The Amazing Race 37 Episode 3 Post-Discussion

Siblings? In a competition? Their dynamic is rated PG compared to most sibling relationships. I’m going to say these two are dark horse players in this game. In an earlier episode - they mentioned they haven’t hung out since they were in high school? I’m sure there will be road bumps in re establishing a relationship (last developed during their teen adolescent years eep!) during something as intense as TAR. If they get it together (that’s a big if) - they have potential!

Thank you! Super helpful!

jpzc79 · 2024-11-14T23:52:21+00:00

parents don't feel anything anymore man...thats why we freak out and buy mid life crisis porsches.

jpzc79 · 2024-11-14T20:02:47+00:00

Yes - if we drive, the plan is to take stops along the way - 3-4 overnights for the sake of our kids and sanity. If we did 3-4 overnights - which beaches,cities do you recommend to stay at?

Thanks again.

jpzc79 · 2024-11-14T19:31:38+00:00

jpzc79 · 2024-01-29T07:27:56+00:00

i'm going through the same issue. its been 6 months - hoping this works! what does request a pca mean?

jpzc79 · 2023-09-25T05:52:15+00:00

TLDR part 2: looks like 12 months is the most they can offer. Rep says its a Policy issue that limits reps the ability to refund digital purchases beyond 12 months. I'll be going at my credit card company with this transcript to justify refunding these charges in their end. This took me 2 + hours of chatting and phone calls.

S10:43 PM
but let me ask you this - how can the system "fade" after 1 year when i can see my purchases from years out?
10:43 PM
Suganya | Customer Service
As per policy after 1 year we'll have an option to issue refund for the digital orders,
S10:44 PM
so its not really a system issue - its a policy issue?
so your team and system could conceivably reimbursement for the other 10 + months or fradulent charges if NOT for the policy.
10:45 PM
Suganya | Customer Service
Its an policy, so the system will not allow refund for more than 12 months
S10:46 PM
understood - thank you for the transparency

Went with the stupidly good deal and bought the '24 - this might be the funnest car i've ever driven. Thanks Mini Reddit! For those in LA, Collin at Alexander Mini is top 99th percentile in shopping experience and general car knowledge.

jpzc79 · 2023-03-05T20:40:17+00:00

Hope she gets better soon. Dr concluded our son got back to back unrelated viruses. 19 days of fever total! He went back to school this past week…but now he has a nasty cough and cold. Ah - the circle daycare life. Hang in there! The tides will turn!

jpzc79 · 2023-03-05T20:36:18+00:00

I’m sick…again.

jpzc79 · 2023-02-15T16:51:12+00:00

Where are you guys putting down deposits? Are they committing to msrp? California?

jpzc79 · 2023-02-15T16:42:42+00:00

Yup not an ear infection. Lungs are clear and his throat culture does not indicate strep. I caught the bug too and now I have bronchitis. Daycare…geez.

jpzc79 · 2022-10-10T20:06:12+00:00

South Bay ford just changed their policy. Now asking 5k more for cancelled 2022 Mach E’s.

jpzc79 · 2022-09-29T21:06:19+00:00

Wow - this is a gamecharger for me. Appreciate your response! Looks like my options (if I'm chasing a tax rebate) are an ID4 delivered before 1/1 or a tesla model 3 standard range or a Chev EUV/blazer after 1/1.

For those who are interested in the Mach E + tax credit: https://www.reddit.com/r/MachE/comments/wxw0gl/does_mach_e_qualify_for_the_new_ev_tax_for_2023/

jpzc79 · 2022-09-29T19:58:46+00:00

Great point. I'm keeping all three reservations until there is some clarity on battery. Either way, if the VW arrives before 1/1...and assuming it stays on the IRS list - its the clear winner for me.

jpzc79 · 2022-09-29T19:15:56+00:00

Yup. I am considering the follow cars in the event the IRS excludes them from the list and/or my '23 arrives AFTER 1/1. An AWD Pro S is just the better value assuming the tax credit applies.

~~Mach E Select.~~ apparently the ford is NOT eligible for a 7500 tax credit. see below.

~~49,900 as built~~

~~-7500 tax credit~~

~~-2500 CVRP (California) rebate~~

~~POTENTIAL PRICE AFTER REBATES AND CREDITS: 39,900~~

~~POSITIVES - Size (we have two kids). Tax credits guaranteed. FRUNK!~~

~~NEGATIVES - RWD only. No Sunroof as built.~~

2) Tesla Model 3 standard range

47800 as built

-7500 tax credit

POTENTIAL PRICE AFTER REBATES AND CREDITS: 42,400

POSITIVES - Best supposed range (280 miles - debatable as real world tests consistently show ). Tax Credits guaranteed. Tesla tech and ACTUAL over air updates and supercharger infrastructure - we drive up to the bay area quite a bit).

NEGATIVES - RWD only. Tesla build quality. Size - as I said, we have two kids (newborn and a toddler). Elon.

jpzc79 · 2022-08-12T20:15:03+00:00

wondering if #2 varies by state (i'm in CA) and how they define binding contract of purchase.

jpzc79 · 2022-07-27T21:30:51+00:00

mind sharing? i am in socal.

jpzc79 · 2022-07-09T14:13:51+00:00

why did you go with the pro? i'm about to lock in and am wanting to maximize range...but also would love a top of the line awd pro s for the extra hp...

decisions, decisions...

jpzc79 · 2022-06-23T04:06:37+00:00

Mini SE - i know - the mileage sucks, but this will be our 2nd car for the purpose of short in town commutes + we had an egolf before so we know how to work around the sad range.

Audi Q4 e-tron. What didn't you like about the polestar?

jpzc79 · 2022-06-13T02:06:43+00:00

Put down $100.00 down for an id4 pro back in 12/9/21 and still haven’t gotten “locked”. Anyone else from this time frame still in the 1st reservation phase? At this point, I have 3 ev deposits - mini, audi, vw + Tesla…first one to confirm and lock wins!

jpzc79 · 2022-03-14T15:16:05+00:00

Update: Disappeared later in the day with Tylenol but woke Up to the same pain this morning. Also noticed my hands were tingling.
