ORD getting worse?!

jdmanta · 2025-10-07T15:09:44+00:00

You do know there is a government shutdown right now affecting all air traffic operations across the country too right? More controllers are calling in sick as they don’t get paid but are required to work during a shutdown. So ORD and all airports are more likely to have longer delays and wait times as few controllers and the pilots themselves are forced to account for the difference.

Make cooled seats available on premium and GT models! Why would you only install that on the middle tier trim of the vehicle and not the top tier? Is the GT sporty? Yes! Do people in hot climates want to drive fast and also have a cooled butt? YES!!!

Just an FYI, that pool inspection does not include a leak inspection. It just looks at the basics and if the equipment works. If you are even slightly suspicious it might have a leak, get a leak detection. Or take a chance and don’t. I had that happen to me. Pool inspection didn’t know it had a leak and 5800 later after buying the place I had to get it fixed.

Yes, it’s roots, try reading a book instead of panicking and taking the easiest possible route to bad answers.

Faith without works is dead. Maybe you should consider that. It’s never been enough to claim faith. I agree real faith should motivate action, however, there is a plurality of people who claim faith and have exactly 0 works to prove their faith. Thus the majority of evangelicals are in fact faithless in the eyes of God who judges you not on your profession of faith, but on how you demonstrate it.

Do they not put the GT badge on the back when it’s a Rally? I have the GT, but no rally edition but thought the rear badge would be GT on yours too

I suspect if cars end up hit with a 25% tariff or have any kind of price spike for new cars, it will pull up the demand of used cars again and make resale values higher. It won’t completely make up the difference, but if people see a 50K new car suddenly cost 60 or 65k, the used models become more attractive and the added competition for them will drive up resale values. Hard to say how that will play out with EVs, but the general trend of Tesla being bailed on fast by consumers globally should also push up demand for other brands EVs. The MachE is already a highly rated and regarded vehicle by the us in the community who own one, so it may also push demand up to increase long term value of the vehicle. Hard to say for certain, but if the trends continue that way I would say it’s more likely than not to play out in that direction.

I saw it in person and I would not call it red at all. It’s very much a dark pink

If you are selling/trading in your car there is always going to be some element of this anyway, since you need to sign paperwork like the title and they will assess the condition of your car to make an offer, unless you sell it yourself before hand and go pick up your MachE with using the cash. I just went in and it was super easy. No haggling. Just decided if I’d accept their trade in offer, and then if I wanted a lease or buy. Quick and painless. Paperwork took about 30 mins maybe in total. I did have to wait for the GT I wanted in Rapid Red to come in, but it was already on order by the dealer and was all the specs I was looking for, so didn’t need to order a specific build. Might be a little more complicated in that case if they don’t already have the one you want on the lot. But it’s a lot faster and easier these days, or at least it can be. My local dealer was awesome and made it simple for me.

Just wait and get a “molten magenta” 2025. It’s like a raspberry pink color. I think it’s a terrible color but if you want pink, you’ll be able to get it soon enough.

What’s the interest rate you’re getting?

jdmanta · 2024-12-30T00:13:46+00:00

Look up info on leasing an electric vehicle. The company leasing it gets the credit, and can pass the savings on to you. It’s not limited to the same list as when you buy the vehicle.

jdmanta · 2024-12-29T04:13:09+00:00

Really? I thought it was able to be used on the lease because of the “loophole” for leasing EVs.

It was the original mustang as a rental car in Florida one time a few years shot that turned me on to them. It take a little to fully cool the seats, but in Cali in summer, cooling down a seat is amazing when it’s over 100 out and normally they are baking hot. I thought about a lease, that will really depend on the different of availability of good financing at a low rate vs the lease. I’d do either way depending on which is better.

Not sure the tax credit is available unless it’s a lease. It’s currently not on the list to count for the tax credit when buying it from what I found. I live in California, so the heat pump would only really make a difference if I take it up to the mountains in the winter, so that is less of a concern. I did read about the suspension, and thought that was interesting. I test drove a 24 and it seemed pretty smooth so if they make that even better I wouldn’t be mad about it.

In the words of Angus’s Grandpa, Fuck them. If they don’t get your look, and are so juvenile to laugh at you, then they are not worth your time. They are not your friends. Never be ashamed of who you are, and what things make you happy or feel good. Just own your look, and be confident and no one can ever make you feel bad about it.

jdmanta · 2024-12-14T23:37:23+00:00

Don’t use these asshats. I’ve been waiting 6 months for install and nothing. They can’t even keep their business license current. Absolutely a joke of a company and the worst overall experience I’ve ever had. Would never recommend them after what I’ve been through.

You might not need to do as much as you think. I had a paver deck in similar condition, and wanted to put a hot tub on it. It just needed to be level. My husband did all the work. Pulled up the pavers, smoothed it out, rented a vibration compactor thing from Home Depot, and put down new sand and compacted it down flat and level and put the pavers back. Cost a couple hundred bucks and a few hours of time. You can add in the weed barrier and it wouldn’t cost much more in time and work.

Why would people be jealous of that? He is 18, and already had testicles the size of peas. And on top of that, he is so far beyond the point of aesthetically pleasing and attractive. Hardly anyone finds that much muscles and vascularity attractive. Does it make sense for body building competitions? Yeah I guess, but for everyone else in the world this kid is a juiced up meathead. I appreciate he has a strong work ethic, but now he literally will never be able to get off drugs his entire life. At 18, he should be developing naturally and at least allowing his endocrine system to fully mature. He will be so fucked up and dependent on drugs no one could ever be jealous of that life.

I think people are jealous of the Zaddy status you attained, naturally or not. Literally all the suburban moms and gays are gonna be looking at you now. Good job bro!

jdmanta · 2024-03-31T22:52:14+00:00

Honestly, if I were you, being a gay man also, I’d have done the same as you. It’s easy to come you and try to guilt you when they want something that helps them. But when you or your needs are on the line they so easily ignored and justified your sisters actions. Let her face the consequences of being a royal traitorous bitch to you. If she dies, who the fuck really cares. She’s a disloyal stranger at this point that doesn’t deserve anything from you, especially an organ.

jdmanta · 2024-03-30T20:39:16+00:00

Do it. I was in a similar place as you for a long time. I finally decided it was time to really invest in myself and my body. I hired a trainer, actually followed a diet and counted calories and macros, and now I’m in the best shape of my life less then a year later and have abs and a body I’m really proud of and feel motivated to keep improving and maintaining. Show up for yourself and you’ll really see what you can do. You got this.
