Just did the first Librela shot for our dog. Haven’t seen much difference but heard it can take 2-3 shots before noticeable benefit.

I had the 550 and traded it for a sequoia. The LC/550 was too small for me.

I had a LC200 and should have kept that. Right size and bulletproof and worth more now than when I sold it.

re: Torpedo in my Zoysia

I had a small amount my first year with zoysia. The whole reason I went with zoysias was due to the ability to treat torpedo grass.

I had torpedo in my centipede 15 years ago and had to utilize the nuclear option.

Quinclorac works. I think I hit it every 10 days or so until I didn’t see it. It may stunt your zoysia but won’t kill it. I spot treated.

This is a huge win for when I buy them and when I sell them. Having to mail the physical pass or arrange a meet-up was always a PITA.

re: Legit Toyota dealers in Louisiana

I just got a new Toyota, so a few datapoints.

Team Toyota - garbage. Car had been sitting on their lot for a bit. I go look at it one evening. As I pull in, I see the manager driving the car out of the lot, by himself. I walk in and am told “you can see it in a few minutes, someone just took it for a test drive. It was a Monday night and I was the only one there. Those stupid games waste my time. I gave them the numbers I was driving to MS to buy that week and said I’d prefer to keep it local if they’d match. They wouldn’t. I drove to Mississippi and bought as they texted and called thinking I was bluffing.

Greg Leblanc - nice, communicative, but just couldn’t make the numbers work on trade-in.

Negotiated one at Shapen Toyota in E TX and they were genuine and made a great deal. I just found a similar deal a few hours closer.

Bought from a MS dealer in Brandon. They were fine. Some dumb add ons but was still the best deal.

USAA here


I have USAA for homeowners, but just dropped their auto. Assumed they would be competitive and that was a mistake. More coverage through Geico for less than half the price.

Qatar did the same. Notice they haven’t been bombed during the last several rounds. These Gulf countries are just paying their ransom to not be bombed.

I have had no bad experiences. Define sleazy tactics.


Had the vehicle I was looking for online for a certain price, well below sticker. I went to the dealer and asked about said vehicle not mentioning the online advertised price. Same sales person as my previous purchase. Told them I was buying within a few days and I don’t like all the back and forth, so what could they sell the vehicle for? They came back with the “since you’re a repeat buyer, my sales manager is willing to cut a good deal for you” bs and gave me a price 5k over sticker. I mentioned the online price and they tried crawfishing, but I told them thanks, but no thanks and bought one later that day a few miles away.

I bought from them once, but not again. Went back a 2nd time and was turned off by their sleazy tactics.

If you think BR is high, try Nola. Had multiple quotes and the cheapest single stage 3 ton was $11k.

I’ve been wondering if his angle with Xi was “the blockade will continue until the regime is gone. So you can be with us or against us, but being against us will prolong the Chinese pain.”

My parents raised me different. I was valedictorian and spoke at graduation. Just because I had the RIGHT to do something didn’t mean I SHOULD do something.

I represented my school, family, and community and did so in a classy, positive and motivating way. Graduating is about celebrating great teachers that impacted your life and reflecting on the great friendships you made, not lecturing others to share your views.

What about 2022 Lexus GX?


No, that’s the 4.6L V8.

ETA: they used to name them by displacement, GX460 = 4.6L, LX570 = 5.7L. That changed with the move from the 150/200 Land Cruiser platform to the 250/300. This recall only applies to GX550 (LC250) and LX600s (LC300).
