Miracle Toyota

Hi everybody,

What’s the consensus on Miracle Toyota? They’re promising yo have a RAV4 built out to my specification, and seems most willing to work on price. They have a mandatory Murphy Advantage 2k charge, but even with that, they’re giving me a hefty discount, and good value for my trade in.

Wondering if anyone has anything positive or negative to share before paying a deposit.

Thanks!

I still can't find a job

As the title implies, I still can't find a job eventho I tried applying to everything in walking distance and anywhere that does have a job I can't get to in time because the car still isn't repaired. I'm getting desperate, our power is about to get cut off tonight and neither me or my dad has any money to pay it. He's not getting his VA until Friday and I don't think I can survive that long in this heat without power. So I'm here and I'm begging, I am desperate enough to ask any of you kind enough to please DM me so I can send you my CA, I know this may break this subreddit's rules but I don't know where else to go, I don't need much, just 50 bucks, 30 for the power and the leftover 20 for food and water. I wouldn't do this unless I am that desperate...

How to help your city

I’ve noticed a particular vibe about how change gets treated in this city. There are too many barriers to entry is something I’ve heard. Change didn’t happen before so we shouldn’t be trying.

Yesterday I met Tyler at the Public County Commission that meets at 2-5 on the first and third Tuesdays of each month. He in one 5 minute talk with the commission now has the ball rolling, no guarantee, on a skatepark for Richmond county. He’s just a guy passionate about skating and having a space to do it.

He moved a needle yesterday in a 5 minute conversation.

Get involved. Go to these meetings. When they say something you agree with LET THEM KNOW if they say something you disagree with LET THEM KNOW. It’s a public form that for sure has decorum rules to be followed. But this is the space to go do it. The less we show up to these the less our voices get heard.

Bad experience with The Blood Connection

I am here because I would like to share my recent experience with The Blood Connection, a Southeastern non-profit that collects blood.

The place where I live had them come in to do blood drawings advertised as donate blood, get $70. I went in and donated blood. It was a smooth experience. When I left, the worker there told me the points would be on my account in less than 12 hours. I logged on within 2 hours and I had gotten points, but it was only enough points equal to a $30 gift card, not $70 as advertised.

I emailed them to let them know of this mix up. No response. I called them three times on three different days. Was put on hold for ~30 minutes each time. I messaged them on Instagram and Facebook. No response. I commented on a recent Facebook post and they deleted my comment.

I know they still technically compensated me for my donation, but I thought this was pretty wild. It has been roughly a week since I donated. I just thought I would share my experience.

Do you have a borzoi!? Can we see it!?

Odd thought tonight. I have never in my 24 years of life seen an actual borzoi in this city and I’d prefer if we had a few so if possible can any Augusta borzoi owners comment photos for proof!?

Best place to buy an used car with 0% APR for first couple of months

Hello everyone,

My beloved car passed away after someone crashed us both into a tree. So now I’m looking for a new car. I’m short on funds and have no background with buying cars. I tried Facebook Marketplace with no luck.

I don’t really have a preference for the car itself. Just a place or person who won’t scam me. My only criteria is there being an option to pay off the car with 0% APR within whatever timeframe they have available. Want nothing that has interest involved.

Any recommendations are greatly appreciated!

Lgbtq hangouts?

Hey, I’m visiting Augusta this weekend and I just left the market that’s happening and I’m trying to find more to do rather than sit in my airbnb! Does anyone know any hangout spots?

Have to rehome 2 cats

Looking to rehome 2 cats

Unfortunately, due to a big move, we have to rehome our 2 lovely cats. G (m6) and M (f3). M is a polydactyl, curious, energetic, domestic short hair. She loves chasing shadows, running water, loafing in a pair of shoes and catching any flying bug that may creep in through the window. G is a very sleepy, cuddly guy. He loves greeting us when we come home and following us around until we’re sitting down so he can nap on us. Him and his sister get along very well. They’re either cuddling or wrestling but they love each other. We don’t want to separate them. They do well with new people after an hour or so. We don’t have any kids, so they haven’t met any. M loves our dog (German shepherd mix) and G prefers to keep his distance but isn’t bothered by her. They’re both able to be left at home for a couple days at a time with no issues and long as they have fresh litter. It breaks our hearts to give them up but we know they deserve to be with people that can give them what they deserve. There will be a small rehoming fee so we know they you can take care of em. Just drop a comment and I’ll send a Dm back.

Any places to make some friends here?

Augusta is so car centric and I just moved here with no car. Is there any good places to make friends and maybe meet up with some young crowd? Like any parties or events anything like that? Just moved in from AZ a week ago and already losing my mind stuck in Martinez.

Haircolor and cut for 50+ woman?

I left the area years ago, but my mom is currently in search of a hairdresser since hers retired. She has thick hair (it was wavy but years of box dye damaged it a bit). She went to one of the cooler salons and the young hairdresser did a bad job.

Any recommendations for a seasoned hairdresser who can style her hair? (Bonus for anyone who is extroverted. My mom has never met a stanger.)

Thanks in advance! 😊

Place to Watch a Game Alone?

Any recommendation for where I can watch a baseball game alone? It doesn’t have to be the quietest place (it’s Friday after all). I want to watch the Brewers/Dodgers at 10pm tonight.

Edit: Guys I know bars have TVs. 😝🤣 I’m asking for a recommendation for a good one. Sorry if that wasn’t clear.

Pie Hole

There was a restaurant at 3604 Verandah Dr called The Pie Hole that closed a few years ago. It was sad because they made my favorite peanut butter pie of all time. Does anyone know someone who knows someone who knows someone that may have the recipe for the peanut butter pie? 🤣

Thanks for any info you can provide!

Neighborhoods South of I-20?

I’m in the beginning stages of finding a home to buy in Augusta. Being somewhat new to considering all of Augusta, local connections have told me to avoid anything below I-20 due to crime, and, well…that pretty much eliminates anything within Augusta within my price range. I tend to believe this is a sweeping generalization, so I’d love to hear from people who live south of I-20. What areas do you live in? What is your experience in terms of safety, your local community, neighborhood vibes, etc.? Would you recommend living there to a friend? Appreciate your perspectives!
