I :member: this ... it must have been some kind of internal BS metric. You can not falsify sales externally as a publically traded company, that's the most heavily audited line of them all.
Right but if it’s sold to the dealership or GM or whoever and re sold the next day.... it’s technically a sale and maybe that’s enough to bump them a bonus bracket.

It it "trued" up as the sale that doesn't result in a "payment" is not a sale, it is missing the COGs offset. It will be listed as a return for the next month, offsetting the following month's sale figure. The only way to make this scheme work, in accounting ways is to keep growing the balance, until it turns SO big that the whole thing collapses.

Finally got word that I got the job(woot). Will potentially be getting a Jeep issued to me. I assume a GC. There is a possibility that it'll be a "big sedan" .Hurry up and wait.

Van is currently in the shop getting a new oil cooler(?) Heater core lines and plugs. $1150

Would the EGR valve replacement have a potential effect on heater core lines?

Unemployment Insurance. Shutdown hasn't affected us yet. Coming at this time if year, we are fine. It's a federally funded program but administered by the state. I'll be traveling between offices and business doing government things.
