Just got home from Wal-Mart to get some misc stuff. I picked up some for sale signs for my 95 when I park it outside. The cashier was a 28-30yr old guy.

Him: Are you selling something?
Me: Ya...? (I'm thinking, no ***^ sherlock!)
Shouldve said "Heres your sign!!"

As another Wal-Mart worker here, I can really say that many people we hire are just valid social security numbers.

But hey we all know Big cars don't handle, just look at the intrepid, now thats a car...( Pile of Junk, I'd kill myself if I was reduced to a Intrasludge 2.7 )....

Yeah I like My Bonnevilles
LOL. Amen.
