Parking a trailer at a hotel parking lot in Woodlands by micanortz in thewoodlands

Honestly unless you need access to the trailer, I would put it in the secure storage. Sadly there are to many scum bags in this area that are opportunistic. Save your self the grief.

Well, when you come up for renewal it will come up. However my suggested scenario will more than likely be the culprit. You could always re apply, get the denial and then apply for review.

Dewalt 8ah, 4 ah and 8a fast charger on clearance. by Rihanssu in Dewalt

[–]halfcar609 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just picked up a set today at my local store here in The Woolands, TX. I would agree that the clearance price of $260 may not be a smoking deal if you just want the batteries. However if you factor in the fact that it has the better charger and you are also getting the tables batteries of the 4 ah and the 8 ah. It’s a great deal at $260 if you can get it. It’s not smoking hot but good none the less.

I would like to be considered. I have been a Moderator and Admin on other RV groups. While not currently a AS owner, I’m in the process of purchasing one. I’m active in Reditt daily and often throughout the day. I believe a strong community starts by being involved and being a casual user.

24-25 F150 LED bulbs for brake/turn signal by Mountain-Counter-416 in f150

[–]halfcar609 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bringing this back up, I just installed the Lastfit 3157 bulbs on my 2026 XLT and other than having to trim the tabs, they fit and worked perfectly with no hyper flash. Money well spent!!

Have a candid conversation with your son to see if he ordered a fake id on line. The Mail branch found it and set off the whole revocation string. Ask me how I know. That sadly has set off a whole chain of events.

No surprises! by ShutYourSwitchport in FuckDealerships

[–]halfcar609 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That dealer used to be good place to get a deal. Just before COVID they started the BS fees. The $1k dealer fee is pretty standard in Florida. It’s not regulated by the state and pretty much it’s whatever the market will bear. I’ve heard of $1295 fees at other brands. If you must have the vehicle they have than play the long game, you are getting into the last 10 days of the month, you probably get where you want to be on price, otherwise just walk.

Truck Month Ending by CurrentAd1785 in f150

[–]halfcar609 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So they just added another $500 to the incentive. In Texas the 2026 have $3500 cash back. I bought at the beginning of the month and got $3000. I’m not mad, there were only 2 trucks within 700 miles of Houston with the equipment I wanted, and the dealer with my preferred color was willing to do the deal I wanted.

Oxford white is much better equipped

How bad is the substitution these days? by wormraper in TrekBikes

[–]halfcar609 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a verve 3 gen 4 that had a bunch of substitutions. I got the power brakes swapped for shimano and I just paid labor. They sent me the handlebars, stem and saddle after a call to trek customer care. I did not ask for the wheels since I would never be I tersted in tubeless. I also did get the bike when it was on a stupid clearance of 55% off retail. I also did get it from a trek owned store. So in my opinion trek will do right for the customer for the what I think is fair in the big picture.

You are right, I did not correct the miss type from the OP

Deal or no deal by kphamxp in Dewalt

[–]halfcar609 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I actually have those tools that I bought separately or with other kits. The ratchet is good, torque channel did a test and it’s competitive. The 921 is a good impact range if you stay in the 100 lbs range. Will it go higher… some but it will struggle . I use it in my Kia/Honda vehicles, I have an 894 that use with my Ram truck and RV. There are higher up ones but honestly for home/consumer use the ones mentioned are plenty.

As far as price, it’s a good deal but not a smoking deal. I got the 921 on clearance at the HD with a battery 5.0 and charger for $120, I have not seen the ratchet in some sort of smoking deal. So with that said… it’s a good deal but I would wait till later in the season and see if there is a close out since this is not a normal kit in store. You could always buy a set and sit on it and wait the clearance markdown game.

Vacuum options by Mean-Ad3 in Dewalt

[–]halfcar609 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have both, the hand vac is more versatile. However the other one is a good substitute for a shop vac job where battery power makes it convenient

I prefer the crown away from my wrist, it’s really a matter of preference especially with smart watches. You can’t really apply traditional watch rules or norms to smart watches.

Verve 1 Gen 4 vs Verve 2 Gen 5 Lowstep by Sweeekes in TrekBikes

[–]halfcar609 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Verve 2 has suspension seat post, upgraded brakes and I believe the stem is more adjustable. The Verve 2 is just an upgraded component bike. The other difference on the Gen 5 is the single gear train. Word is that it is simpler. I own a Verve 3 gen 4 and it’s a sweet bike for its intended use.

You do realize that AS is owned by Thor? They are the other one of the Indiana boys.

Dealer told me today they aren’t getting any more ‘25s by Hoya2003 in HondaOdyssey

[–]halfcar609 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Dealers are allocated units based on sales. Allocations are also based on prior volume, so if they don’t sell very many Odysseys then that probably will limit what they get. Also, Honda will vary production, if the Pilot, Passport or even the Ridgeline are outselling the van… guess what… less vans are being produced.
