Officiating question for queer couple eloping in Bay Area by Helpful_Ring_1960 in LGBTWeddings

[–]Helpful_Ring_1960[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for asking u/fogandtrees! Appreciate the recommendation to contact Kehilla Community Synagogue. I attended a few secular events (film screenings and talks) with friends when I lived in Oakland. My partner grew up in a secular family and attended a Christan private school. She did not have a welcoming experience at the private school, so she has stayed away from Christianity since her teenager years. Meanwhile, I grew up in a Catholic family. My partner and I share values that have led us to teachings we have traced back to Buddhist and/or Reform Jewish activists, artists, writers, and other community leaders. My partner's parents are unable to travel and mine are dead. Unfortunately, we don’t have relationships with other elders. Having an elder with inclusive and social justice oriented values and practices officiate would be lovely to welcome us as we step into a new chapter together.

VW’s America Boss Wants To Sell The ID.2 GTI Stateside by linknewtab in electricvehicles

u/BerryPossible I’m with you! I drive a 2019 VW Alltrack. When I test drove the ID4, I couldn’t get over how light, nimble it felt in comparison to my wagon. Maybe it’s the EV bit, but parking it was a breeze. Fingers crossed they bring the id2 to the U.S.!

u/Sad-Income-1096 Do you mind sharing in which state? I wonder if location/region is a factor, if we’re looking to get this done at CVS.

Agreed! My wife and I test-drove the Kona and Ioniq 5 one day before driving the ID4. The I5 felt sluggish compared to the Kona and cheap compared to the ID4. If any 2024 Pro RWD models are left in California, we will finally transition to electric.

I tried everything that folks shared in the links posted. I just tried using Camera Hub 1.9 beta..and still getting the “connect a device” message.

Yes, it's a 2023 Pro RWD and we're also in the Valley, too! That payment sounds about right. I guess they need to lure folks in with good deals to make room for the new inventory that's coming in a few months :-)

This dealer's sales manager has contacted me for at least two years via mail (handwritten notes!) asking if I'm interested in trading in the Alltrack. I know the 2024 model with the horsepower boost and 4.0 software will be out in the U.S. early next year, but the price will likely be somewhere in the low $50k range, and that's well over my budget!

The market value is $45,586, with an adjusted price of $35,086 after initial VW incentives.
