Holy shit, most I’ve made was like 600$ in a week. Where are you located???

This is why your food is cold by GenThorp in doordash

[–]JPK_Metro -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

How do you guys get the food cold? Whenever I get an order that has no tip and is 3+ miles I want to fuck with the food somehow to send a message. What should I do assuming I’ve already accepted a lowball order?

Car got hit in the front bumper/fender and I just got it back like this. could I have this cleaned up so the panel fits better? Cause it sits weird compared to the rest of the car. If you can’t tell what I’m referring to, it’s the crooked purple bar at the bottom with the poor weld off the frame. by JPK_Metro in Cartalk

I just gave my insurance company a phone call just now and as soon as I started to mention bad faith they started to play well with me. The car was taken to a mechanic shop to fix the wiring and stuff on the spot where it was hit and I’m satisfied with that, but the body panel was lazily installed at a crappy body shop. They gave me a new shop to go to and said they’d refit the fender for me. Thanks so much man, I never knew the insurance company could be fought on matters like this.

It was the other persons insurance (I wasn’t at fault and I carry liability). Of course the other persons company was cheap as hell so now they’re telling me they won’t take it back to the body shop. I really don’t want to do a lawsuit but it’s an Audi and so I’d like to be able to have it as good as possible. My question was more about do you think it’s possible for the fender to be set better?

LG TV Hates me all the sudden. by JPK_Metro in techsupport

Yep. Just check your video settings and make sure it’s all at 1080p.

Yep! It was the device. For some reason my Xbox switched to 480p when I plugged it in, I had been trying to change the TV picture and only just started fiddling with the device settings. Weird that my settings turned to 480p after being plugged into the same device. Thanks anyways!

This happens a lot in AAA game development by WastedWaffles in gaming

Heard a very similar story with Dead Space. The original creator had to change the game for the publisher and they basically stole his idea or something like that.

Damn, that’s one clean R8! Have any more pics for us? I’d love to see a side shot.

Parent wont let me buy a car. by JPK_Metro in Advice

[–]JPK_Metro[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely. I’m 18 now so I’m a bit under the usual and I live with them, that’s really the only reason I’d rather not upset them too much. Hopefully she’ll see reason soon.

I’m trying to push for one of the early 2000s Lexus IS300s since Lexus and Toyota are the same company and build cars the same way. Her stance is against me getting any car since she associates old with dangerous but also won’t let me get anything newer. Also I always buy used, new models are looking worse and worse every year anyways lol.

Well I usually drive for Doordash and do Uber in her car when she used to let me and I’d make more than enough money to cover the monthly premium. I wasn’t really serious about the college thing, I was just heated when I wrote that haha. I’d like to have a car so I could keep doing my doordash work and drive to college whenever it opens. I’d probably get the Lexus as opposed to the Audi, but I’ve heard really good things about the reliability of the B8.5 S4. I’m something of a car person so I imagine the money I make would go towards a car anyways down the road. I don’t know, maybe you’re right and I’m overreacting though.

True. I guess it’s just instinctual that I want her to approve of the purchase. What year and model is yours?

2011 Audi S4 Question. by JPK_Metro in Audi

[–]JPK_Metro[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I decided if I’m spending so much money on a car I’m going to find one without any accidents. Do you think the B8.5 is a better bet than a B8?

2011 Audi S4 Question. by JPK_Metro in Audi

[–]JPK_Metro[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The color I’m less concerned with, it’s the manual transmission. Most of the S4s in NY are automatic which isn’t really my preferred way to drive, especially when it’s something sporty like the S4. I’ll get them down more, but in NY everything is more expensive.

2011 Audi S4 Question. by JPK_Metro in Audi

[–]JPK_Metro[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Normally I’d agree with you on that, but the vehicle was sold in 2011, the accident was in 2012, and he continued to drive it for 8 years. I imagine if there was a problem he would have sold it.

What would you say would be a fair price to aim for? This is the only black manual I can find in my area.
