I did this when Pride Hyundai failed my car for brakes... I checked the brakes beforehand and knew they were a little worn but within specification. The DMV confirmed they were OK... went back to Pride with the DMV paperwork and asked for the service manager, but they sent out the tech who failed the inspection. He apologized and said they tell them to fail brakes if they're close. It's pisses me off because most people will just say "I need my car" and pay the $1200. It's usually an easy job any shady-tree mechanic can do for less than $500.

"the stars just arnt as bright at the beginning of the night as they are late late night, like 430 or 5 on todays date"

Don't believe this is true... I'm up at 5:30am everyday and some days (like today) the stars are spectacular. But a cold front came through overnight and there's less moisture in the air making the skies appear clearer. That's why stars look so much brighter in the winter.

Watch Fox news, they will show you. I often feel like there are two realities.... the one shown of Fox News and the one on CNN. Both are garbage in my mind; it's not news, more like 90% opinions and party bashing. Sucks. I agree things need to change, but if you demand it all at one time you're going to get resistance from those who want things to stay the same.

Yet here we are where our government can't do a damn thing because of the party-lines. Total BS and it's destroying America. We need elected officials who will work together rather than only support one party. Sometimes you need to give a little to get what you want
