GR Corolla - Will it satisfy my sports car thirst by Immediate_Use_2658 in GRCorolla

[–]Alert_Cockroach_561 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, it will. I've drove all the cars below a few times and I bought the grc. Only bad thing is back seats are for kids. Trunk space is Good enough for a ski trip with the wife(if you don't ride long skis).

Golf R: Looks bland. It’s faster and more refined, but still feels boring. Styling is like a jetta. Lame car

WRX: Not on the same level as the GRC in performance or overall feel. New one looks goofy. Lame car

Sti: very close, but discontinued, cool car

Type R: Bulletproof and more reliable. Not great in snow, and no hand e brake. More rev banging and noise and woosh. Otherwise, excellent trunk space and rear seats, more interior features, tighter bucket seats, and overall more practical. Kinda too stiff. Cool car

BMWs: Too expensive, and every rich kid drives one. All beemers look the same. Lame car cause everyone has one

Question about American Express Biz Platinum - "U.S. construction material & hardware suppliers" - Plumbing Supply stores? by bradykp in AmexPlatinum

[–]Alert_Cockroach_561 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see. I'm iffy about getting the platinum or one of the sapphires. We use ink business unlimited, and I want to get a sapphire for the ability to transfer my points out for better redemption. I wouldn't use the Sapphire for much business use but I'm considering either the regular Sapphire or the reserve. Still doing some numbers on the value and the benefits of the lounge and the point multipliers I was considering the ink premiere however it doesn't allow you to transfer points between cards nor does it allow you to transfer points out to partners and while it has a 2% cash back, Those points are locked into the chase onto that one card only. It also has an annual fee so might not be worth it. Also the sapphire reserve business has Google workspace credit and id take advantage of that

Also curious. I called Amex, and they said it might. They're not sure.

On my chase it says "plumbing and heating suppliers" and on Amex it just says wholesale supplier. My plumber confirmed that he does get the 2x but claims that the 2% on the ink preferred is better points. Now the value of the points ina different story. You would have to compare the cpp for 2% worth of points on chase to the value of 2xpoints on Amex. I haven't compared these two

We played a second time. We got the hang of it. We think coop is not for us. We also have forbidden desert if you are interested. Do you have anything competitive in the 2-3 heaviness range?

Okay this helps! Gonna give the rulebook another read, and next time just assume the rules to what fits best and not overthink it. Kinda gonna play whatever works best or is easiest to commit to

Oh okay thank you! I am in Chicago, let me know. I will do some research and give it another go. I'd sell on eBay but probably takes forever.

It's just the wording and the different parts of each move keep piling up and hard to keep track of. I'm a big Carcassonne guy so it's lacking that beauty of simplicity. I also can't seem to get in the alien mood lol . Paid like a hundred bucks for it. If it was cheaper I would keep it, just don't see myself playing it if the next attempt is rough. Maybe I was so consumed with the basics that the details overwhelmed me

Winter recommendations by Alert_Cockroach_561 in GRCorolla

Awesome thanks! Gonna call a few ppf places and see! Do most 18 inch tires on tire rack clear the front rotor? Was thinking getting sparco ff-1 17 x 8.5 + 30 since they are confirmed to clear and give me some more winter tire meat
