I'd add that you should try to find the car you want as a rental so you can really live with it, but that does narrow the selection a bit.

The problem is there are people out there who drive 6 figure cars, live in 7-figure homes and make a 5-figure salary.

Not to mention Mt. Evans is actually taller than Pikes Peak, at 14,240.

To Professionalism!

My dad's 240 did that too. You could get it to shut down by locking the driver's door. Apparently the leak was somewhere in that door.

When you refer to rates I'm assuming you mean for service and parts. I've found that dealers in my part of the country are actually quite competitive in their pricing for service and parts, strangely enough. Not 100% mind you, but quite close.

26 and counting for me... It really is an immensely helpful app. The food database is amazing too. They did a great job!

I dunno if they count, but the plain "yellow corn" Doritos taste great with dip.

It is not extraordinary for airlines to make exceptions to policies for bereavement and medical emergencies.

Not to mention a 20-piece nuggets is $5 and a 10-piece is like $4.19.

Absolutely. My poor father is his own boss, and had to basically just shut down his company for the week while we all grieved.

When my mother died in November (she was only 64) my boss was very understanding and I was fortunate to have coworkers that took on what needed to be taken on so I could take a week and deal with the arrangements/grieving. I live halfway across the country but I was lucky to be able to make it home with only hours to…

I know what you mean. I feel like I'm going to slide out the window any time I take a gentle corner in my truck.

About 13 months on my ST's Recaros and they still look and feel pretty much new. Love 'em.

NHTSA runs the roadblock studies, called the National Roadside Survey of Alcohol and Drug Use by Drivers, like this: local police stop motorists, order them into the roadblock area without talking to them, and then federal contractors ask them to participate in a survey about their drinking and drug use habits. The…

I worked foodservice when I was 14. I was making like $500 a week, way too much money for a teenager, and basically un-learned the value of money and screwed myself for the coming college years when I would be forced to live on much less (and unwisely chose to supplement this with credit cards).

Nice job! It really is about controlling your intake more than anything. I'm 6'1 and was also up to about 260 some time ago. I'm at 240 now and feeling a lot more healthy just from that first 20lbs dropped. My goal is to get to 200 by this summer. Haven't been there for probably 10 years.

I think it should be mandatory for everyone to spend a year working in the service industry, to weed out all the asshole 5% tippers of the world.

Here, I'll oblige:
