I pulled into a busy gas station where I pulled into the last bay, which had gasoline and diesel. After getting out and sliding my debit card into the pump, some billy in his pickup pulled up directly behind me, got out, and demanded that I move because he wanted diesel. I continued fueling up while looking him in…

“To maintain the model’s exclusivity, no Bentley version was ever offered.”

Where are the Pinkertons when you need them?  /s

Saw “Bradley GT”. Didn’t need to read further. ND.

He should have taken the Costanza defense:

Well, that was fucking stupid.

If the brakes are leaking fluid, a possible fire is two or three steps down on the concern list.

This generation of Camry suffered some cost cutting measures over the last generation. Cheaper taillights, rear drum brakes instead of discs, etc. But I guess it’s still an OK car.

Idiots like this don’t realize we also possess a deadly weapon, and if I were ever in a situation like this one, he and his driver’s door would be gone.  I would get a lawyer only if they found me.

This MBA concurs.  I know all of their slimy tricks.

Corporate America could have set up their pension fund in a trust.  That way, it is entirely off of their books, and they can’t raid it whenever the mood strikes.  

Who’s bright idea was “let’s replace pensions that are managed by people with financial backgrounds with 401k plans where individuals with absolutely no idea how to invest control them.”

After years of my rates going up with no claims, no tickets, no points, I went to my insurance agent’s office to have him explain to me why my rates keep going up. He talked about how I am “pooled” with other insured motorists, and therefore…

He is only on 9-10 on weekdays, when he shows up.  He also has his “Mad Money” show in the evening.  Again, when he shows up.
