This is just how I imagine artisanal breads should be delivered the world round—in the back a well-worn and homey Renault R4 van.

I’m just picturing this in context of modern food safety standards… and I don’t think it is necessarily that bad compared to how some is actually done in practice
-
Just don’t think about how food is carried in bulk on ships, and what the previous cargo might have been.

BMW started up their bread truck lines back up in the late nineties.-
Express bread delivery suits me just fine. From oven to door, still nice and warm.

The one pictured above is missing the cover for its distinctive “giraffe hatch,” probably to permit better ventilation of the fresh loaves, thereby making it an early example of a hot hatch.
No, I won’t apologize for that.

D’ough!

Anyone who thinks you kneed to apologize will be told politely, but firmly to leave. It’s the yeast I can do.

You’re on a roll..

No bun intended?

Doh!

Nice to see all these idiots rise to the challenge. It goes against the grain but I’m also a gluten for punishment.

That door can be such a “pain”.

That is the truth,no matter how you slice it.

Not sure I’ve ever seen anyone advertising their alumni status from this particular institution before.

Trump U probably issues their plate frames in gold, I imagine. Or maybe “gold”.-
Is their emblem really an Arizona shrimp? 😉

Hey, Batshitbox! And any other bikers near enough to NorCal to be interested, I got an inside scoop on the Oakland Motorcycle Club’s Sheetiron 300: there are still something like 30-35 slots open, so you’re interested, it’s not too late to sign up: http://oaklandmotorcycleclub.camp9.org/event-2463971
Due to damage from the rains, there are a bunch of trails that can’t be used in the Mendocino National Forest, so it’s going to be limited single track this year. But it should still be fun. -
There can only be one…or can it?

So I’d like to buy a used car from a dealer, and hand in my current car as part of the deal.
I am naive and inexperienced with car negotiations, how should I approach this? Discuss the whole deal right up front? Negotiate the price of the new car first, then the value of the turn-in?-
Generally, if you tell the sales person that you have a trade-in, they will have an appraiser take a look at your car while you take the one you’d like to buy for a test drive. Just be knowledgeable of market values for both cars before you start talking money.

The Škoda? I don’t know if I have heard of a fair dealer trade in value in Norway. I was certain that I could have sold my MIL’s Camry for 90k when she, as the most loyal and yes-I-pay-for-everything kind of customer was offered 30k, while buying a full price brand spanking new Auris. Hence we got the Camry. Former student friends, too, get cut off like that all the time.

I’m expecting similar recklessness… The new car, a T4 with Westfalia roof, is about 15% over the offers of other dealers, and still “bought as seen” (but with a fresh tech inspection).
The old car, the exterior mess and interior comfort and practicality a Roomster is, is kind of rare, it’s hard to pinpoint a price.
The better T4 offer is about 7hrs away, and I hate the idea of going there and negotiate a deal with the weak handle of “throw in floor mats or I’ll drive home again …tomorrow”
The only thing good with the local offer is that it’s three months on their lot already, so there is something.-
Yeah, I’ve burned myself more times than is reasonable with travelling too far to look at cars. Just put the Roomster out on Finn and see what happens? It’s still new

If you have one nearby, go to CarMax and have them make you an offer. They usually will unless your car is really old and/or beat-up. Their offer process is free, and the offer is good for 7 days. You can use it as a -fact- that your tradein is worth the amount CarMax offers.
I was always taught that you should negotiate the price of the new car first -all in- and then tell them you’ll trade your car if the net deal comes out better than selling it to CarMax.
However, I’m curious to see what more experienced horse-traders have to say.
By the way, I always do the same thing on auto loans – see what terms you can get from your bank before you go car shopping. Do the deal saying that you have financing but will use the dealer’s bank if they can beat the terms from your own bank. Since the salesman usually gets a kick-in from the bank for bringing good customers, you can often work this to your advantage too.
