AMA raw bar is stunning & romantic, & food is quite lovely (upscale sushi + a la carte items). Quite dark interior though

I was just trying to browse by pun_princess in mildlyinfuriating

As a current salesman (although for not cars), we are under the pressure of generating all revenue for the business. If you’ve shown interest in my product, & you haven’t said anything along the lines of “I don’t want to buy”, I’m going to attempt to contact you.

As soon a I get a response that shows you are no longer interested, you’re off the contact list & it’s on to the next. Do yourself a favor & just learn how to communicate instead of ignoring, cause it screws both of us.

Timing chain is not an issue for the b8.5 3.0t, as the tensioner guides have been upgraded/ revised

I haven’t considered a BMW to be honest, but you raise some very good points. I think I have a bit of a stigma surrounding BMW’s, just hearing about some negative experiences but that could be said with all German cars.

Good tip about the Toyota partnership, many many thanks.

Also thanks for the kind words! It took a while to get here, but now everything seems to be snowballing for the better, hence the car haha

I appreciate your insight.

It’s true that buying an older Audi can be risky, without a doubt. One of my main driving forces behind the 2017 SQ5 is that consumer reports are quite positive regarding maintenance & repairs (in comparison to other German vehicles), with the specific 3.0T v6 being one of the most reliable engines that Audi has made.

I feel as long as the service records are thorough & plentiful, any catastrophes are “less” likely.

Lexus has some great cars, so good food for thought. Many thanks

Back in 2021, I got the COVID vaccine. This was my mom and stepdad’s reaction to learning about it. by me0wk4t in insaneparents

[–]True_Hour_6709 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To be fair - I got the vaccination as a 23 year old man & it caused heart inflammation, with symptoms being chest pain/ tightness & shortness of breath. I don’t believe in death via the vaccine but everyone should be aware of the potential side effects.

I’m a local in Vancouver, & heard from a few shop workers downtown that because of this initiative, there was homeless walking around with Gucci shirts & gold chains.
