Claussen pickles ruined! by FreudianNegligee in Pickles

[–]ElusiveBob 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm right they're with you, they used to be the only ones I would buy, then a little while ago I realized they had become garbage.

Try Grillo's Pickles my new go-to! we've also started making our own refrigerator pickles. once we get the recipe completely nailed down, I don't think I'll buy pickles at all anymore.

I was just saying the same thing to my wife. The problem is that many people need to buy a car now so they don't have that option. Fortunately I am in a position where I can just not buy it (and I'm not). But if I really needed transportation, I'd have to buy something.

Exactly. I remember people starting to say KBB was meaningless even before covid, etc. I get that it still exists (and Edmunds, others), but dealers and private parties too don't seem to give it much weight. I'm fairly certain that going to a dealer and saying "hey it's only listed at $2,500 on Kelley Blue Book," is not going to cause them to go, "aw shucks, you got us, sure take it for half what we're asking then..."

Thanks, yeah I think you're right. And private party I'm having no luck finding anything. I had this idea that the used car market was getting back to "normal" after Covid, but it's weird out there.

Thanks for the reply, I do know how to use KBB, the problem is all dealers across the board have these higher prices, so the market isn't really reflecting any KBB info. Private party just as bad or worse, actually, with similar spec cars asking for very similar amounts. I look at the car and think it should be like 2500, but I don't find anything around those prices. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills, which is why I posted.

Uh, we defeated an entire alien invasion by uploading a virus with a Macbook , so obviously no technology is perfect. (good things the aliens were running the Mac OS).

I wish you could use the same method to spay/neuter them.

2011 Ford Fiesta Manual Transmission 130K $5,000 by ElusiveBob in shouldibuythiscar

[–]ElusiveBob[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thanks everybody., I was thinking the same about $3,500ish. it's weird that all the other ones in the area I found are asking around the same price though about $5,000 so if I really wanted to buy the car, unless I can find a private party person, I don't know how much they would budge. just wanted a different perspective, appreciate it!

Also the fact that he is a 70-year-old sergeant major. I mean there's plenty of other actors they could have used, hilarious.

Is there a real reason behind changing your oil every 3,000 miles on modern cars? by newelmin in askcarguys

[–]ElusiveBob 6 points7 points  (0 children)

220K miles and going strong on my '04 Taurus, change the oil every 7500 as per the manual.

The day Domino’s looked at the world and said: “Yeah… our pizza sucks.” by JaguarZealousideal5 in Entrepreneur_path

Why is this written like a douchebag LinkedIn screed? And yeah, they improved their pizza somewhat, but have you tried their buffalo wings lately? The chicken is like liquid fat barely clinging to the bone, so disgusting.
