  1. Who else read this and wants to get into the title insurance business. Let’s get together and rake in the dough!
  2. Love me some parkway. So do the kids. So does the wife. It hits on all cylinders.
  3. She’s in love with it. And she was really soured on the whole delivery process. But she says it was worth it now.
  4. It’s so that the winners bracket team gets to be home team if needed for the final game.
  5. Should have checked car max just to see. I thought Tesla was giving us a good deal on my wife’s trade; but car max offered us $3600 mor (which was about 25% more than the trade through Tesla). I tried to get her to take that to Henna to get an extra $500 but she said that was too much of a hassle. And I guess Wednesday was delivery day in Austin; that’s when my wife got hers as well. Glad your experience was smoother than ours.
  6. Probably. I moved here to be closer to family. I’ll pm you.
  7. Hi neighbor! I'm in the house that cleared the back yard/put in retaining walls and STILL has my crushed granite being washed away be these storms down towards driftwood drive. It'd probably roll down the hill to me.
  8. Whoa. You sure you aren’t psychic?
  9. We bought a house in Hudson Bend with lake access in 2018. Remodeled it, with the intent to move in. When it was just about finished my wife (who was newly pregnant) broke down and said she couldn’t do the commute to the kids preschool/the Y in NW Austin (where she was a fitness teacher). We pivoted and turned it into an AirBNB for 2 years, then sold the in 2020 and used the proceeds for the down payment on our current home near 2222/360. Best thing we did I think was not move in.
  10. Cool pic, but, uh, wut?
  11. According to my rain gauge (78731, near 2222/360), we got over an inch in about half an hour of storm. That was some heavy ass rain.
  12. Update: They were able to verify everything (after I emailed my lender and had them do an ACH trace), and actually dropped the car off at 6:00 p.m. this evening, so we have it. It's pretty cool, but the wife is still pretty frustrated with the delivery process.
  13. Now, supposed day of delivery, Tesla is saying that they haven't been able to verify funds from our lender (UFCU), even though we have a confirmation from 5/28 that the loan funded and was sent to Tesla. Car can't be delivered until that is verified. I have purchased plenty of cars in my life, and I can deal with the dealerships games. At least there you can walk out the door with a car, instead of paying literally tens of thousands of dollars with nothing to show for it like we are right now.
  14. Fairfield today: this is bot a fair field!
  15. Nice. Father's day is coming up. Mind sharing where you got that so I can send a link to my wife with some strong hints?
  16. Psych! We uploaded everything, but never go the link to schedule. Went ahead and sold the wife's current car thinking it would be here this weekend. Finally we call and get a hold of someone live; even though the website said we had submitted everything needed, there was an issue with their system reading our insurance card we had uploaded. When we asked what the issue was, it was that the file name wasn't what they expected it to be. Not that it was the wrong format, or corrupted, simply the file name was named incorrectly (we had simply uploaded what our insurance company sent us). My wife's reaction upon hearing that: "You guys are trying to send people to Mars and you can't make a computer read a pdf?" Anyway, we got it cleared up on the phone, and delivery is scheduled for Wednesday. So we sold the car about 4 days too early. Guess my wife will have to chauffeur me to work tomorrow so she has a car during the day.
  17. El Paso out there taking the "we aren't really part of Texas" thing a little too seriously.
  18. Something something South Austin's mom approves.
