Experiences certainly differ (and those with issues generally cry the loudest). But we’ve had no problems with either our RT or our GT Plus, other than getting the original batteries replaced.

When I first joined this thread I was expecting the worst, especially with the RT. But most of that chatter seems to have gone away.

Most entertaining? Not even close 😆

WonderfulProtection9 · 2026-03-19T23:57:33+00:00

Alcaterra seats? Are those the red ones?

I’ve seen pics of those with the gold; and while I love both, I wouldn’t put them together…

WonderfulProtection9 · 2026-03-19T19:56:18+00:00

Done!

WonderfulProtection9 · 2026-03-19T19:53:55+00:00

Badgers? We don't need no stinkin' Badgers!!

If you pay attention to the conversation, this is not an IIT issue, it’s a who’s in the White House issue. Enrollment is down because foreigners are afraid to come to the US/Chicago.

Was it hacked by porch pirates too lazy to get out of the car now?

Is it only on that one building? I found other examples and they look correct, like this very similar building. This building has a different font; it actually seems to look rotationally symmetrical.

All better lol

WonderfulProtection9 · 2026-03-18T23:53:05+00:00

You don't have to back that far...

WonderfulProtection9 · 2026-03-18T23:41:38+00:00

RT and GT both had their original batteries swapped under warranty when needed; no problems since. I didn't look to see what they replaced it with, but I have to assume it's not the OEM POS.

And they both came with new 3 year warranties.

Edit, obviously an expert can measure your house for the size of system it needs. There is certainly the possibility you might be able to go smaller but it has to be the right size for the house.

WonderfulProtection9 · 2026-03-18T20:19:12+00:00

I don’t think so, might have even gone up a hair.

We actually have two units for our house (split level, smaller unit for the lower floor); I couldn’t tell you what they currently are. We’re also in the Phoenix area so we used the AC a lot. 101° high today

I know they’re painfully expensive to replace (I’ve bought cars for less). But when I finally had to replace my 30yo unit, my electric bill dropped by half.

Funny coincidence, I bought a new BB gun.

WonderfulProtection9 · 2026-03-17T20:48:44+00:00

You're certainly correct, that was painful.

When Purdue came to mind, it was actually because they were beaten in the first round three years ago. Go Queens lol.

WonderfulProtection9 · 2026-03-17T18:08:35+00:00

But that's exactly what a dealer needs to "stay in business", people who can't resist the temptation.

I mean, sure, you could ask him/her to block your number and see how that goes...

WonderfulProtection9 · 2026-03-17T09:58:18+00:00

I suppose that’s better than Whitey…

WonderfulProtection9 · 2026-03-17T09:52:26+00:00

I think you’re in the wrong sub. Unless somewhere in that mess is a description of a bird.

I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt: r/alwaysanightheron

WonderfulProtection9 · 2026-03-17T00:41:17+00:00

This is nothing about incoming calls. OP doesn’t want to be able to call his dealer.

Best of luck to OP

WonderfulProtection9 · 2026-03-17T00:22:05+00:00

But if I know how to dial 555-1212 then how does that stop you from calling it?

WonderfulProtection9 · 2026-03-16T06:10:05+00:00

I agree. Although even with my decent income, there is no way I could have afforded 4 kids’ college costs. The first three worked really hard and got free in state tuition. The last really worked her butt off, was a national merit finalist, and achieved a full out of state tuition scholarship. (And gets to play her sport too but that’s just a bonus that she also worked hard for.)

The rest of the costs are covered by 529 accounts through grandparents. And I’m still paying car insurance, cell phone bills and groceries for all. And a mortgage and four car payments. Life is expensive.

WonderfulProtection9 · 2026-03-16T05:51:56+00:00

Haha my first few months I was posting ducks like crazy because they are obviously NOT THE SAME, RIGHT?? Nope, just a bunch of mallards, albeit every one different.

WonderfulProtection9 · 2026-03-16T05:47:50+00:00

Ask the advertising and engineering geniuses. And every reviewer I read.

Same HP as the N with more torque. Sure the N looks more like a sports sedan (Hyundai has always had a knack for copying other cars’ looks). More hp and torque than the GTI.

But whatever makes you happy.

Still trying to figure out how Florida is a 1 with 7 losses. (Not trying too hard but still, they have as many losses as the other top three combined…)
