My nephew has two tickets for the 2024 SUPER BOWL, both box seats. He paid $2,500 each ticket, but he didn't realize last year when he bought them, it was going to be on the same day as his wedding. If you are interested,
he is looking for someone to take his place...It's at St. Joseph Church, in Tampa at 3pm. Her name is Melissa . She's 5'7 about 140 lbs. She's a good cook, too. She'll be the one in the white dress..
PS: Copy and paste and make someone laugh today!!

Man comes in to shop today. He left angry. He’s got a vehicle that he says needs a part replaced. “Oh I’ve got my own part already”, and at that point I knew it was turning bad. I kept my mouth shut and proceeded to look up the cost to install the part that he’d already purchased. So he’s chatting while I’m looking, I hear him say he’s already replaced many parts on his vehicle to fix what ales his vehicle but it’s still messed up. Oh I so wanna be a smart butt at this point, but I continue what I’m doing without saying a lot.
See in general, a customer tells us what’s malfunctioning on the vehicle and it’s my responsibility to test, diagnostic and figure out the problem and then advise the best way to repair the issue.
So I’m finally complete looking up the costs to install the parts he’s purchased already and give him the price. “WHAT?!?” “Just to install that part?!?”
Yes I said. Then he asks, and I kid you not, he asks me, “what’s the warranty on that?” OMG. Now I’m really ready to be a smart butt, however I refrained, trying to maintain my professionalism. Sir, I cannot warranty a part you’ve purchased online. I’m sorry, it just doesn’t work that way.
“Well if you install it and it fails, I shouldn’t have to pay again!!”
It was at this point I knew, Sir we’re not gonna be able to help you with this. That’s how my day went, hoping for a better day tomorrow.

For anyone that doesn’t know, this is what happens when the engine oil isn’t changed on a regular basis. The photo is from under the valve cover. The oil pan will be the same way. This engine is destroyed.
