So what's so bad about hubcaps/wheel covers? My uncle thinks the Mazda6 is a good car, but hubcaps are a dealbreaker for him. He only buys cars with alloy wheels. I was not even paying attention to wheels throughout this process. I'm sure alloy wheels are better, but they're only available on the more expensive trims. Are 16" steel wheels so bad?
How's it sit? Pretty cunning, don'tchya think?

Question: when someone comes to clean your house, do you tip him or her? I'm not sure if it will be the owner of the business or not. (it's an independent small local company thing)

I literally have no idea, so I'm curious about the answers.

I don't think I've ever seen my mom tip the house-cleaning people. Usually she leaves them a check. I'm not really sure, though.

I never tip my cleaning lady; I expect her to price her services appropriately for my house. I give her something extra around Dec. holidays, though, and frequently give her stuff that I might otherwise donate to Goodwill. She's always been happy to take stuff.
Happy birthday Kristin & Maria!

Oh heck. It's only Thursday. It feels like Friday.

My uncle, on car salesmen:
You know how you have to talk to them? Like a whore. You know why? Because that's what they are, they're whores. They'll try to fuck you any way they can. If you go to a whore, she might say, "$200." And you say, "For you, bitch? I don't think so." "No no no, $175." It's like that.
He also told me that buying a used car was like buying a whore. I think my uncle is related to Frank Miller.

I think Frank Miller is scared of your uncle.

Coconut milk ice cream and bad celebrity reality TV are not helping my blah.

Jesus Christ, of course not!
May as well watch old Jerry Falwell preaching reruns and mainline corn-starch!

... is it the downhill one? I know I knew this at some point.
Yep. And, as the downhill driver to whom this happened on the first day, all I could say was nononono. I"m not sure why, but it made sense to me that the UPhill driver should back up. I don't really get the logic of either choice though.
