$0.10 charge for $0.07 cost is above the norm for this (cough) enterprise. Overall that is, coke or soda excepted. Somebody got to make some money round here!

Ketchup on a hot dog is obscene - but I forgive a person if they also use plenty of mustard. Ketchup only is what very young children do - no one else should be allowed. I have spoken.

I have not had ketchup, mustard, mayo, relish, ranch, etc. in over 40 years. I avoid almost all condiments. I eat my hamburgers and hot dogs plain most of the time. I will occasionally get crazy and add some cheese but other than that it is just meat and bun.

Very bell curvy trip today. Bought in at craps with $150. I play $5 pass with 3 come bets and 2x odds.thus is how the first 3 shooters went. Numbers are made up but the sequence is right.
9,6,5,4,7. -60
6,4,8,7 -40
6,4,9,7 -40
F this I quit.
Walked over to play VP. Lost $150 before I had 600 coin in on quarter JoB/DDB. Wtf this blows.
Figured I would use my $70 free play on nickle multi strike. Plan was to cycle it through once and walk with some cash in my pocket. Hit 4 4s on the 4x line for 3200. Cashed put with my free play at 150 after playing for a long while.
Went back to craps, I was second to shoot. I had my longest roll ever at nearly 60 throws. I hit 4 point fire and had the 4th lit when I sevened out. After 2 hours I walked away with $400. Went back to the same crappy VP game thay killed me earlier. $200 gone in 26 minutes. Went back to my multi strike game with $100 and turned it into $200 after 3 hours of play. I walked out with $302.50 for a $2.50 profit.

Are Nathan Scott and Lucas Scott brothers? Step brothers?
Lucas Scott's house is some sort of restaurant or something?

Has anyone known someone to buy a lemon law reaquired car?
We are looking at buying a Ford Flex limited. We can buy a 2014 with 100k bumper to bumper warranty with 19k miles for $25k or we can buy the same vehicle with 30k miles for $29k. 4 grand plus less miles, been beating myself up all week trying to make the decision.

Quote: GWAEHas anyone known someone to buy a lemon law reaquired car?
I bought one myself almost a decade ago, with very good results. I may have found a better-than-typical opportunity. I did receive a very useful set of history data before making the purchase.
The vehicle is a 2005 Ford Explorer, Eddie Bauer Edition with a V-8 engine. It went to a California dealer in late October 2004 with a sticker price of $37,755. I am not certain of the original date of sale (may have that somewhere), but in June 2005 the vehicle had only 467 miles on it, and the owner was complaining that the car was leaking oil.
It was serviced at the dealer then, again later that month with 714 miles, and again in December with 7622 miles. The dealer made several repairs but apparently could not verify that there was a leak, and the owner then apparently refused to accept the car back. In March 2006, it still had the same mileage on it, and I can only assume that it had been sitting at the dealer's shop for three months.
At that point, the dealer performed a dye test (whatever that entails), found a leak between the engine and transmission, removed the transmission, and found fluid leaking through a porous section of the engine block. They replaced the engine. Turns out that perhaps the complaining customer knew what he was talking about!
By May 2006, the car had 8385 miles and was back in the shop with a complaint of leaking power steering fluid (replaced a failed gasket) and leaking coolant (replaced hose clamps). The customer refused to accept the car again, apparently because of the extensive history, though everything may really have been taken care of by that point. Ford repurchased the vehicle, in June 2006 I think, though I do not know the details of that transaction.
By August 2006, the Vehicle was in Georgia, with an advertised price of $19,800. I purchased it at that price after the dealer added a trailer hitch and trailer brake controller. (At the time, I was on the verge of purchasing a travel trailer but never did.) I believed that Ford had repaired all of the significant issues but had just ticked off the original buyer in the process.
The car now has more than 147,000 miles on it and has never given me any significant problem. The title does carry a notice that the vehicle is a "lemon". If/when I ever decide to sell, I suspect my experience/records will override that fairly well.
If you do plan to purchase such a vehicle, I strongly suggest you check out the full history first.

I know at my dealership, we just straight up just wholesale lemon law cars same with anything funky on the title like a mileage discrepancy, a bonded title, a salvaged title etc. Is it the same vehicle exactly? I understand both are 2014 Ford Flex's, are both the same trim level?

Thank you for that info. Glad to know it is also a ford.
From what I read when they purchase a car back it actually goes back to the factory and they do more extensive testing than the dealership could ever do.
How did you get the entire history? Was that through car fax or is there a report that actually shows all that?

Makes sense. There was a Ford assembly plant just on the south side of Atlanta, near the airport, that operated until late 2006. The car was probably shipped there for testing and then sold to the dealer in Covington, about 40 miles to the east. The dealer gave me a printout of the history.

Loved, loved, loved the Pontiac Aztec when it came out around 2003, with the tailgate/camping package. The back end was shaped funny because it was built both to take a camper screen when the tail was open, and to provide comfortable bumper seating when closed. Beautifully thought-out SUV with every toy I could want; speakers, outlets, grill that hung off the bumper, etc. Got talked out of it when my XL husband was not comfortable in the front seat (either side, but definitely couldn't drive it). Still miss that car, and never even got to own it.
Think it was voted ugliest car since the Edsel about 3 times that year.
Me, I think there are about 5 cars since then far uglier. Ford Flex is one of them. But if the Flex does what the Aztec did for functionality (and it may, I'm not in the market so I don't know), I'd buy it anyway. :) Might be perfect for your little family.
