Lowest “low” forecasted for Phoenix for the next 10 days: 88.
And “dry heat” my ass. When it’s 115 and your car has been parked in the sun for a few hours, “dry” doesn’t matter.
Why the fuck would you park your car in the sun in the middle of summer? I lived in Phoenix for 17 years and never had to park my car in the sun. Just about everything you need has a covered parking option.

I have an Anker and have been really pleased with it.

Have a reservation at the beginning of August. It was the earliest date we could get at a reasonable time.

How tall are you? I’ve driven a ton of Q50s as rental cars (actually totaled one in Houston when a red light runner t-boned me) and have never been able to get a comfortable seat position. I’m only 6’2 but I’ve never been able to get the seat back far enough so that my right knee isn’t hitting the dash or low enough that my head isn’t scraping the roof.

You don’t get wealthy by spending it.
He was willing to shell out $1500 cash to get a better seat in Y. Don’t think he’s against spending money.

lulz
What confuses me about this story is that it appears like that is the Y cabin. Why the hell isn't someone with Cam Newton’s money not buying a seat in J?

“Harding Street incident” sounds so much more innocent than what it really was. Murder of two residents on Harding Street by dirty cops using a falsified warrant.

I get that there is a deductible and coinsurance, but not sure why this would matter to the hospital. They already got their insurance money. On top of all that, as I stated earlier, I ain’t got any money and am living in a van down by the river. So, they should take what they can get. Of course, I don’t want to damage my excellent credit either.
That’s where you’re wrong. Your deductible and coinsurance means that they haven’t gotten their money. Use this example assuming you signed up for an insurance policy and agreed to a $2k deductible and 20% coinsurance:
Hospital Bill: $10,000
Rate that your insurance company has prenegotiated on your behalf: $4,000
Insurance cuts a check for the negotiated rate less your deductible and coinsurance: $1,200
Hospital discounts the bill by $6,000 and bills you for $2,800. These are amounts you agreed to pay when you purchased the policy. I get that healthcare in this country is expensive, but would you expect the body shop to give you your car back after a repair if you refused to pay your $1,000 collision deductible?

Replace the battery in the key fob, unless it does that with the secondary fob as well. Some models actually use inductive rechargeable keyfobs but you'd probably know that and would have charged it by now.
Yeah, the charge isn’t the problem. It’s the piece of shit electronics in this car. It still starts. It just gives the error and then won’t lock when you turn the car off without starting it and turning it off a couple of times.

yes, let's indeed hope that i have better luck than you.
all that sucks.
Latest quirk is that ever time I get in the car I get an error message saying it doesn’t recognize the key. And the weather stripping is already coming off the driver side rear door after 1300 miles. This is my 6th BMW, but my first SUV. I may be going back to a sedan faster than I thought.

I doubt it. They know they're going to get away with it. These are the same people who were led by Joe Arpaio for years. And, hell, he was pardoned. They have no reason to believe they'll ever be held accountable for anythng.
Arpaio was the Sheriff. This is a different department. The Phoenix chief is pretty no bullshit. I bet she takes care of these pieces of shit.

well, it's done. dealer said they've been getting south carolina cars (x5) in 3-4 weeks of late so we will see how they do on this one.
Hope you have better luck than me. Took Momentum BMW 2.5 months to get me mine. On top of that, all the new technology stuff is really finicky. Mine has already been in the shop three times getting electronic stuff repaired. The latest was they had to replace one of the cameras. Love my X5 when it works, but I should have waited to get it after they worked the kinks out.

Sure. Don’t know how that relates to the percentage of ticket deposits who convert to actual tickets.
Pointing out that they could convert 22k and still have tens of thousands of seats to sell. Austin FC doesn’t even have 22k seats to sell.

Has anyone tried to fly transatlantic on American in the past 2 weeks? Or does anyone have plans/tickets for transatlantic the next 2 months?
All hell is breaking loose from the mechanics going scorched earth after AA sued the union.
Was flying out of PHX to PDX yesterday and the flight was canceled for maintenance while the aircraft was in the air inbound from ORD. It was a mess at Sky Harbor with multiple maintenance cancellations.

What about the trash service have you not liked? There were issues with the recycling trucks because most were out of service due to mechanical problems. That has been resolved.
Trash service in this city is a joke. I moved to Houston in February and it took the city 4 weeks to deliver a trash can to my house and told me it would take 90 days to receive a recycling can. Mid-May and I still haven’t received one. I had to pay someone $150 the other day to haul all my cardboard to the dump because I’ve been accumulating boxes in my garage since February. You can call 311 all you want and it does absolutely nothing. We love living in Houston, but have just come to accept that city services here are a joke.

Guess I should have clarified that this isn’t a quality of life moving. The company is about to IPO and needs to fill out their exec team hence reaching out to me.
Im not going to move because of beaches but curious how bored I will be if it just ok money.

The second best public university in California is UC-Los Angeles.
The second best public university in Texas (and it's a distant second) is Texas A&M.
Let that fucking sink in.
One could make a strong argument at this point that UT Dallas has passed A&M as the second best public university in Texas. Their academic standards and student body profile surpasses A&M’s.

I just moved to Montrose and I used Wayne Lumpkin of Total Electronics Consultants. Really solid dude. Can’t say enough good things about him. He came highly recommended by a family friend. His number is 832.867.0877.

This.
I think one one thing Uber/Lyft could do is input some sort of 911/distress button into their app interface. If you are the customer/rider, it would be a button you could push/text interface that would be kept private between you and the company/authorities. Have the same thing on the driver side. Either party sending the distress call would be kept private from the other. It could warrant a routine traffic stop by an officer that could prevent this sort of thing.
Granted, he wasn’t a real uber driver. But if she was in the uber interface already, her phone still should’ve tracked through their system. Once she saw the child locks didn’t work, if she hits this distress interface an auto call would go out.
Probably a a lot more complicated than I’m making it, but it makes sense
Don’t know about Lyft because I don’t use it, but Uber already has the exact thing you’re talking about.

OK finance and mortgage pros, debating whether or not to post this here or in the stupid wives thread. But anyway- our house is in my name only. All credit cards are in my name only. The only thing her name is on is our bank and investment accounts and her car, because I bought it cash. Why? Because I have a credit rating of 800 and hers must hover around 1. She is financially retarded. After fighting the battle for a dozen or so years to try to get her to get her shit together, I just said fuck it and I pay ALL bills and manage all finances. It has lead to a more harmonious relationship. But she yesterday said “I want to be put on title to the house right away.” I tried to explain that our 2.75% 15yr fixed mortgage is based on my credit and our low LTV. The mortgage co is not going to automatically add a credit risk individual to title under the same terms and conditions. She refused to accept that. Um, that is financing 101. Under no circumstances am I going to lose the sweetheart terms I have just to put her name on it. But before I bother exploring this possibility, can I safely assume the lender (CashCall/IMPAC) is going to laugh in my face? LTV is probably 35-40%.
Which one of you is cheating?

Looks identical to mine. It’s a complete POS. Can’t drive more than ten minutes without getting an error code. If I took it in every single time a get an error warning, I would have to quit my job. Hope you have better luck.
