Guess no one is going to spend a few bucks on some baked fat when gas costs 3 to 4 bucks a gallon...instead they'd rather spend their pennies on fried fats....hence the 99 cents value menu at Mickey D's. :beaten:

Trump to buy McMahon's home, let him live there

Fri Aug 15, 2:07 AM ET

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) \ Donald Trump will soon be Ed McMahon's landlord.

Trump announced Thursday he would save the television personality's Beverly Hills mansion from foreclosure by buying it for an undisclosed amount and leasing it to McMahon.

The developer told the Los Angeles Times he doesn't know McMahon personally, but acted out of compassion because helping out "would be an honor."

McMahon, 85, who was Johnny Carson's sidekick on the "Tonight" show for three decades, has not worked for about 18 months because of a neck injury. He defaulted on $4.8 million in mortgage loans with Countrywide Financial Corp.

McMahon's spokesman, Howard Bragman, told The Associated Press that paperwork on the sale had not been completed but that McMahon was "very optimistic" the deal would go through.

"When I was at the Wharton School of Business I'd watch him every night," Trump told the Times. "How could this happen?"

McMahon bought the six-bedroom, five-bathroom, 7,000-square-foot house in January 1990. The home was listed at $4.6 million last weekend \ down from a peak price of $7 million.

That's all well and good, but are you telling me that Ed McMahon didn't have any money in the bank to cover himself? :headscratch:

All those years as Johnny Carson's Number 2 and he didn't save a dime?

Something's fishy here. :rolleyes:

No one's twisting your arm to buy it...

What happened to the Altima? Not upscale enough?

I liked the outside of the Altima A LOT, but the inside was not... well... fun. I really liked the Mazda RX (?) that I saw, but it was only rear wheel drive, which isn't a good thing for winters. The 2009 model for Infinity will all-wheel drive and will also be automatic.

The Infinity is GORGEOUS inside, so I fell in love. And once I fall in love... it's all or nothing.

I think I might be able to get a good deal tho. The sales guy was very nice and very candid. It's prolly his tactic, but it worked.

Oh, okay.

Congrats. :victory:
