No ad, but if I right click to open this thread, I get an error that ends in address 947280/3. If I just click to open in the same tab, it opens fine, ending in address 947280/2. Explain that one to me in a way I’ll believe! Windows 10, Chrome. ---

The General. They’re not using the cheap CGI cartoon general any more, so they’re having random people come up to endorsement whore Charles Shackleford and tell him “We didn’t listen to you about The General because the commercials were terrible, but it turns out it’s a quality product!” _Whuuuut?_ ---

Audi, the most wonderful car made. Buy one new and drive it without maintenance. 2 years later, ignore that $3500 repair bill and trade it in for another new Audi. At 6 months old, don’t worry about that curb you hit at 40 mph and caused $4000 damage, trade it in for another new Audi. What, you have to wait 3 months for a new part because of a recall and can’t drive your new car??? The Audi dealer will loan you a BMW. Plus you get to bitch and whine about making $1400 a month payments for a car you can’t drive. Bet you can’t wait till you can buy another new Audi.\* \*A cousin of mine is living out this dream right now. ---
