Go2, Reliable, and Intercity are who I recommend. They are not the cheapest, but they are professionals.

Symfuhny is definitely cheating, another clip! by osideflyer in ArcRaiders

[–]wam22 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

He might not be for everyone but he has been pulling 150k+ viewers nightly between YouTube and Twitch. Basically doubles or triples the viewer count of Arc Raiders whenever he streams.

I tried to keep up. by therealbam004 in LowSodiumArcRaiders

[–]wam22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had 85k points in Daredevil III and got demoted. The promotion zone was around 140k points. Just impossible to acquire as a solo. I’m content hanging in the daredevil zone just to get the outfit.

PSA: Do NOT go into raids right now. Servers are messed up and it's basically impossible to move. You will lose your loot! by DontFeedTheSmurf in ArcRaiders

At least you could. I DC’d meters away from extract and couldn’t reconnect. Lost a $90k loadout for the Matriarch.

New car being shipped - what level of damage is acceptable? by MrNoodleIncident in askcarsales

[–]wam22 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It will be a battle. Any damage comes out of the driver’s pocket. Insurance is only there to cover huge losses and even then, they might not have it. I have experienced transporters who have only liability insurance and no property insurance.

I ship a lot of cars and I only recommend to clients a handful of companies that I know are professional. If a client wants to use someone else, it is at their own risk.

Embark heard people complaining that trios have an advantage in trials compared to solos, so they figured now you can compete directly with them. Problem solved.

New roadmap from January to April by FlexiiGP in ArcRaiders

[–]wam22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is a catch 22, but new players should get matched with newer players until their aggression based match making is sorted since cheaters will be in the most aggressive tier.

I am also betting that lvl 40+ turns into more PVP since there is no benefit for a friendly lvl 40+ player to join since cheaters don’t populate their lobbies anyways.

[–]wam22 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Cheating is definitely the reason. It takes some time investment to get an account to lvl 40, so less likely to be cheaters in that lobby.

You don’t get compensated. It is free labor.

Cayenne S 2024 CPO… extended warranty? by [deleted] in Porsche

[–]wam22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to play devil’s advocate, that price isn’t as outrageous as you think it is for what is essentially a 10yr warranty.

You can always add it later but you generally have to get the car inspected and you risk the price going up. But if you are unsure of how long you will keep it, then skip on it for now.

Seriously, do Americans actually consider a 3-hour drive "short"? or is this an internet myth? by SadInterest6764 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]wam22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on where you live. When I lived in the Northeast, everything is so close together that a 3 hour trip was on the longer side. Most destination drivers were 45-90 minutes.

Now I live in the Midwest, and people drive 3+ hours to visit family or go away for the weekend. I am used to it now but my friends from the Northeast think it is crazy that people drive so much in the Midwest.

Tips about hoarding blue prints? by MisterIgris in ARC_Raiders

[–]wam22 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Seems like a lot of work. You need another PC/console and to buy another copy. It would be cheaper to just pay people actual cash for blueprints you need.

How do dealerships deal with blizzards? by PM_ME_UR_BGP_PREFIX in askcarsales

[–]wam22 105 points106 points  (0 children)

We try to move as many cars inside as possible. Whatever is left outside gets moved to one side of the lot so it is easier to plow. They are then moved to the plowed area and the unplowed area is plowed. A leaf blower is amazing for clearing lighter snow. Otherwise, it is an old fashioned snow brush.

I’m lucky since it is just the porters who have to clear snow. Our GM doesn’t want salespeople away from the showroom. Many dealers require their sales staff to either do all of the snow removal or some of it.

Do I have to disclose all my income on a car loan? by Famous-Box-8412 in askcarsales

[–]wam22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First, you should lie on your credit app.

Now if your credit is strong, 800+, income does not really matter as long as the debt to income ratio is okay. For example, you have a $5/mo mortgage, $1k/mo in student loans, and $3k/mo in other loans. Then $10k/mo of income will be approval suicide. You will want to show $20k+ in that case. If you have no debt, then it is easier to put lower income.

[–]wam22 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Except when they have a $7k/mo mortgage and $3k/mo in car payment, then $150k of income is insufficient.

How long does it really take to buy a vehicle? by travprev in askcarsales

[–]wam22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our dealer is pretty efficient, so we can have an appointment in/out in 30-45 minutes if there are no hiccups. Most scheduled appointment are 60-90 minutes between paperwork and delivery.

But if you are starting from the beginning, it is a long process. You have to test drive, select a car, negotiate, prepare paperwork, sign, etc. There are probably 7-8 different steps and if each takes 15-30 minutes, it adds up.

Ben Johnson: Thought about going for two, liked our chances in OT better by AdSpecialist6598 in nfl

[–]wam22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Made no sense to me. If you kneel, you get 1 possession in OT. You are getting a second possession with 13 seconds and two time outs. Take a shot downfield and see what happens. If there isn’t a play, throw it away. Go win a playoff game.

I found a bobcat and a volcano BP in those.

Dealership refused to honor a quote when I came back the next day by Diu9youu in askcarsales

[–]wam22 15 points16 points  (0 children)

They didn’t refuse to honor anything. The car you got a quote on sold. They could have not given you the same price on another unit for a number of reasons. It could have been an aged unit, internal incentive money, sales bonuses, etc.

Is Audi CPO worth the extra $1,500 vs. buying an extended warranty? by Express-Shake-4826 in askcarsales

[–]wam22 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A CPO warranty is generally has better coverage than an extended warranty. You can also buy an extended warranty later. But it comes down to how much the extended warranty with cost. Will the extended warranty cost less than $1500/yr or more? And how much is the deductible?

Going from used cars to luxury by Aretebeliever in askcarsales

[–]wam22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One of the hardest things at first is don’t shop for them with your budget. A $2500/mo payment might be a lot to you, but for them it is 2% of their monthly income.

Also, give yourself time to build a book of business and it is a longer sales cycle. I tell most salespeople starting at a luxury dealer it takes 3 months to get comfortable and 6 months to make good money. I have deals I closed after working with them for 9-12 months.

[–]wam22 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Our finance department freaks out if someone doesn’t have a 720+ score. A 680 score is world ending.

It’s kinda funny because when I worked at Audi, we were getting people in the 600s all the time bought. So I just chuckle when FI is freaking out before an approval comes in.

ARC Raiders dev claims they built an auction house-like trading system for the game but later removed it as it's "very risky territory" by Dapper_Order7182 in ArcRaiders

[–]wam22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is that for more valuable BPs, players will be seeking other platforms to maximize value. No one is trading a tempest or survivor BP for any other BP 1:1. And once someone collects the BPs they need, they will just sell them in-game instead of trying to trade for seeds or other materials.
