KBB used to be about the gold standard, but then everyone jumped onboard and it became NADA Black Book. Then people started finding out about that. As consumers become smarter and are able to find and share information faster, the dealers continue to look for ways to make money (or other sources of information that…

Don’t blame me. I just report what KBB and TC told me. I was simply curious how far from reality this dealership was.

I BS’ed the entry because 94 Prizm. I said “standard” equipment and a boatload of miles (like 200k - beyond that the model doesn’t care) and the lowest possible condition (because “shitbox” wasn’t a choice).

PHIL SWIFT HERE FOR FLEX SEAL!

Not that they are the bible, per se ...but KBB says that the trade value on that car is $126 and TrueCar told me to GTFO for even trying to find a Geo.

Workout headphones? Try bone conduction. They sit against the bone just in front of your ear and send the sound into your head by physically vibrating. (1) You can clean ‘em. (2) Leaves your ears open to hear the dude-bro telling you your hour on the elliptical is over. (BTW, I don’t happen to think that the sound…

I completely agree. If he doesn’t flinch (and it’s 100% because he though the mound pitch was coming straight at him), then you probably have three good-to-okay pitches, one curling joke, and a quarter (which is half of a 50 Cent).

Bodega? As has been mentioned - that’s the correct term for a Latin convenience store (especially in New York). With 45% of the population of NYC being white, how can you say “don’t say that”? If the store owner is Latin and/or the customers are predominantly Latin, is it better to ignore race and say “corner/drug…

The other three guys range from “pretty good” to “eh, good enough” to “kidding around.”

Oh, you’re going to Hilton Head, too?

Have you whitelisted us? If not, is it because you hate America?

Unfortunately, the sound system is stuck on repeat ...

After far too many years playing the game, they are yellow. Specifically they are optic yellow (hex #ccff00) a color which was chosen because it shows up better on TV. Further, the International Tennis Federation only allows white or yellow for match play.

I have the S6 Edge Plus which was, I think, the first Samsung with the curved edge display. It’s been flawless for 2+ years. I’m always a little careful with my stuff, but I’ve got a slim case (Incipio if you’re curious) on it and even with a few minor drops, it’s 100% fine. No cracks or anything.

I’m not advising you…

I’ve got the 6 Edge Plus and I’m picking up my S9 today. My carrier upped the value of my trade in from $70 to $200 for getting the 9 and the local Best Buy had them for $100 off as well. Pretty decent savings off of (the ridiculous) sticker price. Buying from BB, then taking the $200 credit on my carrier account once…

If Chicago had decent weather it would be the greatest city on Earth.

I’ve got photos somewhere (probably on home computer - not seeing anything in cloud storage because I’m old and distrustful) of a big damned bird carrying a fish out of the ocean, landing at the house next to our vacation rental, and proceeding to make his own sashimi. I’d just gotten a new, longer lens, so I got some…

You monster!
