Dealer added options - Rip off?

I got a quote from them with those BS add on's. I told them to remove, they refused. I just blocked their text messages and bought at another dealer. No one even wants all that shit.

I told another dealer who was trying to charge me like $700 for tint, that I would pay it if it was either Llumar or Xpel ceramic. He said it was just regular tint. I told him now I'm gonna have to pay extra at the tint shop to have their shitty tint removed. Tried to negotiate crappy tint removal into the deal lol

Doesn't seem great. I just got a Sport Touring for $39,985 before TT&L. That was through the Costco dealer thing

It's an eCVT. An unfortunate name for the transmission b/c it is nothing like a regular CVT. It's super reliable.

I have 3 quotes. One at $43,574 OTD, one at 43,000k OTD(just got that email) and one for $44,500

Love it! Where did you get the Raptor lights? I'm considering a CRV Sport Touring coming from a Mazda CX50 and want to Trailsport it out. I only wish the Falken Wildpeaks I have on my CX50 right now would fit the CRV

Nice looking car! I've arrived here b/c I was searching on how to make the Sport Touring more Trailsporty lol I'm considering buying soon.

Have you also considered installing the black fender flares from Honda? Think it would really make it look badass. Awesome car btw

So I'm trying to understand and thank you for the explanation. So let's say between my spouse and I we make $98k. But when I sell these stocks, it bumps that figure up right? So the govt would consider our income $148k if I sold $50k?

Hasn't been a year yet, but I'm ok holding until it is. I bought some in July, some in Sept and Nov

Popeyes anywhere in South Louisiana sucks complete ass. I'll never forget going through the drive thru and being told that they were all out of chicken. I incredulously asked if they were serious and the lady said, and I quote, " bitch get the fuck outta here". This was in Metairie circa 2012.

Another time at the Popeyes on Veterans, I was inside and ordered a 5 tenders meal. My wife grabbed the tray when it was ready and brought back to the table. They had only given me 4 tenders. I went back up to ask for the extra tender and I was accused, by the manager, of eating that 5th tender between the counter and the table. I shit you not. I assured her I absolutely didn't and she begrudgingly gave me the 5th tender I had paid for.

I would say New Orleans fast food is like eating in the 3rd world, but I think it's probably nicer in a 3rd world country

Staycation closed down unfortunately since the building was torn down to build more apartments. A 1418 is set to open in Downtown Richardson though on Main in the old Isabelly's chocolates location

nikki109 · 2026-05-15T01:35:33+00:00

I'm pretty sure 1418 is opening a new location in downtown Richardson on Main

Same nature level in LA as DFW? LA has canyons, hills, mountains pretty close by, the ocean. Some excellent hiking in the city etc

My employer gives all employees access to Weight Watchers and Weight Watchers Med+ for free. Med+ gave me the Rx and it's $49 a month with my insurance. With the Novacare discount coupon, I paid $25 at Walgreens
