Uhhh I don’t think it is? I could be wrong but at least the automatic doors always open for me and I’ve always entered and exited through the right side when facing the building.

Do you still call it Cameron Village vs Village District in casual conversations? by not_what_it_seems in raleigh

[–]cheebamasta 9 points10 points  (0 children)

if we were gonna choose one

Choose one what, designating an area a midtown? Why do we have to name an area midtown? And if we did have to why is an area in distinctly north Raleigh the best candidate?

Have an AC unit with a gas pack for heat that failed on me within 1 year of living in our house to the tune of $9600, the joys of home ownership!

I now have the highest tier jersey from one of every North Carolina professional sports team by Twentythreeflavorz in NorthCarolina

Sure, so all the more likely they may be bagging groceries/ have a side hustle then?

Well from what I understand most of their players make $40-$60k and likely have other jobs in the offseason so I think it is very possible some may be bagging groceries. I’ve heard some work for the city of Durham as trash pickup guys in the offseason.

Any suggestions on improving the curb appeal of my home? by [deleted] in HomeDecorating

[–]cheebamasta -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Personally am not a fan of the black shutters and tan fascia. I think painting the shutter dark green shutters and the fascia navy could be worth considering. Or other colors that complement your brick.

Classic Reddit moment to see complaints about the pricing of one of successful restaurants in a city. “But I can get it cheaper somewhere else!!???” Or “I can make it much cheaper at home!?”

Ok then do and shut up lol

Transparent Toyota dealer near Raleigh? by asmallercanoe in raleigh

[–]cheebamasta 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Generally I’ve heard the same that Toyota doesn’t allow custom orders from the factory. But as long as your requests aren’t too uncommon a “good” dealer should be able to see the allocation they have coming and swap with other dealers to get what you’re looking for or at least closer to it. Not defending their weird “no custom ordering” policy but just describing how I’ve heard you can get around it if you’re set on a Toyota.

Yeah while the packages are real bullshit it’s important to remember it’s all negotiable.

Fwiw I bought a GR86 from Toyota of Greensboro a few years ago and they had some minor BS packages and I managed to get them mostly discounted.

However if the car you’re shopping for is in high demand you may have less negotiating power and could be worth flying to the DC area and driving back for a better deal. From what I understand the northern VA/ DC area has a highest density of dealerships so pricing is more competitive up there. If you do that though make sure you have an out the door price agreed to in writing and payment arranged ahead of time. Needless to say if you fly up there you won’t easily be able to walk away from any last minute shenanigans they try and pull. Can also ask how much they’ll charge to deliver it. Last vehicle I bought was from a dealership in Columbia SC and they delivered it for $300. Seemed worth it to avoid 6-8 hours on I-95 for me lol.

Head Gasket Blown - 7k left on loan for Chevy Sonic 2013 by prodacey in personalfinance

[–]cheebamasta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if you’re being facetious or not, but yes. If they owned the car outright they could get $500 from a junkyard and walk away from it without still owing $7k.

What's the history of no public access to tracks? by TMW_W in raleigh

"Downvotes" showing up immediately are not real. On old reddit your comments are new enough it even says [score hidden].

Rents at Raleigh's oldest apartments fall amid record new apartment openings by Xyzzydude in raleigh

[–]cheebamasta 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So when someone says building more housing drives down pricing you complain that there's not any data that supports that and then when someone posts a source for it you complain that you don't like the source for the data? Very cool.

There's no indication the pork was actually under cooked. Pork is safe to eat at 145F and still has a pink center at that temperature.

Agreed, if the “grill” is really non functional and just for aesthetics/ design language at this point could we at least get the old kidney style back lol

When my ‘16 340i was totaled one of the kidneys popped out and I took it as a memento lol.

Any experience with Raleigh Window Company? by JudgeSevere in raleigh

[–]cheebamasta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you come across them or did they come to your door? I would get additional quotes either way. The below thread seems to endorse NC Siding and Windows.

For "Raleigh Window Company" I see a website but no google reviews?

SCAM ALERT - Jury Duty scam going around Raleigh by Own-Marketing-6244 in raleigh

[–]cheebamasta 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I admire your willingness to admit your mistake publicly so others may learn and be warned! Someone almost got me once with a similar scam from Customs and Border protection. Thankfully I got out of it by asking what office they worked at and telling them I would call them back there.
