Got Problems?

Recommended Posts

I dug into the True Car thing this morning. We'll see how it all shakes out.

I hope you have an email account you use especially for singups and things and gave that one to True Car.  I'm a USAA member as well and did that last year,  15 months later I'm still quotes and emails from car dealers!! It was out of control the first month or two with calls and emails from them.   Biggest mistake I made giving them my personal everyday email

I have a new Cobra F6 driver and was supposed to put it in play for the first time today. Thunderstorms rolling into Georgia this morning...

There was a hold up on the F7 for me to test so it is not here yet.  I will head up just as soon as it has arrived so we can compare the F6 and F7 head to head, with pics and your comments to add to my write ups.   

 

On a rant note, the M1 I bought a few weeks ago is with a buddy who is giving it a try to see if he wants to buy it.  Last Thursday I was playing around with the settings and dropped it on the cart path, it took a chip out of the toe, you can't see it at address but it bugs me to no end.  If he doesn't buy it I plan to put it on the bay, it is pristine other than the chip and I believe I can get a pretty good price for it even with the chip.  The pictures will show a excellent condition driver with a pencil lead sized chip on the toe, ugh!

The key to an island vacation with my wife is sunglasses that hide my eyes. Hooters girls on the island as well as a college sorority formal. The menu is well done today.

You're a good contributing member and I'm sure your upcoming review will be as good as any ever laid out here. You do what you do and don't let folks bend you the wrong way.

 

I don't think anybody is being purposely aggressive. That would not look good at all here We're above all that crap and I sure hope it's not beginning now.

I do - so far it has been ok. Was only matched with 3 dealerships and have only heard from 2 of them. Hopefully this continues to be the case.

I discovered yesterday that my bag and 5 hybrid are made of very strong materials neither of which give when they meet under duress.

Taylor Made Stealth 2 10.5 Diamana S plus 60  Aldila  R flex   - 42.25 inches 

SMT 4 wood bassara R flex, four wood head, 3 wood shaft

Ping G410 7, 9 wood  Alta 65 R flex

Srixon ZX5 MK II  5-GW - UST recoil Dart 65 R flex

India 52,56 (60 pending)  UST recoil 75's R flex  

Evon roll ER 5 32 inches

It's our offseason so auditioning candidates - looking for that right mix of low spin long, more spin around the greens - TBD

Uh oh! 

 

If it's any consolation, you are not alone.  I'm traveling to Oregon this weekend, and MmmmmmBuddy is holding new clubs for me to try.

Patio furniture.

 

We'd spent a few bucks on what we thought was a nice outdoor set - a short couch, two chairs and a table - in a faux wicker dark brown that appeared nice.

 

But didn't last more than two seasons....

 

* Stay away from the plastic faux wicker -- it basically disintegrates in the sun and outside.

 

So, rant Part Deux, we check out some stuff online and end up going to Home Depot and order a set that looks good .. and looks durable: all powder coated iron.

 

It gets delivered and I bribe the guys to bring the big box around the back. The one very big box that for some reason I'd _assumed_ contained the four chairs and the one round table. Well .. it did, but .. in many, many well-wrapped pieces that need to be unpacked, sorted out and assembled........

 

Sheesh, just one chair turned into a stupidly loooong project. Oh well.....

We purchase a faux wicker set (four chairs and a table with a central glass top from Costco about 17 years ago of which 12 years was on an unprotected fully exposed deck. Still going strong. It was made by Samsonite when they still made quality stuff. Wife want to replace it just because, lol. Too many honey do lists...

Bought a used WRX. It has some miles on it. But I'm only gonna add to it. Paid a fair price, drive it to Milwaukee and the damn thing burns oil like a boss, and I'm pretty sure it has a head gasket leak or the turbo jacket has a crack. So I told the dude he can have it back and I'll take my $, since he lied to me about no issues. I did look it over and drove it. I used to be a subie tech so I knew what to look for. Just didn't have enough time to find it before I bought it.

I'm not sure I would buy any used WRX from what I've seen of the people driving them.

bought a used car last year, brakes needed to be changed this past weekend.  The wheels had lock nuts on them, and wouldn't you know it there was no key!  Had to pay $40 to have the wheel place brake them loose.

This one was owned by an older traveling salesman. I did a pretty good inspection on it. But only so much I can do in the mud.

 

Anyways. He is working with me if there are any repairs, 75% him 25% me. I'll take that I guess.

My son just threw up in the sink...and it was a lot :(  He didn't want to go to sleep just yet (who would blame him) so we're sitting here watching Pixels, LOL.
