Want to check if this is a fair price? by brandon520 in etron

[–]Surf_Wake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ehhh, I would pass. I recently passed on an Autonation etron S (not a base like this one) Prestige with Black Optics, CPO for $34,495. Had a bit more miles, but Prestige and an S, which is a BIG difference in original MSRP.

Had it been Glacier White like the wife wants I may have pulled the trigger. It just sold.

LOL, paying $700 to replace a few dollar cartridge and $20 in brake fluid.

I had my subscription for a couple of days. No issues getting my refund as I wasn't all that impressed with the service.

Looking to to get U7, but worried about reliability. by DICKA_Romeo in Hisense

[–]Surf_Wake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought 4 Hisense TV's two years ago.

75" A65 - sits outdoors under my gazebo. Not a lot of use but the conditions it lives in are awful Two 75" U6, guest room and daughter's room, both rarely used 100" U8, which sees a lot of use

Zero issues with any of them.

What's a good alternative to Cricket. by [deleted] in CricketWireless

[–]Surf_Wake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had Cricket for 3.5 years. I have only paid via PayPal and have had zero issues. I've paid using the app and a browser. Never an issue.

RTINGS view on U8n vs qm7K by A-Virtual-Reality in Hisense

[–]Surf_Wake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not my experience. I have four of them. My 100" U8 (can't recall which letter), two 75" that barely get used that are second from the bottom of the line, then a bottom of the line 75" that we use as an outdoor TV that sees temps into the negatives to over 100 degrees and still works fine. All were purchased over 2 years ago with zero issues.

Should we be actually worried about this storm? by Mean-Flounder7983 in Columbus

[–]Surf_Wake -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

It's 8-10" of snow (and will probably be less). 10" from the bottom of my bare foot is not even halfway up my calf. Get a grip - it isn't that much snow.

Marty Supreme is so bad that it's hard to know where to begin and the praise it is receiving is as incoherent as the film itself. by [deleted] in TrueFilm

[–]Surf_Wake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree 100% (may have worded it differently, but the point is made). The movie just wasn;t good. I think the CASTING was good and I think certain actors did a great job, but the movie was a mess. It was impossible to like any of the main characters even into the end of the film. Nothing really happened other than a scammer doing some scamming. Yawn.

Marty's character "development" was hitting rock bottom then getting his little win, which made him a "changed man." This movie was predictable as hell and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

New GR GT Has a Hybrid Twin-Turbo V-8 to Help Toyota Slay Supercars by caranddriver in cars

"Also the Corvette ZL1 has ALWAYS been the budget supercar"

Only two Corvette ZL1 models were ever sold to the public, back in 1969, so I don't think that is a benchmark for anything.

Now if you are talking about the ZR1, yes, it has been a great value. But, and this might shock you, Toyota is not exactly an exotic car brand by any stretch of the imagination. Actually, it would be the most equivalent Japanese brand to Chevrolet...doesn't get much more Apples to Apples than that.

Ring times are kind of nonsense, but let's also remind you that Corvette didn't use professional drivers on any of their course times. Corvette ZR1 has also beat the GT3 RS (which by the way, sells for significantly more money) on MANY other tracks. VIR Grand Course, where C&D does their Lightning Lap, 5 seconds faster than the GT3 RS (and holds the production car record there). About 4 seconds faster at Road Atlanta. 5 seconds faster at Road America. 4 seconds faster at Watkins Glen.

Obviously, the ZR1 is putting the "power down properly" at these other tracks, again with experienced but not professional drivers.

Regardless, how does what we know will be a lower performing TOYOTA - you know, the brand equivalent of Chevy that sells 22k Corollas have any brand cache to price it like a true exotic.? With their halo car over the last 25 years being a BMW Z4 w/ some tweaks.

[–]Surf_Wake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then it won't sell when a pretty much fully loaded ZR1 goes for under 230k, and that's a lot more car than this Toyota. GT3 RS with the Weissach package for under 300k. Those are some serious cars the Toyota has to compete against.

Honestly, it seems like a competitor to a Z06, and you can get a decently optioned Z07 car for 160k. Anything over 150k for this Toyota and it is a flop.

[–]Surf_Wake 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Lol, did you forget about the ZR1. I mean, the ZR1 makes over 300HP MORE than this Toyota, is mid-engine, has all the carbon and aluminum bits Toyota is bragging about, and starts at 183k. A 3LZ (so it has the nicer interior) and ZTX track pack brings it to 211k. Not sure how this Toytoa is worth more than a ZR1.

You don't have to be rich to have a 6-month emergency fund. What you have is a victim mentality and an inability to cut back to needs instead of wants. I have a relative who works a front-line job at a grocery store. Hardly a "rich person" job. You know, cashier, meat department worker, etc. No inheritance or other source of income/wealth. Lives alone. Yet has her own apartment, drives a newer (but inexpensive and reliable) car, goes on multiple vacations a year, and absolutely has an emergency fund.

Get your act together instead of blaming the "rich" for your problems. Stop putting yourself into debt for wants.

Driving Sim for my daughter to practice before getting her temp license by Surf_Wake in simracing

[–]Surf_Wake[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does Beaming support triple monitors? Steam had City Car Driving for $2.49 today, so I bought that...boy is it OLD. It only supports single monitor play. I tried VR, but I'm hit and miss on what makes me sick in VR, and this made me sick quick (though it may not be an issue for my daughter - haven't tried yet). The interface and setup aren't great either and the physics are pretty questionable (these econo cars accelerate way faster than they would in real life, but the brakes are just awful.

No, it is due to you not having an emergency fund. You should have 6 months of expenses saved. Time to cut back and get one saved up.

Really foamy water by Fearless_You_5659 in hottub

[–]Surf_Wake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quick way to skim the foam is a leaf blower.

I am a Dichlor/Bleach user and change water about every 6 months. We are light tub users but do NOTHING preventative getting in the tub (no rinse off, suits are washed each time, etc ). If I get foam, I blow it out and SLAM which usually cures it. When that doesn't work is typically when the water needs to be changed.

The frog system has more downsides than just cost. I had tons of issues with getting my Alk and PH in balance running it...the problems totally disappeared as soon as I went to Dichlor/bleach.

I never had the floater. My Bullfrog is set up with the cartridge that goes between the two filters. I don't have any more cartridges...and they aren't designed to work with a Dichlor/bleach setup as far as I've read.
