Hidden fees
And some are in plain sight, Dealer Document Fee is one example. $425 is the cap set by LA. It can vary between Dealers. Some don’t add it at all, but it can be negotiated.
As soon as I told the F/I guy I was already pre approved through my credit union, he said they couldn’t touch the rate I had and we moved right on from there.

I just went through this. As I posted last week, have your financing already pre approved. Work your best deal over the phone and internet. Make them send you a offer with all lines filled out. Anything bundled, tell them to split it up and list the costs individually.
Watch out for outrageous Doc fees and BS Dealer add-ons, paint and seat protection, nitrogen filled tires. Tell them right from the start you don’t want it and stick to it.
Extended warranty is up to you but it usually isn’t worth the cost.
If you aren’t comfortable at anytime, take a step back and regroup.

I think they were both living at the same boarding house and got together there. Both were from out of town and starting their careers in BTR.

Hurricane Ike did a damn-damn to a lot of properties back in 08(?) and I have to wonder about some of those “repairs” that were done afterwards.
Sir Thomas Lipton, who's familiar face for decades was displayed on his red and yellow tea bag boxes. His bio is an incredible read. During his time, he was definitely the world's most interesting man.
It has gone very well so far, but there are still a few hours left in the day.

Good morning OT.

There’s no way to have any discussion about college baseball’s past history and Skip’s name is not mentioned.
Thanks Coach for everything you did on and off the field to make the game better. RIP.

Congrats Chicken and the TD Staff. What a ride it has been. We have seen posters that started out here in their early teens, now with kids of their own. I think some of us were even claiming Cody as a dependent for a while. :cheers:
:lol: no, maybe June Cleaver?
I am sure you would enjoy both, but that 28 would definitely put a big ol smile on your face!
Hope all is well on your end.

I have been told that in my younger years I had a resemblance of nascar driver Carl Edwards. Not so much now.

Hey Hangit. Sometimes someone’s misfortune is your good fortune and being at the right place at the right time. Glad it happened for you. :cheers:
GA Folks. Car buying today. Gone are the days of walking in, playing the wait game while everything moves at a snail's pace. Phone and internet with preapproved financing are the way to negotiate now. Show up with payment, sign the papers and drive away.

RUD Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly. Translated: Blowed up before it reached orbit

We have a touchless car wash not far from the house and I will occasionally take my wife’s car and my truck through it, esp during the winter months. My old chevy is hand washed every time, no exceptions. The previous (original) owner told me the same thing when he owned it.

Does he have a GoFundMe set up for his defense expenses yet?

That might be a stretch in terms, but it is his vehicle, he can call it what he wants I guess.
I don’t think I ever called my Tahoe a truck even though I could load it up and even do some light towing with it.
