You've got to remember that the scammer sits at his computer and probably has software that does this 24 hours a day. About a year ago, I posted an ad on Craigslist for an item that would only be wanted for this area. Within minutes of posting the ad, I was hit with "I want it NOW" replies that...

I'm lucky enough to have a cousin who does body work. He lives out in the country and does enough work that he mixes his own paint right at his shop. He gave me a tour of his paint mixing facility a couple of weeks ago.

The scammer tells the seller to keep the $10K, but send the extra $5k back to him. So the seller deposits the check thinking he has $10K in the bank for himself. He then sends the $5K back to the scammer and later realizes that he is out of his deposit money, PLUS the $5K he sent to the scammer.

That is exactly what I meant. Again, the highest is "Thunderstruck". https://www.hits96.com/whats-the-most-expensive-song-to-license-for-a-movie-or-tv-show/

They were both. Myself and a few college roomies saw them back in their heyday. Heavy face makeup, dozens of bras being thrown up on the stage and our ears were ringing for quite some time. The most memorable part of the concert was them having the guitars shoot fireworks up in the air out of...

I recently heard that if you want to use the song "Thunderstruck" in any airplay, it is priced the highest of any song.

In my wild and crazy days, I actually saw KISS in concert. I sometimes make jokes about my failing memory, but I just don't remember ever seeing Alice Cooper on stage while watching the band KISS. :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: BTW, I recently gave my daughter (who has become a vinyl freak) a...

I would actually store oil in a cheap tote that the hardware stores sell. Because I have seen oil containers actually leak long before they should have. The worst? (For me, anyway) Peak oil that Dollar General had on sale about 10 years ago. Most containers seeped after a few years. The best? I...

If I purchased a mother's day card for my wife, she would be angry that I wasted money on something that will be thrown away very soon. I will be baking her an honest-to-goodness cheesecake later today. I didn't forget about her.

And that's why I sometimes have to ask for them when they keep them behind the counter.

The local O'Reilly stores give out the transparent oil change stickers. Sometimes you have to ask for them as they have them hidden behind the counter. Other times, they have them on a roll next to the oil change supplies.

Well, here it is. The truck really is a Sally Rand. (A stripper :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: ) It's not an extended cab, it has crank windows and there's no cruise control. But the AC works and it rides nice. It has a bed liner and a tow hitch. Since the seller is a former high school...

I grew up on a farm where we raised just about all of what we ate. We always had fried chicken on Sunday....from the chickens we butchered on Saturday. Anyway, we ate beef from the stock that we raised and drank raw milk from the cows that we milked. Really nothing went to waste and that...

I live in northeast Kansas, but about three years ago I bought a 2005 Ford Explorer in Amarillo, Texas while visiting Texas in-laws. The seller said it was his daughter's vehicle, but "she just didn't like it and wouldn't drive it." And there was proof of that. There were some Taco Bell pouches...

Yea, a couple of years ago I wouldn't have given a plugged nickel for their stock. I haven't used Carvana myself, but I have two stories about them. First, my brother bought a vehicle from them about 3-4 years ago. That surprised me, as he is pretty much old school. He said the experience was...

Okay, to set this up, I recently saw a local ad for a 2007 Ford F150 with 53K miles. The ad was placed by a former high school classmate. I called him up, shot the breeze a few minutes and went to look at it. The first thing I noticed was that the 2007 just happened to be a 2009. The classmate...

I changed oil in my John Deere zero turn with a Kawasaki V-twin and this is what came off. Looks like an e-core with metal caps. I refilled it with John Deere 10W-30 oil and I replaced the filter with the exact same number. The dealer threw in a filter and a couple of quarts of oil, so that was...

My kid drives a 2005 Chevy Trailblazer with the 4.2/6 and lives about three hours away. I went to visit him a couple of days ago and it needed an oil change. I took off the SuperTech filter (previously installed by me) and replaced it with an STP from his local Autozone. My intent was for me to...

My daughter lives in Phoenix. About a 1 1/2 or 2 years ago, my wife and daughter used Waymo for a ride. It also was Jaguar-badged. My wife took a video of their ride and showed it to me. The event was....non-eventful. :cool: My daughter has used it a few times, but there have been a few...

Decades ago, the Chevy Vega was getting a real bad rap for their linerless aluminum-silicon block. I remember that just about every man's magazine out there had advertisements for re-sleeved Vega blocks. My cousin had one at that time. IIRC, the GM warranty on the engine was good until 36K...
