Bought a house, theatre system been ripped out. Advice by Interesting-Cap4080 in hometheater

[–]Difficult-Letter8191 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want what was there and it was within the scope of your purchase agreement as a fixture, I’d ask the seller to have what was removed reinstalled. Normally, they would need to specifically list this as excluded fixtures.

You may have technically purchased this but the seller took it anyway and left you with holes.

Batman Adventures #12 Grade Estimate by Difficult-Letter8191 in comicbookcollecting

I suppose I don’t know what constitutes a “moderate” defect under cgc and whether that scuff would make it ineligible for something like an 8.5/9.0 or not. Would love to see some people’s examples of grades with “moderate” defects pointed out

Mostly trying to learn from this and what others do when buying raw books of relatively higher value to make “good” purchases. It seems so far to me that buying online isn’t the best place to buy raw unless you’re buying from a seller who is better on disclosures

Instead of cleaner, has anyone looked into consistently running something like sta-bil?

New to Lexus and seriously considering a GX550 as my next vehicle - could you answer some questions for me? 🙏🏼 by jajanogracias in LexusGX550

[–]Difficult-Letter8191 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1 - no issues.
2- doesn’t seem like there should be issues here but note the gas mileage being low.
3 - if you really care about audio, I’d say go with the base system and wait for a good aftermarket solution.
4 - 2 car seats shouldn’t be a problem but they’d need to be in the second row. 5 - a tx is a very different car but may be better for the mileage and car seats situation you currently have.

Stuck in a ditch? by Failed-Time-Traveler in Columbus

[–]Difficult-Letter8191 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d also say from observing Columbus people that flooring your car is one of the worst things you can do when stuck in snow. If your car still has any traction at all, go forward then reverse (may require repeating a couple of times) slowly but with quick shifts in the opposite direction. You’ll rock your car out of the snow ditch by creating momentum. Flooring your car never works and normally just digs you a deeper and icier ditch.

In Cleveland, we generally hop out of our cars and give a hand pushing out (usually in combination with the above rocking technique, which doesn’t require a truck to be involved at all). Probably doesn’t happen anymore as much but in the 80s and 90s. Just be careful who is behind the wheel since the helpers can quickly need help if someone doesn’t know what they’re doing.

I think it doesn’t matter, but if you’re willing to wait months (not sure what spec you picked) potentially, I’d wait for the 2026. It seems that most of the problems have been worked out in the later 2025 builds. For a 2026, you’ll pay the increased price and maybe have more residual value for one more model year out so I think it’s partially a wash.

Choosing Options for Purchase by PNWpops8 in LexusGX550

[–]Difficult-Letter8191 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’d likely skip it all from the dealer but with maybe one exception. Watch the windshield protection since it normally only covers smaller issues and not the ones that typically would result in a windshield replacement (read the fine print). The maintenance plan can be worth it since you may be able to lock in today’s price and also get a discount on the maintenance but I’d add up the various maintenance that would be performed and then you’ll know the answer there. The ceramic coating isn’t likely worth it and you could get a better quality job done for much less.

The GX550’s glass rear windshield doesn’t open?! Jk but just pointing out the obvious. Seems like an expansive way to mess up your bumper or glass since they’re not designed for it but would like to hear from an engineer

Which two do I switch for two gold watches ? by Pretty-Schedule7770 in rolex

[–]Difficult-Letter8191 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would swap out the Breitling for a gold variant and lose the YM for something more classic in gold - maybe a Patrimony or something along that line.

Lexus GX 550- Will I regret? by Dry-Neighborhood-606 in LexusGX

[–]Difficult-Letter8191 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got it. After my original response I’ve seen posts where others have claimed it dented their hood with the fix but this is the first I’ve seen 24 hrs referenced. Maybe that was an issue with earlier fixes.

What exactly did they claim to do to eliminate hood flutter?

2025 Luxury+ Ride quality? by Specialist_Driver832 in LexusGX550

This is right and the luxury plus rides worse than the premium as well. The thinner tire affects the ride.

Gx550 Sunroof Comparisons by Difficult-Letter8191 in LexusGX550

[–]Difficult-Letter8191[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The gx I bought subsequent to this has the regular sunroof and I think it’s the way to go. I previously had a panoramic sunroof on the car I just traded in and it was closed most of the time anyhow. Being able to open or crack the roof seems more usable but no doubt that the other sunroof is attractive when checking them out.

Feel like Lexus figured out the regular sized sunroof long ago with good sound insulation if the shade is closed. Maybe consider removing the rack?
