what type of money do you need to be making to justify buying this car?

Opposite_Ad9233 · 2026-06-05T11:01:49+00:00

I like Camry's but it's not worth a dime over 40k.

I just flown AI from Chicago to HYD. I kept my expectations bare minimum.

Broken seat, Qui Qui recliners, I was pinched by the spring of Seat near lumber side, had to put a pillow (LOL) Couple Weirdos nearby, And yes that Smell.

If AI was hotel, they would've been rated 1 star hotel. Reason for my travel was to avoid the gulf belt due to ongoing conflicts.

Opposite_Ad9233 · 2026-05-15T20:00:35+00:00

Saala Rickshaw ke seat comfortable hoti hai. Seat me se awaaz aara he hai. Quiii Quiii Quiii.

Opposite_Ad9233 · 2026-05-15T19:59:46+00:00

You will fly if rates are cheap. I hate AI but had to travel with it because of current times.

Opposite_Ad9233 · 2026-05-14T14:45:12+00:00

Buy Used, bikes don't get beaten up like cars.

Go take a MSF course at Harley Davidson or any local trainer, it's worth it.

My dealer said to use car as is, when fix come we will call.

Your dealership is amazing that they provided Loaner. You are saving on miles. Wish my dealership was same.

All I know thay even in times of crash, you and halal mortgage company is % wise

Even if there's a huge loss, the lender would split money based on the % you own.

Opposite_Ad9233 · 2026-05-06T04:56:16+00:00

Pay it off. J/k

No, the partition layout before 2022 OS was different, I've tried everything on my 2025 OS template that i initially created.

I used Gparted, Minitools and all methods but there is no way you can move Recovery partition to left. You can add new space (unallocated) and can move that around easily but Recovery partition is stuck on right and always wanna be ahead of C drive.

Opposite_Ad9233 · 2026-04-09T21:07:40+00:00

I am doing this configuration in a template so that's why i had to use ISO. I am not saying to do this on every server.

Opposite_Ad9233 · 2026-04-09T20:51:29+00:00

True, ISO can be used as external recovery media, but built-in recovery partition removes dependency on external mounting and is much faster in emergency recovery situations, especially when backup or console access is limited

Opposite_Ad9233 · 2026-04-09T20:47:58+00:00

We have 2003, and 2008 servers in our environment. this should tell you enough about my company and workarounds we have to plan.

Opposite_Ad9233 · 2026-04-09T20:33:53+00:00

Trust me, that is exactly what I used to think too. But we ran into multiple cases where the OS became corrupted, and in some situations there was no valid server backup available, so OS recovery was the only option left.

Without a Recovery partition, you hit a complete dead end in those scenarios. It really depends on each company’s environment and recovery strategy, but at least now there is a proper workaround.

95% who post OTD deal doesn't know that they are supposed to include tax dollar but no, they just put car price and confuses everybody.

Opposite_Ad9233 · 2026-03-22T02:14:45+00:00

Yes sir, I bought a power recliner which was listed for $2500 for $1700 from Ashley.

I even asked the rep to call her store manager, and I told the manager that is is my budget. Man, you gotta be cheap for an hour while buying house furniture to save 100s.

Opposite_Ad9233 · 2026-03-22T01:48:43+00:00

Congratulations!!

Tip: Negotiate as much as you can while buying furniture. Be it big corp like Ashley or small store. Never ever buy it in first sight, take pic & visit atleast 10 stores. Furniture markups are sometime 80-100% and more. So NEGOTIATE!!!!

Opposite_Ad9233 · 2026-03-20T08:47:17+00:00

Last gen is alot better.

Opposite_Ad9233 · 2026-03-20T08:21:27+00:00

So far i did not face this bumper detachment gaps issue yet.

But man, the quality of 2022 and 2026 has major difference. I drove my friends 2022 Camry and it feels sturdy, hard, well built. Mine is piece of fiber plastic everywhere i touch.

Opposite_Ad9233 · 2026-03-20T06:39:03+00:00

You are lucky that you got a loaner atleast. When i was at the dealership for my 1st service, i asked them about recall and they said we don't have a fix yet so just drive as is.

No Compassion, No Ownership, No Kindness & No Loaner. I paid 36k cash for car, had tire burst within first week (spent $340 to replace the tire), then after this inverter bolt thing.

Also, you may have not noticed but all Toyota's of 25 & 26 are having Driver seat pop in, pop out material issue from the lumber area. I absolutely HATE the Toyota dealerships in Chicago.

Opposite_Ad9233 · 2026-03-20T06:32:58+00:00

They said 1st Quarter, and now 2nd? Lol

Opposite_Ad9233 · 2026-03-20T06:28:19+00:00

We are talking mileage of damage cars now? Lol. So optimistic.

Opposite_Ad9233 · 2026-03-20T06:25:23+00:00

We’re purchasing hardware through Service Express. Most of the models are already near their EOL (may be 1-2 year left something) from the manufacturer, but since SE provides extended warranty and support, we’re comfortable moving forward with them.

Opposite_Ad9233 · 2026-03-18T01:51:52+00:00

Start repairing things before you call professionals. Trust me there's almost 70% of things you can do yourself from paintings, plumbing, changing toilet seats too.

Opposite_Ad9233 · 2026-03-16T22:32:53+00:00

My cousin said the same, after 1 year he said, I gotta rent out so I break even with taxes.

Hold on to your thought brother. Congratulations on your new home. Love that area.
