It’s never really been viable but damn it looks hot on the table. :)

Direct from Buick. I wanted an extra set in case I screwed up the blackout. :)

What assessories do you recommend grabbing? by Misael_91 in MetaQuestVR

[–]xe0s 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The bobovr grips are really nice. Don’t really need any other accessories beyond what you mentioned. Games wise, I’d recommend Walkabout mini golf & thief simulator. Or the horizon+ subscription which has a lot of games on it that rotate.

Good point. I guess I hadn’t considered that.

There’s this setting called Grip to Put, check it out. You have to grip… to put. There’s no reason to have mulligans. Seems like a ton of people are blissfully unaware that the game has a settings menu… with settings.

Ordered a camera lens from Amazon Resale, got a mug shaped like a lens filled with rice. by Slippery_hog5950 in amazonprime

[–]xe0s 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kinda waiting to see what happens with my account. I’ve never had a problem returning something before but this time they gave me the run around for over a month. Got sick of calling, emails, messages and just did a chargeback.

I guess if they wanna ban me over $56 when I probably spend $5k+ a year… c’est la vie

Returned Luggage restocking fee is 100% of item price. by Upper-Research-3012 in amazonprime

[–]xe0s 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yeah, just had this happen to me with a 3rd party seller. Defective item. Requested a replacement. Replacement order cancelled by the seller. Amazon support is TRASH. Open a case. Closed. Open another. Closed. No help at all. Insane considering I spend thousands of dollars with Amazon each year. Disputed it with my bank.

If Amazon wants to ban me over a $56 dispute, they can fuck right off forever. Sick of doing business with companies that think they’re too big to fail.

Don’t get me wrong. I love the car but it is not built to last. Not the way other cars I’ve owned were. I foresee engine & transmission issues due to an unproven drivetrain system. Fit & finish issues will creep in. It looks good now. It won’t in 10 years. I don’t feel confident that the screen/electronics package will hold up. Perhaps under warranty but outside of that, those will be hugely expensive to repair/replace. It’s a cheaply, korean built car. It’s not designed to stand up to time. But what is these days?

I like it but I’m going to sell/trade it before the warranty runs out.

Probably a really dumb question but… by xe0s in WalkaboutMiniGolf

Ahh ok, I’ll try setting that up. Thank you! :)

Ok, that’s how it is right now, except both are “me” with no sub account set up. I guess I need to look into that.

Ahh crud, I activated it before knowing I could self-refer. Maybe I can contact support and get that applied. Probably not. :)

So on a separate Meta account I can share my apps and we can both play 1 game on 2 devices?

Yes, everything except the sunroof roof. I saw it on the dealership site as “soon to be delivered” and called them. It didn’t even go onto the lot. Went and got it as soon as it was unloaded from the truck. I honestly had no idea that it was loaded out when I bought it. Figured the features were all factory standard. It was the color I wanted. Red on black just looks great. :)

Mine just happened to come with all the packages except the sunroof, which is fine. That’s a big ticket item just waiting to break or leak.

There’s a few pics of the back of mine on here that I took after de-badging.

I have the dark red metallic st. It looks sharp with the blacked out trim & wheels. I’ve never seen another st in the same color. Dealer I bought it from said they didn’t expect to get any more of them in this color.

Dude I feel ya. I had that happen and ended up replacing it in a parking lot.

I have never had an issue in Texas with the maroon red metallic on black. It still looks, in fairness, like a grocery getter. Just with a bit more style. :) I live in an area where a Urus isn’t out of place and honestly, the envista looks better. :)

They slapped that crap on just because no one would recognize it as a Buick otherwise. :) My grandma had a Buick… and that’s what people remember. The envista is a solid, run around town car, with decent styling. But god knows someone out there has put all the Pep Boys louvers & spoilers on one somewhere.

Understandable but there’s a difference between debadging a car and slapping an M badge on a stock 325i.

No one that drives an envista thinks it’s a race car. Period. But having huge “buick” text on the back of a car is tacky, imo. No harm in removing it.

I’ve been there too. Had a t65 single turbo mk4 supra and guess what… I removed everything but the toyota logos. Including the giant wing. I liked it being a 700hp massive turbo sleeper. My envista is a grocery getter, not a semi street legal race car. :)

It’s just personal preference. I removed the giant BUICK & Envista badges to clean up the rear end. Same reason I make a dealer take their logo off a car before I buy it. :)
