I’ve lost count of how many different car warranty companies I’ve seen advertised. They’re almost all using celebrity spokespeople, so I figure they’re making really good money, which is the first sign that it’s got to be a bad deal for the consumer.

I love the Carshield commercials with Ice-T and other b list celebrities.  Don't get blindsided with a $2000 repair.  Pay us $4000 and we'll take care of it!

I forget what I was watching the other day, but I saw a Ford ad playing up their improved quality. Heck, it’s the only Ford commercial I’ve seen recently—apparently, the channels I watch are popular with the old folks, ‘cause mostly what I see are Medicare Advantage commercials and AI slop targeting old folks for auto insurance and home warranties. (I swear, the old folks auto insurance commercials are bad—one “old lady” is saying she only drives to the grocery store, but none of the “people” in the background are at all surprised to see her parking in the produce section…)

Exactly. 🤙

Every day is Saturday!   HRG

I was wondering why it was so quiet.  Totally forgot it was a holiday.  Retirement FTW!

Oh I could make it work but why bother when my 2018 f150 only has 47k miles.

holiday weekend lol

Found one!   HRG

I made this rack system for my 2020 Ranger for hauling 4x8 plywood. I've also hauled 2"x6"x10' lumber with it. It's not ideal for 10' dimensional lumber but it works. I used clamps to keep the lumber from moving.
