Huffines Hyundai of plano is the worst

Not sure if it’s all Hyundais or just the Plano branch. But JFC, They have replaced the same strut assembly on my sonata not once, not twice, but thrice within the span of 4 months or the less than the 500 miles I’ve driven.

They have kept my car now for a total of 3 months this year. Tell me why I had to wait 3.5 hours for a loaner car that only appeared after I ordered my own uber to leave because they had kept me waiting the entire day.

Moral of the story, don’t buy Hyundai.

But I will say, Omar is an amazing service rep, he’s on his shit, and he deserves a team that will keep to their word like he does.

Bug in house

I keep finding these either alive or dead, creepy ass centipede things. I found one a long time ago, thinking it was a tiny snake. And then not again until like 2 months ago. I've probably killed or relocated outside about a handful. And just found another in my house, and it's freaking me out. I live in an old complex townhouse, and have had my fair share of issues with ants, this place is terribly sealed or whatever. Just thought I'd see if anyone can help ID the bug and what I can do prevent it. Thanks in advance! FYI I also am very good about keeping the floors cleaned and vacuumed(just did them a few hours ago). I don't have a lot of clutter either.

Plant lavender to deter gnats/mosquitos

Folks,

I want to plant lavender in my backyard around the patio and in pots near the front door to deter gnats and mosquitos.

Curious to know if anyone has done this in Texas and does it work? Are there any other plants you recommend to help deter flying bugs.

I'm deploying a zapper in the front and back as well, hoping they both combine to deter and kill enough.

Any guidance or best practices regarding planting and maintaining the plants would be helpful.

F=ma Exam

I was wondering if there are any school in Plano that offers this exam next year to get into the USAPhO. I'm currently in Plano Senior Highschool but they don't seem to have a team for this but I really want to compete.

If there are schools in the area that does this, I would probably ask to join and compete. Thanks very much.

Irrigation - Plano

Any recommendations for a good irrigation / drainage system installer in Plano? We’ve gotten a few quotes but they seem astronomical / all over the place in what they think we need done. Just looking for a solid, trusted option. Thanks!

Power Outage

Power just went out near Independence and Park Blvd. Several people in the area affected. Anyone else in the vicinity affected?

Edit: It’s more so Independence & 15th and a few surrounding neighborhoods.

What happened to the Plano Bazaar?

I'm not from Plano, but I recently went to go look at some dresses but when I got there the store was closed and the businesses that were there had papers on the windows with their new location. I just wanted to know what happened if anything did.

Any good psychiatrists in the area who are highly experienced with treating OCD specifically?

So far, most of whom I've found are familiar with MDD and "anxiety" and trauma, but not OCD. OCD is a highly specialized form of anxiety and needs the proper treatment. I'm already hunting for the therapy route for my family member, but am still searching for med routes, as she needs all the help she can get.

Are the high school kids in front of the grocery stores asking for donations legitamte?

I have seen these guys in front of Walmart and Dollar Tree asking for donations for their team. I am guessing if Walmart allows them to solicit in front of the store there is some kind of legitimacy. Just seeing if anyone knows anything about this or any backstory.

Sorry about the spelling. :)

Thanks

Does Spectrum or Frontier have better WiFi?

Hey ya’ll, I just found out the house I’m moving to doesn’t have AT&T service. I’ve been using them for years with Fiber and work from home, so I really need something high speed. What is the next best option?

Things to do on Thanksgiving Day?

My friend and I are going from Oklahoma to Houston for TRF, but we’re staying in Plano Thanksgiving night. Anything to do/see before we retire to our hotel?

We might drive by PESH for a trip down my memory lane since that’s where I graduated from 😂

Be patient student and driver

Owners are registering themselves as charities and using the cars as a tax write-off. That is why some of the cars are brand new High-End

Fresh Produce?

I'm having a hard time adjusting to living here for a lot of reasons but one is I cannot find any locally grown produce. It's been 4 years and I MISS a fresh tomato!! Everything is imported from mexico or shipped from California. I guess it's the awful soil here?

Does anyone know of a source in Plano with real honest to goodness grown within a couple of hours produce??
