When did they talk about actually getting started on the work?

They offer a discount to the forums and such that they support. Why would they offer the discount to everybody? They are rather liberal with the discount too though so it is not like you need to mention it word for word.

I wash my hands if they are visibly dirty before eating usually. If there is nowhere to wash up then I use my portable towel aka my pants. LOL

I don't chew mine because I would wear my teeth out from the grime under them

How about the starts that feel the need to tell us they were abused? That is terrible but who cares!? Keep it to yourself! Tell your therapist. Just don't tell me.
LOL Jay!!

You should feel bad for them. They are a protected class after all...

That reminds me of one of the dogs on my friend's farm. This dog loves to play fetch and she will get a stick, ball, sugar beet, etc. Her canines are worn down from all of the dang rocks that she brings back.

They will be making final determinations in May or June. Somewhat based on the cards they mailed out asking people when they want the work done or even if they want it done this session. This would be for 2013-2017. So don't bitch if you don't send the card back.

Regarding Tousley and discounts. Why not just charge everybody a "fair" price up front instead of a deal to some and bending over the rest?

I am not complaining there Mr. Mayor.

I would say that they are not bending over some but rather offering a deal to a certain group and charging the normal fair price to everybody else.

I think it is all in the way you look at it.

I understand not giving a discount to everyone but that is one heck of a markup for just mentioning the internet.

Sorry I don't think I would want that truck. I have hear it has had some issues like a turbo and trans not to mention there is word on the street that it may have had a tuner on it!

I wouldn't give it to you Mr. 6.0 Hater.

That just goes to show how much markup there is in parts period.

They sell at 5 or 10% over cost for the forums.

I would take it, new turbo better transmission. But the tuner would have to be included
