    Crazy to consider a high mileage Ford Flex Ecoboost?

    I have a N/A 2014 Flex SEL FWD with all the trimmings and I love it as a daily ride. Mine has about 87k miles on it. I bought it with 68k miles and knew it had spent its entire life in the dry, salt and ice free Arizona climate. It must have been garaged or kept out of the sun because the paint...

    Authentic military MRE’s: expiration date and favorites.

    These MRE’s have been stored in my dry, basement on a shelf, mid 50’s in winter and maybe it reached up to 70ish in the summer during a heat wave for a day or two every year. I discovered some videos on U-tube about These and they have raised my curiosity. The outer bag is certainly sturdy and...

    Authentic military MRE’s: expiration date and favorites.

    We were cleaning out our basement and came across a box of military MRE’s. They were given to my son back in ~2004 by a leader in the Civil Air Patrol squadron that he belonged to. Then they were put away and forgotten. The box had a selection of the various offerings. See picture. What...

    Overthinking almost everything

    Overthinking! I see you have spent some time in a diner with my wife looking at an 8 page menu, her trying to decide what to order. Usually it ends up with her asking the server girl/kid which of two items is better and then the kid says she’s a vegan and doesn’t eat meat and the process...

    American Flag Placement - Opinions?

    Looks great! Personally I’d go to the next larger size. It needs to be readily accessible so you can take it down at sundown, or lit at night.

    This is me sometimes.

    I always wanted a pet skunk as a kid and I still would take one in today as a pet. Skunk could sit with me in the garage pondering my next project but nobody else there would be my preference.

    This is me sometimes.

    This describes my situation sometimes. Anyone else do this?

    Proper use of "They're, there, and their"

    Not always clearly given, I had an old leaky wooden boat for a bit and I named it the “HMS Incontenance” both he’s and she’s leak a bit when they get old. My wife never forgave me!

    Proper use of "They're, there, and their"

    “Statue” of limitations will be soon be enacted (erected?) on this thread. 😉

    Proper use of "They're, there, and their"

    ‘Let me ax you a question” is the one that make my ears hurt.

    Proper use of "They're, there, and their"

    So if I named my boat “Their” then this sentence makes grammatical sense: They’re there on the Their.

    Carvana is now in the new car business.

    It only has Stelantis car under the new banner for the present. Remove all the lookup restrictions and specific models and I’ll bet you see a bunch of Jeeps and Rams. Or maybe not…

    Carvana is now in the new car business.

    I went looking at Carvana for a used pickup truck and when I log into my account there is a new slider option for only showing NEW cars. Never saw this before. No delivery fee is claimed and they say I could have the car delivered to my house in a couple of days. Carvana doesn’t charge added...

    I retired my team logo baseball cap.

    Years ago I bought a bright red official style (wool) baseball cap at a minor league ballpark (Augusta Green Jackets) and the logo on the front is from the 1930’s Negro league team Kansas City Monarchs. Not certain but I think Satchel Paige played on that team. When I wear it now the Red...

    Has anyone here used Carvana ?

    As someone who has direct experience with them, and not going by rumor, I can attest that my experience selling them my Audi A6 for north of 18k was seamless. They had a cashiers check for the full amount in the pickup folder, he showed it to me. I signed the back of the title as the seller and...

    The first customer I've ever fired

    My mom got like this guy for the last year before we knew something was really wrong. Arguing with anyone and doing the “I’ll call the cops on you” to a repair guy when it was clear the guy was just waiting for a part to arrive to fix the appliance. She could not process that, just that it was...

    Found firearm in dealership loaner

    States vary in wild ways. In NJ, possession of hollow point ammunition outside your home or at the range or on the way to the range or gun store will get you certain jail time. I’d bet that self defense gun is loaded with hollows. In NJ, I’d park it in the street, lock it, and go to the...
