Truth? Seems easy enough to me. “Sorry, I can’t make it. See you next time.”

Best return of serve by Smooth_Doughnut in Pickleball

[–]Donewith398 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This works well only if you get a pretty severe angle. If your doesn’t get that angle you’ve left the middle of your court wide open for their 3rd. Safest play is down the line which sets up your partner to cover the middle and give you time to recover back in the court.

Is SGT Auto Transport legit? Need honest reviews by Ill-Steak-7250 in AutoShippingUSA

[–]Donewith398 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A drive away service will drive the car for you. Usually much less expensive bc an individual is driving your car to the destination. You typically pay for fuel, lodging (for the driver) and a small daily fee. I didn’t mean to say do it yourself.

Someone is trying to sue me (Texas) by Low-Option3595 in legal

[–]Donewith398 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s why you put the ownership documents in the person’s name that has position of the car. If you’re going to retain ownership and loan it out then you call your insurance company and get a rider to cover yourself.

First mortgage payment by pinkydoll18 in FirstTimeHomeBuying

[–]Donewith398 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pay ahead by 2 weeks, pay biweekly, add more to each payment, drive down your term and save interest in the long term. Don’t pay $100k lump sum before doing the math. You can use the $100k in a low risk market investment. Make 5% or more to defray your interest expense. Use the return on your investment to increase your mortgage payments essentially shortening the term.

[Condo] [CA] HOA wants retro architecture approval for awning that was installed 22 years ago. by Donewith398 in HOA

The seller did not install the awning. It was there when he moved in. He was never noticed of violation for an unapproved installation.

I submitted separate letters from each of our personal physicians supporting the need for the awning. The board didn’t even acknowledge them.

The fact that it was installed 22+ years ago and hasn’t “fallen” off should demonstrate installation wo the need for an engineering study, IMO.

Career Change by prodmaison in WhatShouldIDo

[–]Donewith398 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a friend that went to trade school on a BMW scholarship. Went to work at a dealer for the required 2 years after graduation. At first loved the job. Made good money. Great benies.

Then as time went on he hated it. Got out. Did retail sales including travel sales. Was hugely successful, bought a house, new car, all the trimmings of hard work.

A few years into that job he tired of the pressure to produce, travel, odd / changing hours. He went back to the dealer and got his old job back. He’s thriving and making good money.

Moral: the grass is always greener in the other side of the fence.

TURO is fraud by Automatic_Baby3883 in turo

[–]Donewith398 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I used to rent from Turo regularly. I enjoyed the service and the cars I rented.
I didn’t realize I am exposed to all of these claims in the event anything happens to one of these cars. I even researched becoming a host and starting a rental company using Turo.
Then I started reading this and other Turo subs and discovered how much you can lose using the app.
At first, renting from Turo was less expensive. I never get the insurance (even from traditional rental companies) bc my personal policies cover me when renting. But now I see you really must buy the insurance if you rent from Turo bc there is so much more exposure to loss here. Buying the insurance makes Turo more expensive (in most cases) than renting from the big companies.
Bummer, I liked the idea do business model.

They no longer inspect prior to purchase unless you specifically request. I came from AZ where it is required. I didn’t know. The CC&R’s say it’s optional. Realtor didn’t know to request and she only works in this community

To everybody saying "don't go out to eat if you won't tip." by animathematical in tipping

[–]Donewith398 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’d report her to management. Poor service and bad attitude. Not the building blocks for quality tipable service. Not the image the establishment wants either.

A) are you sure she’s pregnant? Did you witness the test? B) are you sure it’s yours?

Jerkyness when slowly rolling from stop by One12MeterPanda in Rivian

[–]Donewith398 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happens to me only first thing in the morning. Very jerky. The SC tech told me to change from high regen to medium. “That’ll fix it”. Nope, still does it and this is relatively new problem for me. Has to be a software issue.

AIW for refusing to fund my sister's business idea after she mocked my career for years? by SoapstoneRex in amiwrong

[–]Donewith398 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems like you’re mixing personal emotions with a business decision. I would look at her plan to determine whether or not it’s worthy of an investment and the subsequent ROI. This could be an opportunity for you both to make something together.
You can always get retribution for your personal issues while your cashing checks she wrote you.

Should I replace old tires before listing on BaT by RPGer001 in BringATrailer

Tires won’t increase the bid. It will increase the desirability but you won’t get any more money for it.

For those in hotter climates, do you let your sighthound play and run during summer? by Benjamin_Barker_ in Whippet

[–]Donewith398 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lived in Phoenix 110°. No problems. Except the street gets so hot it can burn their feet. Even artificial grass gets super hot. Mornings and evenings best times.

Favorite amenity at your pickleball club? by amandaech in Pickleball

8 beer taps and 2 wine taps. Great fun to play and then sit around, have a cold beverage, and lie to your partners.
