Right, because getting a bored front desk guy who just wants to play with the pricing system is basically my superpower. My life is a constant cycle of hoping some underpaid employee finds me charming enough to knock twenty bucks off a room. But your point about the call center robots is dead on, every time I think I've cracked the code I end up on hold for half an hour listening to some muzak version of a song I hated in 2007. Apps definitely make the whole process less of a personal humiliation, though I'm pretty sure the app rewards are just a system designed to make me feel good about spending more money on a king bed I don't need. Do you ever actually cash in those rewards points or do they just sit there like a toaster you got from a wedding you weren't invited to?

Wait actually I gotta say something about that. The 96 Ranger didn't have a wrap style clutch wire setup. That was more of a 93-94 thing. By 96 they switched to a different connector. My buddy had a 96 and his AC clutch wire was a solid plastic clip not the old wrap around style. If your uncle wrapped aluminum foil on a 96 it probably was for a different wire issue. The older trucks from 93-94 had those loose wire ends that would corrode and people would wrap foil or tape to keep connection. Just want to clarify before someone tries that fix on a 96 and it doesn't work. Those trucks had different problems each year.
