"How do you think Volkswagen should prank Fiat back?" Well they aren't making a Fiat 500. Pretty good start.

He can come to Louisville. I'll offer him an all he can workout gym membership. Instead of strapping on a bib he needs to strap on a treadmill.

Interesting (and very anecdotal) numbers from a client that I am working with that owns a gym: Living Social for Group Classes at a very steep discount (~65% off the normal price for a class pack). 217 signed up (which means they paid). 63 used either all or partial punch card (most partial and only 1 or 2 class...more

I'm happy with the Netflix streaming and one DVD at a time. The 28-56 day wait doesn't bother me that much.

Credit Card companies would like for everyone to believe that the customers who pay off the cards in full every month are not profitable. That is pure bunk. Remember all the merchant fees you are generating every time you swipe your card. That is ~1.7-2.5 percent plus a per diem rate of ~$0.20 regardless of purchase a...more
