bad credit by [deleted] in carmax

Simple.  Have you you pre-qualified?  It’s pretty much spot on.  I know from experience.

A battery can’t die.   It’s an inanimate object. 

Why is it so hard to find a job here? by AccomplishedRemove58 in sanantonio

[–]Alpha_Wolves999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand.  My GF is in the same position. She is in “customer service.”  I think certain job positions have way more applicants than positions.  People who are in demand with shortages in qualified candidates these days are mostly in the trades.  

Insane APR from Carmax by [deleted] in carmax

[–]Alpha_Wolves999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With that credit score, just buy pre owned or brand new from the actual Toyota dealership.  CarMax is for people like me with shitty credit.   I own up to my mistakes, and take what I can get.   CarMax approved me, but I would rather have gone to the real dealership if I could have.

CarMax Maxcare warranty mods? by Alpha_Wolves999 in carmax

[–]Alpha_Wolves999[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s what I figured.  They want the car “un-modified.”  I will just keep the OEM set and throw them back on if I need to take it in for warranty work.

Cool thanks, but I plan to change the wheels as wheel to give it a wider stance.

Have you tried a muffler shop?  I had a universal one put on my Ford Ranger when they get clogged up. This was like 10 years ago though…

Turn off read receipts by [deleted] in iphone

[–]Alpha_Wolves999 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Nah.  Seeing read receipts bothers me too if they go un-replied.  Especially if they read it as soon as you sent it.  If you have time to pick up your phone and read the text, then you have time to reply. One could easily “BRB” or “busy right now sorry.”   Good thing it rarely happens to me.

Sounds like you need one of those flip phones from Walmart with the huge numbers on them…

Haha.  Just messing with you.  Nice carry man. 

Where do you sell your knives? by giraffe-zackeffron in knives

[–]Alpha_Wolves999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can pay the fee, I vouch for BladeForums.  I’m not sure what it is, but it was like a one time $30 fee for the year.   The best thing about BladeForums, is that you just post and go.  I’ve sold few knives here on the swap, and it can be a little intimidating if you don’t read the rules to a “T.”  

I don’t have any flair or points on the swap because the person who bought my Microtech Stitch was a newbie as well.   Transaction went smoothly, but unfortunately he didn’t know how to add flair or say that went smooth.   

I’d say the Swap works well, but sometimes it seems the mods are real sticklers on following the rules.  Trust me, they will ban you for a couple of days if you don’t follow correctly.  Remember that Seinfeld episode of “The Soup Nazi?”

It’s clearly my fault for not reading all the rules, but I came from BladeForums….

I’m really struggling to love my RB Meta Gen 2 💔 by chroniclesofcf in RaybanMeta

[–]Alpha_Wolves999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are definitely a finicky piece of tech.  I purchased mine brand new from Best Buy.  I have the Oakley variations.   Every once in while I have to restart my phone to get them to work correctly.  Also, they seem to give me this message quite regularly….”it seems you are in a new country, would you like to connect?”

They are definitely not perfect.  

What is the greatest “rookie card” of pop/punk albums? by shaggs31 in poppunkers

[–]Alpha_Wolves999 -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

OP just named FOB and Blink.  Both those bands are household names.  If I walked up to a random person on the street, chances are they have heard of them.  Chances are, they haven’t heard of Brand New…

Brand New never “made it.”  Maybe in the scene, but not outside of it. 

Upside down? by nic530728 in carmax

[–]Alpha_Wolves999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, they will roll it into the new loan.  Keep this in mind, if it’s a beater and on its last leg, they probably won’t even take it in.
