    Ok so I did pretty good at 45.5 cpm for half the year. Now I get to do the second half at 49cpm. I should see a pretty good increase. I only take off 8 days a month though

    That's where I'm at, 38.8k, not including last week's pay which I missed the payroll date, whith the vast majority being 6 days with a restart.

    I won't comment on home time :(
    Because I can't remember it lol.

    So I went by the local dealership just to look at a raptor, they had a black one almost built the way I would order one. They want a 7k dealer markup over msrp. I asked if the crack they were smoking was really that good

    Far from chump change, I barely make 100k yr.. I need it for the cheapest price I can get. So the black truck had a 7k mark up and the silver had a 5k mark up, so even the color is affecting it. I told them I will be ordering one next year and would like to use my local dealership but not paying 7k for it

    Na when I get one it will be new, I will be able to get for msrp but might have to drive to Georgia or somewhere to get it. All because these greedy dealerships think they are entitled to be able to rip consumers off because it's a more of a limited produced vehicle. I told the sales manager today that I have seen that black raptor all over their lot for last several months just being parked in diff places and for 7k mark up I'm sure it will continue to live at their dealership lol. Oh and the Shelby 350r GT had a 25k dealer mark up. That's crazy. 25k for nothing, just extra money they want for selling it to someone

    Yea your right, I do see the most their. Here where I live in NC I still haven't seen a new one on the road. Only 1 old one. We also have the second highest documentation fee aka dealer fees here too. I'm not looking to buy next week so it's no big deal. But they make atleast 5k already when a consumer pays msrp for a vehicle. Wanting over that sticker price is straight rape

    Around here the Chevy Silverado seems to be the truck to buy. Heck the local shop I use I think its a job requirement to work there. They usually have 3-5 black Silverados all with lift kits and big chunky tires. My one and only pickup I've had was a '86 Toyota 4 banger, and it was lifted w/roll bar and too big tires. That thing would hit 70 downhill sometimes, so under-powered lol. My current car is a 16 year old Audi that runs and looks like new (other than the rusted out exhaust, replacement part back order going on 10 weeks now grrrrrr), I'll never get rid of it but I do lust after something newer. I was thinking about a '11-'13 Maserati Quattraporte but then I found out that the clutch only lasts 10-15k miles on those things it it takes dropping the engine to replace so $$$. That explains why there are so many in the 15-30k miles range so cheap. IF I ever buy anything new it will be the Land Rover Disco, or an bmw M3 4door.
