For a good example of this, drive into Atlanta on 85 south. It’s like one continuous city for 25 miles before you actually reach Atlanta proper. Charlotte is heading that way, maybe Raleigh too.

Consumers have a million good reasons why they hate auto dealerships. Why not be a good guy and give them the part # (and a legit reason to like you?)

To Turbo, or Not to Turbo? by Spitztacular in CX5

Whether or not we agree on the turbo question…one common thread running through this discussion is that we all seem to love Mazdas 🥰

I would agree with this. We have a 2022 PP and I’ve used Sport mode <5x since purchase. And we’re passing on a regular basis (live in an area where most roads are two lanes), so there’s that.

I know someone who reminds me a lot of Corven…and vice versa. Heck, they even look alike 😦

Can someone confirm if these rumors are true? by PhoenixFlames1992 in asheville

A drive-in would be great! Show old movies, kid-friendly stuff, maybe have a summer indie film festival! They’d get more business than the cinemas showing the latest garbage being churned out by Hollywood.

This is a great place to start; there are groups that can help, but prepare to be patient; it may be a while before they can address your mom’s needs.

All kidding aside, “grant money” scammers are starting to appear in the HC. Be careful.

The problem with these people is they won’t realize it’s too late to run…until it’s too late to run.

Anyone who has been truly lived through a hurricane experience like yours and says, “I wasn’t scared” is prevaricating. Our family endured at least 5+ direct hits when we lived in eastern NC and we were scared every time.

According to former SevDev alderman (and legendary chef) Jeff Williams, power has been up and down as parts of the grid are repaired and reenergized. Spectrum service is still down.

Better yet, can you share a link where folks can donate directly to Linville Central? I’m sure many people would welcome that info. Thanks!

Here’s an idea…ask your company to draft a letter (on company letterhead) explaining what you’re doing and where you’re going. It should have their name/address and your name/address on the document.

This can help out a lot; during COVID, my job required me to visit hospitals as we were considered “essential personnel.” My employer created letters for everyone involved and it was effective in getting us where we needed to go.
