How should I handle this? I belong to a car club and for the last 2 years I put on the Christmas party.?

Saturday, May 22nd, 2010

I do alot to bring this to the success that it has been. Making table centerpieces and individual gifts at each place for 40 people. Getting the hall setting up the menu... calling and getting prizes for a Chinese raffle and picking up the donations and sticking to a very low budget and spending $40 dollars of my own money. Bringing music... blah blah... after the party was over the restruant left the left over food in a box on the table and a women went over to the table and took all of the food.. I am so mad after all the work I feel I should at least had some say in where it went...

Do you think this is illegal?

I live in NYC. My husband came up with the idea of selling our car but by a raffle (lottery I guess). He wants to sell 100 tickets for $45. The car is in pretty good condition and we just want to sell it because we need the money since we're having a baby soon. Would this be illegal? Why? Thanks!

Is this what car shopping is REALLY like?

Tuesday, April 20th, 2010

I'm an 18 year old college student, and the only car I have ever owned was purchased second from a private party in a newspaper advertisement. Aside from that, I've had no experience with car shopping.

Yesterday, I received an advertisement from an auto dealership saying that they were giving away free raffle tickets to either a $50,000 prize, or a new Corvette. The only way to receive a ticket would be to come do a credit check to finance a car. (Something along those lines).

I figured "Hell, why not? It should only take a few minutes for them to tell me I don't have a enough credit, and I can still try for a Corvette."

I drove over, and one of the salesman said that in addition to running my credit, he could do an appraisal for my current car to get a trade in value, and while he did that I could look around and select a car I would like. I thought that was okay, and he asked for my my keys, which I gave to him.

While I looked through the car lot, another dealer constantly followed me around, practically breathing down my neck and giving long winded speeches about each car I approached. Resisting the urge to backhand him, I went into the building and took a seat to wait for the one who said he would check my credit. He appeared shortly afterwards and asked if I had selected a car, to which I claimed that I had not yet. He strongly urged me to go back out to the lot and choose a car.

Extremely annoyed, I went back out and "chose" a car just to humor him--all I wanted at this point in time was the f'ing raffle ticket so that I could see if I had won, and then leave.

He excitedly told me that my credit was approved, but I needed a cosigner. I told him I did not know anyone, but he said "Oh come on, your mom and dad loves you, right?" and lead me into an office and pointed to a telephone. He watched me as I dialed a number (which was actually my voicemail), and at this point in time, I didn't even want the raffle ticket anymore, I just wanted to go home. I pretended to leave a message and said to him "No one is home--can I just have my keys now? I really have to get going."

He said that "the technicians" were still appraising my car, but he would go find them...in the meantime, try thinking of some other numbers to call and ask.

He did not return for a solid 45 minutes, and searched all over the premises for him, demanding his whereabouts from any employee I came across. They all would tell me they would page for him, but nothing happened.

After he appeared again, I yelled for him to give me my keys, but he kept saying things like "But don't you want to see if you won the Corvette?" or "You're telling me you don't want a shot at $50,000" He asked me if I had even tried asking anyone to cosign for me, and I said "Yes, and the answer was no. The difference between me and you is that I know what the word means!"

He said he would give me the keys if I called them back, put them on the speaker phone, and let him do the talking. I said okay, and he turned on the speaker phone. I dialed a number, and when the person answered the phone and said "Avondale City Police--how may I help you?" he immediately pushed the hook, handed me the keys along with his business card and said "Think it over, okay?" I shoved him to the floor and left.

After this ordeal, I don't think I'll ever go to another car dealership. Has anyone ever deal with this before when they shop for a car? How do you deal with it in order to buy a car that you would really like instead of acting under duress?
KB: He said "the technicians" needed to fully evaluate the car, and I saw no problem with it. *smacks himself over the head*

how much would this car be worth?

Tuesday, April 6th, 2010

so im getting a '72 spitfire cause i won it in a raffle. i cant drive it, cause its got antique tags, and i cant pay for insurance im sure, if i switch the tags, so im gonna sell it, most likely. how much do you think it would be worth.

by the way, its got 32,750 miles, a catalytic converter, and brand new headers that cause it to get about 37 miles an hour. brand new shiny black paint, and convertible.
i cant drive it cause somewhere i heard that you can only drive cars with antique tags like, 7500 miles a year, and thats about 7 or 8 miles a day.

Is This A Good Experience Of A Battle From Ww1? Its For English.?

Sunday, December 20th, 2009

My heart is pounding in my chest. Words cannot describe the fear I am feeling. I clamber out of the boat, the sound of guns shooting, raffling through my brain. I collapse onto the floor, and heave myself across the rough sand. Stained red waves splashing into my face, as I sprawl across the sand. I take cover behind a ram. It was tall, black and shaped like a cross, as if it was destined to be our graveyard.
The smell of salt water and fresh air is not enough to disguise the overwhelming scent of burning, and gun powder. I’m sick to the pit of my stomach, as I struggled for each and every painful breath. All I can think about is if I would see my family again. I look up to see a young solider, he was quivering with horror, his head buried in his hands. I see him screaming, but the world seems to have gone into slow motion, drowning his screams.

Whats This Joke Mean???????

Monday, December 14th, 2009

Every year at the state fair Paul entered the lottery for the brand new truck and lost. This year, he told his friend David, he wasn't going to bother and enter.
"What kind of attitude is that?" David asked. He leaned closer and whispered, "What you need, pal, is faith. Look around and see if the good Lord sends you a message."
Strolling around the fair, Paul grew more and more despondent as the drawing neared. Nothing struck him, no divine inspiration, no sign from God.
Finally, while he was passing old Mrs. Kelleher's pie stand, he glanced over and saw the woman bending down. She wasn't wearing any panties, and suddenly her a*s began to glow. Suddenly a finger of flame came from the skies and without her even knowing it, used her a*s as a table. The fiery finger etched a seven on each cheek.
Thanking God, Paul rushed to the raffle booth and played the number 77.
A few minutes later, the drawing was held. And once again, Paul lost. The winning number was 707.
