It's cheap but the place is trashed. We'll have to do a full internal tear-down. Like everything gone.

Those must be some really shitty houses. Here in the T-Dot, you can't even buy a garden shed for that kinda skrilla.

You would be disgusted with housing prices here. It's pretty ridiculous actually. Average place here probably sells for 4-5 times as much as in Ottawa.

Somewhere between the Oak Ridges Moraine and Mount Albert is calling my name when the GF (wife by then) and I will be buying a house. I need a big yard and a long driveway. Not to mention a colossal garage.

Get this all the time... We have a session on for 1100 off. Guy comes in today, and says he has enough for the bike before tax, will that cover it? We arent making enough cash to take another 12% off...

Does it piss anybody else off when those cheap bastards that want another __% off the already discounted bike have a Mercedes Benz parked outside plus a $___ iPhone? When those cheap bastards asked me for more discounts, I just point out to them how much their other shit costs.

"Soooooo, you have a $500+ phone and you are haggling over 11 cents on the price of a bike?"

Also, god damn anybody who asks for a discount on service. God damn them to hell.

My boss never once discounted service despite all the assclowns that asked. He would just tell them straight up "Service is how we make our money to keep the doors open."
