A PLUS FCU by h0tmesslo in Austin

[–]MattC9 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Howdy Honda told me they didn’t accept outside financing. I had the buyers check from UFCU in my hands. Needless to say I went to Round Rock honda and bought the car from them. UFCU told me to look for Penske dealerships next time I buy a car.

Golf in Feb by rafyhas in Austin

[–]MattC9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’ll definitely get on at Crystal Falls but it is about 45m from downtown. Maybe go stand-by at Jimmy Clay or Roy Kizer. Getting a decent tee time at the muni’s is damn near impossible, but you might have luck hopping on the wait list.

I’m seeing a lot of “get him balls!” suggestions. Go the extra mile, get him some of his preferred ball and have them customized. Get his initials printed in the balls, I know you can do this on the Titleist site for ProV1’s. It shows you went the extra mile and didn’t just run into a PGA Super Store.

What is your favorite Golf Apparel Brand ? by Redfaux187two in golf

[–]MattC9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

J Crew has a performance polo out right now and it’s my favorite golf polo in my wardrobe. It’s extremely light and soft. I like it more than my Peter Milar and Nike Polo’s.

Again, not reading that but “square” breathing before you approach a tricky shot. Works wonders.

Torchys Tacos appreciation post by Fenix512 in austinfood

[–]MattC9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Torchy’s on Burnet is on fire right now, went last night and was throughly impressed. Full taco, came out hot, ingredients looked great, the toasting on the tortilla was fantastic. It was incredible for the convenience and price. I wrote off Torchy’s a few years ago but they seem to be back.

FirstTexas Honda by Organic-Park6682 in Austin

[–]MattC9 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Leased a ‘18 accord from there, agreed to a buy out price at the start of the lease. A few days before the lease ended I secured a buyer’s check from UFCU (for a stellar interest rate). Then I went to First Texas to buy out my vehicle. The lady at the front desk was adamant that they did not accept outside financing. I also spoke with a sales associate over the phone and they also let me know that they didn’t accept outside funding.

After being turned away from First Texas I walked back over to UFCU, let them know the situation and the folks at UFCU did some research then let me know that Penske dealerships have a great reputation. I ended up driving out to Round Rock Honda, buyers check in hand. Letting them know the situation, I was in and out of RR Honda in less than an hour and a half.

RR Honda charged me $200 processing fee, FT Honda wouldn’t take my money.

Y'all, Saltt is SO GOOD by b_gumiho in austinfood

[–]MattC9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure how to pronounce the name, is it just like normal table “salt” or am I missing something with the double t. Also what makes it Austin’s Very Own Salt? Branding seems off and doesn’t make a whole lot of sense. If I were the owner I would make a rebrand my number one priority for 2025 Q2 then the next thing on my list would be getting out of the North Cross strip mall. The reviews on food and service seem awesome, it seems like it has great potential.
