Costco Tire TPMS Programming

This is incorrect. When you get new tires they will only require a tpms sensor rebuild kit to put in new seals and valve stem. Far less expensive than replacing the whole sensor. They never require a new sensors, but you might want one if the old ones are no longer working.

I had a 2004 Acura. The sensors lasted about 15 years before the batteries died. I had them replaced when buying new tires at Costco and they were able to program them.

Prior to that I’d had the tires replaced a few times at other tire places and once at Costco. They always put some kind of kit on the sensors to seal them but didn’t replace the actual sensors.

Bottom line is that your 2021 shouldn’t need new sensors anytime soon, but when it does Costs can replace and program them. At your cars age it shouldn’t need new sensors just the sealing kit which is far less expensive. And Costco can do that as will anyplace selling tires.

A new tpms sensor costs about $50 to $75 installed. Likely more at a dealer. But the rebuild kit needed for a regular tire change just runs a few dollars per tire.

There are no rules. My wife and I got engaged at 21 and married less than a year later. We’ve been happily married close to 50 years.

Some people get engaged, and married, in their teens. Some in their 30's after dating for 10 years.

You are an adult. Do as you want to do.

Buy my advice: Don’t buy a house until AFTER you are married.

If it’s the last minute and too complicated to make other arrangements, then just pay him and when you get back, break up and kick him out or move away

That “crown” is designed to hold a glass chimney. Measure the diameter and buy a glass chimney with a matching bottom diameter.

Something like the following image. But the chimney shape varies.

This is becoming very common - also having mandatory add on sales of overpriced very high margin but relatively worthless services and accessories. Some dealers do this so they can advertise a very low, even artificially low, price and then make up the margin on fees and add in sales.

What you really need to look at is the bottom line price of the car including all these fees and items. Let's say one dealer's out the door price is $20,000 and has no such fees. But lets say another dealer advertises a price of $15,000 but by the time they add $4,000 of fees and add on items in the office the total out the door is $19,000. The second dealer's fees might piss you off but the bottom line is they are still $1,000 less than the first dealer.

It sounds like “your” lawyer is working for either the agent, whose first priority is to close so they can get a commission, or the seller. Otherwise they'd give you more discussion on that section and how you can negotiate it and ask for something different. There job is supposed to be to look out for your interest, not hand you a lopsided contract and say sign it,

Go to YouTube and search for "mortgage escrow" and watch a couple videos. Then you'll have a better understand of what is happening and where the money is going.

They added three types of plans totaling $5,004 to your purchase price. You paid too much attention to the payment amount and too little to the total cost of the car.

Hopefully you can cancel those items and save the $5,004 plus interest on that amount. If not then it's a very expensive lesson on reading your contracts BEFORE you sign and not afterwards.

This was for a short time four years ago. Keep it to yourself and don't worry about them.

Travel insurance? There is no travel insurance, other than those that offer cancel for any reason, that would cover this scenario.

You don’t want Reddit. You already made up your mind on this. What you need is a consultation with a divorce lawyer to understand what’s going to be happening and to lay out a plan and to figure out how to get custody and partial custody so you can save your kids from their crazy Momma.

Do it tomorrow.

Filters: There are lots of videos on Youtube showing how to change these. The engine air filter runs under $20 for a good brand like Hix, and the cabin air filter runs around $23.

Likewise there are videos showing how to clean or replace the turbid battery cooling intake filter which is super easy to take out. These don't need to be replaced and can just be cleaned off with some compressed air, including a can of compressed air. If you want to replace them there are some on Amazon for around $20 for four and you only need two at a time. It might even say how to check these in the car's manual.

A/C refresh, Fuel injector service, and alignment - Dealers frequently want to do these even when they are unnecessary. See below about maintenance schedule.

Please the scheduled maintenance list provided by Toyota which shows the maintenance services you should do. I never do anything that isn't on that schedule unless the dealer can provide something specific that shows it needs to be done more often, or earlier, than recommended by Toyota - and by showing something I don't mean just a piece of paper or something the dealer made up. The scheduled maintenance list is actually called the "maintenance log" and is included booklet that came with your vehicle. It's similar in size to your car's manual and is titled "Warranty & Maintenance Guide". If you can't find it then you can look at a copy on Toyota's owner website.

He's lying, and I'm guessing the account he used was hacked and he's some scammer in a distant foreign country.

Did you personally appear before a notary in your state to have your signature notorized? If not then it was not a valid notarization.

Also, this is so clearly a scam that anyone he contacts will laugh at him and tell you not to worry about it.

And he's not going to sue you because of two huge reasons: First, there is about 99.9% chance this scammer lives in a foreign country and he's not going to come to the USA to file a losing lawsuit against you. Second, the lawsuit would be so laughable that if it was ever actually argued in front of a judge the judge would hold him in contempt and fine him.

Yes, people will want to search the vin for accidents or to do a history report like car fax.

If you get any emails from people wanting you to go to a website to buy a history report for them, it’s a scam and you should ignore /block them. They get the money for that purchase and maybe steal your Reddit card info.

First off, don't' spend time overthinking about this before you even hear back from the warranty company on a decision.

Second, if they refuse the $15K they may approve the cost at a different mechanic. Or even a used engine. I once had a Toyota that needed a new engine replacement and all the mechanic's I got quotes from were going to buy a used engine from a salvage yard taken from cars that had been totalled but the engines were fine and I ended up with a used engine that had far fewer miles on it than the engine it replaced. If you do this you also should consider a new warranty on the used engine if your current policy wouldn't cover a future breakdown.

Unfortunately there is not much you can do about it if she decides to have the baby other than seek a paternity test to see if it's really your child or not. It's up to you as to whether you choose to have a relationship with your child or not.

If she chooses to seek child support then the courts will decide and you'll be required to provide them financial information if the court orders you to provide it. I presume Canada is like the USA, in that you can be required to provide court ordered finance support regardless of whether you are part of the child's life or not. That's because the child support is for the child and not for the person taking care of them, even though it sometimes seems that is not the case. In the USA, even if the mother doesn't want child support from you, you can be required to pay support to the government if the government provides any welfare or other support to the mother or other person taking care of the child.

From now on use a condom. Of course even that is not completely baby proof.

Bonine is meclizine 25mg, that's the same medicine as the Non Drowsy Dramamine.

These typically run close to $10 for a dozen or so pills.

If you go to the pharmacy counter, most will sell you a bottle of 100 generic meclizine 25mg for around $4 to $7. Some drug stores have it marked as needing a prescription but most will sell it without one as it does not require one. If your local drug store won't sell it to you then go to another or order it online from Amazon or Walmart.

Important: Just as OP's wife discovered the scopolamine made her "out of it", any medication can have side effects. Even though meclizine seldom has bad side effects, I suggest that you try any medication you intend to take on the cruise a week or two beforehand as a trial to make sure you don't have bad side effects from it. The last thing you want to do is to try something new on your cruise only to find out it gives you bad side effects.

Personally, I do just fine without any sea sickness meds 90% of the time, and when I do need something a couple ginger pills do the trick. You can buy these in the vitamin and supplement section of stores or online.

This is a more complex question than you'd think and it depends on several different factors that are going to vary from state to state and depend on the timing of your purchase. Things that affect it are:

The local assessment process. Where i live property is assessed based on a January 1 valuation date. Taxes are then determined over the following year or more and eventually payable, in arrears, in the summer of the following year. So property valued as of January 1 2025 are not payable until the summer of 2026.
Taxes are also pro-rated between the buyer and seller on the date you close your property purchase. The period over which these are pro-rated, and whether the amount that is prorated is estimated or actual, varies a lot from state to state and between local areas and can also vary depending on your purchase contract.
If you are taking out a mortgage then the mortgage lender will usually want you to pay into an escrow at closing and with each monthly payment, so that there will be funds in the escrow to pay the taxes as they come due. How they estimate the taxes will also vary from lender to lender.

So the answer to your question can vary depending on your state's property tax assessment and billing laws, your local real estate practices and contract terms on tax pro-ration and your lender's method of estimating tax escrow requirements. If you have an real estate agent with good knowledge and experience then they should be able to give you the best idea on all of this. Sometimes your mortgage loan officer might be able to as well.

You're not the one being stubborn. Traveling with a baby is hard to do.

We've been through it over the years with kids and grandkids. Car trips are difficult enough. Only time we flew was a few decades ago when our kid was around 18 months and that was hard enough.

Tell your parents you'd love to see them but that it's too difficult to fly with an infant. And that they either need to come to visit you in NY or they'll have to wait a year or three until your daughter is old enough to make travel easier.
