I have to say this Bull sh** about the end of days. Has a lot of people on edge. yeah they laugh about it on the outside. But inside its enough to scare the crap out of them. Adults and kids alike are really troubled by this. I don't bring it up to anyone. If someone brings it up. I jst shake it off. Why talk about something you have No clue on ? Why scare people with this stuff? My grandson ( 8yrs old) Is having a rough time with it. Had to talk to him for a long time about it. And so has his mom & dad. But the kids in school are scared to death about this. And that doesn't help any of them get thru this B/S... Glad when saturday rolls around. The poor kids will be feeling a lot better and some adults also.

I think the whole end of the world thing is a nice joke. And some of the people that flipped out about it, it is funny the predictions they had and all the conspiracies...

Morning everyone, I'm still alive as well. Winter is officially here.

Snow is falling here. The roads are just wet still but everything else is snow covered. We're only suppose to get up to 1" in SE Michigan now, although Northern Detroit suburbs are suppose to get 2-2.5".



I went into the Chevrolet dealership yesterday to test drive that Cruze LTZ and overheard one of the ladies talking about how some family of hers lives up on Higgins Lake (near our place on Houghton Lake) and said they had 6" on the ground already, and that was at 11:45am yesterday. Higgins/Houghton Lake area has about 12" on the ground right now.

I test drove a fully loaded black granite metallic Cruze LTZ, with the RS package, (MSRP at $26,885) that the guy priced out at $276/mo with $1,500 out of pocket for a 3 year lease. What is everyone's opinion on that cost/month? The test drive went well and I really like the car. Overall styling inside and out is very nice and the interior is very comfortable and roomy for a sub compact. I calculated out a rough estimate and figure I'll be saving at least $100 in gas a month if I were to drive the Cruze and not the Suburban.

<~ CHEVY'S IN THE LEAD (LOL)
Hi `Matt,
I was going to complain about the weather & that Florida has posted "Freeze Warnings" in parts of the state, but after viewing the weather on the web, I decided to not complain..(Mother nature does not listen to me @ `all Be Safe Out there on your highways of `Life 4-Sure
==============================================
`Matt, I'm not familiar with personal leases & only business auto leases that you can deduct the cost as a business expense..(I don't know in our future `if that deduction will still apply with our national budget...

Did you compare the difference between buying it vs leasing ?
What is your mile limitations ? Insurance Cost ? Can you write some of the cost `off as a business use ? I hope that you do your homework & search the web to read what the experts in this area state...It's so much better to do you research b-4 then after 4-Sure...It's your $'s, so I'd do what you think is best for you...

I'd personally prefer to own my own vehicle vs lease...I like to mod my rides in attempts to make them different then the rest & I know that you can't do that with a lease car (useless they can be removed b-4 your lease `ends...Wish you good luck on your decisions 4-Sure...
