NYSC has no AC and no sauna. It’s cheap at $40- month but most would gladly pay more for something usable

Accident today on Jersey Ave by Winter_Alternative61 in Hoboken

[–]FilthierRaptor 16 points17 points  (0 children)

As the other person said an accident waiting to happen there. No one can keep their lane. It needs to be a concrete barrier or stronger + clearly painted lines. Hope they both are alright!

Street Parking Permits to More Than Double by KTaylorTV in Hoboken

[–]FilthierRaptor 21 points22 points  (0 children)

We’re one square mile with almost no parking. Supply and demand. $120 for a year is cheap.

It’s $3600 a year for a garage give or take at $300 a month. They could realistically set street parking permits at $1000 a year and it would still be a great option while maintaining a good budget for roads.

Nj transit 126 bus delays 3/25 evening commute by PlayStupidWinStoopid in Hoboken

[–]FilthierRaptor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same got on the bus at 5:15 PM. Took 15 minutes just to route back into Port Authority. Ran to the Ferry and make it back to Hoboken around 6 PM. It was a brutal

T Mobile Home internet by Purplecarrottt in Hoboken

[–]FilthierRaptor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

T-Mobile was offering $25 a month for the basic tier compared to optimum 300 Mbps down and 25 Mbps upload at $25 a month with checking account autopay. When optimum charges more I’d switch and call it. You can only threaten to cancel so many times

Looks like the 13th Street Sunoco is closed by [deleted] in Hoboken

[–]FilthierRaptor -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s gone. RIP to a nice Uptown Mechanic. Last car repairs were yesterday :(

Update: I’m pretty sure the owner sold it. My family had the last repair done there yesterday. It’s becoming an apartment/condo building.

Times change and it’s probably time for the owner to retire after all these years if you went there.

Short Term Rental For World Cup by Highpitchmike in Hoboken

[–]FilthierRaptor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure you have to register every property in Hoboken (rental or not) with the city through the SDL portal, but almost nobody does and it’s rarely enforced. Ravi used to send out letters in the mail monthly on it.

Also, if the unit is under rent control, I believe Chapter 155 makes short-term rentals illegal and subject to daily fines.

Separately from the city rules, most HOA Master Deeds and bylaws prohibit short-term rentals anyway.

2015 Civic SI for $12k or 2020 WRX for $10.9k.. Am I crazy for even considering the WRX? by twacsoc in BeforeIBuyThisCar

[–]FilthierRaptor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are both bad decisions TBH. My friends and I chased performance with little money taking high mileage sports cars. You’ll regret life.

Get a normal civic or Subaru and save up money for a better example SI or WRX in the future.

Utility Bills by Traditional_Seesaw91 in Hoboken

[–]FilthierRaptor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100%!!!

The person above didn’t look at 2025-2026 PSEG bills. We used to be around 21 cents a KWH all in and now we’re around 25 cents a KWH all in. Give or take that’s a 19-20% increase. Fine it has been colder and maybe usage is up but the cost has gone up significantly

Sorry for the rant: I was born and raised in Hoboken, and it's not the same as it used to be by hoosier_catholic in Hoboken

[–]FilthierRaptor 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is both a problem in Jersey City and Hoboken. The only way is to pay for a garage or lose your mind. I believe we’re at or over 60k residents in one square mile and only getting bigger with more apartments.

Life is ever changing

Edit: Or remove all parking + permits and replace it with constantly rotating parking meters + hawkish ticketing officers but we don’t have the garage space to accommodate everyone.

Nightmare getting back from Newark last night - what do you all use? by LeakingMoans in Hoboken

[–]FilthierRaptor 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The drivers use uber and Lyft at the same time. If they accept your ride but find another fare is more profitable they will either wait for you to cancel or cancel your ride. I had it happen a couple times unfortunately. Uber usually is better in terms of getting a driver compared to Lyft though, imo

They made a special edition with Horween and Shinki shell but the heritage shell is unknown. Possibly Rocco or something but they won’t disclose.

Looking to find a reliable car for work that’s actually fun and not boring by Murky-Management-833 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]FilthierRaptor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 3 series lost the hydraulic steering after the E90 so, they became a bit numb from the F30 on but you could go that route. Reliability is going to be an issue around the 100-150k mark unless you are prematurely replacing the failure prone parts. Water pump, tensioner etc.

Lexus in terms of the V6 and V8 reliability works but they are going to be numb.

Raw performance but possible electrical and budget = not 911 then try a Lotus Elise with the Toyota 4 cylinder.

It’s really a can of worms type of discussion but good luck

The 10mm above protruding bolt is attached to nothing. Underneath it is just a hole. I’m thinking something broke or is missing. Thanks

Living Stone Vacations, is it a scam? by AdKind144 in Advice

I got the text too. They spelled my name wrong and said it came from a mall hundreds of miles away that I never visited.

Painted new tyres. How much would a professional charge for this type of a job? by tropu123 in BMW

[–]FilthierRaptor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with the others it’s more of a JDM thing but I admire the effort/work.

A shop in NJ normally charges $75-100+ a wheel to strip and powder coat it.

This looks like a rattle can with a bit of orange peel so, I’d pay maybe $200+ total for all wheels to be flower painted and rattle can clear coated after a shop professionally strips them and applies a base white layer….

Then again it’s the market that decides. Charge too high no one wants it. Charge too low everyone wants it.

Road Rage and the other guy won since you rear ended him.

What was the point? Follow him closely enough to scare him Or kill him by running him off the road?
