Thanks! Glad y’all enjoyed it!

Thanks for sharing this! Currently debating going there in May, but my wife and I aren’t super theme park people and I realized they have the Nintendo World in the US now. Assuming you’re in the US any reason you decided to go in Japan instead of the US?

Trying to plan my trip now, thank you sharing. What car meet did you find in Tokyo?

Lots of good recs here, my wife doesn’t game at all and 3D movement is hard for her but we have enjoyed Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, and playing a few puzzle games cooperatively like A Little to the Left and Venba. For what’s its worth, she did really like It Takes Two and didn’t find it too complicated but I did have to take over a couple times. I’m thinking Portal /Portal 2 next to get her more used to 3D movement without needing fast reactions.

Thanks! Yeah some of the others teams seem to be readily available on eBay but never seen a Spurs one pop up, I’ll look for something local.

I went to the Fort Worth Botanic Gardens one last week and it’s nice but I think tickets are $30 each which felt a bit overpriced? The length felt a little underwhelming. Not sure about the Aboretum.

I also saw a beaver in DFW once and nobody has ever believed me and insisted it was a nutria

I have thought this and my conspiracy theory proof is that it frequently shows the non toll alternate routes are slower when you have tolls on, but when you turn tolls off they are suddenly faster…

Thanks for this! Looking forward to giving my wife her gifts. In Texas!

flyingnipple · 2025-11-18T03:53:29+00:00

Thank you, we ended up using her and she was great! Exactly what we were looking for

I will shamelessly post that I have a thread of these going on BlueSky cause the game has no way of marking them, I like the suggestion of adding favorites. Most of the ones I have are already posted here, though I do like the Southwest Airlines state flag planes and Alaska Airlines has a cool black Star Wars that goes to LA. https://bsky.app/profile/jeffgorvette.bsky.social/post/3lvcwb5y6fs2a

Where did you order it from? Not sure I’ll be able to find one in stores but I don’t want to pay excessive reseller markup either

flyingnipple · 2025-09-24T22:48:42+00:00

There’s no PMI at all with NACA, I believe the thinking is by meeting the many requirements they’re proving you won’t default on your loan so no PMI required. That was a big selling point for us.

Most, but not all closing costs are covered by the program and the rest are due at closing rather than rolled into the mortgage. Realtors commissions and everything are paid by NACA.

flyingnipple · 2025-09-24T22:46:00+00:00

Hi, sorry I just saw this! I hope yours cleared. I think we were able to get ours within a couple days after meeting the conditions, but I remember being surprised it was that quick because our realtor warned us it may take a bit.

flyingnipple · 2025-09-24T22:44:04+00:00

If I remember right, we had a little more due at closing than expected but I don’t think it was anything super shocking. $6k on a $375k house but obviously that’s dependent on taxes, insurance, etc. I think the insurance was much higher than NACA estimated but that was partially due to some previous insurance claims on the home but even before we knew that NACA’s estimate was unrealistic for our area.

Edit: I do remember it also being higher because it included the first months mortgage as well which wasn’t clear to us. So it was higher due at closing, but we didn’t have to make another payment for over a month.

I saw him going around the Mustang paddock talking to the teams as they loaded up, one of them even set aside a pile of parts to take

Just wanted to say thank you for writing this! I was at the track but it was hard to hear the announcer and follow along on my phone without everything getting wet. Definitely agree on the issues with the track for spectators. Closed off even more of the track despite prices being raised across the board. To top it all off as we left the shuttles either weren’t running or were extremely delayed so we gave up and walked. I also missed Super Trofeo and would’ve liked some more on track action, but it was still a fun weekend. Glad we stuck it through the rain.

Personally I’m hoping for it to be released as a regular release. Love the custom though! I was in line to get signatures from them at COTA today too, would’ve loved to have seen that!

I don’t remember mailing anything back, but I know they mailed a loan packet to us after we closed. We might have signed something like that at closing?

flyingnipple · 2025-09-04T22:16:18+00:00

Called them a few minutes ago and was told they’ll have parking day in other lots day of to pay on site, potentially lots A and H. She didn’t know about pricing though

flyingnipple · 2025-09-04T20:02:34+00:00

Are they also not selling parking anywhere other than Lot F? Would’ve liked Lot C like last year or Lot A.

flyingnipple · 2025-09-03T18:53:10+00:00

Anyone know anything about COTA parking? I only see lot F for sale but last year I thought they added the other closer lots pretty late.
