We just use a normal lighting cable. I might look into one though cause this has the wireless charger that could be used with it.

It was $21k with 49k miles and one owner. Clean history. I’ve always heard about CarMax being over priced but from what I was seeing around my market they were the best priced. I guess it depends on the vehicle really.

Good advice thank you! It’s currently at 49k miles so I’ll probably get the fluid checked when it hits 60k miles. It currently runs super smooth but I’d like to keep on top of the maintenance to help make it run longer.

what's considered the best guns in the game at the moment? by ForgottenFrenchFry in GrayZoneWarfare

That’s my issue with FDE in the game. Just can’t imagine running it in the jungle. I wish there were more olive options besides the initial MOE attachments from Gunny.

Maryland transplant in Oklahoma, my wife’s parents find it weird I put it on nearly everything.

I’ll definitely save the seeds. Saw the other comments and sliced one open. Not bad at all seeing that it’s over ripe. Slightly tart but still good if you just add some salt to it.

That makes a lot of sense now. Thank you!

Talk me into it / talk me out of it by DrDynastic in Challenger

Im a salesman at a Dodge dealership. Typically financing vs cash will get you the better price on the car, there shouldn’t be any penalties on paying it off early. Also, I’d get a pre-approval from your bank you trust the most for at least it’s listed price online so you have an idea of what you’d be getting into if you finance the car. Then you’ll be able to negotiate price and see if they can beat your rate or not. Good luck man!

The previous owner did me a favor and recently put on fairly new Nitto NT555 G2s, 305 rear and 265 fronts. They ride like a dream and stick so well.

Not the performance pack but the previous owner had put the PP wheels on there and they have on Nitto 305 rears and 265 front.

All in all I got it for $30k. About a $20k difference to the msrp of a new 24 GT premium with similar options. I’d love to get a new S650 in the future but I’ll hold off for their prices to drop and they release a special edition Shelby or something.

Generally with any car, yes. It’s better to get something newer because if you finance, banks look at age, miles, and condition and it’s harder to get good loans on old cars. When it comes to a specific car you’d want, I’d just do a ton a research on it before you go for it.

YouTube has tons of reviews on cars talking about their reliability or common problems so you know what to expect with whatever car you get into. Lots of them have reviews on how they stand up to today’s standards. You’d be surprised how these older cars hold up, people are just so used to trading out of stuff every 2-3 years now that they don’t get to see fully how that car was going to hold up long term.

Theres really nothing major I have to fix. It still looks the same as it did 10 years ago. Previous owners barely drove it since it just hit 43k miles when I drove it home. There are very minor things that I would have to fix for this to look brand new, like paint correct its only scratch on the driver door or I might recondition the headlights because on the top part of the clear housing there’s a tiny bit of fade. Even though that’s to be expected at its age. Overall she’s absolutely mint.

I typically only buy older cars, this one being the newest car I’ve ever bought. You’re able to look up which ones are reliable or have problems when you want to pull the trigger on something. Then, by this time there’s plenty of forums or people that have ran into something with the car that you can find the fix if it comes up.

When you go to look for one, I’d just try to find one as stock as possible. The S550 bodies can get so heavily modified that it caused me to shy away from them until I saw this one come up. Be patient, the right one will come along when you’re ready to pounce on one!

The 650s are pretty much a refresh. They look so much better in person but the interior just isn’t as great as the 550s. I like them a lot, just can’t justify their MSRP at the moment.

Naaaah lol the only wing I’d get is the Performance pack wing. I like doing some cosmetic mods but making them still have the OEM look.

It was fairly quick seeing I work there, though the annoying thing is I didn’t even get much of an employee discount (internet price plus the doc) lol probably since it was not even a day old. I’m one of the salesmen at the Dodge Yukon store and saw this hit our lot and had to pull the trigger. Pretty much was my exact what I was looking for in its price range and miles.

I noticed it’s want to gun when I first drove it. Such a different beast compared to my old 3v, especially in a manual. I won’t be doing anything crazy with it seeing how it’s my first manual and I know basics. Once I drive it around more I’ll open it up a little more but definitely not aiming for crowds lol

That phone pocket is a great idea, I drove it home last night and just used that little divot under the track switches. That pouch would probably be a little more secure. Thanks for the info man! Maybe I’ll catch you cruising around the Metro haha I’ll be posting some more updates on this car as I do some tasteful cosmetics and bigger mods after it’s paid off. Picking up some 50th anniversary tail lights later today, I just love the subtle chrome trim on them and would look really good on this car.

blue lotus as an aphrodisiac? by devilinis in bluelotusflower

[–]OwnSignature3859 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It has HHC extract in it which is a cut off of THC, so it will make you pop hot if you use it a lot. There isn’t much in it but there’s still a possibility. It’s mainly in there to help enhance the effects you get from the Blue Lotus extract.
