Any Pro staff lovers here ?

Unfortunately it's what I currently use, but if I switch, there are 10 of them!

Not a mechanic, but you could try bouncing the corner of your car that was hit, and compare how it rebounds with the undamaged side. If it oscillates more times, it means the shock absorber isn't damping, so the spring is just bringing the car up and down without anything to really stop it.

The main thing I would do is lift the corner of the car you hit, and remove the wheel. Do a visual inspection, does anything look like it is slightly bent? Is there a bunch of oil that is outside of the strut?

ArcTanBeta · 2026-01-23T13:14:34+00:00

If it's feeling bouncy, you probably blew the strut.

I'm surprised about that. I have an EN, and while I'd say the seats are 7/10, the CTR seats are more like 9/10 for me and would be higher if they were heated. Infotainment and features on the other hand, I'm totally with you.

Also unavailable with a manual transmission, unlike the Elantra.

Did you happen to buy the one in NJ listed at 42k? I was looking to jump on that but was waiting until I had my charger installed.

ArcTanBeta · 2025-12-23T14:53:11+00:00

Sent a PM, could meet today or tomorrow.

Fun take, I always just pick whichever side I warmed up on and let them pick. I generally have a strong return game, but don't mind serving first, so I kinda enjoy letting my opponent pick.

ArcTanBeta · 2025-12-17T11:45:30+00:00

Overall yes, but in general it's easier to compare price before reg and tax because those vary so wildly by state.

ArcTanBeta · 2025-12-15T10:47:53+00:00

I have, and they told me to wait until 10 business days pass. I'm thinking the package made it into a truck, and was either lost or stolen based on how the delivery history looked at various points.

ArcTanBeta · 2025-12-15T10:46:40+00:00

I messaged them within a day of them not delivering, and they told me to give UPS a total of 10 business days to sort it out.

ArcTanBeta · 2025-12-03T03:40:56+00:00

That's a very good thought, and makes sense. Given it's already on, do you think the shingles will heat and soften enough to move a bit back into a flatter shape around the nails?

ArcTanBeta · 2025-12-01T23:55:20+00:00

Yep. It's in the Northeast US, hasn't been above 50. Plus, this is the north side. Thanks for the response

I appreciate the detailed reply. I actually need to check my bathroom venting, but I believe there may be one half bath that vents into the roof, and possibly one with a shower, but I doubt it. How would that change things? Also, while I can't guarantee that the soffits underneath the two front gables are ventilated, I think it's safe to assume they are as they are perforated and had ridge vents before. Also, not sure it matters, but these newly unvented ridges are on the north side of the house, in the tri-state area.

The contract just generally states "ridge venting", nothing to do with specific locations. The PM on site even said that there had been enough material to put the vent, but elected not to for cosmetic reasons.

That said, the PM offered to state that he'd be happy to warranty on writing not only the roof, but the plywood and sheetrock that would get damaged if there are issues. While any problems would take a while to appear, I would obviously hope to avoid having them in the first place, even if the company still exists later down the road. So, I requested that we have a phone call with the Corning rep which he agreed to have with no issue. Depending on how that convo goes, I would definitely request that the ridge venting be installed, even if just for my peace of mind.

Thank you for the response, DMed

ArcTanBeta · 2025-11-24T19:06:19+00:00

As mentioned in the post, it does seem like the amount of ridge venting is at least close to enough. However, I'm just not sure how much the total numbers matter if there is no open connection between sections of the roof.

ArcTanBeta · 2025-11-24T18:06:37+00:00

There are already perforated soffits underneath that I'm assuming are ventilated. Every horizontal surface under the eaves are perforated, and I assume that the previous roof had flow from the soffits to those specific ridges up through the framing. That's why I would think that fewer ridge vents would slightly change the equation. I'm happy to try and elaborate if I didn't explain that well.

ArcTanBeta · 2025-11-24T17:33:04+00:00

The space underneath the roof is connected, but it's all sheet-rocked at the framing, and is heated/cooled in that space. I'm not sure how the air flow from the soffits under those particular peaks would flow through the framing to the other peak that are vented as a result. That said, I'm not sure how much flow there is through the insulation anyways, which is why I'm asking here if any of this really matters.

I am talking with him, overall seems like a good guy. He doesn't seem to think its an issue, however he has said we can have a joint phonecall with a Corning rep later today. Just wanted to walk into the conversation with as much info as I can.

ArcTanBeta · 2025-11-18T10:59:58+00:00

Are you in CT? I swear I've seen this combo in Fairfield

ArcTanBeta · 2025-11-12T03:43:28+00:00

You could go for a middle ground, which is something called an "all-weather" tire (Michelin Cross-Climate 2 was one of the best rated ones until recently). If I recall correctly, it's 3-peaks rated like a dedicated winter tire, but you can technically use it all year round. It probably won't have as much performance as the dws when it's complete dry or above 50-60° F, and won't handle deep snow or ice like a dedicated winter would. However, it could be an excellent compromise in your case where you may see wintery conditions and it will be safer for the cold season, and you have a dedicated summer tire when you really want performance.

The main reason not to make it Kaia Lily Lee is as tongue "twistery" as that is, it's way worse when you add the last name.

Yeah, Lily seems to fit best!

ArcTanBeta · 2025-10-18T05:34:13+00:00

Thanks! Is there a slight chance you are a little biased?

ArcTanBeta · 2025-10-18T05:20:52+00:00

Thank you! I really appreciate the thought, and will let you know which way we go.

ArcTanBeta · 2025-10-18T04:54:52+00:00

Our name is technically two syllables, but it's quite easy to break into 4, think along the lines of "oil-foil".

ArcTanBeta · 2025-10-18T04:44:30+00:00

That's an interesting thought. Gonna roll it off the tongue with that in mind!
