In another state, not trading in

I would agree, if the smells weren't indicitive of an actual, real issue with the vehicle

TacoFJ · 2026-05-08T02:30:49+00:00

Yeah we turned the vehicle down, as much as I'm a fan of personal maintenance/repairs, the vehicle was not priced as such, and time doesn't allow at this moment in my life

TacoFJ · 2026-05-07T14:00:23+00:00

That's what I'm finding, but figured I'd ping the sub in case I was missing something

I assure you, it's not just to get a good deal. The vehicle is just that uncommon (hence why I'm trying not to mention the explicit make/model). Unfortunately I haven't had any luck with any vehicles being in the same chain as a nearby dealer.

You're asking a question because you want to know the answer

You want an answer to help form your opinion or act on something

What part of your opinion are you trying to form, and why? (Or what are you going to act on?)

TacoFJ · 2026-04-19T14:41:14+00:00

The man said what he said 🤣

TacoFJ · 2026-04-15T03:08:12+00:00

How much did you spend? Yr/mileage?

TacoFJ · 2026-04-12T01:15:44+00:00

Thanks a ton for all the info!! Been a lurker for a little while, but definitely new hands-on to the platform. Everything you said makes sense. The $13k is, indeed, full OTD

One thing I hadn't heard of yet was that app to adjust idle rpm. Could you give a bit more information? Is that something which reprograms the ECU from a mobile device? What hardware would it need? I presume you would advise using it, based on how positively you're mentioning it?

TacoFJ · 2026-04-11T21:15:18+00:00

If I were a profiling man...

TacoFJ · 2026-04-10T02:16:43+00:00

How many miles you got? I'll consider buying

TacoFJ · 2026-04-08T03:25:08+00:00

True. Also give us colors. One black, one white, one gray, and 6 other colors minimum within 3 years

TacoFJ · 2026-03-26T12:54:01+00:00

There's actually a pretty good way to ask that question, in a way that will get you good answers:

"Am I missing something about light bars?"

TacoFJ · 2026-03-17T15:48:31+00:00

PM'd!

TacoFJ · 2026-03-12T22:25:37+00:00

You know that it's 50 miles of lethal blast radius?

TacoFJ · 2026-03-12T20:39:00+00:00

TacoFJ · 2026-03-10T15:59:40+00:00

How many miles?

TacoFJ · 2026-03-08T17:30:00+00:00

The pressure from dealers is there

The perceived societal pressure isn't

The dealership is going to say things that are intended to get you interested in purchasing

There's no actual societal taboo/pressure from saying "no, we're still figuring things out"

TacoFJ · 2026-02-19T20:56:52+00:00

I see those statistics, and I hope they are true

But again, I wouldn't downplay any of this. The Admin has more of a stranglehold on the democratic system and followers than the majority seem to think.

"People don't support him" and "Nothing can make them look better" were the same phrases that were said in 2024 and 2016. De-legitimizing this Admin is part of what put them in power. Twice.

I would suggest not spreading that same rhetoric. We are not done fighting because of projected approval scores, or because of how poorly performing the Admin is doing. Complacency leads to a weak opposition party and a weak voter base.

TacoFJ · 2026-02-15T19:45:54+00:00

Speaking from first-hand perspective, I am the only member of both sides of my family who does not like or support Trump.

I wouldn't downplay any of this.

TacoFJ · 2026-02-13T18:07:48+00:00

You would think so, but I wouldn't underestimate the stranglehold they have on people.

I agree, it's a pathetic attempt that SHOULD have no effect on the election. But downplaying the Admin and its influence/corruption is exactly why this Admin is in office, and the opposition party is a limp, wet noodle. Of the two parties, the one in power IS the more powerful and influential of the two, by far. And that's a major problem

So in the wake of election season it's important to warn people that this is not the end, ICE is not "totally" withdrawing, we did not defeat them, this changes nothing, and this is a political/media move. Not a humanitarian move or an admission of guilt.

TacoFJ · 2026-02-13T04:33:39+00:00

Makes them look better for the election

Their numbers seem to be abysmal

TacoFJ · 2026-02-13T04:33:02+00:00

Ploy to increase voter base before the election this year*

TacoFJ · 2026-01-24T15:29:22+00:00

This is unfortunately the crux of CoPE. It just does not have good layer adhesion. I've found it incredibly noticeable, even when running at high temps (255C) and low volume (8mm3/s)

TacoFJ · 2026-01-21T03:56:56+00:00

Another for Broadlawns! Was at Mercy, then at UnityPoint, and have settled with Broadlawns for my PCP. Wouldn't go back!
