You moron. Do you think President Haywood is used as a term of endearment? Let me try and break this down for you: HE IS MOCKING BUSH!! Read the quote in his signature line!! My lord...

Actually, OG is going to be spared by the spam. This board is going to be registered users only in a very short period of time. Once the OG defending stops, the OG attacking will stop as well.

People like Goldie and Holla can calm down, it will all be over soon...

People like OG's a loser, you'll have to find something else to do...

You are a moron for making fun of a deceased person! Real classy

Just listened to the beginning of the Bulls pre game show and even his coworkers are dumping on OG. Bill and Neil just treated him like a dork and laughed at him, funny stuff. Keep it upOG, the world needs a good laugh, tick tick tick......

Question

Question -
Mr. Ford,

I have a 2002 Nissan Altima SE. When I leased the car, I unfortunately signed up for a five-year lease with a mileage limit of 12,000 per year. My lease isn't up until October 2006 and I am 3,000 miles away from reaching my limit for the lease.

I would very much like to get another car in the fall, but I don't know if it's possible. By then, my car will have around 65-to-70,000 miles on it. I realize I'll be upside-down, but I just don't know by how much.

Do I have any options? Do you see any way that I'll be able to get out of my lease 12-14 months early, especially with a car that might be as many as 10,000 miles over the limit?

Thanks very much,
Mike Ogulnick

Hi Mike and thanks for the question. Unfortunately you have discovered the bad side of leasing. The correct answer to your question is NO. There are many plans currently being offered by dealers and manufacturers now but they all add the defecit on your current vehicle to the new vehicle you are going to lease/purchase. The wordage on the first page of the lease(which is not the page you signed, rather the back of that page) is that you will make all payments no matter when you turn in the vehicle and that you will be responsible to the vehicle inreasonable condition and agreed to miles. There are a lot of programs out there who offer to take over your lease, but be aware, unless you get an UNCONDITIONAL RELEASE from the lease company you are still responsible for all charges at the lease end, as well as during the remainder of the lease. Best bet is probably try to put as few miles as possible on the vehicle, go to term, and do not lease again unless there are valid reasons to do so. If you have further specific questions feel free to let me know. Best of luck to you. Bud

Mr. Ford,

Thanks for getting back to me so promptly. After your answer, I feel I'm in quite a quandry. While I can try to put as few miles as possible on the car, often times I have no choice. I work 50 miles away from home, and have to drive in at least a couple times a week.

I want to see if I understand completely what you said. I always thought if I turned the car in early, I would be responsible for the difference between what the buyout amount is on the car and the value of the car. You said I would be responsible for the rest of the payments. Is that right? If so, I can see why unloading the car early is virtually impossible.

I have heard that if your six months or less from the lease ending, dealerships will be more willing to help you get out. Is that the case, or will I absolutely have to wait until October 2006?

Thanks again,
Mike

I'll register until OG is in Wisconsin.

Look, monkeyspank, if you had anything other than OG on the brain, you'd know I was talking about the spam all over the board. You think I'm pushing registration in order to protect the OG? The regulars around here are tired of the spam. Nothing more, nothing less...

Who is deceased? Maybe Mike North knows.

What a terrific post. that is Mike to a "T". Except, his updates also suck. He mails it in, and the guy couldn't do a technical thing to save his life. He talked plenty of crap about me when I was producing at SNR. He is a scumbag. Notice how nobody at WMVP ever comes to his defense. Now you know why.

"Professional" is hardly one of the adjectives I'd use to describe OG's Bulls work. Instead, words like "awkward", "strained", "clumsy", "scattered", and "insubstantial" more accurately capture OG's pre- and post-game fiascos.

Most annoying of all, though, is the inexplicable narcissism that defines OG's broadcasts. Why does he continually--and pathologically, I might add--place himself at the center of nearly all his discussions? The most obvious example of this tendency is the way he makes himself the real topic of analysis for the "Bulls Facts" segments. When Carmen hosted the Bulls pre-game show, this segment was used as a springboard for interesting, if brief, basketball talk. With OG at the helm, however, this feature has been reduced to seemingly endless exchanges about the methods OG uses to find his "facts" and the quality of the "facts" themselves. OG, it seems, much rather talk about himself than the Bulls.

Clearly, such an approach to presenting the Bulls pre-game show is anything but professional. Listeners are not tuning in to hear about the "behind the scenes" exploits of OG's professional life. We are, however, listening to obtain "behind the scenes" insight about the Bulls. The Bulls pre- and post-game shows used to provide useful information about the team in an entertaining way. OG's attempt to be more entertaining by making himself the "star" of ESPN's Bulls programming has, however, both eviscerated its informational value and alienated far more listeners than it has retained or attracted. The OG's work is uninformative, unengaging and yes, unprofessional.

YOU SUCK, OG! GO AWAY!

OG did a good job tonight. Well done.

OG is talented. Like it or not.

Yes, he is talented. A talented complainer. A talented backstabber. Talented on the air - his updates are fine, but he is no host.

What, they don't have computers at the UC? I know they do. They are called laptops, schmuck.

And BTW, maybe I have a radio gig, maybe I don't. That's the beauty of message boards. You can post without giving up who you are. Why do you, Goldie [OG] care so much about whether or not we rip on Mike? Do you have a personal stake in this?

And one more thing, I don't have my pants around my ankles. Not attracted to the eyebrows. Sorry.

What is it then, Cosmo? Is it that you feel ten feet tall and bullet proof hiding behind a keyboard? Ooooo, tough guy, bashing someone when you can do it anonymously. I'm sorry, that's probably a big word for you. That means without anyone knowing who you are. Anyway, let's see...when's the next Bulls game? How about I write to you while the OG is on the air. Maybe then you'll realize that I'm not the OG. Schmuck? Really now, am I the one getting pleasure out of trying to destroy someone's image and career.

Sounds like former SNR is one bitter person. Maybe he is just so jealous that Mike is making a name for himself and gotten farther that he will EVER!

By the way what did OG do to you that cause all this venom??

I would go as far to say he is the most talented guy in Chicago. His voice is nearly radio flawless. He's good-looking, has incredible charisma, and a rakish wit Howard Cosell would admire. All he needs is a chance. Make it happen spaceballs.

No, I'm not bitter. Not jealous. Just got tired of all the bs in radio and now doing something that makes me triple the money OG currently makes.

And as far as what he did to me, let's just put it this way. He's a two faced SOB.

Do you have the balls to A) tell us who you are and B) tell us what he did to you? I doubt it because you're probably a chickenshit like most of the other posters on this forum.

Again I say,
All we are saying ... is give OG (peace) a chance.
Just take OG into your heart. I assure you the anger will just melt away and you'll be left with such peace. And, yes, I am a OG disciple.
