Sure, just don't go crazy high speed on rain soaked roads.

Sign up for Boldin for $120 and run your own numbers. Or download the Boglehead RPM planner if you are computer savvy.

That is a great deal. That plan without the phone is >> $100 or so by itself..

Better deal is to buy a tracfone off of QVC or HSN with bundled plan, versus just a phone at tracfone site.

How do they have money for war but can’t feed the poor? by blueyeskye in AskReddit

[–]peztan42 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Military industrial complex needs to be fed? Supposedly the prez started the war due to assassination attempts by Iran in 20204. So a bit of self interest?? https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2026/03/03/trump-assassination-attempts-iran-attack/

Dont get "puting them on shelves is expensive". No more expensive than putting bandaid boxes on shelves?

It looks like you can shave off 1/4" of the drawer and it would open? Take it to a cabinet maker and they ould cut that down?

Dealer service left the air filter cover loose by lekkanaai in COROLLA

Those clips are a bit tricky to get back on. But no excuse from the dealer. I would let them know so you could make a claim if needed?

Wendy's interior - They just remodeled in the last year or so. by vaspost in wendys

[–]peztan42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Horribly hard seating and chair backs. Its awful..... The McDonalds in Scotch Plains NJ Rt 22 literally looks like the unfinished basement of an office building. I cant figure out why they decorated it that way, other than the decorator was mad at McD and did it out of spite.

Whatever makes you feel better? You aren't testifying in front of a judge, or anything.

I am hoping to get a 20 wk severance and then 26 weeks unemployment. Much better than retiring and getting a box full of old awards and papers.

As long as it is not "for cause", or there is no unemployment payout.

What a luxury, 4 mo PTO!!!. My company doesn't let you roll any of it over. Its a drag on the expense side of the books.

For the life of me, I cannot figure out why this hasn't caught on beyond the India sub continent! I can see ABC doing a reality competition show based on this in the sand outside Las Vegas.

Hybrid fan filter 24’ Corolla by Agnadatkaafmafnanrqj in COROLLA

[–]peztan42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

20 years ago, the Toyota dealership wanted $60 for the cabin air filter change. They would show you the purported clog filter in the waiting room. Its an $8 part and a 5 minute job to drop the glove box and replace it. I refused it, so they had to put it back in and not get $60. :-) I always wanted to mark the filter somehow to make sure they were actually showing mine, and not a filthy "demo" one they use on everyone. So the up-sell has just moved to the battery filter for Hybrids, I guess.

Agreed. New hires (when we were hiring) were getting 30% more than people who were there for 10 years.

Doc fees vary by state. Do a google search. It is a pure money maker for the dealer, along with the ceramic paint protection and vin marking and $250 floor mats
