They sound delish. Going to give it a shot one of these weekends. Saw the mix on WS and some recipes online as well. :-:

If ur not willing to spend money on the stickers then yeah but since I would pay it i got upgraded much more often. 76% as a Gold and 100% as a Plat.

EXP will be bliss for me

What kind of car do you have again?

Here I'm in the debate of a 2010 Jetta TDI now or a Focus Titainum in the spring.

It's a 1998 Ford - the replacement transmission (which has been refunded as it failed under warranty) is making a rattle in other gears. Current acquisition plan for other vehicle is Thursday night - seller is a good friend who needs to get his wife a Mercury Milan first

Jetta TDIs are pretty common around here despite the 25 cent or so premium for diesel.

Interesting, so it's okay to stock up on Nutella and Walkers but it's not okay to take soda cans home?

Anyone here doing the SunTrust business checking account deal for DL miles? I'm going to call the people Gary Leff posted about tomorrow to see if I can still get in. Basically $550 for 250,000 DL miles and a little work.

Yeah, I posted here in October that I took quite a few home and got reamed but apparently it's okay to take walkers and nutellas home for some people and it's not okay for some other people...some people have a funny sense of humor on FT I guess...YMMV...

I think everything has to be set up and funded by 12/31. You might also have to do the 1 transaction on the debit card by then too. I'm going to call tomorrow to get more info and I'll let you know. There aren't any hard pulls and you only have to fund the account with $1,000 + the debit card fees of $55/each.

So you need $10,000 + $550 + The Time?

35 mpg average (41 highway) has something to do with that. It seems they are faster off the line than the gas version.
