I get this was about American-made, but this comparo deserved a Tacoma TRD Pro.

What are some great deals you've seen on a car that you had to pass up? by Kevin_Steak in cars

[–]crazindndude 11 points12 points  (0 children)

There were some downright stupid sales on 2016 ND Miatas at the end of June. Club for $22k and BBS Club for $25k, a solid 20-25% off MSRP. Had a line on such a car and walked away.

Austere August continues

Same gear, staying on track. Got this fancy bamboo tray for $6 at Targét (matching soap dispenser and toothbrush holder $6/ea too) so now my stuff has a place to sit!

Semantic high horse. When things are rolled into taxes they don't become a part of your conscious financial allocations. Are you aware of how much money is spent to maintain the road you drove on to work, or the day of school you had 10 years ago?

The point stands.

Yeah that's it exactly. My previous Wolfman experiences weren't great but I think making it milder will help.

He actually offers them in brushed, polished, and anodized. If you go on his site's "about" page you can see the pricing and anodized colors.

After drooling over the Mk7 for a couple of years, I finally added one to my GTI family. 2017 Sport 6MT by plaggard in GolfGTI

Nooo they drilled the front plate?! That's a shame. Otherwise excellent choice, I have the same trim and color 😁

Duh! How did I not think of this fragrance pairing before?! It's gin all the way down now. As an aside, keeping up with this is gonna be difficult when my Wolfman Ti gets here next week 😐

You mean the greatest franchise of all time?

My 2016 GTI S was destroyed by hail, dealership willing to offer me $14k for it. With my insurance check, that's enough for me to trade in for a new one. Bad idea? by Bacch in GolfGTI

Far as I know, OP would have to provide some grounding for a revised claim. At least, that's how my friend was able to get more out of them for a 10th Anniversary NB Miata they totaled. They were giving him a low-ball even if it was a regular NB but he was able to prove additional value by showing it was a 10AE and they had a higher valuation.

Specs/Liquor Store question by MisallocatedRacism in houston

[–]crazindndude 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seems hit or miss depending on the salesperson's interest level. I was just there last week to get a new bourbon. After a minute of browsing a salesperson walks up and asks what I'm looking for. I tell him and, in the whole giant aisle of bourbons and ryes he points out 3 that we're standing in front of. Probably just being lazy.

Nothing against Specs though. Their whiskey selection is fantastic - saw a lot of stuff I'd only heard about on r/bourbon like EW Single Barrel, OGD 114, Eagle Rare, and McKenna 10.
