I do like the look of the Teslas but I'm not ready for an EV yet. I really wish Tesla's model of no show room or pushy salesman would trickle to the rest of the manufacturers. That is one of parts I'm trying to avoid.

I am looking to buy a new car. I have looked at local dealer websites, Cars-com and Auto Trader-com & Cargurus-com. The local dealers have insane DOC fees (999.00), dealer add ons and they don’t have it in the color and options I want. So, I think this purchase will have to come from out of state. Does anyone know of another national car website other than the 3 above? Has anyone ordered a new car from the factory? Has anyone used an auto broker before? My brother-in-law swears by them. Anyone have any other thoughts? Thanks for your help!

My favorite: "Hello, we can get you a low rate on credit cards because you make all of your payments" Me: That sounds great I could use some help I have like 6 cards. Them: "but first we need to pay off your old credit cards. Which card # would you give us 1st" Me: Can you look it up in your database, my wife has them all and is out shopping. That's how we got in this situation" THem: "Sir it doesn't work that way, you have to give us the #s" Me: Ok, let me put you on hold (actually mute) and I'll call her. This may take a few minutes. After a while they hang up. I figure if I can make them waste 5 minutes, that's time not screwing with old people....

Sorry to hear your dog's diagnosis. Neither solution sounds great. I never had to got through this with any of my dogs but there are quite a few dog people in here, maybe they have ideas. Hoping for a speedy recovery as possible.

It only sounds silly to people that have never owned a dog. I'll even go a little deeper and say not all dogs have this ability only special ones.

I’m not much for starting new threads but I need some cathartic moments. So here goes: We put Penny down Tuesday, she was our 9 year rescue rotty mix. We were telling a friend about the discovery of the cancer and Tuesday’s last show of love. She used the term “Heart Dog”. After her explanation, because I’ve never heard that term, I lost it. Little did we know but Penny is our heart dog. Penny was unlike any other dog we’ve ever had the pleasure of rescuing. She was prey driven (we always thought that was a joke as our previous dogs were food driven). She was the smartest. After the pool guy or lawn guys left the back yard, she would go and jiggle the gates with her paw because they were known to forget to click them shut and Penny loved to escape. She hated all furry animals on the TV. She knew all the commercials with dogs in them, she would bark and whine at the TV when they aired. So many other thoughts but I'll stop now. Thanks for letting me share. Penny in the front, Zoey our Boxer mix in the back.

Bill O'Brien still paying dividends for the fish.

Did any of you traders see what this did the spot oil price? Unreal! Anyone think this is the same captain of the Exxon Valdez?

There is the IPO price (the price underwriters sell to their clients) and the opening trade on the exchange after the IPO price (secondary market) there is no in between price. It's quite a racket but don't kill the messenger. This is part of the reason the SPAC market has been so busy. The issue with SPACs is you don't know what you are buying, only known is management.

But did they enjoy Scotch?

Agreed! I wonder if any other fan bases do this or if this is just related to our love of Bills?

One dumpster fire organization to another. Not smart but great money for him.

Beane is just trying to win Executive of the Year again. I didn't think he could fit all 3 under the lowered cap. Kudos!

Next they'll be cancelling violent cartoon dogs... Love me some Foghorn Leghorn!

I'm on board but He ran a 4.38 40 at his pro-day and PFF said he only allowed 12 catches on 34 attempts for 94 yards so he might not make it to 30...

Maybe his mom but it might not many more.

At that figure I'm ok with not getting him. I wonder what Lawson is going to get/looking for?

Your post rang a bell for me. I don't read much of this type of stuff, but I think it reads better when a skeptic become convinced. This was a good short read if you haven't read it. Proof of Heaven: A Neurosurgeon's Journey into the Afterlife by Eben Alexander

Since this is a football board, I've read a few of Tim Green's (1st round Draft pick from Syracuse, Author, Lawyer and NFL Commentator) books. His 1st, Ruffians is a good football book as are a few others of his. Back in early 90's I asked my boss at work how did that brokerage account get so large, his answer was to toss me a book. It was John Irving's "A Prayer for Owen Meany". I think I finished it that weekend. It's one of my favorites. I also enjoy most of Grisham's work as well. My favorite is "Runaway Jury" as it has a trading angle to it.

Playoff Tickets!

That would be an interesting debate. I can't be in the minority on this one. I love Foo Fighters, they'll be a slam dunk 1st ballot.

Is he a swimmer and is he Mark Spitz

Could it played with a racquet or a club or other?

Team or individual athlete?

Athlete or Actor or Other?
