so..long story short back in july we had 2 ductless mini splits put in the house mainly for cooling and some heating but i tell you what this past winter unless it got below 20 they did a hell of a job keeping the house warm, probably saved us $500-1k in oil, January was bitter cold here so we used 80 gallons, this whole past year we used 265 gallons total

wow just had a guy bitch about the price of a key for his 2011 F150, 139.95 with programming, he couldn't understand the fact that there is a chip in the key because his truck has manual everything, i had to explain it 3 times that i can cut you a key but without programing it won't start it. He though that was a ripoff. I told him thats actually cheap, more modern vehicles keys are 2,3 or even 400 dollars OTD

For a dealer, that's not bad at all.

That's cool you're so close. He's a good dude... give you the shirt off his back kind of guy. He's the one that pretty much gave me two T5's at 200 dollars.

That reminds me... one day I need to get to making that video for Youtube's.


BASTARDS!! My upholstery is out of stock still.....

Small sidenote: We have AAA "towing," and upgraded to the premium pkg due to getting one longer distance tow, which we needed once. Part of the Premium Pkg is a significant rebate on "lost key" replacement.

$140 for a new Strattec / Ford key, cut and programmed, is a great price.
Ford dealer in Chester wanted $250 for a cut and programmed factory key for a 2008 Focus for my son. I told him to forget it at that cost. I got a key, cut it myself, and used ForScan to program the car to the keys.
For $140 I would have just got the key to save me the bother.

That's a nice savings.
ROI on that will only be a couple years.

Ohio.... yep, I'm going to need those bolts. These damn things are soft. They might look OK, but I'm afraid I'll have a hard time getting them out.
