Downshift, can you move your axles forward at all?

It sounds like they should just buy whatever SUV they want for daily driving and get a big old beater truck for towing. You can buy a running 1997-2003 F150 for like $4,000, or better yet, get an old F250/Expedition for a little more. Then they don't have to worry about tearing up their brand new car by towing something they shouldn't and it'll be much safer for everyone else on the road with them.

One time on I-10 around Prarieville, I saw a trailer come unhooked from a truck, cross the interstate median, go right through a gap in the safety fence and t-bone an oncoming small pickup truck. It was not pretty and was fatal. You don't want to mess around with towing.
I have a feeling they didn't pull over that 18 wheeler just by chance.
Someone please explain to me what the hell that guy is doing to make those roofs look so good

Let's see if SEZL follows the same format. Earnings came out today, they were great and the stock tanked 33%. Let's see if it goes back up tomorrow. It's been a great stock for me. I was up like 120% over the last 6 months.
Could you levee it off, plant corn and then flood it?
If you're interviewing brokers/RIA's, then you're looking in the wrong profession. You need a very good CPA, a tax attorney and probably an estate attorney.
I buy my refrigerant off of Facebook Marketplace.
It doesn't sound like it's open to the public. I think they already have the 15 teams lined up.

How do they get the volume out of one 6x9 speaker?

What are the scratched panels made of? Steel, aluminum, plastic?

I would either get a Duplicolor pen to temporarily cover it so that it doesn't rust or at the very least cover it with some painters tape.
I thought that truck looked familiar.

How many square feet is it? I assume it's one story?

I got in a few months ago at $250. That was after I heard that they were sold out through 2026. It's been great since then.

Is there a reason you ran chkdsk /f and not chkdsk /r ?
They really should change the laws in the US to mandate minimum wage for servers. The restaurants will have to increase their prices to compensate but then the tip will actually be for good service and not just subsidizing their wages. The whole system is bass ackwards. There's too much room for someone to get screwed.
Franchise agreements are so skewed in favor of the franchisor, that they can basically do whatever they want to their franchisees. I just went through this and no matter how right you are, they can always find a way to screw you if they want to. They have all the power and it's pretty sickening.

A lot of franchised companies are also dealing with corporate getting bought out by private equity. Then everything becomes about growing as fast as they can and their turnover becomes atrocious. You become a very small cog in a very large wheel.
You might have to get quotes from a bunch of HVAC companies before you find one that actually knows what their doing and actually gives a shite. 90% of them don't.
With floors that old, I'd be worried that the closed cell foam is going to cause flooring issues. I hope not, but Paul Lagrange always has people calling into his home improvement show because of buckled floors after sprayed insulation. I'd want to get the HVAC issues figured out first in case you need to add any returns or whatever else under the house. Probably too late at this point.
