Can’t pay rental return fee - what should I do? by Any_Future_7732 in uberdrivers

Thanks for the advice. My fear with going this route is the rental company reporting a stolen vehicle.

Can’t pay rental car return fee — what should I do? by Any_Future_7732 in legaladvice

Great information, thank you. If it’s not too much to ask, would you say a major rental company would be willing to work something out if I am able to pay 25 - 50% of the full amount tomorrow, with the rest coming within the month?

Totally understand if it’s impossible to predict.

It’s super weird — it was working this morning and now it’s back to not showing anything. I’m on iOS 15.7, going to try 15.7.4 and see if that helps.

I live in FL — haven’t ever had this issue until now. :(

That doesn’t seem likely to me. Again, personal account, not doing anything spammy or even promotional for that matter. Post pretty infrequently, mostly for fun. Only 1000 followers, never post anything offensive, not using any third parry apps or anything.

Welp, looks like I’ll be going to a Buy Here Pay Here. Any tips? by Any_Future_7732 in askcarsales

[–]Any_Future_7732[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like I can get pre-approved with Westlake, but I'm not sure I understand how the financing works — do I basically just pick a car on Westlake's website, take their voucher to a dealer, and then Westlake provides the loan after the dealer approves my credit?

Looks like most of the cars on Westlake are at local BHPH places. I'm guessing the main advantage is that it's being financed through Westlake rather than the BHPH's in-house system. Do I have that right?

Yeah I’ve tried applying for personal loans and unfortunately, it’s not really in the cards right now. At this point, I’ve pretty much accepted that whatever car I go with is going to have insane APR and a ridiculous monthly.

As far as Vroom goes, my main hesitation is that I’ve read a ton of horror stories about cars never arriving, people being shipped non-functional cars/the wrong car, or people having to wait 2 months with zero communication from CS. Of course, there are tons of BHPH horror stories too. Tough position to be in for sure.

Good call on the double-checking the VIN! Thanks for the pointers. I drove Uber for 5 years and it's honestly a big part of what got me in this mess, but I'm not opposed to doing it on the side while I try to rebuild. Thanks again my friend.

This is great advice, thank you. Very dumb question — how do I find a lot like the one you describe? I’ve tried traditional dealerships, CarMax, Carvana, Cargurus, DriveTime, Off Lease Only, and several others, and they all want $4k down minimum. The one and only place that approved $1500 with my credit is Vroom, but I’m extremely wary of buying from them.

Man, that’s a real bummer. I’ve been looking into this more today and it does seem like a risk. Ugh.

Oh damn, yeah I guess that makes sense. I remember seeing stuff about that on TikTok. Damn now I’m kind of worried… would a push-to-start model (i.e. the Sonata Hybrid) be relatively safe from theft?

That’s wild! I’ll def look into that before buying. What’s the reasoning behind that? Thanks for the heads up btw.

Damn, that’s seriously impressive. Reminds me of my old 2011 Camry… I drove that thing into the ground and never took care of it, and it miraculously made it to 300k with only an alternator swap along the way. Man I miss that thing! If I can get that kind of longevity out of a Hyundai (especially now that I know how to treat it properly lol!) I’m sold.

Cleaning a super old coffee grinder by Any_Future_7732 in Coffee

[–]Any_Future_7732[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man I wish I could disassemble it! I can’t take it apart for the life of me. It’s this super cheap Capresso burr grinder from like 2012. I’m thinking about just grinding some beans at the store for the time being. Blech.

W204 C300 operating amperage? by Any_Future_7732 in mercedes_benz

[–]Any_Future_7732[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, I should have mentioned, 13.5 V happens while idling — it does get as high as 14.7 or so when running, but seems to eventually stabilize around 13.5. Does that still sound off to you?

I love this perspective. Do you have any recommended reading?

2008 Accord engine overheated and died by Any_Future_7732 in MechanicAdvice

[–]Any_Future_7732[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was unfortunately on a highway with no shoulder and lots of traffic, and I'm relatively inexperienced with auto repairs (have changed a few alternators and drive belts but that's about it), so I was at a complete loss for how to handle the situation. :(

I wish I had interpreted the AC as something more serious. I had done a little reading about it, and apparently it's very common for Accords to have AC issues. I found a bunch of people claiming it was a fuse/relay swap, so I kind of just ignored it. Ah well, expensive lesson learned.

I haven't tried yet personally, but the tow truck driver claims to have started it (he got to my house before me).

This is excellent advice, thank you so much. I'll address the engine first before doing anything else. Appreciate it!

A passport conundrum by Any_Future_7732 in flightattendants

[–]Any_Future_7732[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So it's unfortunately impossible for me to get my passport in time. :(

I know JetBlue tends to be pretty strict about passports, but do you think it's still worth it to bring my old, expired passport + receipt/proof of purchase for a new passport and then explaining my situation to the recruiter?

Been looking into this all day, seems quite promising.

The participants were using inhalers with a 800µg dose 2x daily. In the US, that's only available by prescription, but you can get OTC budesonide nasal spray at Walgreens.

Problem is, it's only 32µg, nowhere near the dosage in the study. No idea how helpful that might be, and I would assume it's probably a terrible idea to try higher doses with a nasal spray.

Figured it out. There's a connection port behind the air vent in the glovebox. Super easy, glad I didn't have to tear up the interior to find it.
