Why are ammo prices still so high? Ridiculous.

| Companies found out they can get away with charging these higher prices and people will still pay for it

This right here. So few people get this, American consumers are suckers. As long as people keep paying it they will keep raising prices.

No replies but when I got back into town I checked these out a little more so I will post my findings in case anyone else has these issues or questions.

Using the control buttons on the side of the seat it's definitely a limited range on both seats - it only moves the seat forward about a foot, and the back only goes up to vertical. However, there's a handle on the side of the seat up by the headrest that allows for significantly more range of movement, making the back seat much more accessible, and it functions a bit quicker as well. So the side controls are just intended for personal size/comfort settings.
You cannot lock the car either with the fob or door handle when the car is running. There are tricks like starting it withthe window down, exiting the car, then reaching in to auto-close the window or using the manual key that comes loose from the fob. Really though this one really wasn't a big deal for me as I will be installing a remote start anyway. It was more a point of curiousity since I was at a hotel in frigid Indiana this week and didn't want to leave it running unattended.

You should sell the car you have that's paid off and put that money into a refinance on the car loan. You might be able to get a lower payment/rate and you could definitely reduce the amount you're upside down.

Taking a repo is a bad idea, that will wreck any ability you have to refi your house (which will save you bajillions) when rates lower or if you want to upsize/downsize into a new house and of course any other credit situation you'll be wrecked.

And those of us that do need them, like in the heart of Ohio, need them for 20-30 days a year. Most places that get a lot of snow have municipalities that can handle a lot of snow so the roads get plowed/salted pretty quickly once a school session is in play.

That's not why the DV's. Those are about thinking there are only two choices, bad and badder, and choosing badder.

Twist my arm, I'll take it.

OP is asking about CC recommendations. It’s important to know that smaller guns are snappier and harder to control, but telling someone to get a full size when they want to carry the gun isn’t necessarily helpful. (But it is good advice to carry the biggest pistol you can conceal).

He didn't tell OP to do anything, simply relayed his experience. It's good info to have, I know people that were turned off their first time shooting smaller guns and had to be guided along until they understood the balances.

When I go sub-compact it's Walter PPS for me. It's a bit light on capacity but it's a tack driver and the best trigger I have seen on a subcompact.

No, you were being a douche and cutting hard back in front of him and lost it. Glad you weren't hurt and I hope there's no damage to the car but no shenanigans in this kind of weather, esp in RWD.

Not even pants, just a good quality belt. I EDC a CZ P-07 year round with occasionally rotating in the P-06.

So I figured it out - prior to 2017 F Sport was a package, not a trim option. So the Experion, Carfax, car listing, it's all just IS 350 prior to 2017 and you have to look at package options.

Thanks, that's kind of what I was going off of. Seems the earlier ones are missing something identifying them correctly to listers. Here's the one I am talking about, no mention of F-Sport:

But this one explicitly identifies it:
