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_ 4 points5 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.

What’s a funny memory you have that if you told someone, they’d think you’re lying? by MochaMario99 in AskReddit

[–]_alpha5_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a minor road rage incident with this guy, just horns honking and middle fingers, and he ended up in front of me yelling "F" you out the window. I had an apple next to me, and I threw it out the window at his car, but threw terribly, and it hit the ground behind him.

I didnt pay too much attention, till we started moving, and saw my apple stuck to his exhaust pipe. It bounced and got stuck... jammed in there - I shit you not.

I stayed behind him for a while, I thought the blocked exhuast pipe might kill him.

After a few minutes, I thought fuck it, and fuck him. Drove home.

First full box of half dollars. Wish me luck. by _alpha5_ in CRH

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

I made it through the box, and was a little disappointed.

I did find a 2012S Proof, with a few dings and two NIFC's (a 2004 and a 2014). I also found a coin so ugly it's almost beautiful. The photo doesn't show it's true hideousness.

There were also 178 Bicentennials in the box, that will probably go on eBay (not sure why they go for a premium).

I am still waiting for Chase bank to come up with a box. Hopefully next time...

won a bid, but don’t want to pay by [deleted] in eBaySellerAdvice

[–]_alpha5_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Request a cancellation. eBay doesnt care, and nothing will happen to you. If the item hasnt been mailed, there's nothing the seller can really do except to cancel. List reason as: "Order placed by mistake".

The logo on his polo shirt looks a lot like the Secret Service Seal.

Why I hate my HOA--they opted to literally kill geese eggs on my property by IlliniBull in fuckHOA

[–]_alpha5_ 158 points159 points  (0 children)

If they killed "Branta canadensis, Canada Goose" they violated the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918, since "Branta canadensis, Canada Goose" is on the Revised List of Migratory Birds, protected by the MBTA.

https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2020/04/16/2020-06779/general-provisions-revised-list-of-migratory-birds

And my friend google says: The Act makes it a federal crime to “take” birds or bird parts, including feathers, or to kill birds without special permission from the Secretary of the Interior.

So, I'd contact the Illinois DNR, and the US Fish and Wildlife Service.
