    Parents are lookin at an 08 Cobalt

    I drove one of the base models for about 2 months and the handling was a step down from other cars I've driven. One of the things that was nice about the cobalt was the automatic lights when the sun sets. I wish more cars had that.

    What would you do if you were accidentally overpaid?

    This happened to me once, but I didn't realize I was overpaid. I found out when they asked me to refund them.

    Light meals / snacks

    For breakfast, have a carton of yogurt. For lunch, eat a bagel. For dinner, eat whatever you want. Repeat on weekdays. Then on the weekend, eat like a king. I find myself saving some money this way.

    If you are applying for a job DON'T do this...

    The State Dept. has the worst job application ever. I know a bunch of people who were interested, but decided not to apply because they were turned off by the length of the application.

    Car Rant

    Today, I noticed a scratch on my passenger side door. It looks like someone in the parking lot opened their door too far and left a scratch. What makes me mad is not the scratch, but the fact that someone has the nerve to damage someone's property and not take responsibility for it.

    wow. neighbors Called DCFS on us.

    Where I lived a long time ago, we had racist neighbors who called DCFS on us when I was young. They called to check if our parents were home (When I was in grade school). Luckily, a friend covered for us. The racist neighbors moved away a year later. I bet stuff like this is common. You just...

    YAJT

    Edit: I decided to go with Option A. The place let me adjust my work hours, so the commute isn't as bad. I was stuck in traffic for 2+ hours going home my first week. Now it only takes 1 hour with work schedule 7:00-4:30. However, the age gap is still there. I find it hard to connect with...

    Is this a good deal?

    I'm looking to buy a miata as a daily driver. I would be commuting 50 miles to work. The MSRP is listed as $29,530 and my offer is around $25,000. Is this a good deal or should I just get a used car and wait for the future model?
