I'd suggest a Saab 9-5 Aero estate with a manual gearbox for family duty, while keeping the Panda for lone commuting.

Arc is nice too: More power than linear but with better fuel economy and some comfy upgrades vs Aero.

He had another small breakdown and went scorched earth on facebook. Haven't heard from him since.

Dude had actual brain trauma some years back. He was always abrasive but after his accident he had a hair trigger.

Gotcha. I didn't start spending much time in AI until after he wasn't around very much a couple years ago.

I can hardly imagine the frustration of brain damage.

I am sure you are all familiar with EuroCarParts https://www.eurocarparts.com/ and their bizarre pricing strategy of high prices on the website with discount codes on the same website.

Well, I found this oddly-similar site https://www.carparts4less.co.uk/ with a smaller range of the same products at cheaper prices, even with the ECP discount codes applied.

I ordered from both and they are the same company: same products, same DHL shipping, same packaging, everything

High price/Heavy promos is a strategy that actually works pretty well for a while but once people catch on or your margins become too high for the promos to work it kind of falls apart. A lot of people love to feel like they're getting a deal even if they really aren't.

It seems like that company wants to have their cake and eat it too or something by doing both :shrug:

That's my thought, too.

Seems odd, because anyone who is willing to order stuff online is usually savvy enough to check the prices on the usual places before making a decision and brake pads aren't an impulse buy, so you have time to search

e.g.

You might be surprised at how often it works. Limited time frame 20% off hits ya right in the psychology.

Or its just a good looking color combo. Also, bronze wheels own in general. Granted, I say this as a person with a dark grey car. Bronze is basically my only non-black non-boring option.



These are great looking.

I'm a big fan of these:

Sometimes I think I have IBS but then I remember all the beer I drink and all the spicy food I eat.
