@xwesx, When I bought my car 3 months ago, I got an online quote, but when it came to initially talking numbers, they claimed not to know anything about it. They started scrambling when I showed it to them on my phone. Now that I think of it, that pretty much happened on my last purchases.

There are few things more satisfying, to me, than paying less than $300 at signing and driving away with a sub $300 payment. The excitement when I drove off in the i3 at $225 was amazing. You must be over the moon, @qbrozen.
I did not buy a car today, but I did book a cruise to Alaska for my parents' 35th Anniversary. My family, my sister, my brother, and my parents. If you folks haven't used CruiseCompete.com, I highly recommend it.

I so want to do an Alaska Cruise. Wife... not so much.
Does Hyundai allow lease transfers? There might be a cottage industry in leasing these things and swapping them to people who live in states where there aren’t as many incentives.
We did that for my in-laws 50th anniversary a couple summers ago. I loved the scenery and would do another Alaska cruise in a heartbeat, but my wife was not as enamored.
might be a good idea. I think I got put on "the clock" tonight. Was talking about cars over dinner (after 35 years, what else is there to talk about?) On the way home I mentioned since it was supposed to be so
warm I would wash the cars, and if I got ambitious might wax her car (though was not sure it needed it). And I tossed out a "maybe I should not bother, though it probably wasn't going away any time soon".
her response was along the lines of "it probably will, it's time". Shocked me! though she did toss in the obligatory (but half hearted) "I don't want a payment".
She still isn't sure what she wants (or more accurately, if we can afford something really fancy). So we will go out and drive a few things (and the car show is next month so can sit in everything possible other than the BMW which won't be there, but we did check that out at the dealer last month.
probably 2 months until the HELOC (and last remnants of college bills!) is fully paid off. So that is a big monthly nut disappearing. Replacing it with a car payment 1/4 as big should not hurt too much!
at least I should have free reign to stop and do some more test drives. Then after the car show will have to pin her down to what exactly she wants then see if I can make it happen!
I know it isn't the most exciting model, but for the lowish miles and CPO so almost 2 years of BtoB warranty, at the price does not seem like that bad of a deal. Plus I love the colors! For a decent priced 2nd car that isn't a penalty box, could do worse.
New cars to the left of me, new cars to the right of me; into the valley of The Boston International Auto Show charge I next Friday! Sigh.
Congrats QB on a great bahgin!

The Cincinnati Stinger GTS sold; there’s another one at a dealer south of Lexington and I plan to take a day off next week to go look at it.

So wife and I discussed and decided, since I don’t know this random broker from Adam, and since broker only had black or white examples, I should give local dealer a chance (Dark gray paint). I emailed salesperson at 1pm to explain I had an offer in hand, and if they could match, we’ll take it. Broker was “about $153 + $199 fee.” If I take that at face value, that’s $158.50/mo equivalent. So I offered dealer $159/mo with $159 at signing. Heard nothing for a few hours, so I texted his cell. About 20 mins later, he said manager accepts and we can pick it up tomorrow at noon.
Excellent.

I really have no interest in doing a cruise on a big boat, but would like to try a riverboat cruise in Europe at some point. My wife though, doesn't even want to do that. And will never go on a big liner. Just not our "thing".

Don’t remind me. It just stares at me from its garage bay with woeful eyes.
The list is extensive. I’m not even sure what order to tackle it in. I think steering rack first, then headers, the lifters, then heads, and so forth.

hi folks and happy 2020! On last day of GMC december incentives I bought a 'loaded' 2019 GMC Terrain Diesel AWD for 25% off MSRP, approx $32000 OTD before the $1200 GM card rebate. Lifetime GM card redemption over $19k now. Terrain is wife's DD. Her 016 sonic stick is now my youngest son's car. My two cars remain the 017 cruze diesel stick (55k) and 015 SS sedan stick (64k). many long roadtrips planned and since last post, will mention those in road trip forum. soon one of these vehicles may be residing in Florida full-time (Vero Beach near indian river inlet).

Selecting a plus tire size for curb protection? no no. you may be protecting the rim but curbing a tire is bad too. don't do it or you will destroy/bubble your tires. i wonder what people mean by 'curbing' too.... my interpretation is that it is a thing that happens unintentionally while parking. driving over a curb is not called 'curbing' - it is called 'driving over a curb'. don't do that either unless you have a vehicle that is supposed to do offroad stuff like crawling over big rocks.
coworker has a porsche cayenne stickshift he will soon trade for a Taycan. it is the final model year that stickshift was offered in Cayenne... it needs a transfer case, dealer wants to swap it but i know there is a dude named Guenter somewhere in New England who can probably fix it for $200. coworker will sell it to me for the trade-in value if i want it when Taycan arrives. i just bought a GMC "CUV" for wifey but am interested in his Cayenne too. would it drive OK as a FWD with the transfer case removed? ;}

That will literally be the most expensive $200 you ever spend. Don't fool yourself into thinking that anything can be done on a Cayenne can be done for $200, maybe an oil change.

This unusually warm weather is both good and bad. It is bad if you sell plumbing & heating supplies for a living and this is supposed to be your "busy" season. It is bad if your 10 year old doesn't have any hockey games this weekend because he got suspended, your 13 year old only has 1 game Sunday night, & you want to go skiing for the "no hockey" day. It is good if you have a well maintained 2001 Honda Prelude Type SH that's been staring at you when you leave and come home every day.
I fired up the Prelude this AM. It took a few cranks to turn over. Heat on. Sunroof open. It is amazing how warm the upper 40's feel. I just had such a pleasant drive to work this AM. My Prelude is simply a joy to drive.
2001 Prelude Type SH, 2022 Highlander XLE AWD, 2025 Camry SE AWD
Son & daughter-in-law have third child yet she selected Tahoe rather than a minivan which I had recommended. They traded their 2018 cruze diesel stick for the 2019 Tahoe. i copied them quickly by purchasing a same-color/same-packages Terrain as a sort of 'mini Tahoe' for my wife.
that would be correct. You can't just remove it, but if it isn't functioning as intended you just don't get FWD probably. I assume you could remove the prop shaft to the front (I think some people do this on AWD Volvos when the angle gear goes) but entirely possible that would wreck havoc on the electronic warning systems.
The GMC Canyon my parents had (same in-line 5 engine) had repeated misfire issues - spark plugs and coils had to be replaced on multiple visits. Part of why they traded it for the Element.
No misfire issues on son's canyon diesel in its first 60k miles or so. No DEF issues. No issues with spark plugs or coils either! No factory issues at all. One significant dealer mistake with oil change, resulting in next 5 oil changes free, and the diesel oil changes are pricey.

We did that this past August.
I'll mention this, since I think we are close in age. You'll be in the lowest 20th percentile in age bracket on the boat. Not that big of an issue, as the groups are pretty self-selecting as far as being active, bu that's part of it.

North of Glens Falls is a little too far for a day trip. We went to Windham a week or so ago and it was muddy, grassy, & icy.
There’s really not an appeals process that I know of. As much as it stinks, my son did punch another player and the referee saw it. I don’t want to delay this any more.

That's a good way to go for your son. Take your medicine, learn from the experience.
agreed about the kid. If nothing else, will learn a lesson about retaliating. Nothing stopping you of course from filing a written protest with your side of the story (about the other kids action) just to have it on record!
Walt, my parents after they retired started doing those riverboat cruises. Based on their pictures, I know what you mean about the demographics. I am not too worried about that. Probably better than being on a boat swarming with little kids or 20 something party animals

I'm sure it was a bit spirited as well. I love those early morning weekend drives.
I've always had a fear of traveling on oceangoing ships so a cruise has never been on my radar. Now that I've seen various and sundry videos of cruise ship disasters I feel like my irrational fears might not be totally irrational.
@qbrozen ....dang....big congrats on the GREAT deal!
@roadburner ....sorry, didn’t look over hear to see your post. Good luck in Nicholasville. I think you have the “deal” in hand of the offerings up here. Thinking it should be a pretty easy deal, if you decide to go with the GTS. Good luck!
I want very badly want to cruise in Alaska. Now, I just need to find someone who want to do it with me.

It was interesting.. 14 days, five countries.
I wouldn't do it again, but I'm glad we did it. Enjoyable, and a lot of history. Good guides. We've only been on one ocean cruise. Wasn't a big fan. The accommodations on a riverboat cruise are much more spacious, and a great view from every cabin.
Congrats on the punch. Have fun with it and give us your early impressetions.

So much to do, multiple islands in a week, food and booze everywhere. The new NCL ships even have a go cart track.

@roadburner ....sorry, didn’t look over hear to see your post. Good luck in Nicholasville. I think you have the “deal” in hand of the offerings up here. Thinking it should be a pretty easy deal, if you decide to go with the GTS. Good luck!
I want very badly want to cruise in Alaska. Now, I just need to find someone who want to do it with me.
I wouldn't do it again, but I'm glad we did it. Enjoyable, and a lot of history. Good guides. We've only been on one ocean cruise. Wasn't a big fan. The accommodations on a riverboat cruise are much more spacious, and a great view from every cabin.

My how times change. In 2005 when I came to Edmunds and visited the old forum, Stories From the Sales Front Lines or something like that, I was maybe the second guy, I think @snakeweasel was the other dope who owned a throwaway. Now it's almost fashionable to own one. Not many people can say they are ahead of the curve but that's a burden I've learned to live with for most of my life.
Congrats again.
