I had a couple bugs and two Meyers Manx dune buggies. Loads of fun for cheap back then (1970s).
If the Jetta is in fact down for the count, I have a line on a 1973 Super Beetle that I may jump on. I've owned a 1966 (first car), '67, '68, '69, and '72 Beetles and a '71 Bus. Man I would take any one of them back now...

When I was a Boy Scout (68 - 75), our Troop Chaplain had one.
It was forest green.

When I got married in June 1982, Mr. Cordineer and the other Troop adult leaders were invited guests.
He said Grace for us at the start of the dinner.

Winfield Pease, one of the adult leaders in attendance, made it to 105 years of age.

To the OP - has anyone negotiated with Breezeline - recently? I did some time back with Atlantic Broadband, and got the current deal I have now, with fees for the items fairly low and - somehow - free Showtime and Cinemax which have both proven astonishingly useless. They just threw it in as a gimme.

The last two times I called and wanted to negotiate they sent me to the retention department, which was an indian call center. Completely useless. I had to talk to the sales department about signing up a "new" account in order to drop my internet speed tier.

Before I negotiated my current deal - I was offered a seriously fantastic deal where my bill was about cut in half, they offered everything and sealed with a kiss for five years. The next month when I called and asked "he what gives?" since it didn't change, they said the sales person didn't know what they were doing but - since they were on the hook - they offered me my current deal for four years.

Which has been FINE until they kept tacking on FEES making the original deal nigh unto useless. I'm paying 250+ for a deal I was paying under 180 for just a year ago.

If OTA was even POSSIBLE down here, I'd do it, but I really don't want to go that route. At least two of my friends have dropped cable for the streaming stuff, like YouTube TV or something similar. Still trying to persuade the family, since we mostly watch streaming now anyway.

I mentioned ESPN earlier, and just remembered I had this meme saved awhile ago....

We are test driving Hulu +. One month in and I am canceling Breezy except for internet. More than enough content for us. I suppose as soon as they lose enough cable customers then cable internet price will skyrocket.
you may end up keeping TV depending on how they discount for bundling.
I have only internet and while the price has gone up several times, I haven't seen any improvement in service, still routine outages in bad weather

Save on packages that include only the services you want.
That's BS! A Breezeline salesman called the store this week. Apparently our contract is ending so he wants to renew. But guess what - the package we have is no longer available! We signed on with the bare minimum - we don't need a lot of speed, only a reliable connection - which Breezeline has been for us during the almost 3 years we have had them when comparing to Verizon DSL. Give me the cheapest package you have which was the 25Mbps download speed at the time we signed on. Well I can no longer get that speed on a contract basis so would have to go to the monthly pricing, which I think he said is $20/month more than we are paying now. BUT I can get the 100Mbps speed on a 3 year contract for only $10 more per month than I am paying now. But I don't need to go that fast - it only encourages my employees to watch regular porn vs midget porn.

So yeah, I guess I'm off midget porn now. :confused:

On a side note. I did notice that the "fee" for the privilege to receive a paper bill went from $1 to $2. Damn paper inflation! :rolleyes:
Don't get me started on the paper bill fee! Just go ahead and charge everyone a fee for billing in general, whether paper, email, or text. It costs you just as much to maintain a secure payment/billing website as it does to send a piece of paper in the mail.

But there is a shortage on paper that I didn't realize until just a few days ago.
