11/14 - Thoroughbred Thursday

[sackofpotatoes]

Thats what i like to hear. I'm not opposed to getting a larger version than the Kona, its just that the Kona is cheaper. In fact there is one thats one year old with 12k miles sitting at a local dealership for 15k right now. But i'm not ready to buy yet, got a good bit of saving to do first. And I don't REALLY want to buy a new one, but i do REALLY want the warranty that comes with the new ones, so i'm arguing with myself on that point still.

I don't have a Kona, but my husband and I both have Hyundais. I have a Sonata that is almost 10 years old and he has a Santa Fe. They have both been excellent vehicles, my Sonata has been the most reliable car I've ever owned. I feel they are a great value.

Did anyone get any account warning emails from Amazon about scripts overnight? I didn't, personally, but I've seen several people that have and I'm just curious if this is some widespread thing or not.

So, I think the 100k warranty is regardless of new or not. Mine still had that warranty - backed by Hyuandi AND the dealership I bought it from.

Coolbeans, yeah i think you have to get a "certified pre-owned" to get the warranty to carry over. I'd much rather get one thats a year or two old with 10-30k miles and save a wad of cash if i can still have the warranty.

I didn't, but I remember a couple people in here a week or so ago saying they got them at that time.

yeah, mine was 16k certified pre owned Wasn't bad for the deal. I overall love it. Boyfriend doesn't love the center console - he doesn't feel like he has anywhere to put his elbow on long trips. But I overall don't have issues,

Nope. I wonder what would cause that?

Just the usual boilerplate emails that get sent out about not using human intelligence to complete HITs or whatever. I don't have a copy to share, but it's the same one that always gets posted.

Upon calling Amazon Payments, the lady said they are still working on it. If anyone got a more detailed answer, please share.

Someone ( @coffeeowl ? ) suggested maybe it was one single batch they were all working on and the requester was... unhappy/confused/uninformed at the speed it got done?

Looks like they've improved since those kind of complains.
Here's the inside of a new Santa Fe

and here's the inside of a Kona

The armrest in this one does look rather on the small side.

No HIT's caught within the past 20 minutes, This is odd. I'm adding a ton of stuff to panda today and still cant get anything.

Today's National Days:

National Pickle Day - what a great day! Pickles make a lot of things for me, whether it be hamburgers, chicken sandwiches and even extra pickles in my favorite roast beef sub.

National Spicy Guacamole Day - I'm the runt of the family because in a city with quality mexican food restaurants almost on every significant street intersection, I hate guac. I don't know how it happened, it just did while the rest of the family loves guac. I don't even eat avocado but I"m really good at buying it for the family to make homemade guac.

National Family Pajama Day - it says to wear pajamas all day and do some activities together as a family this evening all while wearing pajamas. Sounds strange to me except for the one family pajama christmas music video that was created a few years ago and was posted to Youtube.

he mostly drives a silverado - trucks have huge, high, wide center consoles that are very comfy to rest your arm on.
