I'm not going to weigh in on the wisdom of buying a warranty, as a former car salesman I just want to point out a few things:
- Make sure the plan is from a reputable company. I was at a Honda dealer, but we sold plans from Toyota Motor Insurance Co. Honda Care is equally good, but requires service at a dealer. Toyota had a couple thousand participating locations.
- We were hammered to sell these. I got $25 per. A full-up 7yr/100k plan sold for $1680. I happened to see some paperwork and a check waiting for a courier one day - our cost was $620.
- Typically there's a $50/visit deductible. Buyers were seldom told they could get a zero deductible for another $75.
- You should be able to both cancel and transfer your plan. If you've rolled it into your auto loan, the finance company will receive the refund.
Actually, I think this bill might be a grudge match. Last year (IIRC) a guy w/a camera on his RC plane bagged a packing plant in TX that was dumping blood into the local river through a secret pipeline inspectors never saw. Sorry too lazy to find the link.
The original Batmobile was created by George Barris, and as such screams George Barris, not Batman. It may actually be one of his most tasteful creations!
In the 70s, friends in Ecuador used to occasinally send us candy. Mostly chocolate bars w.peanuts, and pressed coconut w/cocoa.. The chocolate bars were tolerant of higher temperatures and had a different mouth feel. Not bad, just different (and delicious).
I'd support this when the Mint can pull its head out of its ass and come up with a dollar coin that CANNOT be mistaken for a quarter. It just doesn't seem that difficult to stamp something like a 12-sided coin.
Actually, the company had some customers that would only accept US-made product, after being burned by the quality coming out of our Chinese plant. In other cases Chinese product was shipped to the US plant for rework before going to the end user. I don't intend to generalize, but I spent close to two months working with our Chinese manufacturing engineers and found a real lack of analytical thinking and common-sense problem solving, along with a great reluctance to make vendors solve their quality issues.
I worked on an optical/ceramic-walled metallization furnace that started shipping a year ago. Apparently our US marketing people didn't come up with sufficiently catchy buzz to generate sales. I was laid off in September after documenting all the assembly procedures for our new plant in... Shanghai:-(
It's partly because people don't understand the phone's noise cancellation feature, and partly because the feature doesn't work worth a damn. I can remember (distant past) hams with vox setups who said "uhhh" all the time to keep the mike active. It's a similar problem.
Knew a lobsterman who told me he'd steam for two hours, come up on his Loran set point - cut the throttle, stick his gaff out the port side of the boat and grab his trawl, without fail. In the dark. Sounds a bit better than 200 m. He had the lobsters to prove it!

That's often sold to the public as an altruistic mission.

It's about someone wanting to be governor after Cuomo.
My friend's African Grey loves to munch on chicken wings.
They were pioneers in shitty plastic lenses and selling less film for more money. And obsolescence - Instamatic, Pocket Instamatic, Disc etc.

The company was already in bankruptcy, and not for the first time - http://dealbook.nytimes.com/2012/11/16/hostess-brands-says-it-will-liquidate/
Or buy lettuce and get free velcro. I have a stash of velcro, twist ties and rubber bands in a bowl on the kitchen counter.

Since prior art counts for little, has anyone rushed to patent disemvoweling?
they're doing it for the lulz
Well duh, all the best pizzas have eight slices!!
Sorry, the exhaust note from a six sounds like Felix Unger clearing his sinuses. You may haul ass, but there's no sex appeal in the way it sounds.
