Can I help you,you know the score the salesman quickly scans you and decides you can,t afford what he,s selling,happens a lot to me.And I,ve been in some very upmarket showrooms and heard some quality bs but I was impressed when reading my daily paper over luncheon  that the new Rolls Royce Phantom (2.2 tons of cowhide iron and plastic) would deliver "an unfussed surge of power when one needs to press on"classic English, americanised "it rips" . geoff |

I dream of the day i'd cash my lotto jackpot check. I'd walk into a showroom looking like i just finished a day at a blue collar job. I'd get scanned over, redirected to the cheapass cars, and then asked to start doing my credit check/loan application. My credit is horse manure anyway, but i'd get turned down for that 2018 focus or whatever. As i'm shuffled toward the door, i'd tell them they just lost out on a lotto winner wanting a custom mustang. I still wonder how many car lots i'd walk out of before they would actually ask me first what i want and how its being paid for. Idk if thats jackassery on my part, but i dont want to be judged by my cover...

A few years ago, I started making pretty good money (not anymore haha) One day I needed a haircut, and the normal chain places were booked up, and there was a cheap haircutting salon owned by a Vietnamese family down the street from my house that had '$10 man haircut' on the window. I went in, and they were busy but moving steadily. They gave me a haircut, shampoo, and even a little shoulder massage for $15. $15. Half as much as hair masters or somebody would charge, and the girl took probably an hour on it making sure it was perfect( I think she was new maybe). So I dropped a $50 on the counter. Told the girl (who looked maybe 25 and had a little son running around) keep the change. Next time I came in, and very time after that, I tip at least $15-20 cuz I figure that's what I'd spend in hair masters and these people are a local family running a business. I've learned that its way better to give your business to those who deserve it rather than those who think they are entitled to it.

201`4 taotao thunder stock is 3.5 HP @35-40 down hill...now with my upgrades it will do 60MPH max and crusie at 55 with the new 52mmHoca BBK, and the Taida racing big valve head.
maybe 65MPH who knows with a 50MPH speedometer..all I know is it goes even with the high beam indicator
