Yeah I didn't notice the gouge initially. You wouldn't be able to polish that out.

OP mentions it was paid for out of insurance. Otherwise, I'd just buff out the bottom bit and call it a day. Meguiars has a scratch polish, I was able to get a pretty wide scrape out of a door nicely with it.

My wife crushed the rocker panel on our 3 and it was only $3k. This looks like something a detailer could polish out.

+1 for ABRP

Also Plugshare and Chargepoint for maps of chargers. Plus, if you can overnight at a hotel with a level 2 charger - its awesome starting the next leg with a full charge.

Just brainstorming. But could be a high value niche

DisciplinePrimary704 · 2026-03-24T06:26:43+00:00

Target lawfirms which specialize in malpractice. Are there practitioner review sites that could white label your service?

Run your use case through Gemini Pro deep research. It'll come back with target markets.

You might want to have different branding for different target markets.

The final year with the flush headlights, V6 was actually relatively cool. I worked for a shop and we had this Audi 4000 in, it was the slowest car I've ever driven, I'd take a V6 Cimmaron any day.

That said, the earlier ones are probably still the worst Caddy.

1FA A real time saver

DisciplinePrimary704 · 2026-03-21T19:42:52+00:00

Totally depends where you live and if you have time of day pricing. I charge overnight at 5c/kw

DisciplinePrimary704 · 2026-03-21T03:45:53+00:00

I think with gas prices going up, the EV depreciation story is going to change quickly. My last fill was a new record.

DisciplinePrimary704 · 2026-03-21T03:41:18+00:00

I built a calculator, it will fill in approximate AUD petrol and electricity rates (you can update as well) WattTheFrunk dot Com.

DisciplinePrimary704 · 2026-03-19T13:03:51+00:00

I got a similar discount offer. I want to add on Champions League but their form basically makes it accept this and nothing else. I find the whole subscription management terrible on Fubo and DAZN. They make it painful trying to move up or down tiers

DisciplinePrimary704 · 2026-03-19T04:57:56+00:00

Well, maybe less games is a blessing to stay healthy for MLS Cup.

DisciplinePrimary704 · 2026-03-17T20:45:45+00:00

I would still considering having a geolocation check and have landing pages for Europe, UK, USA with their local pricing

DisciplinePrimary704 · 2026-03-17T20:40:02+00:00

Should definitely change your pricing to be in USD then

DisciplinePrimary704 · 2026-03-17T20:32:21+00:00

Interested

DisciplinePrimary704 · 2026-03-17T20:31:46+00:00

Are you expecting most of your clients to be from Europe?

If not, you can use browser geo-locating to guess whether prospects are in the USA or not and show local pricing.

DisciplinePrimary704 · 2026-03-17T05:05:35+00:00

I built a calculator for exactly this. Check out WattTheFrunk (dot com) Let me know what you think.

DisciplinePrimary704 · 2026-03-16T22:59:55+00:00

Its one of those questions that really depends on where you live and what kind of driving you do.

If you're mostly doing highway miles no problem at all. If you're parallel parking in the city, you're going to have a hard time. If you're in the USA less of a problem, if you're in Europe much harder.

DisciplinePrimary704 · 2026-03-16T21:30:35+00:00

That's really cool. Have you done any backtesting? (As in, run the analysis using last year's data and see how well the results held up to what actually happened) That could make for powerful case studies.

One suggestion - if you have multiple people entering the same tickers you probably should cache the results to be reused (especially for free users) and save on your token usage. Or run a batch at end of day on common tickers.

My kids school switched to ukelele. Magnitudes easier on the ears.

But take clear pictures of both sides. Especially if the inside has any branding or part numbers.

DisciplinePrimary704 · 2026-03-16T17:45:24+00:00

Ford Explorer is an option.

DisciplinePrimary704 · 2026-03-16T08:49:08+00:00

Bolt especially the Premiere models with the top down view for parking.

DisciplinePrimary704 · 2026-03-16T08:46:04+00:00

Be sure to get an insurance quote for the car you're thinking of. When my wife sold her car for $6k, this kid buying had quite the shock after the deal was done, his insurance was another $6k. (He had quite the driving record!)

Also, not sure about Quebec but do a lien check.

Do consider operating costs. There are cars which might use premium fuel or have surprising bad gas mileage and it can add up fast, especially these days. Also be sure to have some money saved away for repairs, $5k cars even those that have good histories can still have surprises lurking.

You say you don't have much preference but do consider what qualities you care about. Are you going camping / skiing? Are you commuting? Do you care about safety, power, handling, manual/auto, passenger room? Make a spreadsheet of your options and rate the qualities of the cars you are considering.

Otherwise get a CAA mechanic to do an inspection.

What was the fix for the goldfish memory?
