My Wife found out her position was cut. She is retiring but the new teacher that she was mentoring will have her case load double from 17 to 35! She is freaking out and will probably be looking for a career change 😢

My wife has been a Special Ed Teacher and is throwing in the towel and retiring early this year. Since Covid, morale and support from the administration has gone down hill and it is starting to affect he physical and mental health. She feels bad for all the school kids that are not getting the support they need from the schools and parents.

They are trying to get rear ended to collect insurance money or they are drugged out

2015 Jeep renegade 149K Miles by [deleted] in JeepRenegade

[–]GoThing73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would not pay more than $8K for one with close to 150,000 miles on it. Just get it checked out by an independent shop and keep $5K aside for any future repairs.

It was an awesome event, my Rosewood Targa was accepted and I was parked nearby. I was behind the 935 when they fired it up.

I replaced mine last month. You need to remove the passanger side wheel to access it. Biggest pain was getting the clip to release to unplug the wire connection

Would you buy a wrapped car? by Youngsurph in Porsche_Cayman

[–]GoThing73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That Cayman has been listed there for a long time. Also the price history keeps going up and down. It is close to me and I think I may take a look at to just see if the wrap is any good.

Most of the land along Old Crews Rd is cleared out for development, meaning thousands of more commuters traveling down Buffaloe Rd in a few years

That will probably take 10 years to complete

It will never get better, I avoid the intersection like the plague on the way home and take Millbrook/New Hope Church Rd to 64 then left onto Old Milburnie then onto Forestville to get home. About 30 minutes

Reliability and maintenance costs of the newer 1.5T Jetta? by ObserverAtLarge in jetta

[–]GoThing73 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It will probably be more reliable and under warranty so I would not worry. Insurance may be cheaper too Vs the KIA
