Well my youngest totaled his car last week

With the value of used vehicles still being a bit wild the insurance company paid us almost the amount we paid for the car 4 years ago

Found a 2016 with 58k miles and to our luck... some one at the other dealership marked the vehicle with the wrong price on the window sticker (much less than it was advertised for)

I won't say it's a complete win, but yay that problem is solved... time for a beer

I hope he is ok. Car wrecks suck. Glad you got a good deal on a replacement.
 
Bros......

I rarely do this, but I'd like to get serious for a second.......

I need help......


I need help, because I have a 1994 Ford Ranger that the tape player doesn't work. It won't accept any tape that I try to insert into it. I've tried: the Zep, Cougar, Bellamy Bros, Nitty Gritty.......and wait.... even Duran Duran.... (please see attached pics)....nothing seems to work.....☹️

The cassette won't stay in.....I've tried EVERYTHING!!!!!! And by everything, I mean, once I blew compressed air into the slot (a.k.a. Nintendo Fix) and nothing! Please believe me, I tried the air for like 10-15 seconds!!!

I'm really at a loss here......

WHAT DO I DO?!?!??!?!

And I even went and tried again....this time with a "Sure Fire" guaranteed to accept and stay, Whitney Houston cassette, and guess what? Nothing.....please see pic attached and advise on next steps......I'm at a loss here....🫤

We'll agree to disagree. I prefer them by a wide margin.

I’ve never seen machines with so many issues. They’re fine for internet browsing, but that seems to be about it. The only thing they have going for them (IMO) is they’re cheap. (ETA - not trying/wanting to be argumentative about it. I really don’t care that much about it lol.)

Don’t bother with the head unit. Get a new truck… ;) 🤣

My Mans...... the pickup cost $300 and the tires cost $1000, can't find a replacement for that price!!

If that ain't some Redneck stuff........


I just need that tape player to go!

I kinda figured that (and much respect, I love old trucks). Hardly seems worth replacing the deck though.

Did you punch it?

Did you call it dirty names?

Did you caress it after you punched it and talk to it like it was the love of your life

If a button hasn't fallen off there's still hope!!!!
