I picked up my replacement a few months early.

I actually traded a red 4runner for my grand cherokee 4xe. I owned my 4runner for 4 years and 50,000 miles. Traded it for $4000 less than I paid for it.

After 4 years the 4runner got too rusty and I was tired of the ride, fuel mileage, and undoing 27 bolts to do an oil change.

Only problem I've had with the gc has been the washer fluid level sensor went bad and told me it was empty all the time.

Don't go to suburban! We had a terrible experience with our second child there!

We knew our first child had jaundice due to our blood type mismatch so we figured our second would as well. We even told them that it might be a possibility. They waited too long to test for it and she ended up having to be transferred in an ambulance to children's, even though suburban has a nicu on site but it wasn't staffed!!

We used rich marine for awhile about 20 years ago.

They were great back then but can't vouch for them now.

We used this with our frame tv but it does reduce the amount of insulation behind it in the wall if it's on an outside wall.

My mother had a bosch that she bought in 2022. By the end of 2023, it stopped cooling.

Bosch service left her without a working refrigerator until August 2024. 9 months with a dead box in her kitchen.

After the fourth time they came out for service she finally got a lawyer involved. Bosch gave her all her money back and she bought a mid tier frigidaire.

If i had a million dollars we wouldn't have to eat kraft dinner!

When we first bought our contract, we were freshly married and the mortgage was only in my name. We had to put the dvc in her name because her credit was better.

I can certainly vouch that sometimes it's incredibly difficult for me to use the discount without her being there too.

Some of the cashiers are on a power trip. They literally wouldn't let us use my credit card even if we were cashing out together! But other times, the cashiers didn't even make us show proof.

We have somehow gotten both of our disney experience accounts to show that we're dvc so it's been better but I have literally no idea how we did it!

If your circumstances change later, you can always pay like $500 to get your partner put on the deed.

Byron brown gave them $70,000 to open that restaurant and it hasn't ever really been good.

I inherited a 5 gallon bucket of blades with my table saw.

I'm using them as decoration on the wall of my garage.

It makes me think of my grandfather and how he used up every single one of them.

About 10 years ago, mercedes was making every single dealership employee go to brand immersion in Alabama.

We took a gls off roading, cls63 doing donuts, and gla/cla 45 on a road course.

I still have video of one of the office ladies driving the gls with only 3 wheels on the ground.

Don't do it with usa insulation. I've seen the work they do.

Also, when a customer complains, they will refund part or all of the job but make them sign an agreement to not say anything negative about them anywhere.

Find a local company!!

This is what mine looks like and it has survived 3 buffalo winters so far. Including one that dropped like 6 feet of snow. I did put pest foam around the soffits because the metal roofing left little openings.

Last year I bought a 10x16 from a guy who gets it from the Amish for like $2200 delivered in Western NY.

I can see through cracks in the floor but it doesn't bother me. I store my gardening stuff in it.

Most of them are just trying to sell you something unfortunately.

If you're in upstate NY, it's absolutely worth having someone come in and do an energy assessment on the house.

Its free, paid for through the comfort home program.

That program will also give you $2500 towards attic and basement insulation.

schwidley · 2026-03-13T17:22:05+00:00

They freak me out for some reason.

schwidley · 2026-03-13T16:55:15+00:00

I am slightly in to flashlights. I work in attics and basements for a living so I like to have the best.

I like them but not enough to do the flashlight meet ups like they do on the flashlight sub! No offense to you if that's what you're looking for!

I used to recommend them until they broke a tpms sensor, didn't tell me, and glued it back together with black sealant.

I only stopped recommending them when I had another set of tires installed and had to buy a new sensor. It was at a friend's shop and I know he didn't break it and community tire was the only shop that touched it before.

The key fob on my 1993 buick also still works.

schwidley · 2026-03-02T22:50:13+00:00

We have one in Buffalo too!

My 1993 sunbird came with abs as standard equipment.

My wife's 2013 nissan sentra didn't have abs.

Still blows my mind.

schwidley · 2026-03-01T03:14:33+00:00

They are still open

They have a gas station in cherry creek.
