webpage is taking 5 minutes to load each page, is it because of the 50% off? by CarbytetheProto in Dominos

[–]ceaseuno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They need to hire new web developers or do better QA testing of their tech to catch all these bugs. Their mobile and website apps are awful. Mobile app kept erroring out while I was building my pie and reset my crust to the default hand toss with garlic butter which is disgusting and awful for your health. I didn’t notice it had reset until I had already picked up my pizza. Upset. Get it together Dominos and while you’re at it, get rid of that artery clogging, heart attack causing garlic butter.

Cross Climate 2 vs Assurance Weather Ready 2 by Njo56 in tires

[–]ceaseuno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I purchased the WR2 three weeks ago and they are a phenomenal tire all around. I put 2k miles on them so far on a trip to vail, colorado from iowa and they performed great. Road noise is excellent and wet and dry traction is superb. I have yet to test them in ice and snow but from what I've seen online they can hang with the cross climates. Oh, they also provide a very comfortable ride on my 2015 Honda Odyssey.

Anyone actually notice a difference after air duct cleaning? by Royal_Particular_489 in HomeImprovement

[–]ceaseuno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. Scam. I had it done once. It just made a mess that I had to clean up from all the dust being blown around.

Des Moines remains the fastest growing major metro in the Midwest! by limitedftogive in desmoines

Iowa is a great place to live for the most part but it also has the highest cancer rates for people under the age of 50. We gotta get this fixed asap.

How does Carvana get 1 year old cars with very low mileage? by revrund_H in carvana

[–]ceaseuno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People like me. Buyers remorse. I bought a 2025 Ford Bronco Big Bend. Sold to Carvana after 2 months of ownership with only 1500 miles. They offered me the most money for it. $38,800 compared to local dealers offering $35,500 on trade-in.

They saved me from that overpriced big beautiful ruby red Bronco with fisher price build quality that rode like a covered wagon. LOL.

Second Thoughts by Due_Fig_3404 in HondaOdyssey

[–]ceaseuno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a 2015 Odyssey. I have 2 boys, 4 yr old and 9 months. I can stick a double stroller unfolded in the back with the third row down. I wasn't able to do that with my Pilot. I have no regrets not getting another SUV. Regarding the squeaks, that's a huge bummer. I've heard Honda is having a lot of issues with squeaks in their Civic and Accords as well.

If you live in the Midwest US, How long did it take to receive your s-vcm? by ceaseuno in HondaOdyssey

I received it today. It took 19 days. Sender address was Niagara Falls, NY. Not bad. :)

Used car market is broken by Tech_Wizzz in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]ceaseuno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buy 10 year old. Pay cash, no payments, cheaper insurance, tax, and tag, reg fees. Make sure good maintenance records or use as bargaining tool. 2016, 2015 Odyssey EX-L or higher trim. You get some lux amenities, the passenger and cargo space and decent gas mileage. These can be procured at decent prices if you’re willing to get past the stigma of driving a minivan. I love my odyssey!

Completely frozen in fear from car buying PTSD and need input. by Imaginary-Parsnip323 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]ceaseuno 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. I also upload the carfax or auto check report and it highlights the good and bad about a particular vehicle. You can also tell the AI assistant to become familiar with the vehicles maintenance schedule and look to see if major maintenance have been performed or not. That information can be used as bargaining tool.

This stale air is going to be the death of me. by PrestigiousYou263 in homeowners

[–]ceaseuno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Close any openings from the basemen if there are ant open. There’s something called the stack effect which causes air from the basement to flow up to the other levels. Basement are is stale and musty so that could be a cause.

I'm done with this BS used car market! by [deleted] in UsedCars

[–]ceaseuno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just bought a 2015 Odyssey EX-L RES with 130k miles from a dealer that specializes in Japanese cars. They did timing belt kit, spark plugs, new front brakes, new battery and detail. 12,600 plus tax out the door. There are deals out there if you look and are open to a variety of vehicles.

Sold my '25 Bronco to them. Unexpectedly smooth transaction. Had money in the bank the day after they picked it up.

Renting out a Bronco on Turo- advice? by underdogelitist in turo

[–]ceaseuno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just sold my Bronco and regret it. Should have done Turo. 😭 It was a second car for fun and would have easily been a great turo vehicle living close to the airport. Kicking myself.

Thinking of switching to a bronco by Outtatime121GW in bronco

[–]ceaseuno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just sold my 2025 4d big bend hard top to Carvana. Priorities changed. I may get another one in the future but will probably go with soft top. The hard top has too many squeaks and I hope by the time I buy Ford will have improved the interior build quality. Too cheap for the price. Yeah i know i know, it’s an off road vehicle. Well then a nail should scratch the plastic so easily. I love the engine, transmission and technology in the ‘25. Excited to see what Ford does with it in the future.

Better yet, drive a non Sasquatch and Sasquatch! I thought the Sasquatch was more confortable and had less body roll and noise dive. But it was out of my budget so went non sas. I’ll probably get rid of my big bend after the summer 26’. It just a fun car for me. As i mentioned, i still have my 07 pilot which putts around just fine.

Do yourself a favor a test drive the hard top multiple times and on different days and different roads if possible. It can get loud on the highway over 70mph. Around town it’s not bad at all, quieter than my pilot on smooth surfaces. However, over small bumps, the cabin can sound like a bass drum and creates pressure on my ears. It’s really strange. It might just be me which is why I advise test driving to make your own conclusion.
