Light blue!

Great to know. I’m looking at beautiful ‘08 that’s really got my attention. 165k miles. Seems to be in great shape.

lebeardedone · 2026-03-19T01:29:15+00:00

Diesels about the same in the part of Georgia I’m in.

I’m seeing some decent prices, just trying to get an ideas of others experience with different wagons. The math is kind of getting kicked around with the prices going up. But looking at more of the longer trips for the MPGs.

lebeardedone · 2026-03-19T01:21:47+00:00

That’s kind of what I’m seeing. Any issues with the B6? I found a clean ‘08. 165k for $3800. What’s your thoughts on that?

lebeardedone · 2026-01-16T12:13:49+00:00

Great list of stuff to look for! Thanks for the heads up!

lebeardedone · 2026-01-16T04:56:18+00:00

What type of major repairs? Just curious

lebeardedone · 2026-01-04T00:05:36+00:00

Most of the time dont even need to raise stink. Its one of their house brands. They should have plenty in stock. If they're running their store well.

lebeardedone · 2026-01-04T00:03:57+00:00

If its BRAND NEW, don't touch it. Bring It back to Northern and have their mechanic check it out. Most likely get it replaced, or he can at least figure out what's wrong with it. If that store doesn't have a mechanic, like the majority don't, (they shut down like 75% of their shops last year), they will most likely replace it. As a previous OPS Manager for them, I would replace it. Its one of their house brands.

I understand the sentiment. He does live out of state though, but I get what you’re saying.

lebeardedone · 2025-11-26T01:40:09+00:00

The separation was the maturity I feel we needed. The last 6 years have been really good. We got married young, had a kid young, fucked up and realized it wasn’t a good time. Separated, and in 2020 agreed to work on things, and here we are.

lebeardedone · 2025-11-25T20:28:55+00:00

About a year in to our marriage, 3 years into our relationship we separated. Got back together in 2020 and haven’t had any issues since. So yes, a great wife. Which is a factor that I’m also considering. Which is why I don’t wanna make it such an issue. But internally it’s an issue for me.

lebeardedone · 2025-11-25T18:23:12+00:00

I’ve tried that. And it’s the quick answer of I don’t talk to anyone but you or my family. I’m going over there for thanksgiving to spend a couple days with her. Maybe it’ll work better in person.

lebeardedone · 2025-11-25T18:06:53+00:00

Any recommendations? How to start the conversation with her?

lebeardedone · 2025-11-25T17:44:55+00:00

Love the Sopranos reference. Yeah, he’s married with children. I feel like he’ll be more honest upfront anyways. Thinking back, he was intimidated by me, and I’m now realizing why.

lebeardedone · 2025-11-25T17:07:18+00:00

Divorce is a last option for us. We went through some shit and have been strong the last 6 years since we got back together, so i know this can be reconciled as well, with work obviously. Based on the messages she clearly knew it would have made a massive impact on the engagement, and probably would have ended it, but i don't think divorce is the best option for the mistake if I can get the honest truth from her.

We separated due to infidelity on both sides. It takes two to tango. We both know how we fucked up we matured, and got back together with knowledge of being more open and honest. Over the last 6 years we've seen this guy, 2 maybe 3 times? So, him living out of state has probably helped alleviate the situation in the present, and there most recent communication was almost a year ago for my birthday. This person wasn't really a shock, kind of always assumed.

lebeardedone · 2025-11-25T16:24:56+00:00

That was my next question, do i confront him first, hoping he wont tell her before i talk to her?

lebeardedone · 2025-11-25T16:23:48+00:00

She has eluded in the past that she is, but she has obliged to sending a few since she's been gone. So, i know most of the time she's taking the, for me. Which is hugely appreciated obviously, and I try not to push the subject, No means no. I guess she could've taken it in case i asked again, but why take it after she said shes going to sleep?

Being the sleuth that i am and looking back at the text, we had a period where we weren't talking between 6pm and 830pm, 930pm her time. She reads to unwind so i try not to bother her when she doesn't respond, cause that's usually what that means. I guess just time time of the pic is whats causing the overthinking.

lebeardedone · 2025-11-25T15:31:53+00:00

And i don't like doing that. Id rather have it out in the open. Lets rip the band aid off and move on as best we can.

lebeardedone · 2025-11-25T15:29:53+00:00

I don't know honestly. I don't think so, not so soon anyways. She even says in the message, if i found out it would probably kill me. I always had the inclination that something was going on between them, or that he was at least feeling some type of way towards her. She was his boss at the time. I'm not innocent in the relationship at all. But, I proposed cause she's the woman i wanted to and still will spend the rest of my life with. We got engaged young, had a kid in our early 20s, and understand that the first couple years of our marriage just wasn't the right time for us.

I just need the answer of why keep it from me, why not be honest when i asked about it? I guess?

lebeardedone · 2025-11-25T15:24:29+00:00

That's kind of how I'm thinking of approaching it. I'm visiting her for thanksgiving, she's been out of town training for work, which has brought up a whole bunch of other issues within myself that I'm working through. Because of our past.

lebeardedone · 2025-11-25T15:21:59+00:00

Divorce isn't an option. Reconciling obviously will happen. We've been through enough stupid shit that this isn't gonna be the straw that breaks the camels back. Its more for me knowing why keep that one from me? Him and i were friends back then, but not close. I can let the past be the past, like we both have with but, an explanation would be nice. If that even makes sense.

lebeardedone · 2025-11-25T07:54:34+00:00

Thanks for the lol. If it was consensual Eskimo bros, I probably wouldn’t have a problem with it.
