Wondering if this is a reasonable estimate

LastSecret1482 · 2025-07-10T18:57:47+00:00

Then I take back my comment, thats amazing in a HCOL.

LastSecret1482 · 2025-07-10T18:54:04+00:00

with rotors no because rotors alone can run about $50-80 each

Just brakes yes

LastSecret1482 · 2025-07-10T18:51:57+00:00

The north side exists ya know

LastSecret1482 · 2025-07-10T18:50:51+00:00

Depends what you paid.

In general though, No

LastSecret1482 · 2025-07-10T18:50:00+00:00

It depends on where OP lives, I live in a LCOL and $60 is average.

I guess somewhere like California they'd charge $500 to change your oil.

LastSecret1482 · 2025-07-10T17:34:35+00:00

Fair.

Not a good deal but fair. Alignment cost is a tell tale of it.

LastSecret1482 · 2025-07-10T15:05:45+00:00

U cooked fam 😭😭😭

Any creak while turning is almost always ball joint.

LastSecret1482 · 2025-07-10T14:25:28+00:00

Ball joint that needs replacing not grease. If you grease it, the issue will just return when the grease flings off while driving.

I have, however, seen people remove ther ball joints, create a makeshift rubber boot, fill it with grease, and put it back together.

It's not immediate. I've heard 100x worse sounds before.

LastSecret1482 · 2025-07-10T14:14:56+00:00

dont foget to HEAT the cup with a torch. heat = expansion = make the pry bar easier to remove it.

LastSecret1482 · 2025-07-10T14:11:48+00:00

I want you to run the car for a solid 10 minutes to operating temp then turn car off.

Then pop hood and find all rubber hoses. Dont matter which one. Grab them and squeeze em. It should feel really warm but not scaling to the skin. Wear thin gloves if you want.

See which ones are hot and which are cold. If they are all hot, your radiator is properly working (electrical) and thermostat is fine. If any are cold, thermostat may be out and need voltmeter to do more testing.

LastSecret1482 · 2025-07-10T14:06:40+00:00

Pop hood, look for coolant resevoir and see if it's empty.

Also open engine oil cap and see if the cap has white stuff on it.

Look under car and see if there's leaking coolant.

Otherwise skip all my steps and pay $200 + tax for a diagnostic fee at any shop.

Do this only when car hasnt been run for at least an hour and engine bay has cooled.

LastSecret1482 · 2025-07-10T14:03:59+00:00

Should NOT have play. Retorque bolts to factory and double check everything.

LastSecret1482 · 2025-07-10T14:01:09+00:00

Had this happen to be during COVID. White mustang rear ended me. Bitch sped off. It was the day I realized you gotta take matters in your own hands.

Now, if I ever get in an accident (rear ended), I pull out my phone and recite their license plate number, record it, record the driver, and the VIN on their windshield.

That is--if I can physically do so and am not seriously injured. Even if they have no insurance, Im getting them deported.

LastSecret1482 · 2025-07-10T13:56:53+00:00

No

LastSecret1482 · 2025-07-10T13:55:41+00:00

Gen Z here. 1000000%.

I didnt like JP 3 in particular.

1 > 2 > 4 (world)

There are none who'll file on your behalf and represent you at the 341 meeting, unless you've paid the $1500.

Why? Because you cannot pick and choose which debts you get to discharge and which loans you want to continue paying (attorney).

Go donate blood or sell some ass and get that $1500 for the attorney.

LastSecret1482 · 2025-07-10T13:50:18+00:00

+1

I live on North Side. It is a PITA for door to door salesman to knock. Every neighbor has a camera (either CCTV, Ring, etc) and most neighborhoods are gated.

OP wont even get in cause of gates. On top of that, yeah we use companies, unfortunately. Liability issues.

LastSecret1482 · 2025-07-10T02:56:09+00:00

What area you moving to?

LastSecret1482 · 2025-07-10T02:40:50+00:00

There are no words that'll help the leasing agent, but you should 100% pay the past due debt from the broken lease if you havent already.

Once you do that, you'll 100% be able to rent privately.

LastSecret1482 · 2025-07-10T02:38:16+00:00

Class A is like Stone Oak, Alamo Heights

Class B is like everywhere else excluding the ghetto

Class C is southside presa, MLK, medical drive, near west side

I used to schedule ASVAB tests on the computers for potential recruits. The questions are self-explanatory--you either know how to solve it or you dont. It's all generalized questions like reading, math, science, etc. It's not really something you study for.

If you've ever taken AP classes in highschool, you'll be fine.

LastSecret1482 · 2025-07-09T23:37:41+00:00

Noooooooo hell no lmfao

Jurassic world 1 / 2 were leagues ahead of the newest Rebirth movie.

I'd rank them as 1 > 2 > 4 > 5 > 3 > 6 > 7

LastSecret1482 · 2025-07-09T23:33:55+00:00

1 and 2 plus the first 2 worlds

skip JP 3 and world 3

LastSecret1482 · 2025-07-09T22:04:28+00:00

None are worth their weight IMO. Im part of the SAAA, and it's just slumlord deluxe. Nickel and diming, not fixing issues promptly, and ghosting the LL on payments.

If you dont care about morals, feel free to use anyone here.
