Let me nominate the Fullerton CA to Flagstaff AZ to the “Least Scenic” trips list. I think that is why it always runs overnight, no matter which way you are going.

I’m pretty sure that is the MB C300.

How do you badge engineer this?

I predict with 99.9999999999499999% certainty that this will not be de-grayed.

That is a myth. Only a hard pull will affect your score, at least with the big 3. The others could be making up their own rules. A hard pull, for example, is when a car dealer pulls credit with the intention of loaning money. They do that so you cannot go to 4 dealers and get paperwork started with all of them seeing…

It isn’t about establishing good credit. It is about knowing what credit agencies are tracking your info, and verifying it is VALID info with no errors. This is pretty simple to do with Equifax, Transunion, and Experian.

There are dozens of others that mimic the traditional 3 above in concept (not in data collection or…

There should be a consumer protection law about this. We cannot possibly know which score we are being evaluated on at any given time, and cannot possibly keep up with the details on them to make sure they are accurate.

I get the free market and credit scorers are selling them as a business model, but it would be like…

It isn’t about a new standard. It is about not cheating on the old standard. The goal posts haven’t moved.

No, you are correct. I wasn’t being misleading though. I investigated this card, or it might have been the “amazon store card” and the terms and conditions said interest started accruing at point of purchase, and the reviews of the card bore that out by many frustrated users, because as many have pointed out, it is…

Unless they have changed something (didn’t read the terms and conditions) there is no grace period. Interest starts accruing the day you pay, not the day after the statement is due.

Pretty sure this thread belongs on Jezebel. 8-O

Agreed. I’d say “yeah, let me go get my checkbook” and walk out never to darken their doors again.

And a lot of smells that some people think are good, and really aren’t. Like potpourri, most air fresheners, all fragrances added to laundry detergent, and Axe, just for starters.

And any woman that thinks it is ok to wear a lot of perfume and then go for a run and get sweaty. That kind of odoriferous cloud can just…

I think people could discuss the priorty of items, but the key in your sample list is - PICK ONE and focus on it like crazy, then move to the next. When you try to do 3-5 things at once in super-tiny steps vs big steps on a single item, it feels like you are doing nothing.

It will be HUGE!

Ditto. I’ve never connected my kindle.

Part of the problem is the south doesn’t get real snow very often. Usually a slushy icy mix so even snow tires don’t work great.

I know. I have an Audi A4 Quattro and used to live just outside of Nashville. I’ll take driving in the winter in Indiana and New Jersey (done both often) way over driving in Tennessee when…

3 second rule still applies.

Strip off the logo and you might think you were looking at a Dodge Challenger from that rear/rear 3/4 view.

I do this every week.

I call it “Sunday” though.
