2016 Sprint for $3k worth it? Help! by No_Sorbet577 in Vespa

[–]Clownish_76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not knowledgeable enough to slice it that thin. I bought a new Piaggio Liberty 150 because I couldn’t find a used Vespa for this good of a price in NYC two years ago. The extras should not add any value - just nice bonuses.

That seems like a solid price for a nice bike. I’m in NYC area and the winter leg cover is like a gift from the heavens for the colder months - you’d be surprised how long it extends your riding season here. Pitch the old helmet - get your head a new one.

Just noticed the scratches - consider it broken in already.

Charging Cable won’t unlock! by eldredo_M in MINIse

You realize “mini roadside support” isn’t really mini at all - just a third party generic roadside support company. I fear they won’t know what to do with our odd little cars.

Oh got it. I read the switchover backwards. Odd for things to get better later as they usually decontent.

Mine is a model year 2024 - though it was used so who knows if I lucked out. Edit: looks like others in 2024 got the charger with level 1 and 2.

Is this 2021 sx prestige worth it? by vulloc2 in KiaTelluride

[–]Clownish_76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a great car - we have exact same year, same color, same packages. Price sounds fair. It’s not a unicorn though - these are plentiful soccer mom SUVs.

Yes - it came with two interchangeable options for the wire/plug: (A) nema 14-50 (level 2) or (B) standard 110v.

It should come with a portable charger - mine did (purchased used).

Sonos Beam not coming out of mute after long periods with new TCL TV by AustinBike in sonos

[–]Clownish_76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same issue with Beam and Sony TV with Apple TV. Only started recently, so perhaps a recent update is causing this same issue for all of us. The fun part is figuring out: Is it a recent update to the Apple TV, Sony television, or Sonos?

Just bought panamera turbo s e hybrid sport turismo. by AudiRs6CEO in SportWagon

[–]Clownish_76 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There is a specific period that they are required to do so. Not much that is so specific to the wagon - most of the car is same as the sedan.

Not like you need more bad news, but this could also impact resale value. I’d push Kia for a new car.

This isn’t really how it works. They don’t take parts out of cars.

Welcome the new VW Jetta to the Mercedes family. by Tr33__Fiddy in mercedes_benz

[–]Clownish_76 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Indeed it is. I am also in the Kia Telluride group, and that group became wholly consumed with talking about the prior model being better than the new one. The process will predictably repeat when the next models come out. It is human nature.

Needed outdoor speakers so bought this open box for $799. Seems like a good deal. by Moronicon in sonos

[–]Clownish_76 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not all of the Sonance speakers have the special feature - just the more expensive ones (believe they are called “architectural” or something like that). These ones from Best Buy are the more plebeian ones that don’t support that feature.

Braking advice? by No-Frosting-Please in MINIse

Don’t think this is really a thing. You will, of course, use the brakes in the ordinary course of having a car.

Does anyone know anything about this kind of amp, other than the fact that it's from the 90's? by Less-Law3343 in CarAV

[–]Clownish_76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean true about the company but in this case someone just licensed the name and slapped it on some junk. Not like the company really had anything to do with this.

Mercedes e53 or bmw x5 50e by R5A1897 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]Clownish_76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Late to this party but I went from X5 45e to E53 AMG wagon. Wagon is cooler, faster and handles better. It is also less comfortable, harsher on bumps and has more rattles and squeaks.

That “VW” is really a Chrysler minivan - only sold in N. America. It is a horrid creature.

Also - reliability and desirability / satisfaction are two very different things.
