All the rioting is always in the city center, which I promptly avoid anyway due to the crime rate, much like going to NJ. It's not that bad but I don't want to take any chances. It's really quiet where I live, which is only a 15 minute drive from where all the **** takes place.

Try this out, see how far you can get: http://www.foddy.net/Athletics.html I was able to legitimately get to about 8m. It wasn't pretty, looked like a retard dancing to Michael Jackson. Probably similar to what some people look like after having a Four Loko or two. Also went backwards and got stopped by a wall.

So I've listed a few of these GM Service know-how DVDs this past week and the T-56 Unit Repair one had 2 people watching it within a few hours of listing it. I wasn't sure what they were worth to people, but I figured starting them at $49.99 was worth a shot.
Well last night I had a guy email me asking what it would take to buy it now. I ******* love when people ask that. So I told him to go ahead and make an offer, and it was worth it to me I'd accept. Meanwhile I did some quick searching on completed listings and saw that on Dec 4th, another "seller" sold a lot of 12 of these GM DVDs for $15.50!!! Stupid ****!
The guy wrote back "I'll give you $60 bucks". I wasn't sure if it was worth more or not, but I figured if the last guy sold 12 of these (the lot included the T-56 DVD), and only got $15.50, that $60 wasn't too bad. I setup the buy it now and he paid immediately. The address I shipped it to today was a mechanic shop, so I'm guessing he'll put it to good use.
Its amazing to see people listing and selling (or not selling) the same **** for bottom dollar. Some people are almost giving the stuff away.

My work dragging their feet in getting my new account set up for direct deposit. So I had to leave it open to receive the check.
All of the money was going through the debit card, so I think I may leave the actual bank account open as to have a place to make deposits, since my new bank account is Capital One online banking with no physical branch. That way I can make a physical deposit at my old bank and transfer it to my new account. If I had known it was only the debit card I would have closed it long ago. I was assuming with the rate of **** being taken it was coming directly from the account.

**** so I have been driving my integra to get it ready to drive up to DC to sell tommorow. I had a job interview today at 3:30. I am on my way a mile from my house when I make a left turn and I loose spark. I am ******* pissed that the ******* car ain't working and that I'm going to be late for my interview. So I call the company and let the guy kmnow what's up and that I will be late. I then get a ride home to get in my miata to get to the interview. On the way I call my friend to get some suggestions of what to check. He tells me to clean off the distributer and rotor. After I ******* rock my interview I go back to try to fix my car. I clean the bitches off and still the same ****. No ******* spark. Now I have to wait a hour for the ******* tow truck to get here. FML

Sure,
I sent my MS back to Scott for an MS2 upgrade and small stuff. He sent it back to me and at delivery I was kindly asked to pay $50 for import taxes and stuff. I payed because otherwise you don't get the package. Filed a claim that the unit was already mine and in the Netherlands since about 2008 and I sent it back just for repairs. That was denied. I sent more proof, the label Scott originally made when he sold it to me in 2008 and the whole conversation about fixing/upgrading it a few months ago. Got an answer yesterday: denied, again.
It's not about the money (ok, a little) but the fact that I have to pay A)for something that was already in the country and in my possession for 2 years and B) When I first got it 2 years ago, I already payed import taxes for it.
