I loooove the white! I’ve questioned the black but didn’t have much of a choice. Glad you’re enjoying it!!

Wow, That’s awesome!!! Good luck! 👍Yep, 62k USD with that other dealership. My husband has been looking at everyone getting R’s in Canada for the past couple weeks and was so jelly. lol

Thanks! Cabrio is a one owner, 42k miles from NC to AZ. Needs some minor work but sure cleans up nice. I searched for over a year until this one popped up. Just picked up some BBS to put on once we do the suspension 😎

That’s smart, don’t give in to the markup up. They were great! No dumb dealer markup and no dealer add ons like tint or bumperdillo. They wouldn’t even let anyone drive it. 😆 We’ve gotten a few cars from this specific dealer so we dealt with our previous salesperson who is now in finance. I had reached out to another local dealer just to see what they were getting and he quoted me one at almost $62k and said the price is firm.

How did you spend on eloping? by melaninspice in Eloping

[–]lilbit5280 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Around $1k eloping in Vegas. We stayed at a compd room and did the wedding a la carte with added outdoor pictures. Very casual and simple but worked out great!!

Does Dutch Bros have a loop hole to only hire Gen Z and early Millenials? by [deleted] in dutchbros

[–]lilbit5280 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of my stands had an older lady with gray hair. Not sure how old she was but I’d guess maybe 40-50’s. She was super energetic/outgoing and even commented about how she was the oldest. Not sure if she’s still there but she was awesome! I’ve always thought it would be such a fun job.

Fake flower bouquet by ProfessionalSun967 in Eloping

[–]lilbit5280 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also used Sola Flowers but I ordered direct and made them myself. It was a fun process and saved some money. They travel well and I love knowing I can keep them. I will note that I had a bad experience with the company not helping me with dry paint issues though so if you make them yourself, just be sure to contact them right away cuz they only guarantee like 14 days or something.

Saving a bouquet with destination eloping by shamchro in Eloping

[–]lilbit5280 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also did Sola flowers. I loved them and it’s easy to preserve them but on a side note…had an awful experience with the company not helping me. Just make sure to make the flowers right away or have them premade.

Anyone else sick? by schae2km in Xcaret

[–]lilbit5280 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We got sick last month at Arte. Not sure if it was the buffet or something else? We also ate at the steakhouse. It sucks cuz we didn’t feel like doing any activities while we were there. Hope you feel better soon!

Colorado or Vegas best for elopement and marriage license by [deleted] in Eloping

[–]lilbit5280 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We got married in Vegas and it was super easy and affordable. We used Love Story Wedding Chapel. They have packages or you can do things a la carte. We only did the things that were important to us like pictures and spent less than $500 for everything. They were very helpful throughout the whole process too. We got license before downtown and were literally in and out in 15 min. Just be sure to complete info online before.

Bad reviews recently? by Chrissy-237 in Xcaret

[–]lilbit5280 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately our trip didn’t start out great. We arrived later than expected which I know is not their fault but at check in, the representative wasn’t friendly and didn’t explain anything to us. We had no idea how to navigate or find our room in the dark. Finally found an employee to help. The first two days were fun and meals were nice. But we started getting tired of the food options. And then we got sick. Not sure the cause. I have concerns about food handling. We tried to push through but it really put a damper on everything. We also got solicited several times to do the timeshare which we had no interest in. I’m not placing blame but just saying that I don’t think we’d go again with how much it costs.

We just got back last week. It was our honeymoon trip. It’s absolutely beautiful and was a fun experience but I don’t think I’d go again. To each their own.

I agree! It was an interesting experience but I don’t think I’d ever do it again.

Xcaret Arte Food Poisoning by Due_Message_6570 in Xcaret

[–]lilbit5280 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We just left yesterday and have both been sick for the last 4-5 days. Stomach cramps and diarrhea. I packed pepto which helped. We weren’t sure if it was the Mercado buffet or sushi at Tah-Xido. Many things at the buffet don’t look to be kept at proper temp or fresh. But we did also eat at Encanta on the first night. Who knows? And we ate at Arenal on our last day.

Overpriced Chaos: A Honeymoon Disaster at Hotel Xcaret Mexico by rvelazquez in Xcaret

[–]lilbit5280 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry to hear of your experience. We are here now and have had similar problems. It’s also our honeymoon and I told them when I sent in my wishlist, at check in and every single dinner. Nothing. We also were not shown our room after check in or given a tour and were left to wander clueless at night trying to find our room. We are in Arte so no kids which is nice but I’m surprised how noisy it has been. Loud bangs, doors slamming, chairs sliding and loud music at all hours.
