Here's another one "Our service dept. will be open until they close"


Don't worry about it my finance manager was just trying to make a little money off of you...


Yes the car has damage...would i take delivery? You can't ask me that since i'm in the business...


My manager still has to put his signature on it too...

And, nope, in trying to explain Spock's behavior in the first, I think, Star Trek movie, Kirk noted that he had had too much LDS in the 60's. Anyway, LSD makes no sense. Too much limited slip differentia in the 60's?? Well, OK, maybe if his LSD didn't work, and he crashed a lot.

I think... I know that the engine will vibrate and shudder if its too full... so it MIGHT work both ways...

Znod, you mean the Mormons (Church of Latter day Saints)? LDS plus LSD back in the 60's. That was wild . . .

Kirk said it, but he was supposed to have meant LSD. It was a very funny line.
