  1. Well, yeah, but not made to be a clone trooper. Remember, Boba Fett was Jango's payment - one unaltered clone of himself that grew at a normal rate.
  2. How have the 2004 and 2005 collections been in the cabinet for 26 years?
  3. I don’t think she ages slowly. She ages normally. The clones age quickly.
  4. What repo man? There’s no loan!
  5. They aren't a dealership. They sell direct to consumer. That is part of the problem. All the things dealers do for you, the end buyer is required to do. And that is mostly because dealers don't want to allow Tesla to sell direct to consumers in Texas. They like being the middle man. They don't want people to order direct from Ford, GM, Toyota, etc. (and really, the legacy automakers don't want people to order direct from them either). So the laws won't allow Tesla Corporation to be a dealer in Texas, and the laws won't actually allow Tesla to directly sell to consumers in Texas, so shit like this happens. Not excusing Tesla, they fucked up. But if Texas would allow their sales model, there would be a lot more avenues for redress for people like wild_turkey.
  6. Really should have shopped that rate; we went through UFCU and the APR was about 40% lower than what Tesla was quoting. We also sold my wife’s previous car to CarMax instead of trading because they gave us about $3500 more than Tesla was offering for the Trade. But that’s a shitty situation. I honestly don’t know how they did that; they wouldn’t even arrange delivery for my wife’s car (also delivered June 2nd) until they confirmed receipt of our funds from UFCU. I had to actually get proof of the wire and send to them because they were claiming they didn’t have it in their (Tesla) system.
  7. Pretty much. My kids are too young for vaccines and my wife is pregnant so don’t want to take chances.
  8. I did this for the first half of the season. Baby #3 due in November, so you know, poor planning on my part.
  9. Yeah. Fuck all the people choosing not to get vaccinated. Last year was on the virus. This year is one them.
  10. Did you put fresh batteries in the garage remote?
  11. Team no spoilers here. I feel dirty for agreeing with Derka about anything, but facts are stubborn things.
  12. Go back to MN with that take. Wait, you're in the unpopular food opinions thread. Carry on.
  13. Less than the Gulf of Mexico being on fire?
  14. My oldest has a “pee tree” in the backyard and has no problems peeing on just about any tree when nature calls and we are out snd about. I encourage it.
  15. Good. Planning to go to Jazzfest in Oct, was wondering what the response was there.
  16. Look who was prescient. And look who wasn’t. A lot can change in a month.
  17. Pretty sure it hit 101 yesterday (Augsut 1st) before the storms cooled it down. At least according to Chikage's twitter.
  18. I got a couple of breakthrough infections downpours at my place at 2222/Bull Creek
  19. California will get nothing and like it!
  20. Agreed. I was very annoyed to find out that it wasn't already installed. But after the annoyance went away, the tool itself is so useful I've gotten over the annoyance. It's basically an analogy for the whole delivery experience (you can go back on this thread and see what we dealt with). It was very annoying in the moment, but once the moment has passed the utility of it makes the annoyances seem less of an issue.
