I definitely did. I was shopping with a friend and I just turned t her and said “Welp! We’re done here!” and we went to a different dealership.

I once had a salesman look at me using a calculator and say out loud “Oh! I guess this guy needs to see numbers before he makes a decision....” which scared me shitless for so many reasons. Both that he acted like it wasn’t to be expected and that he looked down on me for actually bothering to check.

The big problem I see here isn’t simply that these people are bad at math, it’s that they don’t recognize that they are bad at math. And you’re right - this is a bigger issue when they get suckered into a bad deal than when they walk away from a good one.

Seriously, I’d rather spend the time/money to find a minty Neon R/T, Focus SVT, or if you insist on it being from the early 90s, Cavalier Z24 or a first gen Sentra SE-R. Cause shipping alone is a few grand and buying a decent twingo is a few grand on top of that. A half rusted neon isn’t worth 5-7k but a clean…

And by “unique” you mean it has lots of glitches and exploits to be used? Because really, competitive melee is its own game and actual melee is more in line with....well.....brawl and smash 4.

If brawl continues the SMash trend of not using health bars in lieu of a % damage to indicate how far a character will fly and uses the same control scheme as melee and uses a similar roster on similar stages with *gasp* randomly spawning items!!!!

Just a hunch but....maybe this is the work of the number 1 homeopathic remedy in the world...Placebo! Good ol Placebo! Most all around remedy ever conceived and one big pharma hates because they don’t make money on it.

Chinese medicine used to involve lead and mercury. Enjoy your heaavy metal poisoning (among other poisonings). You know what ancient medicines worked? The ones we still use today. Because that’s how medicine works. A lot ofthe old cures were either difficult to control, innefective or, in some cases, antagonistic to…

I too have a foot made of lead. I too don’t get much higher than 26 or 27 in mixed driving. Though it is improving with break-in. I actually cruise and get over 32 on the highway. I find it helps to keep tire pressures up.

If it’s any small comfort - the guys who moan and whine about how cars are a “guy space” are the same sort of mouth breathers who clog up forums with things like “Why don’t my summer tires work in the winter?” or posts of their new “cold air” intake that sits above the exhaust manifold and sucks in 200F air....Can’t…

Every time I see Jorda, I am reminded of the time I watched her in a one-make renault touring car race. She was dead last. In fact, she was so awful, I was left with the lingering thought that she probably couldn’t beat me if we went head to head in identical Fiesta STs. Jorda was so far behind, and her lines so…

What sucks is this report hurts so many other company reputations too. Many of whom are doing quite well at stopping the “old ways” of dumping and burning and just not giving a shit. While perfection is a long way off, it is encouraging to see how many production shops and parts/supply companies are taking a proactive…

“Way to move those goalposts!”

Man, there are some screamer deals in my area for non running bikes too. A CB900 for 500$ list. A nighthawk 650 that needs fork seals and a speedometer cable for 400$. A Shadow 750 in impeccable cosmetic shape that won’t start for 700$ (probably rectifier/battery).

Oh I’m sorry, the XS650 needs new jets. Here’s a virago 750 - https://grandrapids.craigslist.org/mcy/d/yamaha-virago-750/6392058879.html

Decent running GS850 - https://grandrapids.craigslist.org/mcy/d/1982-suzuki-gs850l/6413942731.html

CP. If it was below 500, maybe. But at the end of the day, the KZ1000 is an old school UJM that, like many others, really wasn’t the best when being asked to handle large displacement engines. It did fine in it’s day but this bike is completely outclassed by the Kawasaki Concours of the 90s. With a much more modern…

Meanwhile in Michigan there are two - Construction, and “Shit, it’s cold outside....and there’s construction!”. Nothing says “long lasting road” quite like seeing the steaming piles of asphalt being slapped into frozen over potholes with gardening shovels by men who are more sweatshirt and hoodie than human.

Seeing cars on the side of the road, or in a parking lot, or sideways in an intersection with the wheel that fell off somewhere nearby is a once-a-month occurance. I want to specify - I am talking about JUST people who lose a wheel while driving. Every other car in the wal-mart parking lot has had, will have, or is…

Meanwhile, at the old timers show...
