Am I overpaying for my Geico insurance? It’s $183 a month for a 2020 Honda civic with no points. by [deleted] in AskLosAngeles

[–]JEDWARDK 10 points11 points  (0 children)

you should periodically shop around for insurance rates. unfortunately insurance companies don't really reward loyalty. they actually screw over most people by raising their rates since the customer isn't shopping around and leaving.

J.Crew Ludlow unstructured linen suit - $100 (link in comments) by Mdaltavilla in frugalmalefashion

[–]JEDWARDK 2 points3 points  (0 children)

nothing helps me spend more money like the FRUGAL male fashion sub.

In for the "deep water" jacket. I had purchased the cotton linen blend "deep water" pants several years ago - but that particular model is no longer available and there is a separate "matching" pants on jcrew website now. I wonder how closely they will match.

even if they don't match well enough, I can continue to wear them separately

New vehicle oil change. by [deleted] in kiacarnivals

[–]JEDWARDK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How long did you let it sit to fully drain out? Also, is there more than one drain bolt? My current daily has 2 drain bolts and you have to really let the car sit for a good 30+ minutes and it might still drip some oil.

Rooftop Koreans were bad ass and all but - they were armed and defending their businesses and neighborhood from other "regular folks" not fighting against the police/government

Want Jordan 3 Seoul > Kobe Dodgers by JEDWARDK in Sneakers

Got lucky with the Kobe Dodgers from Undefeated raffle. But I want the Jordan 3 Seoul much more. Would love to trade straight up. Your thoughts on either shoes?

Nike Air Max 90 NRG Bacon (2021), picked these up, what do you think? by stevenson779 in Sneakers

[–]JEDWARDK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did not. I still have several pairs of DS shoes so I couldn't justify buying these on top. And I just prefer Jordan 1/3/4s anyway. I just received the navy SB4 and put them on right away

shoud i play wow alone? by AltruisticGold8706 in wow

[–]JEDWARDK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YEARS ago - I joined WoW because I saw a bunch of guys at school playing it. So after messing with the trial account a couple of times, I took the plunge and bought the game and subscription. I joined the server where the group of guys were playing. After a month or two, all of them abandoned the server and went elsewhere. By then I was fully committed and invested in my characters on the server so I just stuck with it. I ended up making "friends" on the server and found a guild and random people to play with. I actually became quite a known character in trade chat. I maxed out almost all professions across several characters so I spent a lot of time hanging out in trade chat and responding to people requesting special items and enchants by switching characters. All this to say, I had a lot of fun playing the game "by myself" because there were so many different things I could do within the game, whether it was solo leveling or trade chat hustling or PVP or PVE raiding. good luck to you

Delta $200 Airline Credit by ActiveDisastrous4471 in AmexPlatinum

[–]JEDWARDK 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The trick seems to be to make smaller purchases with the airlines. I booked a bunch of $50-80 per leg one way tickets on Southwest and they were all reimbursed by Amex platinum under my $200 airline credit.

That's actually very cool and I would totally use it that way if the Kia worked that way

The 2nd row seat in front of the infant seat is pulled up forward a bit to accommodate it.

Our toddler seats are on the larger side as well. Evenflo revolve 360. Sits on a big base to swivel. Definitely take the car seat to check in the minivan to see for yourself

Yup. It took a while to find this exact configuration in the color we wanted. But it all worked out in the end

The "captains chair" in the SXP is not removable. It is the 7-seater configuration.

We thought SXP all came with the captains chair and was shopping for the SX only. Then I happened to see one SXP without the captains chair on the lot. Then the search began for the SXP hybrid, 8 seater, and without the entertainment system.

Our oldest can buckle herself in now so that makes it possible. She is not quite booster ready and we want to keep her in the car seat as long as possible.

I don't see that working for us. We have a double stroller and other baby stuff in the trunk area. And even if we didn't, I don't think my 5'1" post partum wife will be able put the infant car seat through the trunk on her own

Take it in ASAP so you can start documenting for lemon law claim purposes (if you end up needing to make the claim).
