I took today off work (I seriously despise the saccharin crap that goes on in the office every year for Valentine's Day and I wanted nothing to do with it today) and I have spent much of last night and the day today emailing and talking on the phone with a handful of dealerships. I was...

Okay, so THAT explains the freaky number of squad cars I saw on my little grocery outing at Albertsons a few hours ago! Holy CRAP! Whoever sees updates on the Register site or wherever, please keep us posted.

Thanks everybody for all your insight. I will definitely go to Carmax to do more due diligence on reasonable trade-in values on my old clunker. My problem is the car that I really, truly want to buy isn't available in a 2008 model......or a 2009 model! It's only a 2010 model. (Can you...

I just found <a href="https://mv.dmv.ca.gov/FeeCalculatorWeb/newVehicleForm.do">the calculator</a> I was looking for and your 10% was pretty darn closed: The trade-in cost issue is exactly why I plan on doing it this way - walking in with a pre-filled money order. They can charge me...

I'm soliciting quotes from dealerships but they're only giving me the price for the car. I plan on walking in with a money order made out to the dealership; you take this check, my Volvo trade-in, and I take the car. So I'm going to get a Kelley Blue Book estimate for my trade-in, a...

Okay I've been avoiding answering this because it's so embarassing. I was born in Connecticut and grew up in New Jersey. The central shore, to be exact. And let me just clarify a few things before any of you clowns step in with "Joisy Goil" commentary: 1. I do NOT have big hair. (Well...

Uh, yeah...so I'm up here in my hotel room hanging out in the IHB Forums, not doing anything fun with my new conference friends. I have an upstanding reputation to maintain on IHB, thank you very much! :snake: ...I know you're right about the atmosphere in a hotel during a conference and so I...

Okay gang, please scratch everything I have been lamenting about (my inability to attract male attention). I am up in San Jose right now at a meeting in a hotel for the week. It's only Wednesday and I have been hit on by no less than FOUR men! It had been so many years that I had forgotten...

"This is America. We don't disparage wealth. We don't begrudge anybody for achieving success. And we believe that success should be rewarded. But what gets people upset ? and rightfully so ? are executives being rewarded for failure. Especially when those rewards are subsidized by U.S...

My son has a "Glad" and a "Sad" jar. Each night if he's been good he gets to move one jingle bell over from the Sad jar into the Glad jar. When he's bad I threaten him with moving one or more bells backward. On occasion I have done so. When he fills up the Glad jar he gets to buy a toy. So...

Purple: don't worry, there are no expectations regarding skills for Shetland 6 year olds. My son is also going to play Shetland this spring - maybe our kids will be on the same team!

Oh ugh ugh ugh! Dark, musty, smelly, dank, with twists and turns. No, it's got to be in the Great Outdoors to satisfy my itch.

Here is the entire (brief) article from the wsj: The Realtors and analysts who said the top of the housing market would be immune to the rest of the market's travails have now mostly given up. Most agree high-end homes have followed the rest of the market into the tank. But what if...

I'm way ahead of ya'll, kids! I regularly hike Peters Cyn, both alone and with the OC Hiking and Backpacking Club. I agree, the roller coasters in the Tustin Ranch section are kick-ass although you do have to be very careful when you are rubber-necking staring into the huge backyards of these...

Move. IAC sucks. They're just trying to make extra money off you because they think you won't move out due to the hassle.

I used to live in Arlington, TX. Other than the fact that Texas is a vast wasteland of flatness, hail, nail salons, and mega-churches, I enjoyed living there for several reasons at that time. One of the good things was the stadium at University of Texas, Arlington. Before work every day (I...

OMF'ing God, this is funny.

Okay, you got me there. Yikes!!!
