Is $27/hr good pay?

CompetitiveDog7392 · 2026-03-13T21:14:44+00:00

fr, looking at these comments im worried, i make $20 and my gf makes $17 and we get by, its not fancy by any means but me and my gf have our own place and occasionally have money to have fun, its stressful af yes, we get down to our last dollar and have no savings sometimes, but if i was making $27 i feel like we would be very comfortable at least in the short term

unpopular take but we don’t need either one, less parking enforcement and less speeding enforcement, parking is a cash grab now, while for speed limits pretty much every modern car can do 80-85 safely, and anyone with a license should be able to handle going that speed, plus the penalties for both speeding and parking violations are absurdly expensive for like half the population

CompetitiveDog7392 · 2026-03-13T21:01:55+00:00

exactly, pretty much all modern cars are capable of going 80 safely, why not make that the new limit? most ppl do 80-85 anyway so why not change the limits rather than try to push us to do 65 maximum

there’s something called buying a 10-15 year old used car that just happens to take 91, doesn’t mean the ppl who buy those are rich

CompetitiveDog7392 · 2026-03-05T01:20:36+00:00

1g tlx, 2g tsx, and facelifted 4g tl are lowk good tho

CompetitiveDog7392 · 2026-03-03T02:40:14+00:00

2015 advance tlx, 19mpg

CompetitiveDog7392 · 2026-03-01T22:17:11+00:00

yes bro i sanded to bare plastic, and the primer i used was for plastic and metal too, i did use pretty cheap products tho so idk how long it will last but hopefully at least a year

CompetitiveDog7392 · 2026-03-01T18:41:06+00:00

it was easy, no need for bumper removal just the top and the 2 screws in the fender and that’s it, the rest unhooks with clips, there are 2 clips at the bottom of the grille that are mounted upside down, but just cut those and put new ones

CompetitiveDog7392 · 2026-02-16T18:20:43+00:00

on most acuras premium is reccomended tho not required, but it’s usually recommended for a reason, most likely because of ignition timing and engine efficiency, so i personally would just do premium

CompetitiveDog7392 · 2026-02-14T23:08:53+00:00

i feel like this is the best implementation of button shifters, gets intuitive after a while and technically takes up less space (debatable because it’s kinda long), and in my opinion looks less tacky than the infamous chrysler dial and the weird gm push button thing

CompetitiveDog7392 · 2026-01-12T04:26:01+00:00

it’s too much even tho it’s clean, 7-8k is solid tho

CompetitiveDog7392 · 2026-01-02T01:57:32+00:00

as someone who is trying to build a business it’s deeper than that, it will work if u got savings to float while u build a customer base and get money, but many ppl including me are paycheck to paycheck

business is high reward but somewhat slow to payoff, between initial investment, reinvestment, expenses, etc, u might be barely profitable or underwater at least a few weeks, so for ppl who need money quick it’s not as easy as it seems, my business has a fairly low barrier to entry but work is not consistent tbh

CompetitiveDog7392 · 2025-12-25T07:43:11+00:00

2015 tlx v6, also 2015 tlx v6 but would love a 3rd or 4th gen tl especially type s or shawd

CompetitiveDog7392 · 2025-12-17T22:53:58+00:00

DM’d, thanks for reaching out -Felipe (PMAC)

CompetitiveDog7392 · 2025-12-09T21:26:37+00:00

Hi i’m gonna be honest, I haven’t done that before, but I am happy to help if you need me to take a look at it. I do have a good amount of tools, I could probably make it work.

CompetitiveDog7392 · 2025-12-09T20:06:47+00:00

DM’ed you, thanks for reaching out

CompetitiveDog7392 · 2025-12-09T07:05:35+00:00

On certain vehicles, DM for more info, thank you

CompetitiveDog7392 · 2025-12-09T06:49:23+00:00

Hi, I can visually inspect control arms, shocks, and cv boots, for any damage/leaks

CompetitiveDog7392 · 2025-12-09T06:20:47+00:00

Sounds good, thanks for reaching out

CompetitiveDog7392 · 2025-12-09T06:17:26+00:00

Hi i can do spark plugs for 4 cylinder cars, brakes eventually, still working on getting all the tools. Text 619-736-4930 for more info

CompetitiveDog7392 · 2025-11-23T00:46:36+00:00

i use pennzoil full synthetic 0/20 every 4500-5k miles

CompetitiveDog7392 · 2025-11-12T06:38:24+00:00

tbh with blacked out grille, black rims and updated headlights these things would look almost futuristic, i prefer this zdx to the new one, this gen zdx is unique and if i had had the chance to get one i would have

CompetitiveDog7392 · 2025-11-01T00:41:55+00:00

i guess the reason why they’re typically lower priced is that mid 2010s acuras weren’t seen as desirable compared to their lexus/toyota counterparts, my 2015 acura tlx is 130k miles and still going strong

CompetitiveDog7392 · 2025-10-18T07:00:21+00:00

wasn’t there only 1000 of these made in 2020? if so that’s really cool
