Hmmm... I'm not a hat guy. But I truly with all manufacturers would stick to actual stitching. Adhesive does not hold up in the dryer. Especially tiny stickers.
I used to be diehard Nike. But over the years, Nike has gotten outta hand expensive and Adidas has a much larger variety in aparrel IMO.

We recently did this at-home test that was proctored for a cruise we took in February. It could not have been easier.

A few tips:
1. When you initially register, make sure to use the name that matches exactly on the identification you plan to use.

2. Test out the lighting and camera beforehand to ensure the camera can scan the bar code and pick up results, etc.

3. Once you begin the test, do not let your laptop or tablet go to screensaver during the 15 minute waiting period (this begins as soon as you swab your nose), otherwise the app logs you out and when you log back in, you have to start a brand new test.

4. Set up your testing space ahead of time...for example, when you swab your nose and then place the test stick in the package, make sure that is set someplace where you can't knock it onto the floor, etc.....otherwise, that invalidates the test.

5. I picked up all of these and other tips on YouTube - just search for that test and you will find videos of people taking them.

I just made my first Carvana purchase. I've never done an internet purchase sight unseen before, but I found the perfect spec with low miles and I couldn't resist. I lose my delivery fee of $590 if the car is a stinker, but it will be an interesting new experience for me!

I've been looking for a few months now for a manual MKVII in white with the performance pack (LSD and brakes) to be my new daily, replacing the BMW i3. This might be the last really good ICE GTI, and I drove an MKII in High School, so this is kind of coming full circle for me.

I considered the Golf R, but I wanted a moonroof to be honest. I'm not looking for the fastest car, just the most enjoyable drive. The lighter, but not as powerful GTI was right up my ally.

2019 VW GTI SE, Performance Pack, Lighting Package, Manual, only 11k miles, still under factory warranty! I take delivery next week if all goes well. Crossing my fingers.

Here's the car if anyone's interested: https://www.carvana.com/vehicle/2048031

First step is to remove the tint, then full PPI and oil change. Then inspect tires and replace with proper MPS4S.

Bought my car from them. Everything went very well and have no complaints whatsoever. Honestly may never buy at a dealer again. Even their warranty was fantastic, used it twice and at the shop I normally use. Got repair approval instantly both times and since it wasn't their preferred shop all I had to pay was a $50 deductible.

Only thing I would say is go over the body with a fine tooth comb BEFORE the truck leaves, complain about ANYTHING you see wrong and have them document it. They will repair even body issues as long as it is documented at delivery. Check the wheels for curb rash as well. The more expensive the car the better the service. Typically people that complain bought the cheapest cars that would be junk at dealers as well.

Thanks. I'm going to take a lot of photos. Luckily the car is still under factory warranty. What's the usual procedure if I find damage? Report to the carrier driver or Carvana? Should I still take delivery? Does the transporter work directly for Carvana or are they from Joe Blow's Bargain Tow Yard?

Make sure that you get the permanent license plates and a clean title within 90 days. Plenty of news on the web about Carvana selling cars with title issues, and sending out multiple rounds of temporary paper tags because state DMV's will not process the permanent plates without a clean title.....

Oh that's right you said you have to use a carrier and not an actual Carvana truck. Not sure in that case. I had some small scrapes on the rear bumper that I pointed out weren't on their photos and in 30mins after the driver left it was approved for repair. Remember you get 7 days to return the car so make sure to have a ppi done in that time and any body issues complained about.

As far as titles I had no issues. They even send a hard plate once the temp tags are almost done. You don't even have to go to the BMV. Showed up from FedEx one day.

Last time I used a dealer I had a horrible problem, it was a VW bought at a BMW dealer and 90 days passed with still no title. They actually had to put a dealer tag on my car until they got it sorted but also gave me a nice check for the trouble. So people complaining about carvana doing that when I have 1st hand experience being screwed by a dealer.

I bought some Garrison Brewery Putin Huylo beer. It's a recipe shared by Ukrainian brewer Pravda Brewery which became famous when it stopped brewing beer and started making molotov cocktails to throw at the Russian invaders. "Putin Huylo" is Ukrainian for "Putin is a dickhead". 100% of the profits are donated to registered charities supporting humanitarian efforts in Ukraine.
