I came to the same discovery. I prefer a sales rep through a truck, 1 to give them business, and 2 so I establish a rapport for any warranty claims. I found a shop who put me in touch with a truck that runs the 91 corridor, got what I needed ordered so it all worked out.

I would agree. Unfortunately the tool I'm looking for, while not being made by them, is only sold and branded under the Mac name. The lady at Mac corporate was reluctant to give me any contact info to an independent truck without an affiliation to a shop.

Reply to Is it safe/legal to swim across the Connecticut River? by RedditMaster679

Legal, yes. Safe, absolutly not. It's known for having brutal undertow, strong current, and submerged dead fall. Many have drowned in the river. I won't kayak it with waders because it would be over for me if I went in, even with a PFD. Frankly I wouldn't want to even let that water touch my body. It's nasty.

Reply to Question for in state Bowhunters by steinrog

If you can call the field office running the course I would. My buddy had a similar issue with the firearm registration and he called and got a spot. He initially registered and had to no show for some family issues and they wouldn't let him re register because his account got flagged. He was told that people from some anti hunting organizations had been registering for the classes and then no showing to keep people who need the class from getting in. But after talking to someone he was able to get into the next one. I got my firearm cert during early covid and it was pretty easy to get into for me so I can't share the same sentiment.

I don't but I also shouldn't have to wait until a threat is inside my house is my point. We should be stand your ground, not just castle doctrine. On top of it, we're a duty to retreat state too. So if you're being car jacked or robbed in your own driveway, you have to basically let it happen because it's "not in your dwelling".

If CT didn't have the laws it had, I'd be more than willing to protect my property. Do I want to kill someone? Absolutly not. But if you break into my car to use my garage door opener to gain access to my house or go on a joyride with my car and make me liable for damages? Yeah I might have some choices to make. See the issue is, when someone is breaking into your car, they don't notify you first what they're after. So you're breaking into my car, I can only assume you're taking away the tool which gets me to and from my livelihood every day. Sure. Could be a baby monitor in there. Could be some clothes. Could be a baby in there too. Doesn't make a difference. The thief should "reflect on what's valuable to them and their life." maybe we should start taking our belongings from in our car and leave them out outside in a basket like cookies for Santa. No more damaged property and thieves still get to steal my reading glasses and dunkin napkins.

Aim for the leg gets you attempted murder, assault with a deadly weapon, and a lawsuit. Unfortunately the way things go, you're better off taking the risk on a murder/manslaughter charge. Gangs send messages, using violence to prove a point is never a good approach. Dead people have a really hard time reoffending.

Reply to Cash for Houses? by imeanwhynotsrsly

It's usually wholesalers or flippers. They'll lowball the daylights out of you most of the time. They usually cold call people with multiple properties, people who have defaulted on their mortgage and homes where someone died (elderly). I know folks that have done it and you usually take a hit on the price but most of these guys can close FAST. For the folks I've known to do it, it was for their late parents homes that had tons of issues and they just wanted it gone.

Reply to Is Middletown a safe place for a woman living alone? by JenjaBebop

It's pretty safe. Some beggars in the main atreet/south main area. I've encountered the same guy on multiple occasions asking people to barrow jumper cables. Don't hang out in the north end and it's side streets. And don't hang out in the woods/powerlines by the reservoir by yourself. You'll be good. It's a college town so there's stuff to do and it's safe. It's a great town. Frankly if It was commutable for my gf, it's probably tied with another town as our top town we'd want to live in.

Reply to reliable older model used cars for Vermont weather by bramletabercrombe

Front wheel drive with snow tires is more than ample but I would only do it if it either had a good traction control system or a limited slip differential. Older 95-early 00s volvos are good for this. My wagon has a 4 speed auto with winter mode and my sedan that I'm rebuilding has a 5 speed manual with a limited slip differential. They far exceed any awd with all seasons I've ever owned. Best vehicle I've ever owned was a 03 outback with snow tires it was almost unfair how good it was but they rot like cray up in New England.

Edit: a civic is honestly perfect as long as you have snow tires. Light cars with narrow snow tires are your best friend.
