bigskygirl December 9, 2015 Share December 9, 2015 I was thinking of doing research on printers, but I realized I had no way of making copies to be able to put in my vehicle I did not research before buying said vehicle. I just hope I do not get in an accident on the way to buy a printer I was not able to make copies on the research I did before figuring out which printer to buy in the vehicle I did not spend numerous hours researching before taking her home. How will I explain to my insurance company I did not do any research on my vehicle I use to go to the place I brought my printer from. Will they force me to do a commercial warning people not to make the same mistake. Maybe I should do some researching on my insurance company to make sure they do not raise my rates or drop me like a red hot potato before I step in my vehicle I did not research. Maybe I should do extra research to make sure the printer does not cause an unfortunate accident on the way to the store or on the way home after buying the "one" printer.

I used to, but mostly just to find out which models might fit a tall driver. Then the industry embraced ergonomics and designing for people 5'4" to 5'8", so that's pointless now.

beadgirl December 10, 2015 Share December 10, 2015 I have never researched any car purchase. Do people really do that? I did. My brother helped narrow down the initial field and recommended a few makes and models, then I looked into them -- their safety ratings, handling, comfort, bells and whistles, pricing, etc. Still have that car 14 years later (and good thing my research paid off, because I can't afford a new one now!). Love love love the Temptations kitty treat commercial, with Elton John plaintively singing "sorry seems to be the hardest word" while cats endure all manner of ridiculous holiday outfits (my cats were lucky I only put bows on their collars).

St. Claire December 11, 2015 Share December 11, 2015 I have never researched any car purchase. Do people really do that? Most people I know do some research (they identify features that they want and find out which models in their price range have those features) but even my crazy-pants Dad who shops for cars for fun doesn't drill down to the torque ratios and that sort of thing. My research pretty much extends to checking out safety ratings and features (I've been insisting on anti-lock brakes, side air bags and traction control for a couple decades; I've considered good music system and power seat adjustments necessary to maintain my comfort) to find which few vehicles I want to test drive. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/15594-holiday-and-seasonal-commercials/page/13/#findComment-1795032
