Using an inflation calculator $13400 is equal to $30820 today. The average price of a car today is $38000.
So, the average price has gone up, but look at the equipment in most cars that are bought today, moon roof, GPS, heated seats/steering wheel/ Blue Tooth compatibility, Cameras, Blind Spot, Better engines, turbos, better tires, more electronics, Stop/Start (ha ha), and people are buying more expensive cars overall....MBs, Audis, BMW etc.
*You would actually have to compare a Malibu say to a Malibu...to get a true idea.

There just aren't really any "stripper" cars anymore. How many cars built today can actually be spec'd with crank windows and no A/C?
You can probably count on one hand.

I’ve heard multiple stories about the high mile Toyota performing all sorts of incredible feats. I wonder if all these guys drive the same vehicle.

In the whole scheme of things the few bucks don’t really amount to anything but it’s a nice feeling that the company respects it’s low level employees enough to include them.
I’m not surprised the person who hired you got the boot. Up here it was a blood bath with about 75% of the managers fired outright including my two bosses who I enjoyed working for. We drivers were just on furlough and got to collect unemployment that amounted to triple what we were getting paid by the company. I took a two thirds pay cut to go back but I was glad to do it.

Set up an appointment at the Chevy dealer I posted who had the alleged “good deals”.
This was done by text. My visit was a “kill two birds with one stone” deal, where I was going to drop a flyer and business card off to the GM for my transport services in addition to doing a test drive of the Bolt.
Set up a time to meet the sales person, confirmed it (by the sales person). Got there, asked the receptionist to page the sales person. Waited about 15 minutes. No sales person. Paged again. Waited another 10 minutes, no sales person. Paged again after 10 more minutes, no sales person.
Asked the receptionist if I could speak to the GM. She became huffy and stated there was no reason to report the sales person. I explained that I wasn’t going to complain, only to drop off some info for my transport biz. She said he was unavailable (really?).
Dropped off my info.
This a.m., got a call from the sales person asking me when I was planning to come in for a test drive.
I’m a little perturbed by this juncture. I politely, but firmly, explained to him what transpired and reminded him of our appointment. No apology, no explanation, he just hung up on me. Guess who will never get my business, ever. Won’t be following up to do any transports for them either.
Tough for dealership to recover with a $h!tty attitude like that.

2014 Malibu 2LT, 2015 Cruze 2LT,
Doing a dishwasher “replacement” is actually pretty easy since the electrical and water hook ups already exist. Unless you have a bad back or lost your crescent wrench and screwdriver it should take less time to do than rotating a few tires, really. C’mon man, you can do it. It’s a lot better than doing woman’s work for a couple weeks.

I certainly could have installed it, as I did the one in the old house. You are correct it’s only three hookups and pretty easy overall.

I remember one time doing something around the house Mrs. j kept say, “how can I help you, how can I help you?” I said don’t worry about it. Then I decided to have some fun when I was done and once I had the dolly loaded I said, “how about driving this thing to the curb while I gather up my tools”. Turns out she was all talk and no help. Can’t say I was surprised.

I saw my first Stinger yesterday. It was all black and had a temporary registration paper taped to the back window. Very nice.

Imagine my surprise when a while later I went outside to see it sitting on the curb next to the end of my driveway. It was late in the day so I made a mental note to call them the next day to complain. I was even more surprised to find that it disappeared overnight. I don't know if those are valued for scrap metal or what, but I wasn't complaining any more.

I think silverware prices track silver prices, and a bit still gets melted down - not sure how many really collect old fashioned stuff like that anymore. Kind of like a cabinet full of carnival glass and Hummels, have fun with that.
That is inexcusable. I’ve had two dealers(Andy Mohr in Indianapolis and Oxmorons in Louisville) where I set up a “VIP appointment” via email. In both cases I arrived and the salesperson I had set up the appointment with was nowhere to be found.
That speaks volumes about the competency of the dealer.

When I was finished replacing my water heater about 8 years ago I put it on the dolly and took it to the curb in the middle of a nice Sunday afternoon. About 20 minutes later I decided to put something else out since garbage pick up was Monday morning. As I came out of the garage I see the water heater was gone. My town has an agreement with these collectors that once an item is at the curb they’re free to take it. If they don’t you can call them if left at the curb after the garbage is picked up and they’ll send a pickup over to get it. In all the years I’ve lived in this town I’ve only heard about 3 neighbors that had to call for a pickup to come by.
It’s almost funny, on Sunday’s around my hood starting when you are allowed to take trash to the curb, you’ll see several pickups cruising around looking for appliances set at the curb. They’re almost like vulchers. Rarely will something last more than an hour at the curb.
FWIW, I’m glad I had a dolly for that water heater. I wouldn’t want to schlep one of those things more than a few feet without a dolly. Some things pay for themselves over and over again and that dolly is one of those things.

He’ll probably gat a job more suited to his temperament at the DMV or IRS.
