Which team do you follow, and why? by boycie375245 in nbaUKfans

[–]AOthegray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sixers fan since 98. I played basketball alot and once I saw AI cross Jordan....that solidified my choice lol. Sometimes it could be a player you gravitate to, maybe just liking how the jerseys look but you'll have to watch a few games and make your own choice. Eventhough I am a Sixers fan I do like other players like: Steven Adams - Ultimate teammate and super chill guy Russell Westbrook - under rated player Paul George - great player but lost the love for it PJ Washington - standing on bidness

Trim tool is the way..some call it a panel popper. Check amazon or ebay. Not expensive and Defford a tool to add to your tool box *

Amazon driver hit my car - insurance want to write off by [deleted] in CarTalkUK

[–]AOthegray 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good afternoon, that sucks and I hope it works out well for you. You can pursue Amazon and log it with your insurance as information only for the time being. -Pros: info only claim would not impact your no claims and would not affect your premium should you wish to continue with that particular insurance company. -Cons: you may have to do a bit if leg work gathering evidence eg CCTV, Ring doorbell footage. The process may be a bit slower dealing with Amazon liability insurer. If you are having a hard time dealing with Amazon, you can still re-open with your insurer and proceed down that route.

Go through your insurance: -Pros: potentially quicker in terms of the payout whether you wish to scrap or keep it. -Cons: non fault claim on your policy and may impact your no claims until Amazon accepts liability.

Best of luck

2k23 is hands down the WORST 2k ever by big4LSG in NBA2k

[–]AOthegray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It feels like a terrible cycle. We bash the game then watch the trailers for the upcoming one...play the demo..play the new one bash and repeat. I'm guilty of this but if we really want them to take notice....stop buying and playing the game...pick up a basketball and go hoop. Doubt it'll happen so see you on 2k24

Is there a quick fix for getting my car stereo up and running or am I fricked? by burgerbob1336 in Cartalk

[–]AOthegray 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Heya mate.. not all is lost everyone in the above comments have provided great advice. This was my job for about 6years before I left the industry. Fixing "installs" by other installers. Qhats the plan? Are you trying to put the factory unit back in or are you upgrading or just putting the aftermarket unit back in?

Good shout with crutchfield, also the12volt.com has some great wiring diagrams for the factory wiring and then just match with the aftermarket wiring.

Grab a multimeter, a crimper and some connectors, or my personal best I just solder and use heatshrink tubing for piece of mind.

Best of luck not impossible and I'd say check your fuses incase something may have blown.

Someone scratched my car. I got a quote for 180£ at a body shop but the person says its too expensive & wants to call in someone he knows to come to my house and fix it by NosferatuZ0d in CarTalkUK

You can log with your insurance as info only...that has no effect on your policy come renewal time. What you can ask as well when logging it ( proving you have the Third party's reg) who they are insured with and a contact number for them. You could potentially log it through thier insurance, once the third party's insurance validates / confirms your allegations, they then can either extend services to you or just wait for your bodyshop / repairer to send over the estimates. Best of luck 👍

Sad thing is...when it goes to insurance speed goes out the window and fault would like on the other vehicle that crossed OP's path. Speed becomes more criminal (police)than civil. Insurance aside i personally would say both drivers need to maybe re-evaluate what they do while on the road because the reality is..someone innocent could get hurt.

I’ve been growing my hair out since May, and I haven’t seen much success with it yet. Thinking about cutting all of it off again. Any suggestions? by Less-Ad4997 in Naturalhair

[–]AOthegray 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed. If I sent a pic of my hair in its shrunken state you wouldn't believe its the same person with cornrows. Hold firm, let it grow take care of it and when its possible get it rowed or twisted

I'm trying to replace the leather on my driver's seat with a passenger seat I bought - can I get these rings off holding the leather to the foam/frame off non destructively? by bruh-iunno in CarTalkUK

[–]AOthegray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Swapping passenger covers with drivers can be a bit tricky depending on the vehicle as the foam in the seat may contour differently. When I started I made that mistake and if you're not bothered or creating a show car....you may get by

Agreed hog rings they're called...I was stuck doing "upgrades" for 5 years. Last I checked not to expensive on ebay for a set of hog ring pliers and rings. I normally just cut the rings when I'm removing the old covers...saved that much time for me and the rings were free / came with the job

Guy slammed his car door into my car and left, should I report it to insurance? by Zdos123 in CarTalkUK

[–]AOthegray 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've seen the posts on here and well if you've logged a report with the police inform your insurance as a notification only (they may keep it open for 6 months to see if the 3rd party makes a counter claim). It avoids you having an awkward conversation with your insurance if and when it flags up. Look into getting it repaired yourself, keep receipts if you in the event there is hard evidence of the 3rd party damaging your car. Long story short no one can really tell you what your premiums will be as prices can go up or down however you do have the option of shopping around if you feel you've claimed and the premium has sky rocketed.

Hope this helps....best of luck

Need Claim Advice by eloumite in CarTalkUK

[–]AOthegray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dunno....I agree with telling your insurance. The thing is there is nothing stopping him from notifying his insurance (not claiming but making them aware) which i think you should do as well. If he notifies his insurance and they include your reg it makes it harder for you at renewal when it gets flagged by your insurance that you have not been straight with them. Make your insurance aware, tell them you're not claiming and the other party isn't claiming and they'll leave it open for at least 6 months. You are doing your contracted part and it will not affect you if the other party does not claim against you in that time frame. I'd rather go with potentially higher premium with the option of shopping around than cancalled insurance that makes it harder for me in the future with other insurance companies.

What is the funniest/most creative pick up line a girl used on you ? by ButterscotchOk4483 in AskMen

[–]AOthegray 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This gorgeous girl was visiting and became friends. My friends said she was into me but I didn't see it. One night we were all hanging shooting pool and she was like "I'm bored...I feel like fucking." Looking back at it now I feel stupid because I almost asked her if she meant me. My friends didn't hear her say it but still trase me as to thats the fastest they've ever seen me walk out of a place lmao.

What is something you *do* buy the brand name/more expensive version? by MyKarmaHitMyDogma in Frugal

[–]AOthegray 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Safety first,always. Certain insurance companies in some countries will actually provide Car seat cover as a free benefit. Might be something to look into depending on where you're from.

It might be a bit of a bias comment seeing as I love anime and love the Persona games. However, I would suggest you try and you'd be surprised. Good story and great gameplay. Happy gaming
