I am angry at Jeremy for being an ass and screwing it up for everyone because he can't act like a damned grown up professional. Regardless, the show is dead to me.

They could've made a better casting choice, though. They also didn't change anything from the show's format, which worked very well with the previous hosts' chemistry. It's hard to not compare and be disappointed.

I decided not to watch the show, im not masoquist

These little crickets are telling me to do dangerous things when I'm driving. When I find them I'm going to tell them to stop putting ideas in my head.

Found a handy diagram of automatic transmissions for those who, like myself, thought they were magic.

Tcoat and Ashi was right, I ate the dog.... and it tasted like regret garnished with disappointment.

Fuck that guy, probably a hard parker.



Anyhoo, another auto-x weekend have been completed. Everyone told me that I have pretty good control of the car. I just have to be more aggressive and drive it like I stole it. More lessons learned from today...

Don't pretend you didn't bump that shit through a "booster" in your car back in the day.

HOWEVER, I feel it's VERY important to read and understand, numbers and or words, that sales folks write or type in the blank spaces in a contract or agreement.

NO! .... don't quote me ....... I'm jest sayen .......

Basically, car lots make money one of four ways:


1. Sale price (high as possible)
2. Trade in value (low as possible)
3. Manufacturer sales incentives (based on sales volume)
4. Financing


Used cars are where the money is, because of the markup from the trade-in value.


There are plenty of honest dealers, but there are also some really crooked ones.

The filing was done by his lawyer. I'm sure it was in the works well before that. Ask me how I know... At least it was a long time ago (30 years). Been married for nearly 28 to wifey no. 2, so that worked out.
