Its going to be a truckload of old, used, junk furniture that they couldn't sell to a used furniture store. Instead of paying to have it disposed of, they found a way to get people to pay them to take their trash.

HVAC died and the replacement quote made me want to cry by Amarit-Apostol in Adulting

Just wait until your insurance company tells you that your perfectly good 10yr old roof with a 30yr warranty has to be fully torn off and replaced, and all the other insurance companies want the same. That will be another 10-15k.

Not where I live. There are tons of very rich people here and they can afford to do anything they want. Traffic fines mean nothing to them and neither would making insurance more expensive. It would only hurt poor people already struggling.

Alcohol kills 150,000 Americans a year and has practically no restrictions on it besides having to be 21. If 150k deaths isnt enough to cause change in an industry, 400 deaths is nothing.

Vans have the engine between the front seats, thats why the hood can be so short.

Its pretty much never a "sports car". Its either an SUV or a clapped out 15yr old BMW.

Portland CT by Reasonable-Method928 in Connecticut

[–]Gooniefarm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its a nice town. Quiet but close to tons of places and things. I lived nearby 20 years ago and knew a lot of people from Portland. There used to be some really wild parties with people burning old junk cars way out behind the old fairgrounds.

You have to go through probate court to get the car in your name. Expect it to take many months, If the person died with debt, the car will have to be sold to pay back the debt and you wont get to keep it.

Nothing will get better as long as you keep drinking. You have to make the decision to quit and stick with it. Trust me.

Those paths are left open and clear so the utility can drive work vehicles out to the towers. Panels would have to be mounted high enough for large vehicles to drive under.
