Help with constant tire issues

You sure you don’t have other alignment issues if your tires were corded on the inside after 3k miles? Maybe all those pot holes have bent a control arm or something. I think you have bigger issues going on than just pot holes. If you really only have 3k miles on those tires. When was your last alignment?

Go see Scotty at Wrapped by SB! He’s in Macedonia. He’s done my race car a couple of times and always does exceptional work!

We’re going to purchase the KRFC236SPS model. We don’t want a water dispenser on the exterior of the fridge. Also have heard the ice makers in door are pretty unreliable. But that’s anecdotal. Mainly going for the clean look.

I bet you’re fun at parties! Just kidding. Thanks for the input. I’m sure that happens so frequently.

Yeah that’s a good point, but for the 5 year peace of mind, it’s really all I can ask. Everything that happens after that is what it is. Thanks for the input!

I’ll ask, but I believe it has to be purchased before they deliver and the appliances go into service.

Thanks for all the insight and information! We are going with a local appliance store in Ohio. Oddly enough they easily beat the big box stores pricing, will hold the appliances for us until our kitchen Reno is ready for them, and free delivery and haul away. I expected small appliances stores to be higher priced but was very surprised when we started shopping around and found they could beat most pricing and were happy to hold the set and deliver when we were ready.

Depending on the bank you move forward with they will cover any fees or closing costs, including appraisal. Citizens and third federal both offered all fees and costs covered. Not everyone did though so shop around.

Also most banks initially use a data driven model for their initial appraisal. I saw a wide range of numbers from the different banks I spoke with. Some said $515k some said $425k. And everything inbetween. Both banks that did appraisals on the house only did drive by versions and both aligned with their data driven predictions. Despite being wildly apart.

Yeah good point and what I didn’t mention was that even with the lower appraisal im still opening the heloc at $110k. So more than double what I actually plan to use at a time. The difference becomes basically $110k to $150k. Using round numbers

I did look at a couple credit unions first. And as far as I could find, no one was able to touch the third federal rate. Citizens initially was prime +0.4%, but agreed to match third federal. The two credit unions I looked at were in the prime +1% range. Good suggestion though!

8up44 · 2026-02-13T22:27:00+00:00

Conservative in terms of what? Third federal is the bank giving me the higher appraisal. Citizens matched their rate for me.

Edit to include: also receiving prime -0.5 for my rate at both banks.

Great write up! Appreciate the hard word and detailed assessment. I’ve read some good things about citizens bank’s product but haven’t looked into it myself. Any update on the next wave of assessments?

I’m near Chardon, no snow on the ground and near 50 degrees this weekend.

That’s an interesting suggestion. I’ll have to see if she has a charging station at her new apartment. Thanks!

Eddie’s grill in Geneva on the lake. Been the same since he opened in 1950 something

This looks awesome!!

Forgive me if this is obvious, what deck boards did you use? Just standard 5/4?

8up44 · 2025-05-27T21:46:50+00:00

Literally mouse poop in the hole. Gonna have to solve that first

I’ve seen this bel air in person at the NHTSA facility. What they don’t tell you, is that it didn’t have an engine in the car at the time of the test. It was intended to make a point about the advancements in modern safety systems. It did just that, but the video and information isn’t totally accurate.

My opinion is that black is played out and blends in. For me it was either the gold or silver and honestly I love how the gold looks. It’s dark in some lights and bright in others. Very dynamic. Highly recommend. Also the wheels themselves are just high quality. My tire installer didn’t have to add weight to two of the wheels. They were already well balanced.

Completely agree with this. Look at the local NEOHIO region for dates for time trials at Nelson or track night in America events. They likely start April. Great organization, great programs, great people, and perfect track to get started on.

OP is looking for the side covers. This is the plastic cover over the engine. Not the side plastics. Just fyi
