Ambulance workers later confirmed the death of the singer, who was found in an interior hotel patio, according to the news reports.

More than 24% of all trade-ins toward new vehicle purchases had negative equity, and 22% of those with negative equity owed more than $10,000. Two other contributing factors to the rise in this type of loan: many consumers are taking out longer-term loans for cars to reduce monthly payments and people are increasingly trading in their cars before it’s financially smart to do so.

I’ve been calling SiriusXM satellite radio every 6 months for their discount. Here’s their regular prices:
If you speak to the rep ask them about the 6 months car+app deal for $30, after taxes and fees it’s like $34 for 6 months. They put you on full price auto pay at the end of 6 months but set a reminder to cancel, wait a few days, then call and ask for the 6 month deal again. It’s worked the last 6 years.
This is a good one!
Damn. Awkward drive home!
