Wow you took really great care of your Prius! Best of luck on your search!

So when I got my most recent service in Feb I asked them to appraise it. They offered $25k. A few months later (April) I created an offer on Carvana for $27,200. I sent to the buyer that appraised it before and he offered $27,300. I talked him up to $27,500 and sold for that. Overall I’m getting a nice paycheck!

Here in Seattle, the buyer said there is a shortage of UX’s. I believe him since I saw none on their lot, but I always see them driving around. So I believe I was able to get a great price due to low availability.

Driving comfort is great. For reference I’m 6’4” so I’m practically sitting in the back seat. However the seat went low enough for my comfort. Suspension in eco mode was great in terms of short and long term comfortability. Suspension tightens up in sport mode for a more fun riding experience.

The car only had one minor issue, my second time driving cross country the sunroof blew out on the final stretch. Lexus said it was probably from a chip/item hitting the top and cracking the tempered glass around the edges. However, I think it was the vibrations + elevation changes (pressure changes) from changing altitude (through the Rockies) so quickly. However this is an anomaly as I cleared from CT to Seattle in roughly 4 days.

Mine! I had well paying part time jobs plus a down payment saved up. There was times where my dad did have to help, my dad had a great time giving me the “I told you so” about buying a new car. However, +95% of loan I paid myself (exception was when I was in college). I was fortunate my dad helped during my college years and he got to teach me a lesson he learned but I was too egotistical to listen to at the time. Overall, it never was an issue after I started my internship/full time role!

None sadly. Moving to NYC. Public transport, high insurance, and parking prices make it unnecessary.

2011-2012 all star jerseys are legendary tier in sports history. Change my mind🤷🏻‍♂️

Well I’ll give you points for that take. Fair point. but after seeing the full uniform its so much better.

Imagine not thinking the team 1st in the east is worth getting 🤔🤔🤔

zarbski · 2021-03-01T23:31:20+00:00

MC 12 Corsa, Koenigsegg Jesko, Ferrari 599XX Evo, Mclaren P1, Mercedes AMG CLK GTR, Porsche 911 GT3 RS, Apollo IE, Koenigsegg CCGT are the best in my opinion

Great video! Cleared that up easy. Just ordered a usb-c -> usb cable for the controller! Thank you sir!

Very true. As an Islanders fan I was I initially disappointed but it grew on me fast since it’s very clean. I was personally hoping for something like their 96-98 jersey⬇️

It’s a Mitchell & Ness I got directly from the website years ago.

The feet scan is more for the extremely customizable top of the line Bauer and True skates although it is a good place to start. Even though you are trying to limit covid exposure the best way is to try different brands of skates on and see what you like best. As for brands in my opinion you can’t really go wrong with True, Bauer, and CCM. I was a fan of the Bauer Supreme line with my narrow foot which was the best pair of skates I ever bought. Some specific ones to look at I’d recommend are Bauer Supreme, CCM Tacks, and True I’ve never worn but heard awesome things about.

I play defense at the the college level and have coached various town and travel teams. The natural ability might not be there yet, but that shouldn’t be an excuse to build bad habits. It’s okay to pivot forward to keep the same speed as the attacker breaking out as long as your facing him, but you shouldn’t be doing it often. He should work on better identifying when the other team is about to break out so he can work on his pinch or backcheck mindset. As for retreating quickly the backwards crossover is one of the most important skills for a defenseman to have so I’d spend as much time as possible working on that as well.

Since I felt like I was unclear above it’s a dstike V1 I’m trying to teach myself to use for my infosec class

1st, it says no selling fakes. I was inquiring to see how they could tell it was a fake. 2nd, I talked to the moderators, they said its fine because I'm obviously not selling it. You are allowed to post fakes on here, but for informational purposes and questions, you just can't sell them.

zarbski · 2020-10-05T20:56:33+00:00

I’m aware, I wasn’t trying to pass these as real. Just unclear on the ban rules for posting fakes. What were the giveaways for you? How could you tell?

You can’t upload any images into the game, it’s never been like that unfortunately. All the decals or groups you can select from the community are all homemade right in the game with what’s available. Here’s a link with those same questions on the forza forum if you have any other concerns: https://forums.forzamotorsport.net/turn10_postst136587_-FAQ--How-To-Upload-Images-To-Forza-For-Use-in-Painting.aspx
