My neighbor sold a couch on Facebook Marketplace. The buyer wanted to use Zelle. She said okay, but then he told her she needed to open a Zelle “business account”. He told her he would need to send her more than the $800 she was asking, because the minimum for a business account is $1200. She smelled something fishy and blocked him. Beware!!
You and your team are a class act!!! Thanks for all you do.
LOL, I'll be online senior 75 living alone and loving it

Thank you Team Clark.

Clark. The reason Hyundai's and Kias are being targeted is the following. The manufacturers built the cars without an engine immobilizer (2011-2021 for Kia: 2015-2021 for Hyundai), when every other manufacturers has had engine immobilizers as standard from late in the 1990's. If you noticed the dates I mentioned, that means, YES, both brands had engine immobilizers before those dates. Once the flaw was discovered, it was posted on the internet, and it became a youth challenge to steal them and film themselves joyriding in them. They intentionally wreck the cars after the joy rides.
Yes, you got it. Both manufacturers actually removed a theft deterrent safety feature that was standard on every vehicle brand, including their own. Dumb. My 1990 Camry had an engine immobilizer.
I have one of those vehicles and am now uncomfortable parking it anywhere, so I'm forced to drive my alternate vehicle which has a manual transmission.
NOTE- The theft rate for those two brands in some cities is more than 40% of all cars stolen.
Both manufacturers are not taking responsibility to automatically place and engine immobilizer product into the cars affected, which is millions of cars. The two companies have suggested that owners buy an engine immobilizer kit, which cost about $80 (Compustar brand) from Amazon or Best buy. Then they recommend that their dealers install the kit. I priced it with my dealer, and their charges to install the kit, is more than $500.
Unacceptable, since it was the manufacturers who removed the immobilizer software and hardware, from vehicles that had it in the past. Not sure how you didn't hear about this because these thefta have spread like wildfire via the internet, all over the country.
Youth have been arrested by police at gunpoint for stealing these cars.
Worse many of the youth are around 12 years old and above.
Most are stolen from homeowners or apartment dwellers driveways and parking lots at night. However, most recently one was stolen in broad daylight from a park, less than 3 mi from my home.
I do Aldis store brands!!
Clark, look up how to pronounce "awry".
About your store brand segment. I keep saying how stupid people have become. They just keep buying the same brand name stuff at much higher prices just because they always buy that brand. What a bunch of morons.
Krista has a college-age child. Mind blown. She holds her age extremely well. You go girl!!!
Clark, how am I going to “simply “ go a week without your morning talks on YouTube? Have a nice Thanksgiving. Krista, you look too young to have a child in college. Keep up the good work.
Buffalo bills Sunday at Detroit and then again on Thursday.
Happy Thanksgiving!
