I knew his affiliation with Escort before breaking out on his own. I was thinking the same....30+ish years ago. Met him originally when my company was a supplier of tech for Cincinnati Microwave.
The dinner was 5 or 6 years ago.
Over the years, I've had many detectors...both Valentines and Escorts. I currently use an Escort 9500. Not the latest tech, but works for my needs. Been to both showrooms. Escort is close to where I live. Valentine is within 5 minutes of my eye surgeon.

This family had been warned by the lenders about their debt, and the son who pretty much ran the operation liked “new paint.”
I was representing a retired couple who had sold their farm to the debtors by a deed with a retained lien. We had a judge who didn’t have a particularly sharp legal mind and he bought the debtors’ argument that they shouldn’t have to pay my clients because the other banks were foreclosing on them. It was beyond frustrating.

I'm not so certain they'll allow me to cross the OH River into KY. Now that @roadburner is not available to adjudicate any of my transgressions, I'm almost afraid to cross the bridge.
Actually, I should make a trip to Costco down your way for a Four Roses run. Costco up here does not have any stock available, either.
Called Lowes near me and they have this unit which interests me...
The sales person I spoke to was knowledgeable and quite nice. No stock of Bosch, though.

Unusual you ever get ANYONE on the phone at the big box stores when looking for info on a particular item.
She was also nice enough to send me the pic of their sale price, which is over, tomorrow.
And sometimes it is hard to tell if a car is a neglected aging model on bald tires, etc. 4Matic wasn't really commonplace until early teens models, too.

A good example is that a church wanted two "special order custom blown glass light fixtures" for the front of their stage. I'd have obliged them, but the Exec said "NOT IF the Glass Blower doesn't get the light fixture UL-Certified." Apparently, getting the whole fixture UL certified is quite a lengthy and expensive process.

I cross the Ohio River twice to get to my barber, 6 miles away. And, he is in the same state I am.

Absolutely amazing that no other vehicles were involved, given how busy that road is, normally.

I just read Lowes is hiring a lot of employees, business is really good for them, people are staying home more and are fixing up their homes. Also, since they don't go out for dinner as much dishwashers are getting used more than ever.......those are the reasons for the shortage. If it lasts for 10 years you are paying $25 more a year for a deluxe model!

Watching the live coverage on KTLA and he hit something hard given the way the front end pancaked pretty much all the way back to the windshield. No wonder his legs were injured. There is a fairly large (maybe 8”) tree trunk broken off immediately in front of the vehicle. He appeared to have narrowly missed a large power pole too.
Correction was issued and officials now say the Jaws were not used to extract him. They used hand tools to remove the windshield and extracted him through that opening.

Some mad driving skills from north of driver100.
To be fair to the poor guy, his truck did go off the road and hit the gravel, a simple mistake, but it flipping up in the air like that and landing on a building is really bad dumb luck!

Genesis got their name plastered on millions of TV Sets, the advertising is worth $millions.
Not the best ad but some say "Bad publicity is better than no publicity"

Insane power? What are you talking about?
It's about average for that engine.

I guess you are saying the lane keeping doesn't work all that well?
Just for you, a kindred spirit.

The "speed kills" myth believing crowd always makes arguments like this of similar weight and breadth. The weight and breadth of having not spent a lot of time thinking through their arguments.
Debating highway/freeway/Interstate speed limits and then having someone mention hazards you'd only encounter on residential arterial streets is a common tactic. No one, and I mean no one advocating for 100 MPH speed limits is advocating for them down the street your house sits on.

Of course you know that none of those 'nannies' work unless you activate them, I'm not really blaming the vehicle.
As you know my Son and I have done 2 flips and we haven’t spent a grand on any one of the 4 bath areas we’ve done so far. We only use tile and install it shower floor pan or tub all the way to the ceiling and install an accent band of tile horizontally on all three wall surfaces too. We wouldn’t insult ourselves or our prospective buyers by using those chincy plastic tub/shower surrounds. It does take a little more time to do it like we do it but we get every penny back and then some doing it our way. At least we have so far.
Pretty soon we’re going to be good at this stuff.
