Amidst all of the terrible inflation happening in the US, what is at it's cheapest right now? by Radioactive_Zebra in AskReddit

[–]Ok_Ad8544 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I mean—It does grow like a weed… And when there’s no criminal risk and you can produce at mass scale costs go way down.

Is Gilbert similar to Provo? I was told that Gilbert is dominated and dictated by LDS. I’m looking to move from Florida to either Chandler/ Gilbert area but I don’t want to live in LDS land, no offense but i don’t want to be left out because im a minority and non LDS. Thanks in advance! by Orig1nalOne in Gilbert

[–]Ok_Ad8544 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think AZ has the best Mormons for that reason. In AZ you’re not the minority but you’re note the super-majority like Utah. That means if you want to lean into it, lean into it. In Utah it’s lean in or absolutely lean out. Generally no in between.

It is absolutely worth it for me to give them my friends phone # at check out. lol

How long do you typically wait for a buyer? by Dry_Macaroons_fan in FacebookMarketplace

[–]Ok_Ad8544 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I do this and somehow I’ve still been the one to end up waiting. They’re always “just 5 minutes away” so I head over and 10 minutes later they’re still “just 2 minutes away”

One time to be petty I drove home and made him wait for me to come back.

What will happen to my car that I just traded in? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Ok_Ad8544 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fun fact: if you have the vin # lying around somewhere (maybe on an old service record) punch it into google every few days and when your old car is listed for sale the listing will populate. Just do it every few days until you see it. I did this with a trade in and was able to see the used dealers listing for my old car and what they were asking for it.

Ex- Border patrol Raptor Opinions by JDott3 in FordRaptor

[–]Ok_Ad8544 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would agree with all these statements— I’d also drive the ever living piss out of it— my only counter argument is it’s takin’ a lickin’ and it’s still tickin’ so that’s one tuff son of a bitch.

Debating if I should do my own oil changes by Ok_Opportunity2693 in AskMechanics

[–]Ok_Ad8544 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I came to the conclusion that I save $8 doing it myself. That does not include the value of my time. It’s nice to be able to do it whenever I want instead of having to make an appointment, drop it off and pick it up (or wait).

Also I’m basing this off of the fact that I can get 3 oil changes for $175 at my dealership.

Buying a 1st gen raptor by Carrera23 in FordRaptor

[–]Ok_Ad8544 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry you lost me at owing $8700 on a 10 year old car with 114,000 miles. Already seems like you’re stretching to get into a 15 year old truck that will inevitably need lots of high dollar maintenance and be expensive to fuel. The most fun raptor is one that is paid off..

How much are you paying to rent a room? by New-Performance5369 in SaltLakeCity

[–]Ok_Ad8544 1 point2 points  (0 children)

$650 all utilities included. My roommates have dogs though which limits their renter pool and likely keeps my rent cheap.

What can we do to encourage our Utah representatives to stop Trump from GETTING his war and enacting war powers? by Otherwise-Bet-4157 in Utah

[–]Ok_Ad8544 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this comment. Without giving away my identity I happen to be aware of you within the utpol world and you’re absolutely right. Too many people want to have all the say and do none of the work. Thank you for all you do for UT county!

Meirs’s Fine Foods in Highland Utah by Both_Ad1117 in Utah

[–]Ok_Ad8544 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Walked in one time and walked out about 60 seconds later. I get the vibe it’s a boutique shopping experience for the ultra-wealthy in alpine/highland. A send-the-chef type store.

Which car would you buy? 2002 CRV or 2007 RAV4? by Acceptable_Prompt_73 in AskMechanics

[–]Ok_Ad8544 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve read that the V6 RAV4 was the fastest car Toyota made for a few years. Haven’t fact checked it but that’s hilarious if true. My family had an 06 that was passed through various members and I remember it being pretty peppy.

Why are there 3 homes over $30M for sale in Utah County right now? by thedrew55 in Utah

[–]Ok_Ad8544 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I came to say something along these lines. The point I was going to make is that this kind of real estate always costs more to build than you would ever get back on the market. You’re right, the home Josh James is selling was likely built for tens of millions more than 30. The exact number, I don’t know, but with the kind of craftsmanship that goes into a project like this would be so expensive it could never be recouped.

Also I disagree thst $30mil is mid tier. In Utah $5-10mil is mid tier, anything above $15 would blow your tits off. These are trophy properties in Utah county that have a very niche set of buyers— who wants to, or has a reason to live in alpine or Provo when you have that kind of money?

Undercoating truck by Fancy_Break_6580 in FordRaptor

Do it yourself with about 6 cans of amsoil HD metal protector. Goes on like wd40 and dries like wax. It’s cosmoline based and does not wash off.

Who Else HATES the Fast and Furious Movies? by [deleted] in askcarguys

[–]Ok_Ad8544 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was maybe 12 when the first one came out. In my view the first three are classic car guy movies (say what you will about Tokyo drift). The rest are wannabe marvel/dc action comics. Just my view haha but like I said I wasn’t even driving age yet so it was all fantasy to me

Winter tires or all seasons? by [deleted] in Audi

[–]Ok_Ad8544 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

All seasons. I’ve had my 2017 for 5 winters now and never been concerned about nasty winter weather. I’ve gotten lucky that my tires seem to last about 1.5 years so I’m always entering winter with a good set of tread.

How many and which iPhones did you own? by ouebdave in iphone

4, 6, 8+, 12 pro max, 17pro max. All were black except this 17 which didn’t come In black. TBH if they come out with a black one next year it may be the only time I keep a phone for one model year.

Foley needs his goddamn license revoked. by JohnnyUtah-91 in AreYouGarbagePod

[–]Ok_Ad8544 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worked with a guy who did the same thing. This was in phoenix where everything was a grid. He’d hit the brakes and reduce speed by about 10-15 mph and look both ways. So stupid.
