TGPWS 9: The Realm of Weirdness

[RamblinRover]

Ok got the insurance bill and just noticed how much more I'm paying for the X than the other cars - It with just the basic coverage cost more than my wifes Durango with full - I called and they said they had studies showing in a wreck a X causes more damage than other suv's and so costs more to insure because the pay outs if you do wreck will be higher - sounds like crap to me anyone else have similar issues?

 

[Prime]

I pay $1200/yr with zero deductible comprehensive 500 collision.

Well if you ever find your way out here I’ll fix you up with a proper white pineapple and some non-imported poke and kalua pig. Also have local beers and rums but don’t know anyone making whiskey. I was lucky enough to live the first 40 years of my life in Colorado. It is so beautiful that there aren’t many places nicer to move to (sorry Texterras) plus somehow I developed a career in volcanoes, so heck.View attachment 27019

Sounds like grounds for a XN Christmas Luau....

Lmao. Ask for the studies that prove it and change insurance companies.

Does anyone remember the thread where people were able to override a bad speed sensor that was disabling 4wd? I think it was a fuse that was pulled or some trickery going on..

Holy shiat. I just realized that My X is 20 years old. Still out there, wheeling like a champ.

How To: 4x4 with faulty Wheel speed sensor

Ok there have been a few people who have been asking how you can have 4WD with a faulty /broke wheel speed sensor. This initially happened to me during a water crossing where I snapped the passenger rear wheel speed sensor and needed to switch into 4 Low later on in the day step 1: with The...

This attitude needs to die.

Ex got a replacement Pathy. 2019 SL. Fully loaded. Nice car. Really nice. 60k miles.

Not a truck but better than a Rouge.

Also, the art of negotiating with car dealers is dead. And I has a sad. They've all gone to this "no haggle pricing" model. Which is great for them. Because they can just price things and sit pretty. Sucks for those of us that actually enjoy the haggle.

 

[Prime]

In related news, I want my drivers side mirror to dip when I put it in reverse! That's dope.

 

[Prime]

Bimmers have been doing that for ages. I was surprised to see it on a Nissan.

you get me a job I can make the money I need with 40 hours a week I'll be right there

 

[relentless044]

 

[BEEFY]

Still snowing. Plowed some just so it would get to built up. Probably close to 8".

 

[Prime]

Yeah.... Not really my department.

 

[Prime]

Also, thats really the fault of the employer not the employee.

This is the third person I’ve counter offered at above my asking price just because they annoy me.

If I had something listed for 75 and someone offered to come get it for 60? Sold. Gimme dat money.

It says right in the ad I priced it low intentionally to not deal with haggling and the price is firm. These people don’t read though.

 

[Prime]

If you said firm, that's definitely different

 

[Xterrorista]

I'm from TX, firm and it's still listed means you may take less. I wait till I'm in person to nit pick prices tho.

Favorite thing about the wife’s bmw - though it’s passenger side not driver. Next favorite acceleration. Aside from those though it just doesn’t feel right with the automatic and too much electronic bs.

We never get the cool shiat. Article is a little old but my point is the same lol

Ford Everest, SUV Based on Ranger, Debuts Everywhere but the U.S.

This body-on-frame SUV pairs the Ranger's tough appearance with a more livable cabin, but it will remain forbidden fruit for the United States.

Which is dumb, because it would probably sell very well here.
