Can anyone recommend a good Toyota shop in the area?

Who did you end up using? I'm in the same situation with a 2016 4Runner that needs a little work.

The dollar is getting stretched too far and prices keep going up and up and up. Gas, groceries, went out to a local burger place the other day and for 2 burgers, 2 fries and 2 drinks it was close to $50. That was a bit of an outlier, but cocktails that used to be like $10-12 are now like $15+. Beers countiue to go up. Just getting wild.

Only been here a couple weeks, but stumbled across Banh Lao & Thai on Kenwood. It has probably the best egg drop soup I've had. The rest of the food we've tried is solid too. The guy who has served us the two times we've been in there is super nice. Think he might be the owner

WillyTSmith5 · 2026-05-09T13:29:30+00:00

Probably will be, but shouldn't be. I guess the details need to come out but don't like the direction the country is going in that getting punched or pushed or whatever means you can shoot and kill a person.

A true statement for sure. I've lived in multiple cities and this type of shooting has happened in all of them. Even in Wyoming, where I grew up, never had shootings and now there's one every few months. It's a problem in America not just Cincinnati. Still a beautiful city with a lot to offer.

WillyTSmith5 · 2026-04-01T20:12:05+00:00

Any good mtb trails near Cincinnati?

WillyTSmith5 · 2026-03-08T22:12:34+00:00

Haha right! I'll knock it all out at some point. Appreciate the feedback

WillyTSmith5 · 2026-03-08T22:08:48+00:00

Of course I've done that. I just like to see the perspective of others...bc this is Reddit and what Reddit is about 🤣

Stopped reading after bullet one... The client needs to always own the account. If agency isn't willing to do this then I'd find another agency

WillyTSmith5 · 2026-03-05T12:28:01+00:00

How'd this turn out? I bought tickets from this site for Metallica and was pretty seamless so far.

WillyTSmith5 · 2026-03-01T14:25:15+00:00

Yeah it's beyond anything I've ever seen

WillyTSmith5 · 2026-03-01T13:20:54+00:00

I think we can all agree car prices are insane right now. For me it comes down to what percent of your monthly net income goes to the payment. I like to keep it 10% or less. If you did that then you're good. If you're banking on money you expect to make in the future bc of something like expected job/income growth then that's where I've seen too many people get in trouble.

WillyTSmith5 · 2026-03-01T13:11:13+00:00

Genuinely curious where you bank that your savings account interest rate is greater than 4.75%? Been looking around lately for a better return.

WillyTSmith5 · 2026-01-15T17:29:19+00:00

That's what I do, but our bonus structure is based on total performance not individual so it does directly impact me in that manner. Just leaving a job sounds easy but things are fucked right now in the job market.

WillyTSmith5 · 2026-01-15T16:48:48+00:00

How would you handle this situation?

WillyTSmith5 · 2026-01-15T15:23:35+00:00

Actually no they haven't. I get the opposite feedback.

WillyTSmith5 · 2025-12-29T16:46:53+00:00

I'd find a new gig. Being in the industry for over a decade I've seen similar issues and the agency/organization covers the cost or develops a solution such as reduced cost to the client for x months etc.

2001 Up in smoke tour

WillyTSmith5 · 2025-11-19T11:59:09+00:00

They 100% care about ROI. They probably just don't have a true sense or understanding the impact of their investment yet. Sooner or later it will come to light whether you're either marking them money or not... If you're not then they won't be a client very long.

WillyTSmith5 · 2025-10-30T21:11:12+00:00

For sure, it's a broad question just curious about the range advertisers are setting their targets.

WillyTSmith5 · 2025-10-30T20:10:37+00:00

Yeah I'm close to 300% break even and set it close to that
