    I could do that, but I'm starting to feel the heat about having procrastinated so long. In my defense, the waiting so far seems to have been beneficial from an inventory and pricing standpoint.

    Yeah, I managed to get out of it for four years because of Covid and inventory and surge prices. Her vehicle was starting to get it the point we would have to make decisions on repairs so we finally gave in. The fact that we got 4k on the trade in of a 2010 Nissan murano surprised me as well.

  2. Brat, you didn’t get screwed . You go what you wanted at a price you were willing to pay. That’s what it comes down to.

    We looked at 3-4 different vehicles, trims, leg room, etc. Looked at outside financing which as mentioned above is a nice back pocket negotiation (my current truck was UFCU financed not dealer/manufacturer because of that) but went with Hyundais current offer. It’s fucked that some trims qualify and others don’t with some car companies. 
     

    Dealerships are still trying to gouge but it’s getting harder to do so. If you don’t need a new vehicle immediately I’d wait 4-6 months for the deals to really start happening. The 2025s are rolling in by then.

    Mom's and Dad's just like me? I see nothing on the counters except a bucket of greenery and a tea kettle on the stove. Not buying that fakery.

    When we first bought our house before we had kids I wanted a nice fancy tea pot for the stove as it was popular decoration at the time and cool looking on our gas stove. I didn’t end up buying one and now after two kids can’t even figure now where I could store it lol. These people don’t cook at home ever.

  4. Imo don’t even use text, use email. They will text non fucking stop, at least email creates a different time barrier for most.  Bought the wife a new car in January, Hyundai palisade, paid about the lowest possible price for the trim package within 250 miles of us, and had the dealership deliver it from 80 miles away for a small fee. They tried to work some of the same crappy tactics over the phone, but not being face to face made it go way easier/ faster. No sake guy checking with his manger for 30 mins between offers. 
     

    I bought my two previous trucks using email to negotiate and still had to spend an hour plus at the dealership wasting time signing paperwork. This latest time for my wife’s car I didn’t have to go anywhere and she had dialed in what she wanted so it was just paperwork after the negotiation that they brought to us.

    Copied from the two threads I've posted.

    Here's another way to put it. Israel believes the Jewish Messiah has arrived and they are totally comfortable dragging us into WWIII. That's why Ukraine is happening. Austin could force Musk to let us have a fair and open debate. 

     

     

     

    I have the evidence that will shut down every sociopath warmonger but I'm shadowbanned everywhere because I'm the wrong kind of Jewish Zionist. I'm the sane non-genocidal kind.

    Like peoples' false memory of a genie movie staring Sinbad called Shazaam, I swear they made a follow up porno to this called Who's Ridin' Biden. I guess it was just a joke I heard because I looked it up and it doesn't exist but I've been referencing it humorously for well over a decade.

    Bro that movie totally existed!

    I get it. I really only do Sonic if I’m visiting my mom in magnolia or my sister in Clear Lake. Fast food is just an occasional WB trip these days. Prefer local spots. But a coney and tots and a cherry limeade or ocean water still slaps

    Braums cherry limeade is way better than Sonics imo. Burgers too.

    Is this where we post paychecks?  Maybe post photos of corvettes?

    What difference does it make if I have or have not made X amount of money?  

    I’m just trying to understand your mentality. Why vote for a party that doesn’t actually represent your interests? I’m not making 5 mil a year, I’m looking at taxes that actually affect me, not some hypothetical person who makes so much money they can afford to pay higher taxes and not change their lifestyle one bit.

    At the end of the final day Uncle Sam is taking 40% of everything beyond 13 million. Will revert to 5 million after next year.  After having already paid income tax, property tax, capital gains tax,…..

     


     

    Have you ever in your life hit the 13 million or even the 5 million threshold you’re bemoaning here?

    The son literally looks like the dumbass kid from "Idiocracy" that says "And your shit's all retarded"

    But yeah, we totally don't exist inside a computer.  

    How dare you besmirch the good doctor's name by calling him a kid!

    I was thinking that very same thing. I could try to say it 20 times and wouldn’t be able to carry it off once.

    I think he must have lost it too after Torb! Because they cut away until he hits the same note with Sloar!

     

    Rick Moranis does have great comedic delivery and timing as well.
