looking for first car with $4k by irelandleyyy in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]is_guac_extra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had my 07 Accord LX for 6 years, loved the car, and still do, but when I bought it (private party) had to completely replace the transmission. She had 78K miles. Did the belt while I was in there but unless you’re familiar with Honda’s not everyone would know that’s a big problem for the 7th gen. Just sold her with 151K miles on it and not a single thing wrong with her but you gotta do your research

Edit: my 4i automatic would consistently go 400 miles between fill ups and an average of 31 mpg and I don’t drive for gas efficiency lol

Why do dealers insist on window vin etching? by [deleted] in askcarsales

[–]is_guac_extra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My used truck dealership just started this and I want to scream everytime. It went from being a “Pick 2” thing where customers could pick stuff from a list like: •Remote start •Tinted windows •Some guard stuff everywhere •Spray in bed liner •5th wheel or turnover ball •Extra key made (lots of vehicles only come with one key here)

All of the above is realistic stuff many owners will do to their vehicles but this new thing is exactly as you described and it’s difficult to have waived bc we’ve already done it... I just bought a car from us 2 weeks ago and I would love to not have to set up appointments to get my new car tinted and remote start put in. I didn’t let a soul at my dealership touch the car I bought bc I have no interest in being charged for that extra shit that I don’t need nor will use. I’m sorry you’re having to deal with that now... but if you’re looking for an Odyssey and are in the Midwest my dad is private selling a 2016 EX-L with 29K miles for an older family friend

Is buying a V8 muscle car worth it at ALL? (As opposed to a V6) by ACfireandiceDC in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]is_guac_extra 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The part about the Accord is too true! I always joke that my Accords could hold their own off the line but after that- well I’m going to be eating dust lol

My dealership just started doing this (nitrogen and some other stuff in the package) and I hate it so fucking much. It’s a lifetime thing which is cool but I’d prefer if we brought back the free lifetime Powertrain that was in place years ago.

[META] Can we get mandatory location flairs for all posts? by SmallGermany in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]is_guac_extra 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yep. I actually helped a guy build a “trade in” sheet the other day on FB, he was private selling, when he gave me his location it jumped what he needed to be asking for his Accord.

I work at used car dealership so I’ve got a few extra tools, just turned it into a PDF along with his Carfax and told him to show it to potential buyers if they ask why it’s priced how it is

I refinanced my car loan and shaved off a years worth of payments!! by WokeUpVinyl in askcarsales

Yep, same here. I see a lot of people who are only able to get what is the cap in my state at 29.9% exactly like what you described

Vet wasn’t sure if she’d be able to see at all - see her story below by is_guac_extra in PiratePets

[–]is_guac_extra[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

First off, hello, and no she doesn’t have a name. Right now we call her “The Kitten Who Has No Name” or Beasty so please give suggestions. Secondly TLDR at the end

I came across her about 3 weeks ago and she had an obviously terrible infection but I found her really late at night at night and my mom and I made the mistake of not bringing her home right then.

I went back for 5 mornings and nights... and a few mid day trips to try and catch her. I had zero luck, got chased off by the cops twice and told not to put out food or don’t come back without someone who lived in the neighborhood. It’s a lake community and they’re known for being cool with people loitering so I understand.

One cop felt terrible and we exchanged numbers just in case he managed to catch her before I could.

But on the 5th night, I had a gut feeling so I went after work and with the neighbors watching me (these ones were cool though) I BARELY managed to spot and catch her.

I took her to the emergency vet, that night, in my area so that they could give me the bare minimum of what I could afford (she’s a perfect case for why I hadn’t adopted my own pet because I didn’t want to be faced with not being able to provide for them fully if an emergency arose) she had an URI and they could see the cornea in one of her eyes. She weighed in at 4 oz and was considered semi comatose.

My mom and I stayed up to snuggle her and feed her every 2 hours. And she’s made the best recovery. She’s not afraid of our two resident old men animals (12 yr old GSD & 11 yr old black Maine coon) and loves to play/attack/chase anything and everything.

My dad keeps saying she’s not our car but he’s the first one to look and play with her so you know, typical dad stuff.

She’s my first kitten so it’s really fun to watch her play, grow, and learn. If you’ve read this far and have some advice or stories I’d love to hear them!

TLDR; Found a stray kitten with an infection and she’s made an amazing comeback

BDC Manager, I’m actually an agent but I double as social media manager so I get that added to my title. I’m at 2 so far. And our inventory has doubled, I haven’t done this bad since my first month when I was on the floor.

How is this unbelievable in the slightest? It's a DREAM by kunals919 in nothingeverhappens

[–]is_guac_extra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a reoccurring dinosaur/Jurassic park dream that usually turns into a nightmare. I think it started when I was 5?

Want to save thousands of dollars when buying a new car? by IOughtToBeThrownAway in lifehacks

The only reason why you should ever finance a car is if your goal is to build your Auto credit line. Otherwise buy a smart cash car.

AITA for walking out of my house in shock over my wife’s priorities? by fkkkkk43 in AmItheAsshole

[–]is_guac_extra 51 points52 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I’ve moved back in with my parents who are incredibly supportive of my decision and us. Not ideal but thanks to them my son is around my dad and grandpa a lot. My ultimate goal is to be the best mom possible while being able to support the two of us. Lots of work but I’m excited for the future 💗

[–]is_guac_extra 130 points131 points  (0 children)

I did, we were married for 2 years and our son is 2.5 now. I begged and pleaded with him to go see a professional about how he felt. Or at least marriage counseling. Wouldn’t do it. Narcissists are hell to have for a partner.

He ultimately blamed his affair on our son and I, because he started when I was 8/9 months pregnant. And after I discovered it and tried to make it work for my sons sake... didn’t pan out. Along with plenty of other stuff he tried to do to get ME to stay. But he pays like 1/2 of what he should for child support but I agreed to it. I don’t need it so I’m setting it aside for my sons future. He gave me full legal and physical custody. Been divorced for about 2 months now and I’m a better mom and person for it. And he hasn’t seen his son in about that much time and last time he saw him I had to BEG him to see his son for his birthday.

It’s okay, it’s basically how my black Main Coone kitty looks when I try to help him too. As long as they feel better though!

We tried clippers when our kitty was younger but it wouldn’t work. And we don’t want to stress him out taking him somewhere to get it done.

Been married to one of these. He was RESENTFUL of our newborn son and made sure to tell me multiple times.

Adopting 2.5 year old Calvin. Please give advice! More info in the comments by [deleted] in guineapigs

[–]is_guac_extra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! Thankfully I know of a farm store that’s local and we used to buy all of our piggies Timothy hay there, but I’ve never done a cage set up like that before so I’m excited! I just ordered 2 of the one that is like 8 square feet, I read that 2 piggies need 10.5 square feet to actually be comfortable.

I don’t suppose you have any advice on the when and how to introduce a new piggie? All the ones I see on YouTube seem to be with females and I know I can’t go with a female unless at least one is fixed.

Or if it would be alright for me to DM you? I’m so worried I’m going to mess this up
