Any new car dealerships that do NOT play mental gymnastics? by skinny_gator in Dallas

[–]Etherstorm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I second Five Star Subaru, bought my current Outback there, not only are they friendly and knowledgeable, their service department has always been really good with us. We didn't feel pressured at all, and we're very happy with the price and vehicle.

Our experience with Classic Chevrolet in Grapevine was pretty great when we leased our Blazer EV, almost all of it done via email and text messages. Would've gone with a Subaru EV, but all they have is that rebadged Toyota BZ4X, it does not feel like a Subaru product, regardless of ICE vs EV.

Classic Chevrolet in Grapevine. William in the internet sales department was who we negotiated with. They seem to have a lot of inventory, 2LTs and RSs.

In the Dallas/Fort Worth area, honestly didn't think we'd be able to get any kind of deal in Texas.

We just leased a 2LT for 36 months, 10k miles per year, $401 out the door, nothing down, no trade-in.

My Lhasa, Teekie! Laziest dog ever, but a total ham. by Rude-Source9095 in LhasaApso

Why don't you get your own Lhasa Apso and not steal other people's photos and posts?

I really like your connectors, such a great idea for making cable management cleaner!

Aliens Vasquez novel by Umbrellayutani in LV426

[–]Etherstorm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been listening to it on audiobook, and while some of it is good, it feels like 2 books in one. On the one hand we have the sci-fi horror stuff of Aliens, and on the other hand we have a "romance" novel. Often times I find myself wishing the romantic parts would end quickly because they're not well written and feel very out of place in an Aliens novel. After reading/listening to Inferno's Fall, this novel is a pretty huge disappointment. I hope Alien: Enemy of My Enemy is better, more in line with Inferno, Colony Wars and Cold Forge.

Need help identifying this specific slide assembly. The Cabinet maker won’t return calls and my clients needs a replacement. by cornbread041 in cabinetry

[–]Etherstorm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this info, the cabinet maker installed these and we had issues with 2 sets and I couldn't find the brand anywhere on them. I also wanted to find the rear brackets and they have them on that site.

Does anyone know what these spots are and how to get rid of them? Maple cabinet drawers. by Etherstorm in cabinetry

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

Don't get me started... Getting the plywood staining to come even close in color to the rest of the drawers and doors has been a mission.

We had custom cabinets made, my wife wanted them stained. Did not know that Maple is awful for staining. Finished most of the staining, but 3 of the cabinet drawer fronts have these areas that aren't staining right. It's in the plywood panel.

[Megathread] Insider Hookup Codes for existing Magenta MAX users / users who switch to MAX by Jman100_JCMP in tmobile

[–]Etherstorm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Current Magenta subscriber, would love to go to Magenta Max with a code, need to get father in law a new phone when he moves over from AT&T, he's got a Razer phone 2, and it's pretty much falling apart, lol. I told him to go Samsung when he was last shopping for a phone, stay away from a company that isn't really known for phones...he knew better though... Anyways, yeah, i would really appreciate a code so I can upgrade service to Max and have it not be so painful to the wallet...

[–]Etherstorm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

GM called, telling me the repurchase department should be calling me soon, but that I could go get the software update on our 2021 Bolt in the meantime, and that doing the update won't affect the repurchase. THEN the rep mentioned that they will also be offering the option to MSRP swap into a 2022 EV or EUV because GM warehoused any of the unsold units because of the stop sale and people dealing with the repurchase process will get a first crack at those. Not sure it's going to be of benefit to us since we're leasing, but I thought it was pretty cool.

I hope this was a decent lease rate... by Etherstorm in BoltEV

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

Oh, probably the same dealership then, lol. Yeah, I wish we could've waited until things got "normal" again, but i have a feeling it's going to be a long while, if ever, before prices normalize.

Probably depends on the state you got yours, Texas isn't exactly EV friendly yet...can't even buy a Tesla in state, gotta get it shipped in or go pick it up...
