That's cold.
Nope. Greenland is cold. And Iceland is green. And east is east and west is west and if you take cranberries and stew them like applesauce they taste much more like prunes than rhubarb does.
Actually, NZ's south island can get cold in the winter.

As I also live in Kalamazoo (small world eh) I agree with everything above and MORE. I know I shouldn't really mention names but this store deserves it. GAME WAREHOUSE - I salute you for being the worst retro store I have ever had the displeasure of going to. So many bad things are said about this store it's a wonder they still get frequent business.

However - with gamewarehouse being an abomination, and gameplaze (while their owners are awesome people) being pretty overpriced, there is another store just off of Romence Rd. (by the D&W fresh grocery store) called Second Chance that is far and away the best place to go to. The prices are the fairest you will ever find in a retro store (some even too fair IMO) and everything is just so clean and inviting, in my experience, if you go there once you will not want to shop anywhere else in the surrounding area.

See, if this were an 80s movie, you'd cue some kind of car wash montage, then you and your friends end up earning enough money to just buy the store and keep it afloat.

Wouldn't there also be some asshole with an opposing car wash who wants to buy the store with no motive other than to screw you over?

Really? Interesting. I'll have to investigate. Thanks for the tip, dude! :) You wouldn't happen to know the store's address, would you? I can't find any info online.

Yes, the opposing team is GameWarehouse. :evil:
Also, 10k? That must be one hell of a car wash.
