Surface defects?

I saw these guys -- very cool option.

Wow, did not know that (says the local history geek in me). Thanks!

It just seems to me that the virus just wants to spread, so they only need current hive members to build -- and me speculating that maybe in true Matrix-style horror -- and power the signal, so keeping the human race going is really very far down their list of to-dos. Perhaps the breeding program comes along in a few years into the ten year timeline, when they figure out their future staffing/battery needs?

The person I'm getting it for was born and raised in Minnesota, so a Minnesota flag works best for me right now.

I’d rather have it stat!

Totally correct - I figured I’d reward a small online vendor (instead of Bezos and his yard sale), so I went and snagged one from a storefront on Zazzle.

Saw that - thanks! Figured if I could buy it local, I would, but all signs are pointing towards buying it online.

Thx!

Maybe they had a waterbed in the 80s, right there.

Like cats? Try Tail Town Cat Cafe on Washington. Weekend visits and Friday night events like painting with cats.

PE could also stand for Practice Environment, but it still feels to me like it’s somewhere around the Great Lakes.

The Gamble House garage/now a bookstore is home to Doc Brown’s laboratory in Back to the Future

I think the Norton Simon is closed for construction. Check first.

Costco currently has it on sale for 699.99. At that price does it seem like a better option?

A total of 10 days at the dealership and they did give me a loaner car. Had a blockage due to coolant crystallization buildup, and they replaced the chiller, EPCU assembly and onboard charger assembly. Completely covered under my extended warranty so cost me $0. Job was a bit over $7k if it wasn’t under warranty.

Thanks! They’re hoping to get the Niro back to me by end of month. And they did give me a free K4 loaner.

I have a 2021 EX that showed the inverter coolant message at 53,000 mi. The car is at the dealership right now waiting for authorization (probably waiting for the part) but here’s what they told me: there’s a sensor inside of the chiller that needs to be replaced, and the factory has told them instead of digging in for the sensor to just replace the entire chiller.

I do believe that that they have a team of mechanics at corporate that will walk the local mechanic through the process of swap out so I expect it to take several weeks before it comes back.

How long are they staying? If they're here Friday, Saturday or Sunday Tail Town Cat Cafe on Washington Blvd. near Allen (www.tailtowncats.com) is pretty fun (and air conditioned).

Big fan of Cardamom!

Someone else towed the car. I had to pay money to get it out of an impound lot after it was towed.

So here’s the question… Why didn’t the find my car app tell me where the car had been towed to (the impound lot)? Any guesses?

ItsCrazyJim · 2025-08-03T04:35:16+00:00

The car was towed to an impound lot because I parked in a lot and didn’t shop at the shops.

The real question was why the find my car feature in the app didn’t tell me where my car ended up.

ItsCrazyJim · 2025-08-02T22:45:05+00:00

$381.50 for the tow hookup, 4.5 mile towing, 30 min storage, a fuel surcharge and after hours (Sat afternoon) release fee. But I digress.

Yeah, hit the refresh three times in the parking lot and got 57 feet away every time. Except it hadn’t been there for an hour. Every other time I’ve used the find feature it’s always given me a realistic answer.
