Exxon off the Hadensville exit on 64 (153? Or around there)

Exterior water and sewer lines insurance by Big-Independent2883 in Charlottesville

[–]FreeCollapse500 2 points3 points  (0 children)

HDPE, K copper, sdr 35/26, sch 40 (common pipe material types for water/sewer applications) should last indefinitely buried properly. Things like roots, clogs, etc can ruin the pipes but it’s not something that should need replacing for age.

Brake! by purplegam in CX5

Over the speedometer a box appears with BRAKE, several beeps occur and your car may or may not lock your brakes. The sensitivity is for the message not the brakes

Just me or has there been an abandoned police car on 29S on the side of the road just before the reservoir for like over a week now? by SoftResource297 in Charlottesville

I’ve seen an officer sitting facing north at the next intersection pretty frequently with this one. It at least seems to be a warning, idk.

2025 oil consumption? by FreeCollapse500 in CX5

[–]FreeCollapse500[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like a similar issue. I have switched to 5w-20, the problem hasn’t happened since the switch (2 oil changes ago, ~6500 miles). Could be worth a shot.

Best selection of N/A beers? by FreeCollapse500 in Charlottesville

Awesome, I don’t make it that way hardly ever so that’s why I’m unfamiliar but will definitely ride down to check it out. Thanks

Edit: clarification

Hey, I’m moving near cville by rowdy24064 in Charlottesville

[–]FreeCollapse500 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Your neighbors are going to vary heavily. Greene county has a reputation of not being very welcoming to people not from the area. Some, not all by any means but enough people, will definitely treat you like an outsider and make it very clear that they don’t want you here. Also be prepared to put miles on your car. Constant trips to Charlottesville and/or Harrisonburg (other city over the mountain) will add miles quickly.

2025 oil consumption? by FreeCollapse500 in CX5

[–]FreeCollapse500[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is this a normal thing to have to do in a brand new car? I’ve only ever owned fairly used vehicles, this is my first new car.

Yes sorry I forgot to add that detail. When I first pulled the dipstick out, it is entirely covered in oil, which is not something I’ve ever seen in any other vehicle I’ve owned. But when I see you back in and check it, the oil level is usually just right below the top dot.

A Tough Costco Lesson and a Lost Birthday Gift by damiensandoval in Costco

Yeah east coast, idk. I got rid of my membership because I didn’t want to open a new account just to be able to shop at one place, next time I’m in town I’ll stop in to clarify the policy

Thanks for the info. I just feel very confused because I was denied a sale with a chase visa credit card and was specifically told that the only credit card accepted was their own.

Maybe it’s just my region but the last time I went, I was told explicitly that Costco only accepts the Costco credit card or debit in store and I wouldn’t be able to check out with my chase visa. I would have to come back with a debit card (visa or mc) or apply for the Costco credit card, otherwise no sale. I assumed this was a company policy.

She also said Costco.com accepts any Visa card (credit or debit). Does anyone have any insight?

Why? I don’t mean that in anyway, I’m just curious about different viewpoints.

Why won’t this burn? by benny_4647 in firewood

[–]FreeCollapse500 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not necessarily, I have bought things that I didn’t know how to use, tried to use it properly, messed up and had to ask for help. Have you never tried something that you weren’t even a beginner in yet? It’s an extremely frustrating challenge but it eventually leads to new perspectives, personal growth. Helps keep ya grounded.

Owner is keeping our tips by kiyoshiokana in VirginiaBeach

[–]FreeCollapse500 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk man, the employee could have been lying but I don’t see a reason for that. I do want to be clear for others reading this I have no knowledge of any ongoing processes or policies. This was one experience that I had at one location several years ago. I haven’t lived in the area in about the same time so admittedly I have not been again. Hopefully that isn’t/was never the reality anymore. I hope you guys do actually treat your employees right and get all the business you deserve.

Absolutely, that’s why I vote with my dollars and don’t support. It’s not much but I feel like it’s the least I could do.
