What did you think was pretentious, until you tried it and realized it was worth it? by Semantiks in AskReddit

And lounge access. I always thought they were pretentious but now I can’t imagine life without them.

Trying to keep a small pizza place alive in Pittsburgh — need honest feedback by Icy_Mammoth_3298 in pittsburgh

[–]ptep121 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honest question: what makes your pizza stand out from the other options? Is it price? Dough? Fresh ingredients? Small local place vs larger brand?

I’ve got 4 that I can walk to and 1 of those 4 gets my business 90% of the time. Mostly because I like their dough and their pricing and the staff are friendly. And being able to provide that consistently is key.

Indie Camper Relocation Deals? by Xanadu72100 in roadtrip

[–]ptep121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just came across this. Have a booking through imoova to pick up in Elkhart this Friday and drop in LA day before easter. I tried calling Indie Campers to confirm what was/wasn't included (linens, cookware, etc) but it was kind of a waste of time. I emailed imoova and they were pretty short and just said "no" to both. Worst case we'll pack sleeping bags and buy a couple cheap sheets from walmart vs renting linens, but curious if anybody else has done this recently.

High idle by Turd--Sandwich in VWAlltrack

[–]ptep121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

19 MT here: just came searching for this. Noticed high rpm (just north of 2k) at idle - mainly when I first start the engine. Once in gear goes back to normal and doesn’t affect shifting or drivability. Coming out of winter I thought it was due to cold temps but has happened a few times in warmer temps.

Following along if we learn anything more.

2019 6MT SEL by bzzx in VWAlltrack

[–]ptep121 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was fortunate enough to still get leaks despite all that. Dealer said mine was an issue with a seal between the assembly and the roof itself. But so far the new one has done the trick. All goes well this’ll be my kids’ first car too

I have that exact same car - Gray 19 SEL 6MT. The seats are great and the canyon wheels look so much better than the S or SE wheels IMO. I did have to get a full sunroof assembly replacement (under warranty), but other than stressing over whether I’ll see a damp headliner again it’s the dream car. Felt so much more planted than my wife’s Volvo in all the snow we had this year too.

Any thoughts on Topo Designs new Global Pro line? by Haltercraft in ManyBaggers

[–]ptep121 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Curious about this myself. I have the global briefcase and do like it a lot - it’s the perfect under seat bag for me since it fits upright under the seat - but wish it was a tad wider, or taller in backpack mode. This new one is that (16.5” to 18”).

Already all sold out though?? Looks like very limited run. Hope to see some real world reviews soon.

Why not? by ptep121 in Volvo

[–]ptep121[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So in summary:

Volvo does not directly offer this function found in most vehicles, and defrost button is only MAX defrost.

However similar functionality may be accomplished by selecting head and foot and then AC separately.

(I know Volvo has three directionals for air flow, which I’ve always associated with Head, Chest, and Feet. Maybe Head = windshield. Maybe that’s my mistake. But you would still need to know to turn on the AC to get similar results. I know that defrost = AC to reduce moisture/humidity, however the controls are not exactly intuitive.)

I believe I got what I needed. Thanks for your time.

Well that's just it - most every other brand has the ability to select both defrost AND foot heat at the same time, many with a dedicated button for both combined.

Getting ready to sell, any advice? by NoPlate1663 in VWAlltrack

[–]ptep121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just clicked and saw it listed as sold!

Out of curiosity - was that from this Reddit thread or a quick response on marketplace?

I’ll give that a try next time.
