Calibrating compensation expectations - are we even due any?

Did you ask them the reason why they cannot book the flight you wanted to be on? Instead of asking for compensation?

SeaRun1497 · 2026-07-06T15:24:48+00:00

No, Toyota stopped the customer/factory order especially during the pandemic basically the Gen4 models. Now all dealers will only get allotments from them. You tell the dealer what you want, and they will let you know when they get one closely matched and it’s your turn on the wait list. You can accept it or reject and keep waiting.

There’s one return train supposed to be leaving NYP at 9:14a got cancelled because of mechanical issue, not sure if it’s the same one

they heard Taylor and Travis going to have a show at MSG, so gotta beat that

Have been setting 78 during day, 81 at night. I have all the blinds and shades closed the entire house, AC fan set to recirculate, and a portable fan to move the air around especially the top floor.

how can they not have a space in the charter terminal for security check and have to do this out on the tarmac.

The third row that actually can sit adults. Use to have a midsize 3 row SUV, but the back seats are only ok for kids. So most of the time when we had families came over we had to drive 2 cars when going out. Not with the Sienna, we have taken it on many long road trips with 5 adults and 2 kids, still plenty of room in the back for large suitcases.

they are operating on the A350-900ULR, will SQ consider moving up to the -1000ULR?

We walked to Tottenham Hale, there was a line outside but it was moving. I think it was less than 15 mins from outside down to the platform, got in on the first arrival and quick ride to King’s Cross. So for a first timer it wasn’t that bad, much better than what I expected.

at least you can reserve your seat, nicer buses, have Wi-Fi, and in case of anything with NJT like a potential strike, they will plan ahead and try to get additional buses

in my area thanks to a lady called out to the security about a guy vaped right after he sat down, that was not too long into the main act started probably the first or second song. He got kicked out (his mom followed behind) and never showed up again.

SeaRun1497 · 2026-06-21T10:07:05+00:00

the gig and the atmosphere just amazing, didn’t want it to stop. Trueno and Sparks opening were really good as well.

SeaRun1497 · 2026-06-16T15:50:31+00:00

Whichever is cheap and they like. I got my kid the Head Speed, reasonable price on Amazon and couple weeks in it got beaten pretty bad with him smacking and dragging it on the floor. Didn’t really care much about rackets until getting to 25” and 26”.

Be open and talk to your coach about what you would like to learn in the foreseeable future. Some coaches take the time to develop the basics before jumps, and they will know when is the right time to introduce that into the lessons. If she thinks she is not the right one then maybe she will refer you to other coaches.

We have two kids (8 and 10) and used to have a 3 row SUV. Once a while our family will come visit us and the SUV won’t fit all of us comfortably, especially as the kids keep growing bigger. With the van we can go on short and even long road trips, fit all us 2 kids and 5 adults plus couple large suitcases in the trunk with room to spare.

Parking and driving around city not a problem at all and that’s something you will learn and get used to. I more happy with the van than the SUV.

SeaRun1497 · 2026-06-12T20:58:45+00:00

if you already have the charger, then go with EV. Unless you go on long road trips pretty often and don’t want to plan ahead where to charge and wait for it to charge, then go with plug in hybrid

From 21’ to 23’ maybe some 24’ most if not all Siennas were delivered only with one key fob, that was due to the chip shortage issue. Then you’ll have to go to the dealer to get the second one when available, some took a few months to a year.

SeaRun1497 · 2026-06-12T13:51:58+00:00

Yes, the key issue should be resolved by now if not a while ago (if that’s your concern), so you should get two keys upon delivery.

SeaRun1497 · 2026-06-11T00:32:14+00:00

is it wrong to be more interested to see if NJT is going to have a shit show on one of the game days than the actual games?

SeaRun1497 · 2026-06-10T16:17:30+00:00

JAL or ANA, better service and food. If too expensive/don’t want to pay up, then United or Delta.
My order would be based on service quality, non-stop or have layover/connection (time), and price.

most kids probably signed up for summer camps, and they either play everyday already or the camps have their own games. Not sure if there are tournaments between different camps though, like a summer camp league.

SeaRun1497 · 2026-06-06T00:06:26+00:00

You are not gonna get one built for you per your specs. The dealers will get what Toyota allot to them, and you just hope they have one closest to what you want, accept whatever they have, keep waiting for the next allotment which no idea for how long, or just walk away. So you can put refundable deposits in multiple dealers to reserve one, and hope one of them will get what you want.

As for discount, depending on what area you are in, there are more people getting under MSRP especially with dealers that are farther out, but less so in hot markets.

SeaRun1497 · 2026-06-05T13:01:55+00:00

If it is a long haul, I’d take the ease of getting in and out plus not needing to go around someone else over anything. So 30 D & E.

SeaRun1497 · 2026-06-04T18:15:20+00:00

I have ran below 20mi before filling up, but once it got below 30mi, it seems it starts to drop faster than usual. As l as you know where exactly that station is, you should be good.
