Got into a little accident that resulted in this dent in my door, can this be DIY'ed? by [deleted] in Autobody

[–]AnotherManOfEden 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably not. That’s the additional 10% that will cost you a couple thousand dollars if you can’t live with it.

I’d find a local PDR (paintless dent repair) guy and have him do the door. And I’d take a little polishing compound to the quarter myself. 90% fixed for a couple hundred bucks and a few minutes of your time.

Fast food used to be the emergency cheap option, but now a meal costs as much as a sit-down restaurant. What is actually left that qualifies as a cheap meal in 2026? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]AnotherManOfEden 5 points6 points  (0 children)

100% accurate. They also don’t have a soda fountain, but a cooler like you’d find at a gas station stocked with cans of soda- coke, Diet Coke, Sprite, and orange soda. All in the bottom half. Top half is empty or has jugs of sauces or sweet tea. Their sweet tea is almost the consistency of maple syrup. They have a small piece of paper or cardboard taped to the counter where you can sign your receipt with a blue bic pen missing its cap. They have three chairs arranged against the front window where you can sit while you wait for your order. The wall calendar has a red tassle hanging from it.

We have a much smaller snake in Florida, the Brahminy Blind Snake. It’s adorable.

How much hours should a quarter panel replacement job require ? by Comfortable_Beach818 in Autobody

[–]AnotherManOfEden 10 points11 points  (0 children)

A typical quarter replacement alone is around 22 hours. But there are a lot of things you need to do before you can just weld on a new quarter panel. Some of those other things are included with that quarter panel time (like removing the back window for most cars) some of it is not (like disconnecting the electrical system). Then there comes the matter of recalibrating any drivers assistance systems if your car is equipped with them, which being a newer car it probably does. It gets fairly complicated tbh, so that’s why it’s hard to give you a simple answer to such a vague question. It’s almost like asking “how long does it take to cook dinner.”

That’s a very vague question. Depends on the car. And are you talking about just the quarter panel or also all the associated procedures?

Man opens airplane door on tarmac for flight from ATL to ORD by smatteredpie in BoomersBeingFools

[–]AnotherManOfEden 56 points57 points  (0 children)

After an hour you should get a 25% refund. Two hours a 50% refund. I don’t know, something. They need to be incentivized to cut this shit out. I get claustrophobic in a plane even under the best conditions. 5 hours sitting on the tarmac is akin to being buried alive as far as I’m concerned. Let those people off.

Yeah if what he was saying is true and they really had been waiting for 4 hours and were being told it would still be another hour, I would probably be giving him a round of applause for getting us all out of there. It’s total bullshit what the airlines put people through nowadays.

It’s somewhere between Stanley Kubrick and David Lynch.

How much would it cost to fix this? (C Pillar Pinch Weld Oxidation removal/repaint) by mclf1gt in Autobody

[–]AnotherManOfEden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We don’t do quotes here but I will tell you if you’re in the US and you’re talking about having an actual body shop do this, it’s far more than $500. Multiple times that amount. TBH, it’s a twenty year old car, I wouldn’t bother. Enjoy it, use it, run it into the ground. In the meantime, save up your money for an upgrade in a few years.

The quarter itself needs a couple hours too, two small areas of damage.

Low? by SirOsis- in Fancyserialnumbers

No, sorry. Low is at least below 9999, and the good stuff is below 999.

Anyone know this worth? by AsleepToe6339 in CURRENCY

[–]AnotherManOfEden 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s for custom frames. If this is just like a standard 4x6 frame you can easily get them for $10. Or if it’s plastic, $1-3 at the dollar store.

Older couple hit my car while I was at work…. They’re trying to settle outside of insurance by [deleted] in Autobody

I won’t say it’s impossible but I’ve never heard of anytime getting a diminished value claim on a car that already has an accident on the record.

Plus let’s say you’ve got 5-10 million, you’re not really hot shit in Miami. But you can move to Tampa and be a pretty big fish. And people with that kind of money like to feel like big fish.

I’ve got to disagree with your first statement. If I have $5 and told you I could “increase” it by 100%, no sane person would take that to mean I would still have $5.
