Few questions have black and white answers: Is wine really good for you? It depends. Is Kanye West's fashion line as dumb as everyone says? Maybe. Is everything bigger in Texas? No comment.

Dealer prep ... delivery ... tire inflation charge ... that's all dealer fluff that the factory doesn't get a cut from. And they hate to deal on that. They'll say they can't. I don't care where they take it off ... but all those numbers are their profit and it's your job as a car buyer to leave them as little as you can.

 

People that don't haggle are why the US is choosing between the two worst candidates since 1776. No balls.

Ok, true confession here... I bought my '68 GTO, Black Betty, online, sight unseen other than pictures. I will not do that again. It was as advertised, but there were a few little things that, were I there in person, I would have noticed and would have pointed out to the seller to fix or come down a few bucks on price.
