Simply random stuff

Bugatti's Mistral just became the fastest open-top road car​

The roadster, wearing a one-off black-and-orange paint scheme, pulled off an incredible 282-mph

I'm guessing no one has made that magic 300 mph in a production car yet?

I can't imagine that speed in a car. My hot rod Z28 only had a 155 mph speedometer. But as time went by I kept programming the top speed lower and lower to stop myself from doing stupid. Except on the interstate I pretty much drive 55 these days.
I crashed my old Chevelle into a bridge in the dark and flipped end over end and landed in a creek, upside down. You'd think that would have taught me something. Well it was late coming.

Actually, this was not third party. Sold by Amazon.

Ouch

Ouch

Yeah man! I looked at that product again, and I can't see anywhere that it says restock fee. Even if it did have a restock fee, surely they wouldn't expect you to pay if the thing was damaged, etc. What almost freaks me more is, did they take what I returned and sell it? Without fixing it???

It don't always work out , but keep being the squeaky wheel. I've been screwed over a time or two by the Amazon.

I might expect it could be resold in what Amazon calls a Pallet Liquidation Sale.

Buyers buy overstocked/returned/defective Amazon goods by the pallet & resell. If they buy enough they can label themselves as an "Amazon Outlet Store". These are short term pop ups. These happen about twice a year around here. My wife and I have only been to one, just barely pre-pandemic. Big sign on the door in multiple languages: "all sales final no returns."

We found china, clothes, greeting/holiday cards, lights, posters, blow up dolls & dildos. Nothing worthwhile audio or tech. Enter at your own risk. We bought 4 tea pots for our g'daughters.
