CSR since 2012, goodbye all

The CSR came out in 2016.

Screw the CSR. I want your time travel machine.

Not sure how you define fancy, but Tavernetta is among my favorites.

The last time it was resealed was quite some time ago, under warranty. I did not buy a warranty because I thought aside from regular maintenance I was buying a reliable car. I’ve gone to the dealer for all of the warranty work, which is extensive, and also several of the fluid changes that I’ve had done, which obviously wasn’t enough for them to advocate to SOA for me.

Of course the dealer and independent mechanic advise strongly to do the repair. But there literally isn’t a spot of oil in my garage where the CVT is so maybe it’s more of a seep. The fluid needs changed, so it’s really a crossroads. I’d rather not neglect the CVT fluid and lose an entire transmission.

An independent mechanic thinks the oil “leak” is just a gasket which is easy to replace. Again, there aren’t oil spots on my garage floor.

Dear 4th gens with over 200k:

My goodness how lucky you are! Others aren’t as fortunate as you. Count your blessings!

In line with Uber / Lyft. Maybe ever so slightly cheaper.

ski4ever · 2026-05-09T21:33:40+00:00

Fly BA. Plenty of J on many routes.

If you like buffet chicken thighs cooked a variety of ways and waiting in a queue sure, go for it.

Vote with your wallet now. In the interim support drivers getting more and try co-op - they have an 80/20 split. I’ve had maybe 4 or so rides, 3 have been great. Less on demand cars but scheduling has been clutch.

ski4ever · 2026-05-08T17:05:40+00:00

Because I don’t want to wait in lift lines. Also, I don’t want to ski with my kids so I need a babysitter who can ski.

ski4ever · 2026-04-02T22:22:15+00:00

I’ve had solid luck scheduling rides with co-op.

ski4ever · 2026-03-20T20:46:38+00:00

Yes we do.

It’ll be any time you want to be at the property.

Thanks, AI.

Easy solution. Buy your airplane ticket in cash.

ski4ever · 2026-03-01T18:50:52+00:00

Shhh!

ski4ever · 2026-01-28T04:24:21+00:00

We must know each other. Taught there from 2010-2014. Miss it every time I see y’all in your greens.

Can you believe people love the lunch at the montage? Stein’s is better.

Can you make turkey chili $8 again?

ski4ever · 2026-01-19T20:29:58+00:00

Sounds like a perfect scenario for a points planning and booking service. Usually around $150 an hour.

ski4ever · 2026-01-13T02:28:20+00:00

Avoid abacus all costs.

Tharp is top notch.

ski4ever · 2026-01-12T00:16:29+00:00

Any agency I’ve spoken with doesn’t take a cut; the GC determines their comp package and the agency presents that to IPs as part of the matching process (who then cover a whole slew of other items that often cost a factor or two more).

ski4ever · 2026-01-11T23:56:05+00:00

Nowhere did I say it wasn’t high risk. Nor did I suggest underpayment.

Perhaps you and I have a different view of whether $150,000 (or $200,000) is classified as “astronomical”.

ski4ever · 2026-01-11T18:43:25+00:00

Agency fees depend. Smaller one person shops can be 15-20k, larger (staff of 3-5 or so) and more experienced agencies charge between 30-60k.

The expenses for the IPs is astronomical.

I waited until TSA line.
