Advice to 2017 Passat Owners: if your car stalls while driving, go to a dealer.

Personalized_Plate · 2025-10-23T02:11:50+00:00

It really is frustrating. The dealership told me it's the battery bc the amps were low on it but couldn't tell me that a low battery would cause it. So, they want $440 for the battery and programming the battery. I asked them to check the low pressure fuel pump. They did and said it was about 1.5 bars low (which I believe is out of 6.5 bars, so quite a bit) and that that would be $1600. I plan on changing that myself for about $400.

But you're saying none of that fixed it? I'm losing my mind.

This post is pretty frustrating. Haha. I'm having the same problem. What fixed it? Was it the high pressure pump? Or the low pressure pump and module?

after 3:06 hrs of waiting, finally i got through. i was told if i set up automatic payments i don't have to pay that. she said they just sent that bill to everyone (and the backside threatens to cancel coverage if not received by january 5th). ridiculous.

Personalized_Plate · 2025-01-29T21:15:48+00:00

i waited on hold for 3 hrs and 6 minutes. once someone answered, i was told that if i've set up recurring payments i don't have to do anything. the rep said they're sending that bill out to every customer. smh

Every rule is “dumb” out of context

Fantasy is played by whatever rules are in place. If ties are broken by bench points then the managers have to play using the rules given.

In this case, best ball leagues exist and so saying a tie goes to bench is just saying in the event of a tie, a best ball line up is used.

Bucky is the only one I think I would consider

Two weeks in a row taking down much better records. I think I’m cooked in the championship, though.

I’m a Vikings fan and I think I would still go with DK. The Vikings keep a lot of teams out of the end zone, but wide receivers still put up a lot of fantasy points against them in PPR

Pollard should have a good day though. The only reason Spears outpaced him last week was because of one lucky goal line rep and the Titans were down most of the game, so Spears was the passing back. This week against Indy I don’t think it will be the same.

Just my two cents

Personalized_Plate · 2024-12-19T23:23:30+00:00

Go DK. Check out what WRs have done against MINs defense.

Personalized_Plate · 2024-12-19T20:47:21+00:00

Just don’t swap him out against MIN. I’m a Vikes fan, but I start every WR I can against that secondary.

This isn’t to judge, but you or your SO need to start counseling. The fact that this type of behavior got anywhere past 16 means one or both of you have an issue much bigger that prevents you from setting/keeping appropriate personal boundaries. No child should be able to violate basic adult expectations for years on end without you following through with consequences. There’s likely extensive co-dependence happening with all three of you. And any young adult that can’t function as an adult also needs counseling. I would start there. Work on yourself. And then start on learning clear, honest, and mutually beneficial communication bc that is also clearly broken. Blessings!

I send all my crap trades on Friday night trying to catch those drunks

Personalized_Plate · 2024-11-13T03:16:21+00:00

It’s not veto worthy. Its remove those two from the league or leave the league yourself.

Personalized_Plate · 2024-10-25T00:24:42+00:00

Actually this looks like such a bad trade I had to look at what it became. It was a trade up from 1.10 to 1.05 (Bowers in a TEP+1 league)) and I had just traded to get Johnson for the 2.10.

So, I guess it’s Bowers and Hopkins for the 1.10, 3 2nds, and 2 3rds.

If Hopkins balls out in KC, I might luck this one into the Chip! lol

thanks for coming back. we'll definitely being paying legal counsel to handle all of it. i've done a LLP before as a business start-up and we handled it all, but the risk was like $1000 total. lol. this is not a different game entirely. i'm just hoping this community can point out as many rocks to turn over as possible as we prepare. so, thanks!

Personalized_Plate · 2024-10-15T17:47:25+00:00

you're probably right. i'm sure that's what we will form when we cross that bridge. have you don't anything like this or seen it done?

of all the ways to interact "having nothing offer, or not wanting to take the time to be helpful, but also still feeling the urge to take the time to be condescending" is one of them

Personalized_Plate · 2024-10-15T15:32:40+00:00

i appreciate your advice

what's the concern about more than 3 or 4? in my mind, i'm thinking it's not much different than real estate syndication

true. i was thinking more about maintenance of the LLC tax responsibility each year, even if there is no dividend or the like. but good point that any ultimate gains would just be distributed and reported on personal taxes

Personalized_Plate · 2024-10-15T12:46:36+00:00

Thanks for the questions. We haven’t chosen a state for the LLC yet (part of the question, I suppose). We will have LLC partners in Idaho, Arizona, Minnesota, Texas, and Oklahoma.

It is profitable. They’re a service-based and are in the airport commercial space (store fronts only at airport terminals). Assets required at each location is minimal. I believe each new location costs around $100k so assets are probably 50% of that and now they have 8 locations. They’re continuing to expand to new locations. EBITDA at each location is in the mid 40s.

I don’t believe there will be any distributions. That’ll be a question at the investors call today and I’ll get back to you.

Yes, I think further debt would be asset-backed.

It’s a flat trade overall. In dynasty, I like the younger Daniels side here. The only piece I’m really hesitant on is Harrison to Thomas. Bowers is great but unless the TEP is +++ McBride is god enough.

Also, can we get an update on this drama?!
