    Shit My Kid Says

    Ours say Pooter McGee
  2. I’m glad I read this today and not Sunday. I thanked the lady in the drive thru. Turns out it was “her pleasure”.
  3. Another risky day: Election Day. 18% increase in motor vehicle deaths
  4. Its like you are in my head. I’m calling the retention specialist on the way home.
  5. If they add AT&T sportsnet let me know. That’s when I’ll switch.
  6. If you keep a search going for a month on any of the online used cars sites (caravan, auto trader, cars.com, etc) you’ll find good deals. Carmax is inflated on sales just like most dealers just not as inflated. And their price offers on trade ins is just above auction.
  7. Or look at suggested values from KBB Honda Accord EX 2017 new $26k 2017 used $21k dealer $20k private party 2015 used $16k dealer $15k private party
  8. I got used at howdy Honda for kbb price for used 2 year old model which was several thousand less than new and under 20k mileage. This has not been my experience with other dealerships in the past. I think what people are seeing is the dealership will offer auction price or less for a three year old trade in so people will sell it themselves for a few thousand more. Example: I traded in a three year old Dodge Charger a few years ago. It was the new body style so that wasn’t an issue. Trade in value (per kbb) was $19k. They offered $16k. Private sale value was $21k and dealer used price listings In the area with similar features and mileage i saw were $23k. A new listing for same model two years newer were low 30s. If you buy used from a private seller that doesn’t want to be screwed by the dealer but doesn’t want to spend time haggling, you could save $10k on a low mileage used car.
  9. I’ll look it over. I saw it but haven’t read the thread yet.
  10. Thanks for the responses. Lots of good ideas. I have some research to do now.
  11. Been to Cuba. The end I was on was not where I want to go again.
  12. Exhuma and Eleuthera look great so far. I’ll have to spend some time looking into the others as well.
  13. I stayed at an all inclusive. Hopped from resort to resort. Drank all week. Maybe went into town twice. Agree on the DT scene and whale watching. Good times, will likely not go back until the cartels get pruned.
  14. We did great wolf lodge for our 5 year olds. It was perfect. Close to cheap food, lots to do on site. Three days, two nights. Then continued on to hot springs Arkansas and went to their amusement park Magic Springs (coasters and water park combined) one day and the science museum the next. Not a bad summer trip if the point was to end up in Arkansas to see my folks.
  15. Wife wants to go to Hawaii....or any island beach. I’m thinking we will likely travel in the winter or spring. It’s just us. We are 40ish and open to some hikes or sight seeing but likely also a looking to schedule a massage and a lot of just taking in the sun on the beach. Even in the off months, 5-7 days to Hawaii starts at $3000. Is there a better option. I’d rather pay less in airfare and stay and more into the extras while we are there. Suggestions from the pros?

    Shit My Kid Says

    At the pool and my kid says “lions are mammals.” Me: Yep. They are. “I’m a mammal” Me: Yes you are. We all are. “You’re not a mammal. You don’t have any hair. You’re bald. “
  17. I know it’s a gimmick but I think this looks badass. I’m considering is despite already owning a couple Ps4s largely because I don’t have a pro model yet.
  18. Everyone knows no self respecting southerner uses instant grits.
  19. It can. This was an example, not every day.
  20. Carmax will offer just above auction if you are lucky. The dealer will offer less. Always sell on your own if you want to maximize profit if you have the time.
  21. People that plan meals all day. (Wakes up) What do you want for breakfast? (spends 20 minutes talking about what to eat for breakfast from eggs and bacon to French toast, to breakfast tacos and eventually decides on bacon and eggs) 30 minutes to make breakfast. 10 minutes eating breakfast. 5 minute break. What’s for lunch?
  22. I was tempted by YouTube tv but according to their website (and tell me if I’m wrong) no LHN (I enjoy the baseball) no ID and no HGTV (wife requires them).
  23. I love my Honda mower. Self propelled selectable speed. Mulch or bag. I almost went with a ryobi or ego mower as the battery stuff is good now. And if you aren’t careful gas can ruin a small motor now. I do have a ryobi 40v string trimmer. One charge will be enough to clean up the yard twice. The front attachment is eXpand-It compatible so all my attachments from my string trimmer (edger, limb saw, tiller, etc).
