    How is my car worth more now then when I bought it over a year ago?

    That's because new STI/WRXs are like impossible to get right now. I was in the market for a new WRX. Couldn't even find a STI. And WRXs were MSRP only.

    Want to buy a new vehicle, how much can I typically get off sticker price?

    I'm curious about this...I been looking at a couple of cars that dealers have been saying MSPR only. If I go through this program, would they have to honor that price or pull the "sorry, we're out of stock" excuse?

    4000 arrests at risk over cops that were never gun certified

    Seems like by not being ceritified, all those guys lost their police-status, police-powers. Hence the arrests being nullified. Could open themselves up to a whole can of worms civilly.
