My computer guy gave a bit of advice which makes sense. On any printer, but especially HP always make at least one print per month. If you let it go too long the cartridge gunks up the print head. A friend had given me the printer. Hadn't used it in a couple of years. Dead black print head. Not worth fixing.
Still, the ones I'm in are for charity. Good causes.
Good luck to your son.
Jags have a new spot for me, given my sister owned the S type with nothing askew ever with it.
Nice cars. They just never seem to make my shopping list. Don't know why.
I think I value sportiness over everything else, though. That's why I never pull the trigger on a Benz, although I do think the Jag is more sporty than the E class. No idea if that's true or not, just my impression.

That's going to look like you go to the left on your GPS. It seems to me it should look the way it looks in front of you.
I have pretty good sense of direction. I guess they make GPS's changeable to adjust for all preferances, but North at top and South down on a GPS.......................?????

Awwright....maybe I did get beat by some nine year olds. And, maybe that's how I justified it. So what if I'm only in it for the cookies at the end.....

I swapped in the winter floor mats in the E-GT this afternoon. I'll do the Mazda tomorrow morning.
Should be fun delivering both tonight and tomorrow ... bad weather is good for business when you're delivering pizzas!

This Laser printer has 2 year warranty and I added a year at no cost because of a coupon I had. So, in the end, the Laser will outlast the inkjet with higher quality copies and no wet ink to worry about.

I think Jag is a nice medium between MB and BMW (a British Audi?). My XK and XF, I consider fine GT type cars. Luxury rides combined with enough sport to have a bit of fun. To me, the XF feels lighter (even though it ain't) with better steering feel than the wife's 535xi. But the 535 has more room, better visibility, better mpg (I think) and probably faster/quicker than the XF. And, each has a wacky shifter! Beer tap vs. hockey puck! To each!

I just find it uncanny that there was absolutely nothing available anywhere in the pipeline or at another dealership. The only car that is available was the one scheduled for manufacture on November 18th which is the one ordered for me.
So, it looks like 3weeks from the date of manufacture, or December10th +/- a few days. When this is over, it will be the worst experience I have ever had in buying and taking possession of a new car.

I bet no dealer wants to give up a 2015 on it's way. I think you did the right thing asking...might as well try. I think when new cars come in each dealer is allotted so many....why give one up that you are sure you could sell. Have you seen that ill equipped E400 around....interesting to know how they priced it and marketed it. "Save big time if you don't need blind spot warning or lane change warning". Actually, that car could be a bargain for someone in Miami......there are lots of people who never drive on a highway.

It is sitting on the back lot of the dealership. If you go to their site (Mercedes Benz of Delray) and look up an E400 in Palladium Silver (MSRP $69,295) in their inventory, you will see it.
They told me they have received no instructions yet from MBUSA as to what to do with it and they cannot sell it in its present condition with an incorrect MSRP Window Sticker (Monroney Label). They received 2 E400's yesterday and both had the Lane Tracking/Blind Spot Monitors, but no additional options like the Lighting Package and Active Park Assist Package or the Multicontour Driver's Seat.
So I have no choice but to wait the 3-4 additional weeks.

That park assist thing I wonder about. I am really hesitant to use it. What is it makes a mistake...who will be responsible? Also, the driver still applies the brake, and what if he doesn't?
One day on a parking lot somewhere I'll give it a try, maybe get to like it.

Personally, if I knew about the E400 on their back lot, I would trteat it like the salvage models you see on ebay. Probably offer them $20K off asking price and see if it flies. If not, nothing ventured, nothing gained. If so, I'd write the check.
Wait a minute....I'd have to drive it first. I got a little scared of what you guys were saying that it's turned into a boulevard cruiser. Not that that's bad. Just not something I'd probably want.

I always have felt that you can use such sites as a reference (much the same with Edmunds), but at the end of the day, you can't really get a deal done until you're sitting in the chair and making your offer.
Interesting article referencing Truecar. They started out promising the BEST price. Now, they're saying "FAIR" price.

However, "fair" price proposition doesn't really create as much added value for the consumer in comparison to already existing tools and services. There is really not much differentiation between this and others. Those services are OK for people who don't know and don't want to know how the business works. They guarantee you will pay more-less what others do, but that is BEFORE trade, mop&glo and financing options. There is still several levers dealers can pull to extract money, but now they have a customer who is already believing they don't need to worry about being ripped off. They only fixed one variable in the process, not even as much anymore, just enough so you don't feel bad. No wonder dealers like it.

Just for comparison, I pulled up a 2014 Jetta TDI value edition on both truecar and here on Edmunds. Truecar target price is $17,384. Edmunds TMV is $20,914. Pretty huge disparity.

And I have to agree, from the consumer's point of view, TrueCar makes Edmunds look silly and irrelevant.
I used to just run around my block which is just about 1/2 mile with a small hill but it gets a little boring, I'd lose count on the laps, people walking their dogs would give me weird looks, et al so I've been changing the route regularly. Of course that means if you get a cramp or don't feel, it might be a long walk home.

I've got the calf issues, too. I spend a few minutes warming up the calves (very strange looking exercise I found on the interweb) before running with the crazies at work. I also started wearing compression sleeves, which help but not a cure all. And, I bought a roller/massager. Can be painful, but also helps a lot. And, make sure you hydrate daily.

I largely like the way they have it set up. Click through the options, etc, and then I can open the incentives window and check/uncheck what applies to me. They are pretty good about showing details as to which incentives conflict, too. Only problem I've come across is that their invoice doesn't always agree with other sources. I have a feeling they pad it a bit to hide their fees. That's just a guess, though.

Think back 10-15 years. Get in line or take a number. Either way, things are a lot different than they used to be -- S & I works for me, though entertaining still plays a part.

What is "S & I"?
And what does "entertaining still plays a part" have to do with a comparison of the pricing information provided by Truecar and Edmunds?
I am genuinely puzzled, and would appreciate some elucidation.
