I guess the seller cut the check engine light or taped it off.

Keep in mind that most credit card insurance in secondary - they are only activated if your primary car insurance doesn’t cover it. That is unless your card is one of select few like Chase Sapphire or you are paying $24.95 per rental to AMEX (extra payment per rental to make your credit card insure primary)

I guess some of the banks are a pain in the ass to deal with (maybe it’s just certain customer service agents - first time I added it, it was fast, but after the jailbreak, the agents I spoke to were terrible).

I'm gonna go play 18 wheels of steel for next 3 hours. Then I'll hate myself for playing that pointless POS for another 3 hours after that.

Come on, lets be realistic....

Where are the wires?

Wouldn't it have been more fun and justice having the lambo towed by one of the towing companies (I recently read about some good choices in an article about worst towing experiences or something - I think it was on Jalopnik). Preferably one that's really hard to find and has a cash only policy (for the storage…

In 2009, My family drove down to FL in my my mom's 2008 grey Camry from Maryland to visit family.

I had enough trouble trying to install Windows on my macbook with an SSD in the optical bay. I finally got it to work after shifting the OS X SSD to optical bay and vice versa. Bootcamp was no help whatsoever (I have been running Bootcamp since my first Mac in 2008)
