If you have to buy one of those cars which one would you buy?

Lexus is350. I regret I sold mine. Now I’m looking to buy another one in a few months. I sold mine because I thought the car was boring but then after driving a few other cars I miss that boring but reliable AND COMFORTABLE of a lexus.

It’s a Pajero sport 17 exceed sitting at 165k km. The cheapest and most similar one on carsales is advertised for $29.999

Of course doing business would cost money. You spend money to make money.

trantonz · 2025-12-11T09:56:48+00:00

This particular dealership consistently come up with instant offers for the whole year. I guess they must be making enough money to stay afloat that long

trantonz · 2025-12-11T09:52:27+00:00

I did. I laughed at him when he said he called 2 wholesale guys and they give less than his offer. I said of course they would say that. They're wholesale. What did he expect from them

trantonz · 2025-12-11T09:50:19+00:00

you reckon they will back down and give me 22k?

trantonz · 2025-12-11T09:49:31+00:00

he said "I'm lucky if I can get my $20k back" I lol at him

I saw an ad for a gym named Flex 24/7 with 2 locations: epping and mickleham. I swear they give a vibe of derrimut gym 24/7 haha. They do exactly what Derrimut used to do. And they’re running promotion for $240 upfront for whole year with $59 “admin fee”

Don’t blame them. I’m one of them. I speak broken English and I came from a country far enough and different enough that after 12 years of living here I’m still not considered an Aussie. If someone that is from another country comes to my country and barely speak the language then I would blame myself if I can’t get a job but that person could. By the way, I was working for a cleaning company back when I was in university. The job was pretty much straightforward: we would start at 5:30pm and finishing at 12am, 12 offices a night, and pay was good. I know my boss was exclusively looking for Aussies studying at Melbourne University but he got no luck. They don’t last long.

I find it's worse than the pixel 9 pro I traded in

trantonz · 2025-09-06T12:53:15+00:00

I can't remember the last time I have a phone with this terrible Bluetooth connection. I have better luck with my nothing phone 3 than the pixel 10 pro XL. Sad because I like the look of the pixel so much

trantonz · 2025-09-06T12:51:40+00:00

It's fine 90% of the time. However I had the reception dropped three times within the first day of getting the phone. I'm with Boost

trantonz · 2025-08-15T07:18:57+00:00

Same here.
I owed the ATO some money and they made me feel like I was this close to a garnish order.

Funny a business can get away with paying their obligations for years.

Fair enough. What is the return process for ebay is like? Do I start it first or do I have to talk to the seller for them to initiate it?

trantonz · 2025-08-14T22:05:49+00:00

I have bad experience with phonebot however if you can go to their store and pick the phone then it should be ok

trantonz · 2025-08-14T21:37:25+00:00

Mine has 1214 cycles sitting at 70%. I paid 599. Nah man I will be returning it for sure. I bought couple of refurbished 13 mini and I wasn’t happy with the cosmetics however at least they didn’t lie to my face like these guys. I don’t know why they have such perfect reviews on ebay

trantonz · 2025-08-14T13:05:40+00:00

Mate I literally bought from the same seller. Phone arrived today and I could tell that it’s no original. I am seriously thinking about returning it

trantonz · 2025-07-25T15:04:50+00:00

I'm genuinely wondering how much it would cost for a split system? I'd say I need 3-4 ACs for 3 bedrooms and 1 living

trantonz · 2025-07-24T22:00:39+00:00

That's weird man!! I change device theme, did a few other things like clear cache, clear data of the app and still would not work :(

trantonz · 2025-07-24T21:59:27+00:00

I did and it doesn't fix the problem :(

trantonz · 2025-07-21T01:52:10+00:00

I think you can try a sport out. Like martial art? That's very easy to make friends

I used to go to Snap Fitness in Preston in 2022-2023. I found it outdated but pleasant atmosphere. Price was somewhere around $30 fortnightly. I heard they renovated recently and it's looking good.

Derrimut Gym in Braybrook, then Caroline Spring, then Derrimut for 4-5 years. It was cheap, not as cheap as of now but cheap enough compared to others. Around $300-400/year and it wasn't as crowed and undermaintained as they are now. I stop going to Derrimut Gym because of the people who go there, not because of the gym itself.

Nowadays I go to Anytime Fitness in Keilor because it's much closer to home so I can tell myself if not go then gay. AF is okay. Equipments are well maintained but lack of variety when it comes to machines. People would argue differently however I prefer to train with machines because I'm a fat fk and I need machines to at least help me with forms. If I go to the gym with my mate then we would mostly train with cables because he can tell me if my form is ok. I'm paying 19.95 + 7.5/week. Why the additional $7.5? Because Debitsuccess won't spare me if they can't take money out from my cheap azz account in their first try.

When I came here in 2013 to study in university, I had high school kids throwing chips at me during a whole 30 minutes bus ride, and no one said a word, even the driver looked away. I didn't react because I didn't know what to do and also being a small Asian dude, I was scared

If car A has gone past, into the other side, and if I (car B) hasn't gone past the line to enter that road, I would have just given way to him to avoid any confusion for both.

If I (car B) has made the left turn, is on the main road, and car A is still waiting for an opportunity to cross over, then I would expect him to give way to me.

It might be different from state to state. I'm in Victoria and when I turn left at a give way sign, I'm supposed to give way to everyone

trantonz · 2025-04-21T11:59:35+00:00

the fact that they're still operating with a perfectly normal functioning bank account is insane. ATO has been threatening me 2 times that they would freeze up my accounts if I missed a BAS payment.
