I went to the Ford Dealership on the way home from work. Bought 1 nut, 51 cents. Put it on Visa. Sorry parts guy and chick who does the invoices .

If you paid cash, you could’ve saved a penny.

I know! screwed by the rounding system (another thing American s won’t get)

I never, ever carry cash.

How about money you can differentiate from a distance? I don’t think they’d get that, either.

I always have enough money for food and a tank of gas in my wallet, just in case.

lol. HEY WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU’RE GOING.

I may have....not tightened the nuts after installing the rally lights and lost one.  That’s what you get when you wrap up at 1am

I am so pooched in an emergency.  I should really make a little bag of “in case of emergency” stuff for the cars.

I’ve got a first aid kit, tire pump, and extra washer fluid in my car. I’d recommend it.

Yeah, but you know it will never happen.  Gun control and getting rid of the penny?  Are you from commie land?  WE MUST CONTINUE DOING THINGS THAT MAKE NO SENSE.

Tons of people actually do it. I have no idea why. If you have all seasons and drive carefully when we get our annual inch, you’ll be fine.

I hang out around a lot of circus performers, so I’ve picked up juggling, cyr wheel, and various other mostly useless physical skills. Nunchucks being one of them. Flew down to California, only to realize....

Possession of nunchucks—that’s two pieces of wood connected by a string—is a felony weapon charge and can get you 3 years in jail and a 5 figure f ine. But guns are okay . And kitchen knives. Baseball bat’s. Steel-toed boots. Ice skates (sharp!). If I’d been searched, I could have wound up in jail for possessing foam wrapped, hard plastic, practice nunchucks.

The best part? After banning nunchucks, the San Francisco Police force was equipped with them, because of course. To this day, a lot of American police forces have at least one officer who has been *professionally trained* to use nunchucks.

I think I was watching a cop clip on youtube to this effect recently. Dude was being searched, the pull a loaded gun from his waistband, place it on the car and then a butterfly knife.

Dude catches charges from the knife.

I liked the tv show about towing on the coq. Those guys were funny but obviously knew what they were doing.

Sounds about right

I travel strange routes at strange hours,  got a wool blanket, candles and a jam jar, 3 touques, mitts etc in my “prairie crash kit” and a 600cca booster pack.

Awesome! The dealer probably paid more to Chase or Moneris to process that Credit Card payment than you paid to them.

I’m surprised they even charged you.  I’ve ordered nuts and bolts from Audi dealers before and they just give them to me.  If it’s less than a few bucks it’s not worth the effort really.

Lol, pretty dramatic, I’ve driven it for 20 years now and haven’t seen anything like one of their episodes.

I’m not dumb though and stay low of the weather is terrible. It snows 30-50cm if wet coastal heavy snow at once on the other side near the snowsheds. Nothing is going to make that fun.

The closest I’ve gotten was buying two woodruff keys for my Civic. I had $11 dollars on me and it came out to like $1.12 or something stupid.
