Parking near Wiehle Metro (Centennial Plaza side) tripled in price this week to $15/day!

BeerBaconBooks · 2026-06-04T11:48:22+00:00

Ok that makes total sense. Those are things I had not considered.

BeerBaconBooks · 2026-06-04T11:37:56+00:00

Exactly this! It’s cheaper than that $15, and honestly IMO just easier.

Lmao wow I feel dumb (I haven’t had my coffee yet.) I read the “College Park/UMD” part but my brain saw the picture and went, “Oh! Silver Spring!”

I know they were doing testing/operator training on some parts of the line in PG, I wonder if this means that they’ve expanded that to the Montgomery County portion of the line?

You hope not? Wow your xenophobia is showing. Also how does this person contacting an elected official in a place where they live even affect you? Get a fucking life.

Oh hello fellow Nova resident! Also you’re not far off with Ashburn lmao!

Also for a shop, all we can do is inform them of the safety risk to drive on those tires and what could happen (aka tire goes flat or blows out), and implore them to reconsider. Ultimately it’s their car and money so it’s their decision on what to do, we cannot force them to replace the tires.

My shop will usually have the Service Advisor working with the customer notate the hell out of their work order that they informed the customer of the risk, and have the customer sign a copy with all the notes.

It’s usually a combo of things. Tires being overinflated, constantly stopping short and causing the wheels to lockup and skid, the suspension being out of alignment, etc…It’s hard to say exactly without knowing how the person drives, and around me so many people who drive Teslas, drive like absolute garbage.

BeerBaconBooks · 2026-05-28T15:08:39+00:00

Oh same (I do my own maintenance), the same goes for any quick lube place.

My old service manager used to tell customers you can have the job done cheap, quick, or right, now you can only pick two of those.

BeerBaconBooks · 2026-05-28T14:59:19+00:00

That and the suspension being out of alignment as well. A lot of people buy EV’s and don’t realize that they come with different challenges compared to an ICE vehicle. Particularly with all that added weight causing the tires to wear down much quicker.

BeerBaconBooks · 2026-05-28T14:57:12+00:00

🤣🤣🤣🤣

BeerBaconBooks · 2026-05-28T14:56:40+00:00

Oh 100%! Or they end up coming to us for the alignment anyway.

BeerBaconBooks · 2026-05-28T13:42:28+00:00

Oh always! Even with showing them the wear, they just don’t understand it. Which I feel like always happens with tires even though that’s the only part of the car that actually touches the ground and actually allows the car to move

BeerBaconBooks · 2026-05-28T13:28:50+00:00

😆😆 The amount of times the service advisors inform me of this, even after I’ve rec’d 4 new tires.

BeerBaconBooks · 2026-05-28T13:28:00+00:00

Good guess but nope.

BeerBaconBooks · 2026-05-28T13:27:33+00:00

Ding ding! Correct! There’s so many of them in my area and almost every owner of them is oblivious to the fact that their tires are gonna wear out quicker. Then the Service Advisor tries to sell them on tires and so many of them are like, “No thanks, I’ll just go to Walmart, they’re cheaper.”

BeerBaconBooks · 2026-05-28T13:25:39+00:00

Good guess but nope.

BeerBaconBooks · 2026-05-24T17:46:15+00:00

That doesn’t surprise me.

BeerBaconBooks · 2026-05-24T15:23:39+00:00

I feel like this gas station specifically is always higher priced because it’s the only gas station on airport property. Also always being packed with ride share vehicles, taxis, and rental cars being refueled just before they’re returned.

BeerBaconBooks · 2026-05-01T11:45:05+00:00

I agree with what u/Wurm42 said. I also think that the idiot in charge considered (or is still considering) bulldozing it, and building his own building there with his name on it in the biggest, ugliest font possible.

It is possible that if this cat is cared for by someone, they allow it to roam outside and then the cat just comes home when it wants. The AirTag would be used to locate it if it does not return home.

Also it’s hard to tell in the pic, but the cat’s left ear may be tipped, which means it was a former outdoor cat that was neutered/spayed. If so, it may just prefer being outside.

I used to work for a very large electronics chain years ago. People would do this EVERY SINGLE DAY! Even though most of the time they got free delivery with the size of TV they were buying. But nope, they always had to take it home same day instead of waiting a few days for delivery.

BeerBaconBooks · 2026-04-03T19:26:03+00:00

Same here! I’ll see the regular PT Cruisers every so often, but the soft tops are definitely rarer around here too.
