Florida or Illinois? Not surprised anyway though.

I had that position at Toy's "R" Us for some of the time I was there Harry.............and I HATED, HATED!!!!!!!, working service desk! The people that would lie to your face, or expect to return stuff from Target or Wal-Mart (with those stores' tags still on the product!) was unbelievable, and then, so long as we carried it, I would be told by a manager to just take it back! I had no problems going out and collecting stinky garbage bags, sweeping goose dropping out of the parking lot, cleaning the bathrooms, unloading trucks, stocking shelves, ect, but I hated the service desk with a fiery passion!

I mentioned it to my boss today, he suggested using ones that are labeled as "chemical resistant", apparently he has no issues with them on the saltwater aquarium he has in the back of the store.

That's the weird part, they,ve been in an ammo box (with an air tight seal), tool box or just sitting in my bedroom and covered in some way and they haven't been outside in the cold since last winter.

Been working on some of my R/C stuff and half of the zip ties I've used broke off at the head when pulled tight, usually when tying wires to each other. Not sure if Lowes had a bad batch, if they're junk no matter what, or if the plastic has become brittle over the last couple years.

Meh, not a fan.

Lol, I hear you Diesel, I wonder about how much of the Dubai skyline I help fund over the last decade.

.19/gal ain't gonna pay for much, especially as mileage improves and electrics emerge, even if DieselDog lived here in the US, he couldn't pay for infrastructure all on his own

Hate to say it, but with the condition our roads and bridges are now in, we may need that gas tax just to get us back to where we were 40 years ago.

The Deltawing car was running strong, but unfortunately, they had to retire after an unfortunate collision with a stalled car in the middle of turn one.

Saw an Audi R8 out in the wild for the first time, kind left me..............Kinda Meh.........................

Lol, I'm kinda curious if the cashier understood which kind of Vet you meant, I can see that working both ways.

There might be a good reason you have to ask for your senior discount, Bill. We had gone to Silver Dollar City a number of times until Mom's medical issues got to be too bad and on one visit, Dad had an interesting conversation with a cashier that was nearly as old as he is on the matter. Apparently he had a funny way of asking Dad about wanting his discount and he ended up telling Dad that one time when he came right out and asked a woman who was obviously old enough to get one, she got highly offended and actually raised a stink over it! Sounds like they had to be creative in asking after that.

Topped my 200 off with just plain old 87 octane regular after work tonight at the BP near the store, $1.51 a gallon!

Not like someone younger can't buy a fake ID, or as one of the otuer students at my HS did, used his legal aged brother's ID, with big bro's permission of course.

Honestly Harry, our gas taxes have been a joke for a looooong time compared to every other country in the world. I think the federal tax is $.19/gal, as is the Illinois State Gas/Gasahol Tax. Not sure about in DuPage or Kane County, but if you fill up on Cook County, that bumps it a bit more. State tax alone, we're actually cheaper than Iowa ($.21) or Wisconsin ($.32.9?!)! http://www.illinoisgasprices.com/tax_info.aspx

I'm going to have to forward this to my boss in the morning, we've sold a couple of their Aventadors prior to Christmas.

Dangit G

Wow, another one gone, gotta admit though, almost all the ones who have gone so far, they have lead long-ish lives!

We need a like button just for Agent G's posts here, lololol

I'm waiting until next year, after who ever wins the election gets settled into office, wouldn't be surprised if they go up shortly after that.

Now that I'm home from work and on my laptop, here's some real info on the Pacifica. http://www.allpar.com/model/m/2017.html

The Chrysler Minivan, didn't realize it was going to start page 3 on that post.

They've already got John Bonham up there, should be good for now!

Check out Allpar Charlie, it's now being called the Pacifica for some stupid reason.
