    No need to apologize. Many car salesmen have a bad reputation but the good ones make the experience much better. The new model seems to be eliminating dealers so I’m not sure how much of a future there is for the car salesmen. Personally I wouldn’t mind a more fixed pricing structure , instead of the haggling. I just got a new car for my wife last fall and can say I really didn’t enjoy the process of pitting the dealers against each other to the price down to a reasonable price. Hopefully I won’t need to do it again for a while 

     

    We've bought our last two-three if you count my daughter-cars from the same salesperson at the same dealership. She, and the dealership, make the process as painless as possible, which I greatly appreciate. I hope sales people don't disappear entirely, because a good one, while hard to find, makes life much easier.

    I was going to post this one, but was running short on time:

    He honestly wasn’t calling anyone a “ass” . He was saying that there’s always someone who’s going to want a car . You just need to find the right person. I had a buddy that had a AMC Javelin and loved it but I’ll never understand why. But different things trip different people’s trigger . BTW this guy was the top salesman at a large dealership for about 30 years . Not many car salesmen last that long, especially in one place . He still works part time coming in for his long time customers. I believe the era of guys like him is soon to be gone 

     

    I offer my sincere apologies for thinking otherwise. You're right, there are cars that you would think nobody could like, but they have a following. I always thought the later model Javelins had a cool, futuristic look to them. Not quite my cup of tea, but I can see why someone would like them. The AMC Pacer, now... 

    I have a veteran who is a car salesman who does the same part time thing now, just his long time customers, and a couple of referrals. Although when we last spoke, he didn't think he was going to do it much longer. You're right, a dying breed.

    A rather successful car salesman once told me “there’s a ass for every seat” 

     

    Double entendre noted, and I've been called worse by better. Oh, that should be 'an ass..."

     

    The Mustang II had great styling lines, reminiscent of the original cars of the '60s, and much better than the bloated behemoth the Mustang had become for '71-'73. It was certainly better looking than the Box, I mean Fox Bodied Mustangs that followed, that had no discernible visual connection to the earlier Mustangs.

    Yes, performance was down compared to earlier and later years, but that is due in large part to the energy crisis and the development of new ways to deal with it. Essentially, the Mustang II was, mechanically, a lab rat for what would become the new performance era starting with the Fox Bodies. Even then, the Mustang II can be made to perform surprisingly well, handling and speeds that would astound many from that time.

     

    Yes, if I could get my hands on a Cobra II in good condition, I would take it in a second.

    A mothers day joke...

    Fred is 32 years old and he is still single.

    One day a friend asked, "Why aren't you married? Can't you find a woman who will be a good wife?"

    Fred replied, "Actually, I've found many women I wanted to marry, but when I bring them home to meet my parents, my mother doesn't like them."

    His friend thinks for a moment and says, "I've got the perfect solution, just find a girl who's just like your mother."

    A few months later they meet again and his friend says, "Did you find the perfect girl? Did your mother like her?"

    With a frown on his face, Fred answers, "Yes, I found the perfect girl. She was just like my mother. You were right, my mother liked her very much."
    The friend said, "Then what's the problem?"

    Fred replied, "My father doesn't like her."

     

    My mom and dad didn't dislike AB. My mom just always thought I would marry another girl I dated. She would even say as much, even a couple of times after I married (not while AB was around mind you). My dad, on the other hand found her tolerable because... Well, she wasn't Jewish or Catholic. As a Jehovah's Witness, if he had only known her true inclinations, or mine in the realm of religion, It would have been much worse, I think. They came to accept her, but despite everyone's efforts, they never did really find common ground. All these years later, I'm convinced I made the right choice.

    RIFLE RANGE!  I found out over the years that I shot better when I went out and got drunk the night before Qualification Day. Muscles were more relaxed.

    And shoot the target you see in the middle...:lol:

    I had another one. I don't know where it went.

    Can't decide between a single cup

    And a small pot

     

    I went the single cup route. Good for a single cup, and less storage space taken

    Have absolutely no interest in a cappuccino/latte/whatever else you have to foam the milk for

    But a moka pot is on my list

     

    You foam for the cappuccino. Good stuff, either way, but I won't judge. I would enjoy a larger espresso maker like the one you posted.

    And I keep flip flopping on a coffee grinder. Do I really want to get that involved?

     

    Yes, you do. It really isn't that much more work, and worth the effort. Definitely go the burr route, though. Much more consistent grind.

     

    I stop short of being like a doctor I served with in the Guard who roasted his own beans. That's too much even for me.

    Is that why I have a Mr Coffee, AND a stove top percolator, AND two French presses, AND a speckleware cowboy coffee pot, AND several individual packets of instant?

     

    Get another french press, a pour over maker, an electric espresso and cappuccino maker, a stove top espresso maker and a burr grinder, and you'll be set! Although you do have me on the speckleware coffee pot!
