Posted to here and FBM on Friday morning, waiting for the posting police at work to approve it. Zero movement so far, so I posted to CL. Did I price this thing wrong? I know I might be a bit on the high end, but it is very clean and shows well in the pictures and in person. Maybe it's just a little more unique as far a buyers than I thought and it will take the right person? Has anyone ever done the boosted listings on FBM?

$10.7k outside of CR. My no haggle price here is $10.2k, since due to relo plan I don't get more money in my pocket if I get more than this, but below this and I start losing money. Very clean inside and out, especially after the detail from Tim, with almost zero known mechanical issues, drives like new. Tires are at 70%, oil was just changed at a Chevy dealer. Premium Navi (top trim) w/'safety package 2 (backup camera, front/rear parking sensors, LDW and FCW). Leather heated front seats. I don't know much about the Navi as we just use our phones, but I think you need an active (paid?) OnStar subscription for it to work; just an FYI if this is a must. Full gallery can be seen here - https://pbase.com/timothylauro/2013_chevy_volt_gallery Fully disclosure for CR. One of the tires was a little leaky, and the charge door sometimes sticks a little. We took it to a dealer last week for the oil change. They seemed to have adjusted the door as it's working now. The must have re-mounted the tire as it has lost 0 psi in the last week or so. I'm available most weekends and evenings to show the car.

Sounds like here, work and FBM is the ticket. I'll keep CL in my back pocket in case I don't get some good interest over the weekend. I don't care about the $5, it just sounds like it didn't fix any of the issues over there as most people here are still not suggesting it. I sat there once for 20 minutes once for a quote before I left empty handed while everyone working there looked like they were super busy playing candy crush on their phones. That place feels like the reception room for hell that Satan wasn't even clever enough to design that well. Whoever made it feel like a non-sanitary hospital despite being clean should win some kind of award. I hope they never run out of brownish tinted lighting or they are going to completely lose the feel of the place. Not stealing any thunder at all, it's good to get some pre-movement on it. I already got 1 PM about it.

I don't sell or buy cars that often, so I'm pretty out of the loop. I searched but could only find 1 thread from 2016. http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/showthread.php?t=125648 Does the still hold true, or whats the latest and greatest way to sell? This is for a 2013 Volt, so relatively speaking pretty normal; nothing with a unique following our super cheap car territory.

We are moving towards the ~34" curved screens at work; I got one last year and am IN LOVE with it. As they are trickling in people have the choice of 2-24" monitors or 1-34"... not many people are choosing dual monitors. Being able to put 2 whatever's (spread sheet, ppt, data-trace, etc.) next to each other on the same screen and they are each larger than my laptop screen is game changing. Then, with your laptop docked as a 3rd minor document or even just file explorer(s) is just icing on the cake. I have some Dell xyz123. I'm sure everyone is making a decent version of this right now.

Ah, I'm using mine in a low wall cube farm so open back is no go. I personally prefer speakers as I don't really like the 'in the head' feel of headphones... maybe open back are less so like this? So, generally I'm only using headphones when I'm in public spaces and speakers at home.

We have a TCL TV w/ built in roku and it has a headphone jack on the bottom of it. I think it automatically mutes the TV when something is plugged in. IDK if it works with all TV functions/inputs, or just the Roku apps, as we've not used it. I'm also not sure if any of the standalone Roku support that. But, seems like it could be worth looking into.

Hey, run what you've brung right. Glad you are having fun with it. Which rouge amp do you have? Outside of some low power SE(T) I was looking at the Sphinx. What turn tables do you have, how do you like them? You should stop over sometime and check them out! It's been a while since we've seen each other anyways. Those speakers look interesting, especially the cone material. Are you running stereo only from that receiver or also full HT? I've been struggling with either keeping everything separate or somehow integrate. I've previously had a full HT setup with mid level stuff. I've now got one of the Vizio 5.1 (with true separate sub & rear surround) hooked up to the TV, and just have the 2 channel completely separate. This is actually serving well, especially since I don't watch movies as much as I used to. Does that seems like... too much sub for that setup, especially sharing a wall with someone? Did you look at the stuff from Rythmik at all? I was thinking about a sub for the KEF's and had it somewhat narrowed down to one of theirs. http://www.rythmikaudio.com/ Going full bore, I like it! How do you like Atmos? Especially since you went directly from non-Atmos and added the speakers I'm interested if you noticed a big difference? I got the same ear cups on your recommendation and like them. I think the only thing I might do is get the ones that are canted to play around with that, see if it can pull the sound-stage a little out of my head and in front of me at all. How do you like the Sennheiser's compared to the ATs?

At work I have Audio Technica ATH-M50x being driven by a Schiit Modi and Vali. For home I have some KEF LS50Ws. Recently I was also lucky enough to get in with the latest round of the Zu Omen Dirty Weekend. They just came last week. I'm driving them with a NAD C338 for now. I'm listening to both of them with their built in streaming via Spotify. Long term I'm looking at some of the lower powered single ended amps for the Zus, and also some turntable. So, what do you have? What do you like it dislike about them?

We had a metal roof put in last year and went with Able for a standing seam metal roof and love it. They were the only ones that we talked to that said they could do it on the pitch of our roof; 4/12 at the higher point but only 2/12 on the lower pitch. They had to use a taller standing seam due to the lower pitch; what they call their commercial version. The custom form the panels on site, which was pretty neat to see. From start to finish through a service call (small water leak around the vent stack during an especially heavy rain) they have been great. We did go with a lighter color to keep the solar rejection up, a cream or off white, and with the trees above and around our house it seems like it will need cleaned (at least) yearly to keep it looking nice. It did change the sound of when it rains, and while it might be louder, it's not noticeable enough for me to say it's an issue. Our bedroom is in an old attic so the drywall is right up against the roof, and our bed is right below that. It's not loud enough to be an issue with sleeping. We actually really like the way it sounds. I can't remember how many squares our house was supposed to be if we went with shingles. The footprint is about 20*40 with large overhangs. We were quoted $5500~$6500 for good shingles. The metal roof was about $15k. We are planning to be in our house for a very long time, so the payoff is there to (hopefully) never have to replace the roof again. Some of the stamped products do seem like they could be good. A coworker just got his four-square down in German village done with I think slate style ones and it looks great in the pictures he showed me.

That weird grey can look very different depending on the light, never good, just different. I wonder if that's what you saw? https://www.google.com/search?q=honda+civic+type+r+sonic+grey+pearl&tbm=isch

Oh wow, that mesh one would be awesome. We rented a Jeep out in Moab with tube doors and a bikini top; probably the best setup on a car like that.

Can anyone briefly explain about why you would want to put more/max into HSA? We are doing ~20% towards retirement now, split between 401k (what we need to match) and nearly maxing out Roth IRA via our investment adviser. Why would it make sense to shift, or in the future when we increase put it towards HSA? Note: We are far from maxing 401k contributions, and at least I can do traditional or Roth 401k.

I can't say which specific kits, but any purely mechanical ones I've used has always been a PITA and the hydraulic ones I've had much more success with.

Except for they will pay their marginal tax rate on any additional money they make.

Oh look, someone else who doesn't understand taxes. EDIT: Wait, how in the actual hell does someone who makes $200k~$500k/year (or married $400k~$600k/year) not have a basic understanding of math and how our tax system works? Do you drive a Mercury Cougar?

If he's actually in Gahanna, looks maybe like this. https://library.municode.com/oh/gahanna/codes/code_of_ordinances?nodeId=PTELEVENPLZOCO_TITTHREEZO_CH1147REDI_1147.09OREPA I'm in the same boat for Columbus when we go to redo our garage, but limited to 720 sq ft.

I'll go first! I'd be able use cards to localish types of restaurants, hardware stores, Bed, Bath & Beyond, Amazon (goes without saying?) I have Woodhosue Spa - $100 Charles Penzone - $100 Bath & Bodyworks - $25 Sweet Carrot - $20 Bravo/Brio - $25 Cheesecake Factory $25 Darden (Olive Garden, Longhorn, Redlobster, etc) - 2 cards $15 +$25 = $40

So, I'm sure some people here have some they aren't likely to use. Idea for ease of exchange/sale Post up what you have that you don't want. Maybe post the kinds of cards you might actually use to give others and idea. If you want something, quote the person and they can see if you have something they want in exchange. Or if you don't have any to trade, just say you want to buy it. You can also just straight buy for a given %. How's 90% sound? Round down to the nearest dollar so we aren't paying in quarters e.g. $25*0.9=22.50, buyer pays $22. Everyone uses this rate, again just to make everything easier. If there is some price difference, that's paid at the 90% e.g. Tom has a $100 card but Bob has a $50 card. Exchange at even dollar-to-dollar for the first $50 and Bob also gives Tom $45.

I never watched that one, but after checking out the season 2 trailer, I'll have to check it out if I can get it. The First, at least in season 1, is almost all set on Earth about the endeavor of trying to launch, get the mission to go.
