    Ford Removing Features from New Cars

    I appreciate your point. You missed my point - my point is the "de-contenting" to make money. Two ways to make more money - charge more for the same product or service OR charge the same but provide less of the service or product. Which one do you think is happening here? It's the...

    Ford Removing Features from New Cars

    https://www.thestreet.com/automotive/ford-is-taking-away-a-convenient-feature-no-one-uses The last paragraph in this story gives me "vibes" of the heated seat subscription (BMW) and key fob subscription (Toyota) "ideas". This type of "income optimization", or squeezing of the consumer for...

    F-22 “mishap” at Savannah, GA airport

    It doesn't look bad from the picture for sure. And it appears the canopy is still there, so no ejection?

    Sad day ... physical problems regarding doing my own maintenance

    To the Op, sorry to hear about this for you. Take your time and work yourself back into the best shape you can. Maybe your doctor can subscribe physical therapy for you so you can start on your way. Loss of mobility is a very big deal. Also, the most dangerous thing I see regarding this is...

    Gonna try to pick up this gem at auction…

    Last time I went there you have to have a current SC dealer license in order to purchase. No license, no bidding allowed - wouldn't even let me in the yard.

    Funny quote about the A340

    The QUOTE: Oddly enough for a passenger aircraft, the A340 was believed to be somewhat underpowered and acquired a reputation of being slow. “It was the only plane to be hit by bird strikes from behind,” jokes Richard Aboulafia, an aviation analyst at Aerodynamic...

    AAA and alternatives

    You know, that's an excellent question. Don't we have some insurance guys on the forum? Maybe they could chime in on this. I do know that my nearby neighbor was robbed twice in five years, and he had USAA. He was dropped after the second robbery - received a certified letter telling him...

    AAA and alternatives

    Here is an example from my 52 page report ( Lexis/Nexis): This first one is for $58.00. Every, single, claim - is on this Lexis/Nexis report. Regardless of how small. This is even one for zero dollars, where I called in to mention that my daughter (the same one above) was broadsided by a...

    AAA and alternatives

    Yes, it goes against your insurance. I posted in another thread about Lexis/Nexis reports. I pulled mine and every insurance call (lock-outs that my kids did) was on the Lexis/Nexis report. So yes, it is reported and tracked - at least by USAA.

    AAA and alternatives

    To the OP's question - I had USAA and I just bought AAA premium (I'll explain more below). Here's the review of the situation I posted on one of the services for the tow rating: "I very highly recommend this towing company. He restored my belief that there are still good tow operators out...

    2018 Transit transmission replacement costs

    The cost to repair is able to be written off as an expense. The new vehicle will be a depreciating asset (DDB maybe?). Anyway, cost in the long run versus short term is still better to repair unless you are a publicly traded company with quarterlies. Of course, that's IMO. YMMV

    Can a South Carolina 'Total Loss - Salvage' be sold in another state

    I would call DMV in Aiken, SC and check. Or maybe sell only to SC residents who can get the vehicle title transferred, registered, and licensed. What you mention about the "total loss" really is subjective based on the insurance company and has no bearing on the usability of a vehicle...
