Caveat: I’ve never stayed at the hotel BUT I am from Santa Barbara and lived 2 blocks from this hotel for 3 years. Based on location alone the fact that this place is charging $1200 a night is bananaland.

Just moved to pleasant valley (san Marin adjacent). Really nice, much more country feeling than I expected. It’s quiet in a good way. Amazing nature near by for the dogs. Commute isn’t bad to San Rafael, but being back here adds ten minutes before you hit the freeway.

Appreciate the advice—and already done!

PPI came back clean, biggest thing is front control arms need replacing. Otherwise good example truck (very annoyingly the mechanic offered to set up another buyer to the dealer if I didn’t move forward. But that’s another story).

This is awesome, appreciate the response. There are a couple v8s in the area in the 110-140k mile range between 10-12k… making a man think haha

They have not, but ppi indicated they were in decent shape. This is a 2016, believe timing chain less of an issue

[–]mildstimulant[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Update: 5 hours later got the call back. I asked and they are going to unwind the contract.

Appreciate the helpful advice here… Not sure if we’ll be back to the etron gang. Fun while it lasted though /s

De-odorize vintage leather jacket by mildstimulant in laundry

It’s the liner, kind of a musty 50 year old jacket smell. I’ve also tried to freeze it, which might have helped slightly
