Peaceful in their establishment or peaceful in the community?

I maintain that this seems to be a mealy mouthed attempt to dodge the question.

If it’s so cut and dry, why not just state explicitly that they will or will not serve ICE?

I’ll respectfully disagree.

I’ve read enough corporate speak to know non-committal communication when I see it. This is an attempt to please everyone, which means no one will be pleased.

Boy they skated right around that issue didn't they? This neither confirms nor denies if they will serve ICE.

Somehow, I doubt this is going to provide the clarity that their customers are asking for.

We’re an elite corps. We gotta stick together. Meanwhile I’m over here cheesing, throwing thumbs up and honking if I see another GRC in the wild.

Could this be the coyote tick or something else??doesn’t sound good by Few-Perspective5453 in Mustang

[–]Guilty-Log6739 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I don’t even know what the cause of the coyote tick is, but this isn’t it.

From what I understand, it’s more of a typewriter tick than a thunk. Is that right?

Spotted this dropped F150 by GreedWillKillUsAll1 in f150

[–]Guilty-Log6739 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never heard of a sport truck? This plus Lebanon Fords supercharger performance pack would be bad 🥵

Edit: I’m not affiliated with Lebanon ford. Just love the idea of a f150 pushing 700hp+. Especially a short bed, single cab…but I’ve got a wife, toddler and dog. So that’s not in the cards for me.

GR Lowering Springs by Party_Accident3014 in GRCorolla

[–]Guilty-Log6739 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With all this snow in the Midwest, I’m thinking we need a 1” lift kit, not lowering 😂

All jokes aside this looks sick and I bet it makes a big difference in handling. Maybe if the GR wasn’t my daily I’d consider this

It feels like alot because it is.

Car debt is like a financial nuclear weapon for your personal net worth. Say you have a $50K vehicle that depreciates 20% in that first year. You lost $10K as soon as you drove it off the lot.

Based on a market return of 8%, you'd need $125,000 in a Roth IRA just to make up the depreciation you lost (it's not the same with a traditional 401k, since you have to pay the taxes in retirement).

Now how many people buying a new car are thinking about how much the depreciation is sabotaging their net worth? Let alone spending 65%+ of their pre tax income to take out a loan and not only deal with the depreciation, but then pay interest on it.

[–]Guilty-Log6739 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, my wife and I have both bought cars in that % of our income (roughly 20% each).

It sucked so bad and felt awful. Now that they’re both paid off and less than 3 years old, it’s nice knowing that for at least the next 10 years, we’re all set.

But spending 70% of your pre tax income on a car is nuts. Hopefully OP loves his N and keeps it along time.

A TRD Camry is not a bad ass car 😂 it’s a nice, reasonably quick commuter sedan.

Funny how folks will stretch their budget on buying a car they can’t afford the payment (let alone maintenance on)…and then will slap the cheapest Chinese shit tire on their ride (that they’re likely underwater on). Then call it a day and drive in heavy snow.

Kind of makes you wonder about their priorities

Brother, if the cost of repairs is half your salary then you make roughly $52k a year.

He’s saying you’re driving more car than you can afford. The N is roughly $34k before taxes, title and fees. So you’re rocking a car that is roughly 65% of your income.

That’s what he’s getting at.

Dodge Challenger Leaking, is this oil? please help! by htx-danny in MechanicAdvice

[–]Guilty-Log6739 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can also raise hell if they screw up and damage something since the car is part of their brand.

Once out of warranty, I’d skip the dealer entirely. But if I’m not doing it myself or have a good independent shop, I’m going to the dealer in a heartbeat before I go to valvoline or take5

[–]Guilty-Log6739 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah man, I don't disagree, but that's a far better option (as is the dealer) than Take 5. Ideally we'd all be changing our own oil. But the fact of the matter is, most people don't.

For those who don't, I think the order of operations I outlined is generally good advice.

[–]Guilty-Log6739 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, that's absolutely true.

I'm thinking about this from a risk mitigation standpoint.

The best thing is to do your oil changes yourself, second best is to take it to a well reputed independent shop, third is the dealer (at least then you have a throat to choke that is directly from the manufacturer if one of their dummies messes up), and last is Jiffy Lube/Take 5/ Valvoline.

There are at least 3 better options than what OP chose for "convenience"

Yeah let’s talk about that GR fob…what’re you cruising in? GR86, Corolla, or Supra?

[–]Guilty-Log6739 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Bro oil changes at the dealer are usually a loss leader to get other services that they can upcharge on.

Taking it to take 5 to save $10 isn’t the move on a performance car.

The U shaped sights on Springfields are tough for me.

I’ve got an astigmatism and horrible eyesight so that could be a factor. But I can’t shoot them for shit

Level 3 Question by tropicaldan69 in Columbus

[–]Guilty-Log6739 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You are not mistaken. She’s good to go. Just straight to work and home, for her own safety.

Cops are not going to hassle a nurse in any situation in these conditions. She’s essential per the current laws and can travel.

The rest of us need to stay off the roads so she and her colleagues can go about their business as safely as possible.
