my brother wanted to buy this '97 BMW 318si. it had like 98k miles on it. so he decides he's really interested and my mom drives the car to a BMW dealership to check it out (my brother is in Sacramento, my mom in LA. the car is in LA.) the car checks out fine and it's all gravy, so then my dad (in sacramento) goes to the credit union to finalize everything. he's told that if the car has over 100,000 miles, the interest rate will go from 6% to 10%. it turns out the drive to the BMW mechanic tacked on 8 miles, bringing the mileage to 106k, bringing the interest rate up to 10%. now we don't want the car because the interest rate is too high. how lame is that?!

how the hell did a drive between sacramento and los angeles add up to 8,000 miles?
even if you drove back and forth twice it still wouldn't equal 2,000 miles...

no no no. i said my mom drive it to the auto mechanic, which added 8 miles. (not 8 thousand) so that brought the mileage up to 106k, changing the interest rate from 6% to 10%

it was at 98,000 miles - your mom drove the car to the mechanic 8 miles away.
98,000 + 8 = 98,008
how the fuck did it get to 106,000?

yeah i was wondering as well, but never dared to ask for not 'getting it'..
has your mom driven it thru a wormhole or something??
*insert twilight zone melody

oooh yeah sorry my bad. it must have been like 99,998 miles and then the drive to the mechanic changed it to over 100k. sorry that was stupid math on my part. i'm designing right now, gimme a break

i wonder what your grids look like with math like that homie. when you design do you smoke crack rocks for inspiration?
;)

hahahahahahahahahaha
thx for the laugh tho..
you should have kept us clueless for a while, it was just starting to get funny.
- abstrakt0
my mistake was i said 106k instead of 100,006 miles :) but yeah, i smoke the crack. sometimes i just chew a fat crack rock when i'm feeling really down.
