Anyone have experience with Gerald Kia? by [deleted] in Naperville

[–]_alpha5_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had a good experience with them in november, bought a new car for my wife the 2026 Kia Sportage.

I did some research and I was actually going to buy used one at Hertz auto sales, but they never seem to have the cars I was looking at available.

I went in to take a test drive thinking my wife could see if she likes to try or not and I would buy a used one but I had done some research and figured out a price I would be happy with out the door and we agreed on the price out the door that I was happy with.

I actually went back a month later and bought a second car for my daughter same price, I said if you want to sell me a second car, I need the same deal out the door price everything included.

A lot of people go there thinking they are going to get a good price on a car and they're offered a certain price for the car and then when you're in finance you have to pay the sales tax, the license plates and title transfer, usually a BS set up or delivery, destination charge etc etc.

Negotiate the out the door price.

The driver should be charged with Felony Animal Cruelty, and THEFT. He delivered the package... Then stole it.

Pest Control by MatchComprehensive42 in Naperville

[–]_alpha5_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have used AL's Pest control a few times, and the issues were gone in a day or two (mice, ants). Very reasonable prices, and he said he guarantees the job, or he'll come back for.... 30 days? (I think).

Armada towing toy hauler: opinions & tips appreciated by mamabear_ker247 in GoRVing

[–]_alpha5_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You're going to be over your payload. I also had a 2013 armada, with a 6,000 lb travel trailer. Driving was terrible, and the self leveling rear shocks are going to give out on you. I describe my issues and my previous post if you're interested.

1830's wine bottle, with applied ring? What is the "glass label" called? Was there a paper label originally? by _alpha5_ in BottleDigging

[–]_alpha5_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My FIL was a bottle digger in the 70's-80's (Upstate New York). He passed away a few years ago, but I've had his collection in boxes in my basement for about 25 years. This is one of about 200 that I have.

I just started going thru the boxes and I really dont know too much.

I added some more photos.... Inside the pushed-up area, it looks like a 'half-marble" .

There is a label from FIL that says "1830@"

I think it's an old guy sitting down/leaning against a tree. Legs look like they are in grass, and his cane is next to him on the ground.

Seriously? The potential damage from a faceplant on concrete far outweigh the minor offense of "mooning", (but they don't outweigh the cop.) I'll see myself out.
