No, I think he bought it for under $1k and sold it about a year later for about $1k. Worse than Snook, it is rare for him to keep a nice car for more than a couple years. I can just barely remember that car. When I was I high school and starting to become car-aware, we looked up its book

My youngest has a 17 Toshiba with an i7 processor that we bought in 2010 for close to $1000 at one of the big box office supply stores. With the exception of adding a high capacity battery a couple of years ago, it's still going strong. Dan Sent from my iPad On Jan 6, 2015, at 10:19 PM,

Valero generally thinks different from the rest of the pack. Their MO is to buy up distressed real estate (refineries and stations) and then run them cheap. In the ethanol meltdown a few years ago, they bought up several ethanol refineries. That gives them an edge on E10 Benzin. Don't

Interestingly diesel is holding over $3.00 (generally $3.09) in MA but down to $2.93 just over the border in NH. That tells me the MA stations are seriously raping us on price since NH has a higher fuel tax and traditionally prices climb 15-20 cents when I cross the border. Gas is around $2.39

Don't know if I mentioned it already, but the Valero station on River Road in Bethesda, MD is selling diesel for $2.99, which is surprising since there is no other competition for at least a mile away, where the price is 40 cents higher... On Tue, Jan 6, 2015 at 2:48 PM, Curt Raymond via Mercedes

While I'm all for a Mac, for most people they just don't make good fiscal sense to me. If you want a decent laptop and don't need some sort of high end gaming rig, $500 will buy a very capable (Windows) laptop. Dan Sent from my iPad On Jan 6, 2015, at 4:54 PM, Andrew Strasfogel via Mercedes

I have been tracking the lower end laptops for #2 boy. The 15 models can be had for $250 at Fry's. That gets you a dual core, 4 gig ram, and 500 gig drive. They run Win 8 out of the box. Those are good enough to run for a few years and swap out for another. Cutting edge laptops would be
