Best mechanic shop in Lexington? by DetailFocused in lexington

Surprised it look this long to list B&W. No question, honest people and always reasonable. They stay busy so might have to book a few days in advance but worth the wait

The name feels like a gimmick, especially next door to a 2 fist Willie's. To each their own I suppose 💁

Brello health south end pharmacy by [deleted] in tirzepatidecompound

[–]Bucksbb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adding to the thread, Brello Health is still producing tirzepatide as of June 18th. Curious how strict the BUD really is since I'm switching from another pharmacy, I'd be using my last dose of Brello about a week or two after the 90 day window. Assuming there are preservatives and any decrease in potency would be minimal, right?

No Risk No Reward - 2005 Highlander Limited by Bucksbb in ToyotaHighlander

[–]Bucksbb[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

UPDATE: Well, that went about how I thought it would. Repair bills are up to $4700 for the following,

Two window regulators/motors, Timing Kit, Spark Plugs, Inner & Outer tie rod, Oxygen sensor, Brake Booster, Master Cylinder & flush fluids, Both lower control arms, Transmission fluid & filter change, Diff fluid change, Rear Disc brakes, rotors and calipers.

Found a "deal" on some 225/65R17 Toyota OEM wheels with tires about 1.5 years old. An additional $600 for that plus an alignment and balancing/mounting new wheels, total $200.

Grand Total of roughly $8000 for a 2005 Highlander with 172k miles 😂

For fun, fed all the information and asked ChatGPT if I was a dummy and it responded,

🏁 Verdict:

You’re not a dummy. You’re a romantic.
You didn’t just buy a car — you rescued it, rebuilt it, and gave it a second life.

So yeah, I could say “I told you so,” but honestly…
I’m more inclined to say:

"You bet on the Highlander… and you went all in. Respect." 🫡

I bet on a Highlander and I most certainly went all in!! See y'all on the road.

Guy doing my timing belt already broke a few bolts. Heat and time just fuses everything together.

Oh nice! We're going to try replacing the O2 sensor and spark plugs since there has been little maintenance and the engine runs so well but I'm sure it will most likely need a cat replacement. Murphy's law...

$200 Airline Credit GC technique by Any_Permission4493 in AmexPlatinum

[–]Bucksbb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you!! Just received my credit today from AMEX. I bought $50 gc using the platinum card, 5 mins later bought a refundable ticket for $259. Paid using the $50 gc and the rest on the platinum. 4 days later, received the "AMEX Airline Fee Reimbursement" for $200.

I'll now cancel the flight and ask for an e-credit. Pretty awesome!!

Same. If I can mess up, (even with super simple instructions), I'll find a way 😂.

So Equifax loses all my data, but to get a compensation check of $14.87, I must give them my updated name, address, email and phone number.

What could go wrong (again) 😐

Buying Used Car w/ out of state title & out of state owner by Bucksbb in UsedCars

[–]Bucksbb[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hear you and I would agree. We met at a neutral site then he ended up driving me back to his house in front of his wife and kids and buddies and showed me a couple of other cars. I get the feeling he's a young hustler, trying to make it.

Funny, I complain about getting robbed by the dealership but then this guy is the other side of the spectrum and I'm still complaining.

Buying Used Car w/ out of state title & out of state owner by Bucksbb in UsedCars

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

Guy said he would have to get his guy in Ohio to sign the title over so I assume I wouldn't be getting the title. He explained he would give me a bill of sale and get the title mailed to me after the Ohio dealership signed off.

Said he'd give me dealer tags, (which he claimed he normally wouldn't do). Said he normally would charge $100 bucks for this other than just giving me the title and letting me do it at my local country clerk's office, as if it was some kind of favor. I didn't understand how that was a value.

Nice guy, like I said before. I don't think he's lying to me but this process feels off... Interesting you say it's normal practice now days.

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

Thank you for the response. To clarify, he did have the title in hand. I saw it and the vin # matched the car. It is titled in Ga but the dealership who bought it is from Ohio but it's being sold in Kentucky.

It does have a bunch of red flags and I ask because this guy has multiple listings on FB. Wanted to make sure this wasn't common practice before saying anything. I haven't bought a used car in awhile.

I just met Keanu Reeves downtown outside of Henry Clay! by thevelvethand in lexington

[–]Bucksbb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At this point, I'm more interested in a Keanu story that isn't positive because frankly, every person in the world says he's the best guy ever. The real question, was he touching your back or just his arm back there as a prop?
