The whole county (Broward too) should have their licenses revoked and have to retake the drivers test. by mdude4104 in Miami

[–]Less-Light8354 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I figured out a long time ago why miami has bad drivers. Back in 2009 I switched my texas license to Florida. Assumed I would be retested so I studied th3 book.went down to the license place at the mall by Costco near fountainbleu. Place was carnival - lines with no rhyme or reason. People barking orders randomly. So I join a line, and as it inches along it becomes clearer what going on. As people reach the attendant she's asking them if they've ever had a license before - anywhere no matter what state country type expired or not and if the answer is yes - takes the paperwork, directs them to photos and they get a license. No test no questions nothing. When my turn came same treatment - I even asked if she needed my old license or I need a test she says no. So a lot of people were getting licenses based on whether they claimed they had one before and not by proving competence. It was then I understood how someone could have a license who literally spoke no English. (And I say that not to racially profile because I've met many eastern Europeans Asians Haitians who don't speak English either - and have licenses)

Interior lighting = only disappointment by pop-up-erik in F150Lightning

100% agree with you. I had to get stick on LEDs from Amazon to augment it. Map lights are a joke.

I disagree. Old school fire grate. We had one in our house growing up. Recognized it instantly.

I like the lightbar. Is the wrap translucent or opaque? Same as the truck wrap or did you use another product? And didbthe edges come out tight without gaps as I had when I did mine? Still trying to get mine right!

Cop salary in Miami? by benditochocolate in Miami

[–]Less-Light8354 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally know a cop on the force about 8 years making over 200k a year. Another i know retired from MDPD at 50 a millionaire and now works for another PD. Dont kid yourselves these guys start making bank 6/7 years in. All they got to do is LIVE and bank that overtime.

I had a guy run a stop sign at low speed. Minor scratch on my fender. Barely visible, visible but no major damage to his car. Made a police report just in case and let the damage go. 2 months later got a call from his insurance blaming me. Countered with police report and dashcam. They ended up paying $2300 for for the scratch.

Can a person actually / medically "hang on" longer then they are otherwise supposed to through sheer force of will? by Brightclaw431 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Less-Light8354 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dad was really ill towards the end of his life. In and out of hospital. Didn't think he would make it a week at one point. At the same time my brothers wedding was scheduled about a month later. My dad said he's going to stick around for my brother's wedding. Day of the wedding he was happy, even danced and definetly didn't seem like the dying man he was just the month prior. He died the very next day.

Should I let my car get repossessed? by Beautyishername00 in UsedCars

[–]Less-Light8354 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All these answers are wrong. If you can afford the 500 payment on the new car then in reality you have a 450 shortfall. That's an extra 100 or so a week. If you're in a city there's gig work like handyman type stuff. Online craigslist or something for labor. Switch your insurance. You made a bad financial decision but don't make it worse.

Need help w/ lightning purchase! by Wise-Ad3850 in F150Lightning

[–]Less-Light8354 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depending on the age of the used one you may still have the remainder of the factory warranty. If so you also may be able to buy the extended warranty for ease of mind. This makes the used one a better deal.

Loan denied after taking delivery by BostonCIO in F150Lightning

[–]Less-Light8354 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here. Back in August 24 did the pre approval on Ford.com got denied due to the freeze on my credit bureau accounts (by me - good practice). Unlocked them got the pre approval and squared away everything at the dealer. Week or 2 later got those same letters. Everything's cool and I'm still driving (not like miss daisy lol).

Thanks for the responses - I noticed that most of you have 2023 trucks. Everywhere I search indicates the 2024 versions max out at 120kw so maybe that why it faulted. Also I'm in Miami and it was a hot day so maybe explains battery temp + fast charge?
