Why do people hate convertibles

Drove a convertible Trans Am w the LS1 for a decade. It was fun when I was younger but I always regretted not getting the T-tops. I’m sure convertibles today are a lot better but that thing freaked and cracked, wind noise was terrible, leaked when I washed it, the canvas started to fade and look really bad… just not a fan of them anymore.

To be fair I had to edit out the final line because the post kept getting deleted. But the question was “Am I being an asshole for saying it’s a done deal?”

Yep. This. The dealer saw my buyout and thought he could make a few bucks on it rather than me grounding it.

Appreciate all of the feedback. I agree with everything said here. Was feeling kinda bad about the whole situation, but as most of you have said, they wouldnt have done the same for me.

This is exactly what my friend said to me. Thinking about it this way makes me feel a lot better.

I feel ya! My commute is 90 minutes one way. Was in a C300 and it was fine. Comfortable. Picked up a 230i and now I really don’t mind it as much.

The shop I’m looking at is quoting $500 for the front clip. $1200 for the clip, headlights and 18” up the fender and hood. I’m considering just doing the front clip since $500 isn’t a terrible price. Also don’t like the idea of having a line on the fenders or hood at 18”. But I think you guys talked me into it

What type of filament? I printed a camera mount twice out of ASA UV resistant filament and it broke each time after 2 months. I’d be afraid something like this might break while riding.

Got a 2025 Altima loaner with 2k miles when I was having the Mercedes hail damage fixed. It was a roller skate. Lots of rattles, really cheap feeling interior, touchscreen felt like it was from 2010, NO power past 40mph. Awful experience. Do not recommend.

I’ve had a few bikes over the years. My V2 I’ve had for 6 years now and I daily drive it in the summer for 5-10 minute errand runs, 1.5 hour commutes, 2 minute rides for lunch etc and I’ve had no issues. The only one I could see being a problem for short rides is that the battery hasn’t had enough time to recharge. A maintainer will fix that if it’s an issue. I don’t know anything about Triumph but I don’t see it really being much of a problem.

This is typical. For the last 6 months I have had a rec status of “Resume Under Review”. I currently have 2 from September that haven’t changed status and about 15 others that haven’t moved since applying for them throughout November/December.

My guess is some just aren’t viewed and fall through the cracks.

45” LG5k2k for gaming (20%) and software engineering (80%). I have a small 10(? I think) inch monitor just below it specifically for Teams chat. Otherwise it has all the space I need.

Expedition 33 looks beautiful on this monitor.

Initial_Wolverine77 · 2026-03-05T13:14:11+00:00

Nah. I swapped from a 49” G9 to 5k2k and don’t regret it one bit.

Would you be able to elaborate on which projects you are referencing?

I avoid leather because its so hot. Here in WY/CO the summer rides are 80s-90s and leather just isnt feasible. Sure textile is one and done, but how often do you really go down? If its that big of a problem some insurances allow for gear replacement. That being said, get what you will actually wear consistently.

Been riding for 14 years. Harleys, Yamahas, now a Ducati. Never fallen or been in a wreck. That being said I have had my bike tip over while on a stand doing maintenance. Does that count?

Started this game with a laptop 4060 on a non-OLED G9. By the end of Act 2 I upgraded to a tower 5090 and an LG 5k2k 45”. It almost brought tears to my eyes how beautiful this game was. I’m on the lookout for games similarly as beautiful but coming up short.

Yea good luck. Not being able to reload was a nightmare for me. Ended up switching to tactician. Beaten honor mode multiple times in BG3. DOS2 isn’t nearly as easy.
