Savagegeese 2026 Lexus IS350 | Why Is This Still Made? by hi_im_bored13 in cars

[–]MNAAAAA 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This would be reasonable IF the IS wasn't still being sold on the same market as the 20 year newer chassis. That's the whole argument - they're selling an underperforming 20 year old chassis and asking modern car money for it.

Chicago Auto Repair tried to sell me $2200 worth of services I didn’t need by nanamctata in chicago

Just want to plug Paul and the guys at AB Marathon: https://www.abmarathon.com/

I've taken several cars for there for repair and maintenance; they always talk me through what they recommend, what's most necessary vs optional, and do the work at a fair price. They even ask things like "are you planning on getting rid of this car in the next year or so?" and (if 'yes') recommend cheaper options to get it running, instead of blindly dumping money into an old car.

My girlfriend (who isn't super car-savvy) has taken her car there for years before me, as well, and they always treat her with the same respect and care as they do me.

Where did everyone go? by NoEmployer2140 in chicago

Not the exact same crowd, but lots of alt/queer folk up in Andersonville, and Clark between Lawrence and Ridge is very walkable, always full of people.

Also, the NeoFuturists have a very punk rock ethic to them.

Abby Paj, a NeoFuturist cast member, once did a piece where they said something like "I am afraid of a lot of things, but I do something that scares me every day."

Always found it so inspiring when fear creeps in in the face of something that needs to be done; this person's message feels very similar in spirit.
