I once had a dealership put the wrong size tires on my car, which I didn't find out until a year later after getting a nail in one. A hyundai dealership put the wrong size tires on a hundai. They tried to blame me for it. I had to put in a decent fight, but eventually after a long conversation with the wife of the owner of this mega-dealership, I got every penny back for those tires. I probably could have gotten even more if I really wanted to. Thanks to those too small tires, I wound up putting more mileage on my car than I actually drove that year. And then there's the safety concerns. But yeah, every single time I'm in for those free oil changes (different dealership), I love sitting back and watching while they try to upsell something on every single customer there for maintenance.

They really take you to town with those "free" oil changes. You're required to stick to their maintenance schedule and they'll nickel and dime you for everything. I remember one time I was in for one of those. They wound up charging me a crazy sum for a new set of windshield wipers without telling me ahead of time. I had just put new wipers on the car one day earlier. They wouldn't even give me back the old ones, so on top of their stupid price, I was also out the money I just paid the day before. Who sticks to a schedule for changing wipers? Whenever they start getting streaky, you replace them.

I’m amazed that the Cardinals are valued that low given the size of that market. Have they been bounced around a lot like the Coyotes were?

It looks like it was a quick one too.

Johnny Gaudreau and Brother Matthew Killed by Drunk Driver
shrader replied to aristocrat's topic in The Aud Club
The family has no case for that. As cold as it may sound, he is not able to honor the terms of his contract, so it doesn’t pay out. The injury stuff you’re mentioning only matters when it is hockey related. This one is not. That said, it probably doesn’t matter much to the family. You’d have to imagine he was a very sizable life insurance policy, beyond the minimum level stuff provided by the league. They’re hurting for a very long time, but it won’t be due to money. -
Carolina defers part of Jarvis salary, are the flood gates open?
shrader replied to tom webster's topic in The Aud Club
What wasn’t clear to me from reading the link is whether or not that deferred money ever hits the cap in the future. If it doesn’t, this loophole will get closed pretty quickly. Deferring is fine, but they’ll change the cap calculation to include it. -

I’m sure they’ll do something, but can you really blame the team store for something that has been on their shelves for a while now? -

I had to Google what that is. The only images coming up in my search, wouldn’t there be way more than 2 people involved? -
Music television?

The last death of an active NHL player was also Columbus and right before a wedding (unless I'm forgetting about any other death since then). Someone needs to give this organization a break. -

I'd guess that the SUV moved over to shield the bikers a bit, maybe annoying Higgins a bit. And he cut back into the lane quickly after passing, right into the bikes. I hate speculating, but that's what it sounds like to me. -

What a horrible story. And then you see the wedding information a few minutes later. -
Did he seriously take a picture of his computer screen?

We have these stupid two lane u-turn lanes instead of left turns on the main road in my town. Dumbasses will change lanes in the middle of the u-turn with a car directly next to them. I got run off the road this morning and the f-er never even batted an eye as I laid on the horn.

The real funny part would be if that contract never comes through and then he does wind up with the Buffalo PTO.
-
What wording would you use for what you do on/with Google?
-
And on another note, why would any player choose a PTO over an actual contract?

Can I get a translation on “wadr “?

I’m riding in a bus down the highway to the airport in Boston. It’s crazy looking down at cars and seeing that pretty much every other driver is on their phones. We just keep getting dumber and dumber by the second. People always say Idiocracy, but I think we’ll blow well past that.

I’m too lazy to check but I’m sure it’s edited by now. Get it out fast, fact check later.

I think an intern is getting fired. It also says the kings drafted him.

We have been up in the mountains of NH the last few days. Yesterday, a mother black bear ran through our backyard with three cubs. The awesome part is that none of us were out there. It probably would have looked like a scene from cocaine bear.

We had a group of teens probably about 8 years ago that were firing off fireworks in broad daylight in a public park behind us. They then went through my neighborhood and shot them at houses. When people came out to stop them, they sped off down a dead end street with no outlet. So we’re all laughing at them waiting for them to come back out. I had actually been cleaning up nails in my yard from a ***** siding company so I had a pocket full of nails. I thought about that homemade nail strip but decided against it. Everyone had the plate and the cops called already so the kids were toast already. When these geniuses came back through, they went back to that park they started in. Guess what? No outlet there either. They wound up abandoning the car and running. The cops really struggled to figure out who they were since that was the only car in the entire parking area. kids are dumb and mostly harmless… until they start shooting fireworks at the window of a sleeping infant.

Everyone’s kids are perfect little angels. I know because they all tell me.
