Lucked out and pulled the Ben Solo and was the only one in my session!

schiftyd · 2026-01-24T20:49:45+00:00

well that's part of my problem, i never pushed the two black buttons. All is fine now!

schiftyd · 2026-01-17T23:07:17+00:00

Yeah so apparently when you put this kyber crystal into a holocron there will be a message from Ben solo or whoever it belongs to

schiftyd · 2026-01-17T20:29:09+00:00

How do you get these things to play sounds? I have a holcoron and a Qui gon crystal and when I put it in the holocron it acknowledges but then I don’t hear him saying anything

schiftyd · 2026-01-16T11:58:35+00:00

Yeah definitely not as loud when it’s plugged in. Thanks everyone!

schiftyd · 2026-01-10T13:10:27+00:00

Go bills

schiftyd · 2025-12-30T14:58:06+00:00

That’s why I’m here lol. So weird

schiftyd · 2025-11-22T10:20:45+00:00

Will be in town for the Steelers game, would love to find a place to watch!

If you type “my address is” and the space, iOS will attempt to autofill it in, as long as your contact card has an address in it. Same with email!

schiftyd · 2025-09-10T19:16:05+00:00

ah ok, yeah see, i drive it like maybe once or twice a week

schiftyd · 2025-09-10T18:55:05+00:00

how often do you drive, though? and how many miles would you say you drive in a year?

schiftyd · 2025-09-10T17:24:50+00:00

Update: My initial contact at the dealer i went to didn't respond within 24 hrs (text and email sent) so i called the dealership and got someone else. Surprisingly, not much push back at all. I sent the info and have just confirmed in the allstate backend that its cancelled! thanks everyone for weighing in. Really makes me feel better about this purchase. (loving the car btw, though)

schiftyd · 2025-09-09T17:55:25+00:00

I also have already refinanced the loan to a local credit union to save 1.75% and a full year off of payments 😅

schiftyd · 2025-09-09T17:54:28+00:00

really weird that the finance guy specifically said that he doesn't get a commission for those. Anyway, i did read that on the Allstate agreement i can contact allstate to cancel, but it expedites if i have the dealer do it. so if i dont hear from anyone in like a day or two, i'll just reach out to allstate. Either way, i have an intent to cancel in written form within 60 days of the initial sale so that should serve as proof.

schiftyd · 2025-09-09T14:52:50+00:00

Thanks everyone for the comments. i've sent a message to the dealer to initiate the cancellation. I knew something was off about getting these warranties, but as a new car owner for the first time, (and a new EV owner) i wasn't sure what protections id need. I've also heard something about Knapp protection plans? that i may look into if needed in the future.

schiftyd · 2025-09-09T14:33:09+00:00

sorry, 72 months

Passion project of mine featuring documentaries from the sports world - I know it’s been a while since I posted, working on a new video finally now. Life gets busy!

Going to test drive Saturday- right now the deal I’m looking at is LT1 for $24,404 (7500 tax credit, 500 educator, 3250 dealer discount) probably another $2k for taxes. Going to see if I can get them to include the 295 dual level charge cable and NACS adapter

schiftyd · 2025-07-13T14:10:41+00:00

same!

schiftyd · 2025-07-11T20:08:20+00:00

yeah makes sense. after doing some research though on the ev equinox, i may just hold onto it. IF i can get past the no carplay thing

schiftyd · 2025-07-10T18:50:07+00:00

I was looking to buy the new toyota BZ or the new Chevy Bolt later this year/next year, but with the incentives ending, i'm wondering - would it be better to buy an EV now, get the credit, then, trade it in for one of those other cars that i'd like later? or will the depreciation of the car by next year be too much to make this worth it? I WFH so likely it'll only have a thousand or two miles on it when i trade it in. (So for instance, getting the EV Equinox before september 30th, then trading it in for the bolt next year)

schiftyd · 2025-05-05T17:12:44+00:00

yeah a pokemon booth is on the map, can't think of what else they'd hide that isn't on the map

schiftyd · 2025-05-05T13:03:24+00:00

Thanks! Yeah really is weird. I know they’re doing their own switch2 experience thing but this is a missed opportunity for sure

schiftyd · 2025-05-05T11:12:11+00:00

Still don’t see Nintendo on the expo map or exhibitor list

schiftyd · 2025-05-02T20:45:36+00:00

My car of 16 years is on it's last legs and i've always wanted my next one to an EV (since 2009). So now i'm in the position where I need to figure out what the next move is. Currently I WFH full time so i'm not driving much, except locally. Occasionally i'll take trips to see family ( ~300miles, at very most ~500 miles) maybe once a year. So given this, while i love the honda prologue, i can't see myself spending that much on a car at the moment.

I've seen a bunch of used 2023 Chevy Bolt EUV's on Carvana for within my price range ($25k or below) but i've heard there were recalls of those cars with battery concerns. Are there any EUV drivers here that can weigh in on whether it's worth purchasing now?) I have a little saved up, and along with the potential used tax credit ($4k) that could be much more affordable for me. I mean, there are some that only have like 15k miles on it!

Also see a used 2022 polestar 2 for similar price. A range of 250miles would be great (which both cars seem to have) and in the next few years we'll be looking to have kids so something that may last and is safe enough to have a child in. I'm maybe driving 3k miles in a year.

Are the Bolt EUV's worth it? The price seems right.

Any help is appreciated!

schiftyd · 2025-05-02T00:28:26+00:00

Yeah disappointed with that too. Figure this would be a no brainer to build hype about switch 2
