If you have a 3.5 ton, why not get a 3.5?


Probably bc 3.5 is oversized and short cycling and thus causes high humidity as well as shortens the life of the unit.

Inventory could have come into play.


Correct. Also, the car at the out of town place may have been on the lot 90+ days while the in town dealer just got that unit.

In town dealer hasn’t had the opportunity to find a full MSRP buyer yet.

I park in the pickup spots and always available. Just about as close as a handicap (which I would never park in one). I’m not gonna park farther away so lazy people can park close to have someone deliver their shite to them while they sit in AC.


Exactly. The pickup spots should be farthest from the store, not closest. The close spots should benefit the customer, not the employees.
Enron, seriously


Had several friends who worked for them right after graduating. They’d always brag about how great a company it is, great money, 401K going through the roof, etc. Guess I got the last laugh on that one. :cheers:

Cause they are renewals not new taxes dumbass


What is the root word of renew? Dumbass?

I’ll help you out. The old tax ended. So they voted on a NEW tax to replace it.

Mind boggling to me why people would vote for new taxes.

I live in EBR so I have 3 tax renewals on the ballot... 1 for the library, 1 for BREC, & 1 for the Council on Aging


No to all three for me.

but I can't recall any business that requires payment only by credit card.


Most youth sporting events (entry and concessions) are card only.
LSU athletics concessions is card only.
Hell, even Superior Grill is card only now.

I thought it 100% went to the kids if no will? Eta: In Louisiana


Correct. In Louisiana, absent a will, the stepmother would only have usufruct. After she dies, it would go to your father’s surviving children.

I’ve seen this many times where the surviving spouse tries to give assets to her family that they only had usufruct of. Courts shut that down instantly.

I’ve bought several. Usually meet them at their office. No issues.

Agreed. Only time I went I was rushed bc I had my young son with me. I need to go back and do it right.

Another thing to keep in mind is that 5w30 will protect better than 0w20. The reason that its specs for that oil is cafe regulations for fuel economy to not get fined in America.not for protection sake


True. The 0w20 is just recommended to meet cafe like you said. It’s only designed to get the engine though the warranty period, not the 250,000 miles the engine was engineered to endure.

I got my last one from Huntfield Labs out of Mississippi. They only do British Labs. I just use mine as a house dog, but she is a wonderful dog and great with kids.

There’s a place in Plaquemine that this is all that they do and they have people lined up all day long. I guess they will still have business inspecting commercial vehicles but it seems like it will definitely affect their business and the business of people like them.


Good. They serve no public service. The whole thing is a government jobs program scam.

Throw it in the trash just like you can with the unconstitutional red light camera tickets.

Could the state get sued over this?


Perhaps, but where do you think the state gets its money from? Taxpayers. The taxpayers would literally be suing themselves.
