  1. How about somebody get drunk and then killing someone leaving the party. How would you feel for all you who approve of this. Parents would be sueing Gurtler right now.

     

    There you have it. I'm not commenting on the merits of the law, but for him to host a party like that, he is essentially trusting 80 teenagers to be responsible drinkers. He's an idiot.

  2. Teach your wife to mow. Which means safety glasses, gloves, long pants and boots. Nerdy? I suppose. But check out the injury stats - mower injuries are huge.

     

     

    I'll give a big second on this one. I just visited my eye surgeon yesterday and he told me he has two new patients in the last month that suffered serious eye injuries from lawn mower debris.

  3. I attended a Sabres game down here against the Canes last season. At the time we were in the middle of a severe drought in NC. There were serious water restrictions going on at the time, people were being fined $1000 and up in Raleigh if they were caught watering their lawns. Anyway, the classy scoreboard operators at the RBC were putting up messages on the scoreboard that derided the city of Buffalo and Sabres fans. These continual messages led to some some not so friendly jaw jacking back and forth between my group of Sabres fans of various canes "faithful" seated around me. Finally after they put up some very original Buffalo weather jokes on the scoreboard I told the jackass fans around me that along with the horrible weather in Buffalo/WNY they also have an infinite supply of fresh water........ Silence.

  4. I finalized the deal on my 2009 Murano yesterday afternoon. Already have the paperwork (which was faxed to me) and will add it to my insurance right before going in. I got ended up getting the vehicle for $1,090 below the invoice price listed on Edmunds.com. This was without once going to the dealership which I will be purchasing the vehicle at (West Herr Nissan). Mike Barney tried to compete, but couldn't come close on price.

     

    Nice. ;)

  5. Have you used them NC? Went to that web site and looked pretty cool. Now, I am not planning on buying a car anytime soon, and usually buy used when I do, but that site looked great for buying a new car. And, I would think that now is a great time to buy

     

    Yes, I used that system to buy a 2007 Tacoma. I never set foot in a delaership, other than when I was test driving trucks to find out what I wanted. I faxed about 15 dealers near me laying out what I wanted and asked them to make me their best offer. I received legitimate responses from 7 of the 15 that I faxed. I didn't fax the dealer that I had test drove at, but I did give the salesman the opportunity to beat my best offer after I had narrowed it down. I ended up getting the truck I wanted for under invoice. For $40 it is well worth the money, time and aggravation saved. My wife will be up for a new car later this year and I will definitely be using it again.

  6. LOL. That was his first (and probably not only) mistake. You NEVER negotiate on the basis of the monthly payment; it's too easy for them to screw you in other ways while they make you "think" you got a good deal. When I'm buying a car I let the dealer think I'm paying cash until we've agreed on the price. I also negotiate any trade-in separately, and get my own financing set up beforehand. I then give their finance people a chance to match or beat the deal.

     

     

    All good advice, the only further thing I would add is to NEVER walk into a dealership to negotiate the price of a car. Use the Fighting Chance method and the "Fax attack".

  7. see that's why i put in the thread title "Howard Stern vs Dolly Parton...." it really amazes me why people feel compelled to make disparaging comments on things they do not care about or do not like...or I guess "hate". But if you must you must, thanks for the contribution and even more so, bumping this thread up for even more exposure. :devil:

     

    Researcher: The average radio listener listens for eighteen minutes. The average Howard Stern fan listens for - are you ready for this? - an hour and twenty minutes.

    Pig Vomit: How can that be?

    Researcher: Answer most commonly given? "I want to see what he'll say next."

    Pig Vomit: Okay, fine. But what about the people who hate Stern?

    Researcher: Good point. The average Stern hater listens for two and a half hours a day.

    Pig Vomit: But... if they hate him, why do they listen?

    Researcher: Most common answer? "I want to see what he'll say next."

  8. My question about that. First, you pay for EACH model of car you want their service on, correct? So I should be pretty sure between the one or two models I want?

     

    Also, you got offers from 7 dealers? Didn't this require 7 hits on your credit? I'm very cognizant of my credit score now, and I wouldn't want 7 hard hits all at once.

     

    I sent you a PM..

  9. Enjoy, it's one of their best efforts IMO. Cash Box, Cruel Fate, Her Own Kinda Woman and Spanish Highway are among my favorites.

     

    Just checked out Big Head Todd's tour page and it looks like they are playing Thursday at The Square in Buffalo on 9/4. This qualifies as a must see, especially since it's free.

  10. I would again recommend that anyone considering buying or leasing a new car try the Fighting Chance package. From their website:

     

    Perhaps most important, you'll be able to do all your negotiating

    using our "Fax Attack", without going anywhere near a car store!

    (Complete details included, with sample faxes for buying and

    leasing.) We concluded a long time ago that only a fool would

    actually walk into a car store to negotiate the price of a car. Most

    customers tell us the "Fax Attack" information alone is worth the

    price of the entire package because it teaches them how

    to buy a new car the smart way for the rest of their lives.

     

    I used their "Fax Attack" method to purchase a 2007 Toyota Tacoma. I never set foot in a car dealership and had seven solid offers within 24 hours. I eventually got the truck I wanted for $100 under invoice. I didn't even have to go to the dealership to pick it up! The dealer was about a two hour drive from my house so they offered to drive it out to me.

  11. well then you are missing the foo fighters and white stripes to name only a couple...time to move that musical taste out of the 60's...alot has changed and its not all bad :blink:

     

    I said most of them. I like the Foo Fighters and the White Stripes, but I haven't heard their current albums yet. I love new music, I just haven't used FM radio for the past decade to get exposed to it. An early favorite of mine for best of 2008 is from Big Head Todd and The Monsters. You can download it for free from their website.

  12. I havent looked at the list yet, but my question before i do is, how many of these have you listened to? or are you just assuming that they are unworthy? heck i may come back to recant this statement after i look at the list, but i am finding alot of stuff that i used to dismiss because of what others say that I am actually beginning to enjoy.....

     

    The only ones that I have heard on that list are Zeppelin, U2 and the Beatles. As far as the rest, I'd say it's a pretty safe bet I'm not missing anything with most of them.
