New England B.S. Thread

That’s the nicest compliment I’ve heard for a dealer in quite some time.

 

It was the most polite way to say that they're generally crewed with people inclined and trained to be pathological liars that I could think of.

 

My dealer was funny. I liked the sales team I worked with. service has been horrible since.

 

Same here. Every time I go there I wonder how it's possible that they drop the ball so consistently. I've had so many issues with that department that the owner of the dealership gave me his cell number.

 

Zactly

 

I’ve got an iPhone 6s that works fine. It’s the camera that sucks. And that would probably be the only reason why I would get a new phone is for a better camera. But I can’t justify spending $1000

 

so, I do have an interesting take on the camera thing. The new cameras are REALLY good. I used to shoot when I was back in high school/college and a decent camera body and lenses is close to a grand. You can definitely make do with less, a D200 body and a mid quality lens can be had now for about 350 ballpark. BUT if you’re spending 300 for a phone. Then 350 and change (bags, other lenses, memory card, grips, etc) for a camera setup as a rookie/amateur, suddenly a 750-1k phone that does everything, fits in your pocket and only needs one cable for everything is quite appealing!

Now add in the amateurs who need phots taken. No, not THOSE amateurs. My wife for example is a yoga instructor. The gyms she teaches at, her one offs like a yoga in the park, etc she needs publicity photos. All the amateur jewelry makers on Etsy. eBay resellers. Bike shops, car sales, everyone that needs to take pictures. A second camera with additional cords and batteries and nonsense vs a really good camera in a phone that’s connected to the internet and has one, standardized (F U apple) cable connection. And you can just Bluetooth the photos to your computer (again F U apple).

 

We are going to update my wife to a 12 in the spring. She does all our business' social media, videos etc... Her instagram stories for the weddings get us a ton of inquiries every weekend. If she had better ability to show it off with better night lighting, and more detailed shots, I only imagine it will help us project an even nicer image.

I'm excited to see it in action, the 11 is a huge step up from the 10 even. We both have 10's now, but my cousin has an 11 and side by side its ridiculous how much better the 11 is.

Sometimes I wonder if I’m using I wrong..

 

I just got a brand new frame in late July. And while they were at it I had them do my serpentine belt. All my exhaust gaskets were replace also and truck is running great

 

Belt.is super easy do DIY. Maybe 15 minute job at most. Probably 5 minutes with the engine out

 

Got a good deal on a 02 Sequoia that runs great. Took it to Wally world (walmart) yesterday to get it new sneakers. They wouldn't put the tires on it because of the rust. They said putting it on the lift is dangerous. Only one spot of rust. Now we have to pay extra to get them put on somewhere else. The appointment was at 4 and they closed at 5. I think they just wanted to get out of there.

As far as phones go - I had an iphone for many years since 4S. I got a Moto g stylus for under 200. Great battery life, good cameras, dolby sound. There is another Moto that has an even better battery life, couple days on a charge, but I wanted the stylus to use drawing apps. Sorry Apple, loved you forever since the first Macintosh I had with flight simulator, ha.

As far as phone service goes - at one point I couldn't use my phone inside my house, but it would work outside my house. Difficult when you have interviews!! I called Verizon and told them that was the case. They did something on their end and I had service inside ever since.

 

Makes perfect sense, plus a lot easier to carry even just phone vs a camera itself.

My sister does boot camp workouts...self employed. Just cues up the music routine, hits one thing, and it's done. Does all her billing on it as well.

 

My next buy for work is a small BT tenkeyless keyboard they go for like 20 bucks. Show up to meetings at work with just my phone and that thing and be able to take notes on one note without carrying my computer around.

 

Sprayed the truck with woolwax about 3 weeks ago, but forgot to pull the skids. Pulled them off today, sprayed inside the cross members, and went over everything that was already sprayed again quickly.

Also got around to re-torquing the ubolts since initially installing the new suspension, as well as put my wheel well splash guards back in. Glad I got all this done because Ill be out of commission for about 6-8 weeks after going under the knife this upcoming Wednesday. Happy all the winter prep is done.

 

Gave in and hooked up the winter gear to the tractor and treated all the fuel I have for this winter.

going to get cold it seems before much snow.

 

If any of you guys need a subwoofer for your house here is a good deal

Question for the Ford guys here. I ordered a set of brighter halogen bulbs for my dad's F-250. The bulb type is H13 (9008), which is a dual filament bulb. My question is, if the top portion of the headlamp is both high/low beam, what's the bottom portion do?

 

Both the top and bottom are dual filament and switch between high and low beam. The bottom bulb is more diffused, the top is more of a spot.

 

So do I need 2 sets of H13s?
