Detailed the Yukon and the Camaro yesterday. My wife and I went in different directions after we were done cleaning then met up for lunch later. When I pulled up next to her I thought this was kind of a cool shot. Camaro reflection in the side of the Yukon.

Someone put a note under one of the wiper blades on my truck. I didn't appreciate that. I wouldn't go monkey with someone else's vehicle.

I agree with them, the pictures you’ve posted of it are pretty nice!

Bought a lightly used 500 this weekend. I drove small cars most of my 40 years in the Copier business, company supplied. I was looking for something small, nailed it lol. Didn’t want the Abarth version because I feel like those probably got the crap beat out of them. Only must have was the fully retractable top. I’ll find some different wheels and call it good. Although I am going to have to figure out something with the drivers seat, I’d like it to recline a tad bit more.

I should have taken the picture in the sun, it’s a really bright white

We had an Abarth with the retractable top. It's a cool option. Very easy to operate. The thing about the Abarth was that for such a little car it got lousy mileage. But it was fast as all get out. That little guy could move. I bought my daughter a 500. She lives in the city and needs a small car. She hasn't had any problems with it.

And it had really good brakes.I almost wrecked it on the way home from the dealer. I was going about 60 mph and I looked up and saw traffic dead stopped in front of me. I slammed on the brakes in the rain and thought that there was no way that I could stop in time. But it did it. A little shaking but it stopped. I was so relived. I didn't want to wreck a brand new car 10 minutes after my wife bought it. That wouldn't go over well.

A pic of our Abarth when it came home after a huge rainstorm. Without a scratch.

Shaking? You, or the car.... or both?

Both for sure.

The freeway was wide open and I was fiddling with the knobs and such figuring out where everything was like you do with a new car and looked up to brake lights. I had maybe 30 yards to go from 60 to 0 on a wet road. I thought that there is no way that I'm going to be able to stop. So I just jammed on the brakes and hung on and waited for the crash. The anti lock brakes are what caused the car to shake. But they worked. It stopped straight and didn't skid. I had about a half a car length between me and the car in front of me when I stopped and that was just fine with me.

I live in an old house about the same age. Insurance companies can be crappy about insuring old homes, like they really don't want to insure them. I've never had one throw unreasonable rates at me, but the one sent a letter stating they were not renewing me about a month before renewal time. Reason was "debris on out building roof". The cedar shakes on my barn had moss on them. I liked it but if that was a problem I could put a new roof on. They didn't give me much time and didn't give that as an option. Just we're not renewing you, and I never had a claim. Ok, no problem, I just gave another insurance company the opportunity to take my money. The shakes stayed on there 15 or more years until last fall

They are terrible with rental property too. When I rented out my house out they sent a jerk out to take pictures of all that was wrong with my house. One of which was a brand new shed that I had just had built. The reason? It had a tree branch over it. They said to move it or cut down the tree.

The 60 year old tree is huge. And it's beautiful. I'm not cutting it down. And the shed is on a concrete slab.It's not going anywhere. I told them that I would sign a waiver that if a branch hit the shed that I wouldn't file a claim. It was exempt. It would be my problem... Not good enough. They cancelled me. I had just spent a lot of money remodeling that place. There was nothing wrong with it. The insurance company just didn't want to insure it. Fine. I just found a new company. No problem. And they were cheaper. (Insert middle finger here).

I'll look for a better rate on this place. I just have to get it bought. There is another buyer gunning for it. But they seem weak. I've thrown everything I can at it. Now its just a waiting game of who gets it. My realtor says we've got it but it's not over until it's over.
