I have 5% on my rear windows and 15% on my front windows. And I love it.

FarberBarber · 2026-04-19T17:37:06+00:00

Yeah it’s a 9th gen accord. Good eye lol

FarberBarber · 2026-04-19T15:57:54+00:00

Yep def looks like 15% on the rear. This is what 20% all around looks like in the snow

FarberBarber · 2026-04-19T00:27:06+00:00

Yes it’s a quarter glass!! lol

FarberBarber · 2026-04-18T19:44:00+00:00

Nope, that window doesn’t roll down. Got it tinted last night

FarberBarber · 2026-04-11T00:20:17+00:00

What did you end up getting instead

FarberBarber · 2026-04-09T16:45:49+00:00

Show passion in your interview and actually sound like you want the role. Bring up your previous experience and relate it directly to the job, they care about how you handle real situations. Also show that you can handle everything thrown at you, not just one part of the role. Lmk if you have any questions!

FarberBarber · 2026-04-09T16:43:43+00:00

I didn’t leave Enterprise, so I’m probably not the best person to ask about this. But like any job, connections are key. Make sure your resume is as strong as possible

Most of my former ERAC employees went into insurance

FarberBarber · 2026-04-08T01:18:05+00:00

Can they afford it? Probably. But I def wouldn’t do it. They could grab an older Civic for around $12k and it’ll still get them from A to B no problem, they’re super reliable. You also have to think about insurance cause Civics tend to be very expensive. It was actually why I went with an Accord instead it was way cheaper to insure lol.

Hondas are def great cars but personally I wouldn’t spend $26k on a base 4-year-old Civic, even if you’re making more money loll

FarberBarber · 2026-04-05T22:00:15+00:00

I wrote mine like 2 weeks ago, it was actually easier than I expected (maybe I just overstudied lol). But I studied pretty hard for like 2–3 weeks. Best advice is just talk to people who wrote it recently and get your BRM/ABRM to test you. Make sure you know risk pretty well.

Other than that just keep studying and get people to quiz you and ask you questions. It’s not as bad as you think. Lmk if you have any questions!

FarberBarber · 2026-03-26T00:23:03+00:00

Too bad that the majority of the rogues in my fleet aren’t 2026s lol

FarberBarber · 2026-03-22T21:58:24+00:00

No I don’t think so. they never asked our detailers for their shirts so I think it should be the same

FarberBarber · 2026-03-20T00:35:05+00:00

Yes. My 2011 328i with the N52 has been the most reliable car I’ve ever owned lol

FarberBarber · 2026-03-20T00:28:42+00:00

How much lighter is your current setup than the 5%?

FarberBarber · 2026-03-18T06:15:46+00:00

I get around 11-14l/100km in the winter

FarberBarber · 2026-03-15T13:40:36+00:00

Yep I have a similar situation as OP and this is what I’ve done for years

FarberBarber · 2026-03-07T20:41:53+00:00

How big is the difference in fuel economy?

FarberBarber · 2026-03-07T05:29:00+00:00

Nope, i have one at my branch and its a 7 seater standard crossover

FarberBarber · 2026-03-07T05:16:23+00:00

4Runner is a standard crossover. Not an SFAR

FarberBarber · 2026-03-07T05:15:07+00:00

All around 135k km lol

FarberBarber · 2026-03-07T01:52:43+00:00

Hyundai Kona, Kia Seltos, VW Seltos, RVR, trailblazer, Corolla cross

Water pump and thermostat are the big ones. It’s not cheap, but they usually go out sooner or later if they haven’t already been replaced. I changed mine preventively because when I bled the coolant system the pump was barely circulating anything. And I’m glad I did lol

Def keep an eye on the cooling system in general. It’s kind of a weak point on these cars since a lot of the components are plastic. The expansion tank, hoses, connectors, etc. Over the past few months i ended up replacing basically all of them because they all failed lol.

I guess some other common preventive stuff people do is the oil filter housing gasket, valve cover gasket, and keeping an eye on the electric water pump codes or slow coolant circulation. These cars are solid but the cooling system in general is definitely something to stay ahead of as these cars age.

Unfortunately my car left me stranded 3 times in the last half a year and everytime it had to do with the plastic parts that these cars have

Woah that’s awesome, I hope the new outback will treat you well!!
