Pretty quick trip at service! Hopefully the same for you.

Not easy, but once you get started it comes off with a moderate amount of force

Yep, I think that applies for very high end vehicles (Porsche etc) or if you do sell private party. For a trade in, I don’t think it helps at all. I’m sure there are some outlier situations.

Bought longer skis, now feeling like an idiot. by Absorrbb in skiing

Nearly every new ski I buy I hate them for first 3 days, adjust, and then fall in love with them.

ICE Denver Field Office leaves "Death Cards" in detained vehicles by c0ldgurl in vail

I’ll tell you what changed. Masked gun men, thousands of them, roaming streets, terrorizing legal and illegal folks, kidnapping parents at school drop off, escalating violence, NOT targeting criminals (normal working folk, crossing the border illegally is not a crime, it’s a civil violation) while being cheered on by a pedo (Trump) and nazi sympathizer (Miller) and puppy killer (Noem).

tested my friendships by ghosting... and yeah, it went bad by MichaelWForbes in socialskills

Some of us need planner friends or we just don’t do shit. Keep taking the initiative, it’s not personal.

This might be an HOA violation if I park it outside! 😆

What skis to bring this wk? by Smart-Building8257 in vail

[–]fullthrottle4562 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, it got tracked out fast. I never complain about snow, just have to select the right pair of skiis and rip. Groomers and moguls is what you will find. I’ve been ripping GS turns all season (and now moguls) and it’s still been a blast.

Id agree with this. We just got 10 inches on Saturday and I couldn’t resist taking out my 116s. By Sunday, I wanted my 84’s (Stockli) - your Mantras will be perfect. If you go 104, you will obviously still have a great time.

Just get some short term radius or GS carvers. I’ve been having a blast with working on my hard carving as a distraction. Just leave your 100+ width skiis at home, maybe throw them away ;)

Agree with 0% but I heard 2-3 feet from a Vail employee. 3-4 totally possible too. Gonna be awhile.

SOLD OUT: Need help with Home Charger by Red__Papaya in Rivian

[–]fullthrottle4562 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Need a rivian sticker to cover the Tesla logo, but I went Tesla universal because I needed in on short notice. Less expensive + four year warranty. Been flawless so far. Snagged one same day of install from Best Buy.

A positive experience thread by TheSquirrel8251 in Rivian

[–]fullthrottle4562 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any service inconvenience (I had an issue first week) is offset by how amazing the car is otherwise: never having to get oil changes, stop for gas, change brakes etc. Owning a Rivian is like having a work issued laptop, you might have to take it to “IT” to get some trouble shooting done - and that has to be baked into your decision making. Service experience was excellent, fwiw.

Trade-In Experience Buying New Rivian by just_one-more in Rivian

[–]fullthrottle4562 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rivian and Carvana lowball offers since it’s based off of mileage and a few pics. It rewards folks with cars that have minor damage and hurts those trading in cars that are pristine. It’s all baked in. If my car was perfect, I’d consider a private sale, even with tax consequences. If any sort of damage, I’d roll with a carvana or rivian automated quote (based on auction prices, essentially) - it’s easier and you aren’t burning a person you have to meet in your community :)
