oh im sorry, did they charge you $400?

Sure other parts of the state are affordable but have you noticed traffic? A long commute can be a major drain on someone's life. No one wants to spend hours in the car to and from work or on a train. People are basically forced to spend money on the greater Boston area if they have an office job in Boston

Great woods is hell on earth.

Yep. I hear a lot of people go on about how great our hospitals are. If you're young and healthy you may not care about that. I'm almost 45 and I guess I don't see what's so fabulous about the healthcare in Boston. We have all these great doctors but it takes forever to get an appt for many of them and going to a dr in Boston is never convenient with the traffic. Schools are another thing where people try and justify the price. I get that but many people use private as well so public schools might not be that important. And the towns where the public schools are very good are of course very expensive.

Overall I think MA is probably a great place if you're rich and enjoy some cold weather.

But then this means knocking down forests and trees to built more housing. Some people enjoy nature. I've noticed that every time a woodsy area is knocked down (and it's been happening a lot lately) no trees are planted. It's so ugly !! Do we want to be a treeless state ? There are plenty of other places people can move to.

I'm not surprised to hear that people are leaving MA. Covid and remote work made people realize that they didn't need a Boston office. I was already surprised by the amount of people moving here over the past decade and what they'd pay for a home. A million for a 3 bed 2 bath just to be close to an office? No thanks. Even with a high salary it doesn't seem like it's worth it. For what? I'm in FL right now and I could get used to this. Unfortunately I have to leave tomorrow.

Take me with you.

I think that’s the most pedantic thing I’ve seen on Reddit

Maybe you shouldn’t be driving. Seriously. If your anxiety is this great you may want to look in to moving closer to mass transit.

That's not going to happen in MA. If a cop didn't witness it to pull you over, you aren't getting cited for it.

I know anxiety is tough to deal with but take a deep breath and let this one go. Even if someone had a dash cam and turned it in, no one could actually prove you were driving the vehicle, the police wouldn’t send a citation for that.

In order of durability, paint protection film > ceramic coating > sealant > wax. PPF isn't worth it unless it's a really high-end car IMO. If you care about your car, I'd get it detailed professionally and have it ceramic coated. I personally don't really care, so I just wash it really well once or twice a year, clay bar it, polish it using Rupes sealant.

They can be suspect in that they often use deceptive advertising. Many are for profit companies and if you look closely only a small percentage of monies , if any, are donated to charity. They do recycle the material though and make a profit.

Absolutely. And loop in the Berkshires

Thank you for that nightly humor friend.

This has got to be the most blatant troll account I’ve ever seen.

Refreshing to see someone take responsibility. Respect to you. Admitting a small mistake is huge, and again: refreshing. Need more ppl like this

I mean, you can just wash your car after this kind of thing. Or heck, don't, and just wait til the end of the season to get a good wash and detailing for the spring.

So much police brutality happens everywhere, this is the first thing you have wrong.

The second thing you have wrong is everything else you did in this interaction and said on the internet.

I guess our definitions of "a little" are different. 300% more doesn't fall within my definition of "a little"

I goofed.

In my opinion, you seldom see people of any authority admit, they made a mistake, and unfortunately, even on social media that is no exception. I seldom understand why that is. I believe good leadership means sometimes saying, "I don't know" or "I was mistaken." No one is perfect, and it seems like nonsense to attempt to project perfection.

I made mistake. This post should not have been approved. The user is clearly a troll and their post history, which was previously been removed, ranged from conspiracy theories to sketchy stories like this. I should not have approved this post and the user should have been banned a while ago.

Instead, I skimmed and wasn't paying close attention, and this has been here for 4 hours with over 2,800 views. --- Oops! Sorry, everyone.

To be honest it’s my fiancés work car, if they don’t care neither does he😂

But I do appreciate it🫶🏼😊

Dude you sound like a cry baby bozo. You do “business with a high schooler” (perv). And you’re upset a cop did excellent proactive work to keep a weirdo like yourself away from children in the age of school shooters… go fuck yourself

I can't believe anyone took the bait on this post, frankly.

Lol. Dude you were on school grounds? Probably should have been arrested.
