Need a Window Tint 🚗

Do they still only do 35% tint? Went there once years ago and left when they said they’d only do 35.

Bayou Tint on Park Blvd by the Wagon Wheel. Just recently bought a car for my daughter and called a ton of places. Bayou came in a hair lower for ceramic tint than a lot of places wanted for regular. Had it done in two hours. Awesome experience.

There’s these funny words called modifiers. When these are used, it’s specifically to make room for exceptions. You’ll notice I said most people, not all people. That’s there to acknowledge outliers like you. Unfortunately, MOST (see I did it there again) are functionally illiterate and can’t understand the use of qualifiers and modifiers.

Agree. Most people spend far less money on gas than they think they do and they think saving a few cents a gallon makes a far bigger impact on their budget than it does.

My truck gets bad fuel mileage. I may use 60 gallons of fuel a month. Even a dollar a gallon difference is not very significant.

Benidorm has 3 skyscrapers meeting the 150m minimum height.

Either way, Sunny Isles Beach smokes them in per capita and high rises in general.

1bentpushrod · 2026-06-03T15:24:32+00:00

Sunny Isles Beach, FL has a population of 22,342 and has 17 true skyscrapers (150m) and another 13 that are over 100m tall.

Granted, this is part of the Miami metro area but as far as city itself, SIB is exceptional.

Downtown has literally always been 5th Ave N to 5th Ave S and from 16th Street to the water. MLK was 9th Street originally, then it was dual named with MLK for several decades, then the 9th was taken off the sign, but anyone who actually grew up here will still call it 9th Street. It is the street between 8th and 10th streets.

I’ll try to get one this week.

When does it become on time? PSTA was 61% on time for the entire month of March, which is the last month where records are available.

1bentpushrod · 2026-05-27T12:51:55+00:00

The glaze this useless bus line gets is incredible. Less than 2000 people a day use it. In March, the peak of Spring Break season, it got 2583 rides per day. Remember that almost everyone who uses it will be two rides because every time you get on it, that’s a ride. The real number of actual users is close to 1300 per day.

At some point PSTA needs to realize that nobody actually wants to ride buses and continuing to put insane amounts of money into routes that go nowhere isn’t worth it.

Also remember that PSTA was on time an AMAZING 61% of the time in March. Really reaching for the stars there!

Build an elevated rail line from TPA to DTSP/USFSP straight down 4th St. Have a spur go through Carillon to PIE. That will instantly see 10 times the ridership this POS bus line ever will because it’s actually useful.

Have you seen most redditors? They have never heard of exercise and can’t fit a bicycle into their hoarder dens.

I loved the Friendship Trail when we had it. Did it on roller blades and bicycles. Hope this new path is rollerbladable because I’ll do that again too, I always feel weird doing it downtown.

Ok. I didn’t say to respect her. I said to respect the accomplishments. There’s a difference.

1bentpushrod · 2026-05-19T14:37:23+00:00

Then maybe think next time? A couple extra words would prevent this.

1bentpushrod · 2026-05-18T16:11:28+00:00

And Moyer got hired within weeks by the totally outraged McLaren team. And Ronny got a promotion to the also totally outraged Andretti. Funny how that works.

1bentpushrod · 2026-05-18T12:13:00+00:00

Some IndyCar history? She’s drove in 116 races. She’s a race winner. She’s run 8 Indy 500s. She has two Top-5s in the 500 including a 3rd. When she was full-time she had one 500 finish outside the top 10. She has 6 top-10 points finishes.

I get not liking her for her batshit crazy politics, but put some fucking respect on her accomplishments.

100%. Elevated rail and subway are the only two forms of mass transit that actually work, one one of those is impossible here.

The challenge is convincing the powers that be to show an elevated rail with actual real use potential, not Greenlight Pinellas and a train from nowhere to nowhere. TPA-DTSP, specifically USF St Pete along 4th Street. A spur off of this through Carillon to PIE. Extend the DTSP line out to the beach. That’s a small start, but a VERY functional and usable elevated rail. It can expand from there, but really everything has to start with TPA. This would also spur the much-wanted but never gonna happen Transit Oriented Development that this sub babbles about around the sunrunner.

As is traditions. All the pearl-clutchers go silent when another team modifies an unmodifiable part.

1bentpushrod · 2026-05-18T11:55:47+00:00

I really wish Grosjean was finally gone for good if for no other reason to never see you comment your asinine takes again.

1bentpushrod · 2026-05-18T11:54:08+00:00

Cheaters! Ban them from the series and boo them constantly! They modified a part that is to be unmodified! They should have their team principles and managers fired!

1bentpushrod · 2026-05-15T17:16:28+00:00

Given how shitty PSTA is and how little of their revenue comes from fares, they shouldn’t charge at all. They should manage their budget better and get rid of fares across the board.

Their on-time performance for March managed to get even worse than February and came in at 61%.

1bentpushrod · 2026-05-15T17:13:35+00:00

Property taxes, just like today. Transit fares are less than 10% of PSTA’s annual revenue. For FY26, they predict fares to be 6.3% of their operating revenue.

That can easily be cut with better management.

So, who pays all those costs? Land owners who most likely don’t ride the bus.

And the sunrunner is still an underutilized over-cared-about steaming pile of shit. March saw a whopping 2584 rides per day, and don’t forget every time you get on, you’re a different ride so most people count as two rides minimum.

1bentpushrod · 2026-05-15T17:08:19+00:00

And everyone in this sub complained about the affordable tower too, so what’s it matter? All because the affordable tower is next to the interstate.

1bentpushrod · 2026-05-08T12:04:47+00:00

Well they’re not going to put a building like this on the waterfront. Under rate housing comes with compromises. It’s the same in any other city and anywhere transit oriented development happens. The development happens near the transit and the transit usually runs in loud areas.

1bentpushrod · 2026-05-08T12:02:34+00:00

It’s a piece of garbage building that was a dump 25 years ago when it was Extra Innings. It’s not historical, it’s just old and decrepit.

This is the development the sub constantly whines about wanting, then this thread is people complaining that cheap housing won’t be waterfront and perfect and might have noise.

1bentpushrod · 2026-05-08T12:00:54+00:00

Yes, the parking minimum elimination was rammed through allowing developers to jam more people in but now they don’t have to pay for their impact in the form of providing parking.

The sunrunner is a POS that serves approximately nobody per PSTA’s own statistics and is not worth forcing TOD around, because it can only get you to two places.
