Thread: Nascar

That makes two of us Chris. Robby has been crying and whining since before Kyle even had his drivers permit. Can't stand either of them.

Well it's a good and bad day.

Cry baby is out of the race.

Cards are sucking it up.

I go outside to pick a few green beans for supper,,,,,, come back in and KYLE has blown a tire and hit the wall-------AND I MISSED IT!!!!!!!!!!

Too bad, I bet he doesn't finish second now.

Bulletman

I missed it to. Good thing I have a DVR. Went back a few minutes and watched it. Dang he did not even whine to bad. Guess he will save it for the post race interview.

Kyle said on the prerace show that he considered second place the first loser of the race. So I guess today he is a loser x 38, to bad it was not 42.

I had a 2005 Tahoe and had one problem after another with it. And it was almost brand new. It spent as much time in the shop as it did in my garage. Those pricks over at the dealer ship were always rude and in now hurry to even attempt to get if fixed correctly. So that is when it said bye-bye.

I had the Ford F-250 diesel 4 door 4x4 and really liked that truck. But after having back surgery and selling off everything I had that was heavy and I need that truck to pull with I was thinking it was time to go. But I still liked the truck but didn't like the almost $5.00 a gallon diesel to put in it. So with that said can't beat on Ford. Wasn't there fault. It was those other pricks oversea's with all the crude.

WELL CHRIS I HAVE TO SAY THAT I USED TO SELL TOYOTA'S. I WAS OFFERED A JOB AS A CAR SALESMAN AT A TOYOTA, OLDSMOBILE & CAD DEALER IN JEFFERSON CITY. I TOLD THE SALES MANAGER THAT I COULDN'T ACCEPT THE JOB UNTIL I COULD BE CONVINCED THAT A TOYOTA WAS A GOOD PRODUCT. HE THANKED ME FOR MY HONESTLY UP FRONT AND TOLD ME THAT HE WOULD GIVE ME A PAID WEEK TO JUST DRIVE AND STUDY ALL THE TOYOTA INFO ON ALL THE CARS AND TRUCKS. IF I DIDN'T THINK THEY WERE GOOD ENOUGH I COULD WALK AWAY NO HARD FEELINGS! I TOOK THE JOB AFTER 3 DAYS! I SOLD ALOT OF TOYOTA CARS AND TRUCKS! AND I AM A DIEHARD FORD GUY!

I THINK THAT NO MATTER WHAT KIND OF CAR OR TRUCK YOU HAVE IF YOU DON'T HAVE A GOOD DEALER YOU DON'T HAVE NOTHING. I WOULDN'T BUY A TOYOTA IN SPRINGFIELD IF YOU GAVE IT TO ME! I REMEMBER TOO MUCH FROM MY SALES OF TOYOTAS. LOL I WOULDN'T BUY A FORD OR CHEVY EITHER IN SPRINGFIELD. I HAVE ONE DEALER THAT I HAVE WORKED WITH FOR SEVERAL YEARS. YES I HAVE TO DRIVE A LITTLE, BUT IT HAS BEEN WORTH IT TO ME.

ALOT OF PEOPLE DON'T LIKE SMALL TOWN DEALERS BUT I GET GREAT SERVICE. EXAMPLE ONE FRIDAY NIGHT I WAS SETTING UP A FIREWORKS SHOW AT THE SPRINGFIELD CARDINALS. IT WAS ABOUT 4 PM AND I PULLED IN AND BUSTED A LOWER RADIATOR HOSE ON MY F-250. CALLED THE FORD DEALER IN SPRINGFIELD NOPE THEY DIDN'T HAVE ONE AND NO HELP AT ALL. EVEN CALLED A RADIATOR SHOP 1 BLOCK FROM THE STATIUM THAT I COULD SEE AND WIFE KNEW OWNER AND OWNERS WIFE! NOPE SORRY WE ARE TOO BUSY AND ALL OUR GUYS WANT TO GET HOME BECAUSE IT IS FRIDAY NIGHT!LOL PAULA REALLY FOUND OUT WHAT KINDS OF FRIENDS THEY WERE! CALLED BILL GRANT FORD IN BOLIVAR, TALKED WITH THE PARTS MANAGER, NOPE HE DIDN'T HAVE ONE, WOULD HAVE TO ORDER IT AND IT WOULD TAKE 2 DAYS AND NO OTHER FORD DEALERS HAD ONE IN SWMO. EXPLAINED MY PROBLEM, WELL DAN I WILL CALL YOU BACK AS QUICK AS I CAN FIND YOU ONE. LOL 10 MINUTES LATER I GET A CALL FROM HIM TELLING ME THAT AN OREILLYS AUTO PARTS STORE ON GLENSTONE COULD GET ONE FROM THE WAREHOUSE AND DELIVER IT TO ME ON LOCATION. HE HAD A NAME FOR ME TO TALK WITH AND A PHONE NUMBER AND HE HAD EVERYTHING SETUP FOR ME! HAD THE PARTS ON SITE AT 4:45 PM! THATS CUSTOMER SERVICE IN MY BOOK! WOULD YOUR DEALERS PARTS GUY DO THAT ON A FRIDAY NIGHT AFTER 4 PM? NOPE! MY FORD DEALERS PARTS MANAGER GOT FREE TICKETS FOR A SPRINGFIELD CARDINALS GAME FOR HIS WHOLE FAMILY FROM ME FOR GOING THE EXTRA MILE.

WIFE AND I BOTH GET LOANER UNITS IF THEY NEED TO KEEP OUR UNITS OVER NIGHT. GRANTED LOL SOMETIMES THE BILL GRANT SALES REP THAT I DEAL WITH IN BOLIVAR IS A HARD CASE! LOL HE WILL KILL ME IF HE EVER SEES THIS, BUT WHEN YOU HAVE TO GET THE KEYS YOURSELF, FIND YOUR OWN DEALER TAG AND GO OUT ON YOUR OWN TEST DRIVE MOST PEOPLE WOULD CONSIDER THIS A JOKE. I LIKE THE IDEA MYSELF NO PRESSURE. KELLY GRANT HAS ALWAYS JUST LET ME DO WHAT I WANT. HE KNOWS I AM GOING TO STUDY EVERYTHING BEFORE I CONSIDER ANY PRICES PERIOD. AND ANY GUY WHO WOULD PRINT OFF LOCATIONS OF DIFFERENT DEALERS WHO HAVE THE DIFFERENT TRUCK COLORS YOU ARE WANTING AND GIVE YOU THAT LIST HAS TO BE NUTS! I DROVE OVER 500 MILES ONE WEEKEND LOOKING AT DIFFERENT COLORS OF FORD TRUCKS ON LOTS TRYING TO FIND THE COLOR I WANTED. THAT WAS BEFORE FORD HAD ALL DEALER INVENTORYS ONLINE. THEN AFTER I FOUND WHAT I WANTED I JUST GOT ON THE PHONE AND ORDERED THE TRUCK FROM KELLY. I NORMALLY ORDER MY PICKUPS BECAUSE I ONLY WANT WHAT I WANT AND NOTHING ELSE.

WIFE AND I BOTH GET ALL OUR SERVICE WORK DONE UP THERE. I KNOW MOST OF THE GUYS IN THE SHOP. THEY KNOW TO LOOK AT EVERYTHING CLOSE BECAUSE I DRIVE FAST AND HARD. WE NEVER WAIT OVER 10 MINUTES AFTER OUR APPOINTMENT TIME FOR OUR UNITS TO BE TAKEN BACK FOR OIL CHANGES. THE GUY WHO CHANGES OUR OIL LOOKS AT EVERYTHING. HE EVEN HAS POINTED OUT NAILS IN TIRES, LEAKS ON SHOCKS, A BUSTED SPRING ON ONE PICKUP YOU NAME IT. HE KEEPS MY AIR PRESSURE IN MY TIRES AT MAX LIKE I WANT THEM. HE FINDS THE PROBLEMS BEFORE THEY LEAVE ME ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. AND HE COMES AND GETS ME TO SHOW THEM TO ME AND HE KNOWS BEFORE HE EVEN ASKS TO GET ON IT AND GET IT FIXED.

AND THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS I KNOW WHEN MY WIFE GOES UP THERE THAT SHE WILL NOT BE TAKEN ADVANTAGED OF IN ANY WAY, SHAPE OR FORM. I TRUST THE GUYS IN THE SHOP TO FIND AND FIX ANY PROBLEMS AND NOT PUT ON A BUNCH OF EXTRAS BECAUSE SHE IS A WOMAN! SOME REPAIR SHOPS IN SWMO STILL THINK WOMEN ARE STUPID AND WILL REALLY PILE ON THE EXTRA STUFF.
