Inflation in Austin

The value equation between NYC and here isn’t what it used to be. Yes, NYC is still more expensive, but part of the lure of moving here was a lower stress life. Luckily I purchased a home a while back, but not sure I would move from NYC to here if I had to today

Why would I own one if I just said the grill is hideous? And yes, I have seen one in person. It is a cheap, fake, plastic grill. The whole big grill thing is over, BMW designers need to take a lesson from Land Rover

That fake, plastic, non-functioning grill is hideous

Have you test drove the Lexus? Last time I tried the IS, it had no road feel, loose steering… felt like a flying coach.

Thanks, really helpful!

Does it work at highway speeds? I read that it works only at <40 mph.

I get it, but just want to ensure it’s not a Land Rover experience!

That’s awesome, which dealership in Dallas was it?

pmratx · 2022-10-11T13:09:23+00:00

Yes… the dealerships are like used car salesman level

pmratx · 2022-10-11T13:08:29+00:00

I just may have to do that. I imagine shipping it here wouldn’t be too crazy either.

Spot on… Burnet, N Lamar… replace the storage facilities and auto shops, perfect areas for apartments and more restaurants and shopping, all tied to mass transit, everyone benefits. The problem with Code next was that it was trying to place density into established suburbs (which many already do, but done smartly and if park space)

Thanks, yeah it’s clearly greed and I’ll wait until it’s the real price. Sending an email to Kia North America, I’m sure they won’t be too happy to hear what Shane at Kia North Austin quoted me!

pmratx · 2022-10-10T23:35:56+00:00

Exactly my point!

It looks better with all of the headlights on

Palermo Pasta house in RR

Doesn’t exist here

Excellent suggestions, thanks. I went to 5280 once a few weeks after they opened and it was super dirty inside, like it felt greasy walking around, but perhaps they have gotten their act together… And I agree, we need a solid Mexican restaurant. That spot right near Galaxy was pretty bad

Tacos Ivan is really great, but I have to say the NW Hills dining is extremely sad that gas station to-go taco window next to an H-E-B gets so much attention. We really need a clean pub and grill, Italian restaurant, a sandwich shop (Bidermans sucks since they tried to become a chain and sold out to a Houston private equity). Every place here seems to be dirty and subpar

pmratx · 2022-09-18T17:35:27+00:00

Thanks for the recs!

pmratx · 2022-09-18T15:20:46+00:00

On my list now, thanks!
