Hard as you try, you will never be up to the level of trolling as el gaucho. The difference being there are those times don't know if he is trolling or being serious.
In your case, we always know your posts are full of crap.
That thumping sound you are hearing in the distance is old Enzo beating on his grave trying to get out. If he does, he is going to burn down the factory after he kicks every engineer's arse that had something to do with this.

Morning B-frog. Brisket is so much easier than chicken that you have to keep turning and watching.

Enjoy y’all’s day :cheers:

Good morning OT Cast & Crew. Brisket went into the smoker early this morning. Low and slow is the way to go.
Happy 4th everyone. :USA:
If they don’t sell the car today, I wouldn’t be surprised at all if they call you Monday with a better deal than they offered you previously.

Hi Sally. The trip was awesome! Except for the drive from Sequin through San Antonio. Heavy construction and detours. We took the back roads coming back and it was all good.
The event was great. There were some sad faces and a few tears, but once the stories began and the slide show started, the tears dried up and it turned out to be a great send off.
Saw folks I have not seen in decades. And as expected, the party continued well into the night at the hotel. Nobody kicked out or arrested so it was a good thing. These old guys can still party!
That’s the way I want my send off to go!

Tell her to break down the cost on each item and list its cost. Window etching, fabric, paint protection, nitrogen and tire protection can all be removed from the OTD if you push back and hold firm.
Bed liners, oversized mirrors (bolt on items) can be the exception.

This is where most of the dirty tricks happen if you let it happen.
There are good dealerships out there. Great if you can make a good deal with them. But, always be prepared to walk.

only $35 more a month

Which adds $2500 to the OTD at the end of a 72 month note which has no value whatsoever to the customer.
During Covid when inventory was low I could understand some of the ADM. But now with lots full of vehicles, that excuse is bs and is just pure profit for them.

Daughter 1 and her crew will be headed this way today. Wife is already throwing out the cow meat for my job at the grill tomorrow.

Good morning OT. :cheers:
There are plenty YouTube vids that expose just how unscrupulous and orchestrated some dealers can be.
If you are thinking of a new or used car, it is well worth the time spent to educate yourself on some of their tactics.
The tall ships parade in 1976 in NYC. Our squadron did a lot of dignitary fly overs in the harbor area and it was an awesome sight.
Shot? LoL, no. Lighten up Francis.
Discharged? Absolutely.
There are countless stories of guys that spent their whole paychecks in that place and two weeks later they were back there again.

They have some really nice girls there …

So I have been told. (Is it still there?)
I would have hated to hit either or both of them in the middle of the road and mess up my truck.

Hello FlBooGoTigs. Good attitude to have. I have worked on some holidays so others could have the day off. It usually comes back to you in a good way.
I’ll drink a beer or three for you :cheers:
