One of my kids was so used to the code for our 02 Explorer, they programmed it for their 2017 Fusion.

What on earth are the odds of that?
The code was 39339 and his tag was HG 3933
I used that same code on all my cars as well. I still have his plates as well (they were on the 04 Marquis when I got it)
The one thing you should always do with the system is not use the factory code so you can change it if you feel someone saw you key it in. What I always thought was neat was the factory code was always there even if you programmed your own.

So what's the big deal about a 21k oil change? Just wait for the $10 'oil change special' coupon.
One of my problems is, having had so many of those vehicles with the keypad, if I have a senior moment, I might enter one I had 3 or 4 cars ago.
On that Bugatti oil change -- all I can do is shake my head. There is an engineer / designer somewhere who should be shot.

Compared to that, inserting the key in a 911 feels like sex.

See? You come to Edmunds and you save $20, 965 bucks, just like that!
Yeh, I'd like to see the Jiffy Lube boys try working on one of those. They would really earn their $8 an hour.

I joined Amazon Prime recently for their streaming movies and other entertainment so I ordered a Remington electric razor a few months ago and the pricing was outstanding. So I took a chance and Wednesday ordered a pair of Rockport Pro-Walkers (walking shoe). They are hard to find now that they are only sold online at their web site but Amazon had them. They retail for $100 a pair but I got them from Amazon for $49.99 + tax - next day shipping is free with Prime. I tried them on and they are perfect!
I guess I have become an online shopper after all!

As for Amazon, I'd rather not do business with them because they are too big. It's a personal thing with me but it seems like every time I try it their prices are higher than Ebay. Earlier this week I bought a new razor head for my Norelco electric razor and Amazon was around 20% higher than Ebay and I would have had to pay shipping with Amazon vs. no shipping with Ebay. So I just can't understand all of the rage with Amazon. Maybe they know I don't like them so they don't like me either. Just yesterday we were talking about how computers know things about their users and how you have to be careful when using them. Amazon is probably a good part of the reason and Alexa ain't helping their image.

I don’t think a week goes by we don’t have something delivered.
We also have Prime Pantry so our grocery store trips are pretty much just for produce, meat and dairy. All the snacks, granola bars, cereal, etc comes from Amazon.

Also, you can find things on amazon that could take years to find trying various sources. Amazon is the future.
my only concern is when they grow to be 80% of all retail sales....then their prices will really rise, it already has for books.

My wife had a phone call from an Ex-colleague and well the rest is history. She will be starting a new gig after 11 years with the current company.
Huge step up and she will be working right in center city Philly. Good news is she will only have a quick ride to the train station and it’s the first stop once in the city.
It is going to feel odd not driving in together. Since child care is right near our job I’ll be taking over that duty two days a week. Car related it looks like she will taking the Elantra at least those two days a week and I’ll use the Enclave when I have the kids. Also car related now that we won’t be driving together mostly everyday I’ll be stepping up the budget a little bit in November when the Elantra goes back. What’s great is once September hits my 5 year old will be in Kindergarten and our child care bill gets cut in half. That bill went from almost $1500/ month in the beginning to just a little over $400 once September hits.
OK.. getting near @jmonroe post length... but if anyone remembers we were on the fence about private Catholic school or public school. After touring our public school we decided public was the way to go.

Very expensive, you had to sign up for full time 5 days a week and sign a year long contract.
Luckily we never needed 5 days. We were at 3 days for a long while and then my mom is retired/bored and wanted another day so we are down to just two days.
For her it is actually great. It keeps her moving and she actually is doing more and more with them (park, lunches out, etc). My kids love their “Nonnie”

Like most things in life, whether or not they are the "best" choice to buy something from depends. I pick and choose.
And there will likely be something else that comes along in a few years that will take Amazon's place. There always is.

and, at least you know how to pay for college. Send them to a state school, and it will be just like paying for daycare!

We used to go on Sunday when they opened, could go in and be out in 20 minutes. Since we got back from Florida Sunday at opening time is like a mob scene.....parking lot full, long lines, now we have to go during the week......I can't stand waiting in their long lines and fighting for a parking space.
I feel like Yogi Berra.....no one goes there any more because it is so crowded.

"my wife and I have worked for the same company since we have known each other. That is coming to an end in a couple weeks."
Thank goodness, it is the job. Congratulations and best wishes....nice to hear.

2014 Malibu 2LT, 2015 Cruze 2LT,
Way back when, when I was ending my professional career I interviewed with a new company. They flew me in and put me up in a hotel. Interviewed with several people and flew home. A week later they wanted me to do it all over again with a different group of executives. By that time I had tired of the corporate run around and became a farmer instead. Best decision I ever made. Being your own boss is the only way to go.
These days corporations make everyone jump through hoops. I even had to interview with several people to get my current minimum wage retirement gig.

They are strictly a monthly payment house. No actual sticker prices. I went their web site to find out what the actual prices were and found the same thing...just monthly payments without any indication of MSRP, options, interest rate or length of loan. Not even any indication of what options the cars possessed.
Any of you NJ guys ever deal with this place? Felt kind of slimy. Is that they way people buy cars down there?

Sorry Shifty....didn’t see your post before I posted myself.
Then again, seeing the upsell at JiffyLube for a new air filter for that might be fun, too!
Don't know why they are keeping it a secret but Citizens Access Bank is offering a 2.85% APY 1-year CD and 2.35% on savings. This is a strictly online bank (a subsidiary of Citizens Bank) and a $5,000 minimum is required to open. Considering the paltry 1.15% rate I'm getting right now its hard to pass up such attractive rates.
Does anyone have experience with these online savings banks? What are the risks and downsides? comments appreciated.

1.15% would be $57.
It's a big difference, but would I do all the work and transfer money from a real bank to a virtual bank that is desperate for money for $60?

I usually get my revenge.......
I think they have all these interviews partly to cover their butts, but also because there are lots of applicants for so few good jobs. I am glad I am no longer in the work force...much rather play pickleball.

Interest rates are going up although the fed indicated they are through for this year. Might be a good time to lock in a good rate.

It has been an open secret, for a long time (50 years+) , but age discrimination happens @ late 30’s to early 40’s. Indeed most to all systems, industries, have been, are, will remain in 24/7/90/365 “creative” destruction modes.
Long gone are the days of 30 year employments, gold watch, going out to pasture with one’s dog/cows. Im not sure how anyone can say “FIXED INCOME” with a straight face.
Even the military, which as some people know has the so called 20 year retirement. However one is “not vested” until 19 years and 366 days (IF one can even make it there). If you enlisted/commissioned at 18/22 years old, one is 38/42 years old@ so called “retirement”.
