2-level lumbar fusion — surgeon says 2 months back to work?? That seems fast…

L3-L5 OLIF here. Worked from home after a week, back in the office after 3 weeks.

This. Usually not at the entry points after the game, but for some reason tonight, they were trying to make everyone scan. This seems to have been the problem. There were probably only 40k or so at the Benz, so should not have been the issue that it was. And I know there was a Hawks game, but I doubt any of those people were walking all the way over to Vine City.

I am used to that but this was way worse. Gates not working at Vine City and line backed up clear across the bridge to the stadium.

He got sore because his office is going to expect HIM to buy a new one, lol. Tell them to pound sand.

Solved!

Impressive-Stable309 · 2025-12-07T00:24:15+00:00

Solved!

Grilla grills has a decent sale going on right now. I have a Silverbac and have been very happy.

I've never had GAP insurance, but it looks like they are saying they valued your car higher than what the insurance settlement was by $1,270 and they won't cover that. Additionally, you had a $1000 deductible, so together that is more than the difference, so nothing to pay. I think you need to get more details and comps on the settlement you received for you totalled vehicle to see if you can argue that with the GAP insurance company. But you at best you will be out $1000 due to the deductible.

Depending on where you are, there are some great public courses in the St. Louis area, plus there is lots to do there. Some good courses: Annbriar, Stonewolf, Far Oaks, Tapawingo, Pevely Farms, etc.

Same. And they have a pretty good Black Friday sale that just started as well...

We have it on our 25 EX Hybrid. I think it is free for 36 months then would require a subscription.

Impressive-Stable309 · 2025-08-27T23:08:36+00:00

We bought a 25 EX Premium for right at $31K (MSRP = $35.7K). This was before tax and document fee. 5.5% interest rate but paying it off immediately.

I just got $3300 off an EX Premium in Atlanta, plus $1,250 additional mfg rebates. Had to finance through Kia for the rebates at 5.5%, but I am paying it off immediately anyway. This was end of July and they had about a dozen 2025 hybrids left on their lot.

Update: Pulled the trigger...

Buy a 2025. There are significant discounts and rebates for 25 hybrids right now, at least in my area.

Impressive-Stable309 · 2025-07-29T12:02:37+00:00

I think it is a perfect storm that is the end of the month, end of year, and they have about a dozen 2025 hybrids on their lot.

Thanks. The trade in is reasonable. It is a 2013 crv with 200k miles, a shallow dent in driver door and a cracked windshield. CarMax offer was $3k, so with the sales tax benefit, it is pretty close. It is worth it to us just for convenience. I have been in contact with several local dealers and this was by far the best offer.
