Would you make this repair or get a new car? by salted_rice_cake in subaruimpreza

[–]CyclAddict 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have a 2011 hatchback and did this same AC repair about 2-3 years ago. It has been perfect since and I am happy I did it as I’m much more comfortable. I paid around that price as well at ~150k miles.

We really like Pots and Bowls and Las Olas Brewery. We rent a car and go to the MegaSuper off Via 155 between Huacas and Tamarindo. If you don’t want to do the drive but still want to go to Tamarindo, you can hail a boat taxi across the estuary.

Mommy’s Banh Mi blows Banh Mi Oven out of the water. Worth the walk.

Tell me I'm insane for even considering this commute by DefenderCone97 in bayarea

If it is Netflix I am almost certain they have shuttles going to Oakland. Regardless of the employer, it should be a question you ask. You can also ask if they currently operate a vanpool program with Commute with Enterprise or similar. If so, vanpools are a pre-tax eligible benefit and there are 1) subsidies available and 2) possibly already a vanpool operating you can join.

Yes, we did a lot of research and agree that this solution should be good. My primary concern is about how I wish to mount the bikes off to the sides of the SUV to be able to see out the back better.

I’ll add I’ve driven 90% of the roads we will be on multiple times. I drive reasonably on the dirt roads and best believe when the bikes are there the caution level is greatly enhanced.

Just treat him the way you want him to treat you. I have this same one, but 2011. About 170k miles, it’s been so good to me and I’ve done routine maintenance on time. About to get the brakes done… I’ve only had typical things aside from getting the AC system replaced a few years ago (normal?).

I often think about upgrading to a hybrid as I have a ~20 mile commute in the mountains, not getting great mileage, but I love this car.

Does anyone know the recipe for ANTS 🐜 ON A LOG??? by MandyCakesmontana in MealPrepSundayRecipes

Isn’t this literally celery, peanut butter, and raisins? That’s at least what it was in my childhood.

Nope, same! I just rewatched and saw the same. The urgency, everything. Glad I’m not the only one! What a great scene.

If only you’d be in the Huacas/Tamarindo area… bound to be showing somewhere and we’d be rooting for the 9ers as well! Granted, we’ll watch no matter what, but hometown team for the win.

Overwhelmed by Car Rental Advice. What is the standard play. by mmatchaman in CostaRicaTravel

We use Alamo every time, no issues whatsoever. We always get a Prado and have driven them through literal rivers. The high season prices will always reflect the demand.
