    How do truckers handle vehicles that pull out in front of them?

    Same in Virginia, landscape, construction, big rigs always dropping rocks. 2 ladies in my office get their windshield replaced at a minimum 2x a year (one busted hers last week and before she got it fixed got a 2nd crack from another rock). We all take the same route home and I see them...

    If You Could Meet Someone From BITOG?

    I used to work for a sports card collectibles magazine. We would bring in old timer baseball/football players to sign autographs. This was my first year out of college and I made $18k at that full time job. One time we brought in Willie Mays and all he did for 3 hours was female dog about how he...

    CBS News ( 7 days old ) : New or Used car sticker shock ...

    Current daily driver is a 2009 Ford Flex with 147k miles. Bought it used in 2012 for $19k with 40k miles on her. When i dispose of it, it will be because my family's lead mechanic (me) can no longer fix whatever ails her.

    CBS News ( 7 days old ) : New or Used car sticker shock ...

    Yes, but it has been a winning game for you lately as markets have risen substantially. I personally have a rather conservative investment setup right now, so earning 4.25% risk free on cash is a no brainer. My 3.5% mortgage is fine because I also like being liquid, but paying 6+% on a car is...

    CBS News ( 7 days old ) : New or Used car sticker shock ...

    Unless I could get a really low APR (3% or less) there is no chance I would ever have a monthly payment on a depreciating asset.

    High mile 4.6 Ford - Ok to use heavier oil?

    Always heard this about the 4.6, but for some reason the Mustangs with this engine were always really fast (for that era). 5.1 seconds 0-60 and excellent low rpm torque.

    Bought a 2004 Saturn Ion MT with 105k miles for $4k. Drove it to 165K, changed spark plugs and oil, thats it. Took it to junkyard when it needed a new clutch and tires. They gave me $400.

    Help with a yes or no answer on a job application

    The hiring manager doesn't care or have the time to analyze whether you tried to beat AI. AI is simply a filtering device and once a human lays eyes on the resume they simply push it on to the next level or decline it. It is what I do about 10 hours a week - only I have stripped out all of the...

    Help with a yes or no answer on a job application

    As the Talent Manager (hiring Manager) for a decent sized company, if someone does not understand a question on an application - I hope that they ask me how to answer it. And yes that is a horribly worded question to put on an application.

Recommend the Ripleys Aquarium, Pelicans baseball game, skywheel, the Gay dolphin (fun shopping place). Nice boardwalk...
