The cars are decent, though the quality control isn’t so great these days. But if you do business with Hyundai Motor Finance, they’ll file false claims about you with credit reporting agencies. They’ll write you letters confirming that you have a zero balance and that your account is closed, and the next day they’ll tell Experian et al. that your account is delinquent. You’ll spend dozens of hours on the phone with their agents who don’t speak English, and your credit will be ruined. It’s not worth the hassle.

The parking for Terminal 1 is literally more than 5 miles (driving) from Terminal 1. I’m wondering why they didn’t just put the parking lot in Connecticut or perhaps Nebraska. Probably would have been cheaper and only marginally less convenient.

I needed to make a few quick cuts with a circular saw and didn’t want to make a mess in the garage, so I set up a table on my driveway. Couldn’t find the extension cord and was about to move back inside when I suddenly remembered that my Ioniq 9 came with a V2L adapter. Plugged it in, made my cuts, moved inside just in time for the rain to come and clean the sawdust off my driveway. V2L ftw!

I reported multiple listings from the same seller, who is selling 10+ “vintage” Seiko watches which all happen to have the same serial number and the same typo on the case-back (“Water Resistan” with no “t” at the end). Clearest, easiest case ever of somebody selling phony garbage. eBay looked into it and said “that’s fine.”

eBay is full of fake watches because eBay loves selling fake watches.

Tried to resize the bracelet on my new T200. Watched 5 YouTube videos and I absolutely could not get the collars back in. Had to do the walk of shame to the jeweler, who is reassembling now.

Took my 2026 iX in for service yesterday because the seat warmers stopped working. Apparently, there was a software update that secretly disabled the seat warmers, but still allows you to pretend to turn them on? Like you hit the “button” on the main screen to turn on seat warmers, it indicates that they’re on, but they don’t actually turn on because they’re secretly disabled in a sub-sub-menu. Who is this “feature” for, and why was it turned on by default?

I want to build a watch for my daughter. She’s 17 and wants a “real watch” (tired of her Apple Watch). Looking for inspiration - please share your builds if you’ve made a watch that you think a teen girl would like.
