I recently purchased replacement transaxles from an on-line vendor of car parts. Imagine my surprise when he e-mails me asking if I was satisfied with the product. My first thought was ‘ how nice, thank you for asking’. Then as I looked over the form provided I found several ‘REQURED’ entry slots and emphasis not to [...] This was more of a replacement than repair of a 1995 LE. Parts were obtained on-line from a wholesale parts vendor. The drivers side was done first. Remove the axle nut that holds the wheel hub to the wheel side of the old transaxle. This nut is visible after the hub cap is removed. This nut [...] We used to joke that GM stood for generous motors. Today it is no joke that GM stands for government motors. It was too big to fail but the general succumbed anyway. We hear lots of ads about GM. Chevrolet, for instance, is very proud of their new Impala. They say it [...] Our old Camrey was purchased used some time ago. It was equipped with a matched set of goodyear radials. They wore well and when they were close to worn out we decided to replace them with the same brand and type of tire. We went to the goodyear store in Plano and [...] The old Camry has been in need of a pair of new front tires for a while now. We finally decided to take care of that this Saturday. I was not looking forward to this. The last time I bought tires at Sam’s they must have been seconds or perhaps thirds (if [...] I believe that is what they are called now. Some time ago I remember them as the Morris Minor. It is a small, cute, automobile made in the UK. Even though it is small, it has a substantial look to it. A well rounded body that makes it look like a [...] Somewhere in these posts is a blurb cautioning the reader not to confuse a bad sales pitch for good advice. The guy selling insurance as an investment is the epitome of a bad sales pitch. This guy is news as bad as it is ever going to get. The pitch usually goes like this….whole [...] Do you like rebates? Sure, when I can get them, I like rebates, but they have to be substantial and on items I really need to entice me to take the chance. Mail-in rebates are not a sure thing. It is not unusual to have your rebate request denied because of some minor silly proceedural detail [...] You have seen the ads on TV and heard them on the radio. They purport to let you in on a very closely guarded secret that lenders do not want you to know. Your credit score. They further imply that if you dont know your credit score, you can be overcharged for loans. [...] Put the word ‘free’ in front of a product or service and some people act like mad, raveous, dogs. Throwing caution to the winds they push each other out of the way to be the first to get taken. And taken they will get because desirable products and services are never free. Offers of [...] |
