I got Taco Bell for me and my daughter the other day and was shocked at the price. She got a chicken quesadilla meal. I got a 5 layer burrito (no meal) and we got 2 order...

[quote]I'm right there with you.[/quote]
I think you do anything long enough and it just gets old. Sure, I could change jobs or something maybe, but I have a pretty sweet setup now, and I'd be doing something similar at the new one anyway.
I've done this type of work for 25 years, so it's sort ...

[quote]There was nothing to that but yeah, managing adults, especially middle aged women, seems like a nightmare[/quote]
I've turned down multiple promotions because I know management, director (or higher) isn't my speed. I know that I wouldn't enjoy it.
I see what they do all day, and I'd rath...

Yeah, I bought the cheapest ones I could. I don't remember if this was at night or whatever. Don't do this with Craftsman or SnapOn :lol:
You can't even get the damn lug out of them afterwards most of the time. ...

My truck had them from the factory as did my wife's old Accord. After being burned with them once, I removed them all. They are more trouble than they are worth.
You are far more likely to get stuck on the side ...

re: The average car is now 12.5 years old and the interest
Posted by fallguy_1978 on 5/14/24 at 9:55 am
Vehicles definitely last longer now than 80s-90s models. I think the jury is still out on all of the crap we put in recent models (auto start/stop, turbos etc) to meet fuel requirements. ...

I haven't always bought used, but I've never spent more than 35k on a vehicle. Looks like I'll only buy used moving forward though :lol:...
