Dealer Trouble

The car dealer where we got our truck was on national TV the other night as well. It seems that they have been a little deceptive about exactly what they are including in the price and the interest rate that buyers who need credit will get. This appears to be a common problem and this particular dealership is no better or worse than any others

Wife on TV!

My wife has been on the local TV news. Recently there has been resurfacing work on one of our city's major roads. We cross this road at traffic lights on our way to our favorite restaurants and shops. During the work the road surface here was so bad that cars were grounding themselves and creeping over the 4” high ramps that had been left between the old surface and the new. Cars were moving so slowly that long queues were building up. My wife e-mailed the local TV news and asked why they had not carried any reports about the problems this was causing. A couple of days later they rang up and requested that she meet them near the roadwork for an interview. That night wy famouse wife was on screen for a few seconds and a valuable 2 minutes of airtime was dedicated to the problem.
