Even the ones in the trunk?

N0thing ventured, nothing gained. I haggled my replacement HVAC system with a small business owner. (I got eye-watering quotes from Lowe’s and Home Depot—eff ‘em.) I also needed a water heater, so instead it was a combo job which saved me money there. Plus I paid cash so he took off the credit card charge. Plus I saw…

Timing was perfect. In fact, I think Chevy re-introduced the stingray for this exact reason. Well done.

Watch out for this one too.

I have no problem haggling with small businesses, but only on large items. I generally take the approach of offering to pay cash for a large item or service purchase to see if I can get a % discount (but only after I ask them if they charge a credit card fee). I will also offer to buy more if I can get a discount.

I lived 4 years in China and haggled every day of those 4 years. It helps to know what the locals pay, and the tip in China is to walk away at 30% of the starting price.

Congratulations, Mr. Drakkon - you’re going to wish you could buy me a tin cup for all these nickels, on COTD! I would like to gift you with an NSX which this lovely lady will deliver soon because she cares.

Was it a boy? I’ll go with Datsun.

The meth heads have that thing chopped and shipped everywhere by now. Bakersfield is a shithole. Actually that’s not fair to actual shitholes. They should be called Bakersfields when they’re bad.

I hate to vote CP on it but god luck finding a mechanic to be patient enough to work on that maze of vacuum lines and hope the parts aren’t made of unobtanium like the non working parts on my ‘91 Prelude.

Now lets just hope this bad boy makes it to production too; with or without a rotary.

Hmmmm.... This reminds me of something. I just don’t.... Have I seen that somewhere before? Does it look like..... If only I could remember!

Congratulations, Mr. Jcarr, et al, on COTD! I would like to gift you with a Subaru which this lovely lady will deliver soon if she doesn’t get tired of pushing.

i’m 37, I’m buying one. Life is too short to drive boring looking cars.

Hi. I’m pauljones.

It’ll probably look better in a different color. And it’ll have a much nicer interior and better reliability than the Subaru.

The kind that doesn’t care what his co-workers thing about his ride?

Member when Type-Rs meant lightweight, stripped out track specials in championship white?
