It looks like I’m less than 1 mile from the blue center line, but well within the orange lines. Close enough? Or should I walk to be dead center?

Great topic! I’ll add Hot Wheels cars & set when they first came out around 1968 Later, a Cox .049 Baja Buggy gas powered car!

I wish I could just let things like this go as others have suggested. But I would be asking for a meeting with the store manager & employee to discuss the details of the report they filed. While reviewing the security footage.

Just to make sure, I’m gonna hot glue a layer of Cheetos to my helmet. OP, glad you’re ok.

Look at it this way: you are not really spending that money, you are just parking it there. It has value should you ever chose to sell it, & if you could find good used equipment, you might be able to retain value without depreciation.

Pretty sure I heard of this phenomenon several years ago.

Seems like it used to be common courtesy to at least write it out the 1st time, the use the acronym after that. Not so much anymore. Luckily I’m familiar with PPF, but many of the others frustrate me. That said, I have a ZL1 that has a couple problem spots protected �� .

I’m sorry but I have to agree with QS. Those costs are incurred by most businesses, yet seem to be profitable at less than 1/2 that rate. While it is a somewhat skilled trade, it doesn’t require both workers to have extensive experience. Your auto repair shop has all those items as overhead...

I look at the house itself as more of an investment. You’re not spending the money away, you’re just investing it elsewhere. The big question for me would be how much the tax bill would increase. That is spent money. 700k in my area would have a significant tax burden.

Don’t think I agree with your painters. My first house (30+ years ago) was an ugly faded yellow aluminum sided fixer-upper. I went to my local Benjamin Moore dealer & asked if I could paint it. He recommended a particular paint & my wife picked out the colors, & I painted the siding, soffits &...

The other elephant in the room is that a dirty filter actually filters BETTER. The larger pores in a filter naturally clog first and the smaller pores to do a better job filtering. Notice all the dirt is on the outside of the filter. Why is that a problem? So the real answer is the filter does...
