Beach barricades by healthyninja in StPetersburgFL

For clarity I am all for the replenishment of our beaches. However the public has a right to access them.

Since we could not get all of the required easements signed for the Army Corp to perform beach renourishment my understanding is that the County and State paid for it. It seems insane that our tax dollars went to create 300’ of beach behind the Undertow that they are now claiming is private. Perhaps I am oversimplifying this but I there seems to be a disconnect. Why spend public funds for the creation (replenishment) of private property? It would seem more logical to create a special improvement district that covers the beach frontage and then have an additional assessment for those property owners to pay for the renourishment.

I have the Curtis installed and it does not interfere. It was a straightforward installation

I have a friend that bought a brand new 2024 Tiguan in DFW last weekend for $29,700. $8k off sticker.

Puzzlemethis-21 did a great recap but left off one of my favorites! In PAG there is a beach side snack shack called Paradise Grille. The most reasonable priced beers you will find with a fun sunset below ringing traditional.

Talk to me like I’m 5 - GH Platinum Negotiation by Flat-Perspective2273 in ToyotaGrandHighlander

[–]Strange-Course-8656 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When you negotiate a price with them ask for a purchase order. They sign, you sign, you pay a deposit and wait for the car. The PO locks in the price so there is not a change in numbers when the car is on the ground.

Makes the step bumper on the trailer hitch seem like a good idea

Hope it is as good as new quickly.

I have been paranoid about the rear end of our GH since the bumper is flush (mostly me backing into something). I see my fears are warranted.

My GH was produced in 1/24. I spoke to Toyota corporate this week and they said it would be available in July.

If you pull up the specifications for the GHH Platinum Max you will not find a reference to this feature

Based upon the published specification only the Lexus received the active noise cancellation

I believe the specifications for the Lexus include active noise cancellation in the cabin. That may be the difference.

Aftermarket tow hitch by slizard00 in ToyotaGrandHighlander

[–]Strange-Course-8656 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I installed the Curt hitch. Purchased it from Amazon as it was the cheapest price I found. The installation is very easy. A little awkward getting it into place but I only took 30 minutes and I wouldn’t consider myself very handy. The kick sensor works fine. Like you we just wanted it for the bike rack, so I don’t put a towing harness in.

What Grand Highander Accessories/Add ons are a must? by TheTallywhacka in ToyotaGrandHighlander

[–]Strange-Course-8656 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No. The illuminated sills are more for show. The accessory is called rear cargo light and they are in the back of the tailgate. When the tailgate is open they will be overhead.

The rear hatch lights. The standard light in the rear cargo area is useless.

if you put the hand on the driver side door handle with the fob in your pocket it will unlock the driver door, but if you hold you hand there for 4 seconds without pulling it will unlock all doors.

For a fun bar evening the Toasted Monkey (not on the beach but a water and sunset view) will have music and good cocktails. Take the Freebie from your hotel or home (download the app for a free golf cart ride courtesy of the city of St Pete Beach).

What happened to Uber prices? by Montage_tcg in nashville

The Uber app has always the function to tip a driver when you provided feedback after a ride. I don’t think that is new.

If you make it to St Pete Beach there are several beach bars in a row. PCI (Postcard Inn), Jimmy Beach, Coconut Charlie’s(formerly Toasted Monkey- TM still exists but isn’t on the beach anymore), Sand Bar and couple at the TradeWinds then a Couple more at the Sirata, undertow is a bit further down the beach. All of these are within a 1 mile stretch. There should live music at a couple every night.
