back to the writer’s strike of 1988. Needing programming that didn’t require written scripts, COPS was developed followed up by The Real World a year or two later. The idea took off and now we have the Kardashians and Trump. …
