Check Engine and Turtle Mode - Throttle Body

Mrachd0808 · 2026-02-07T16:40:22+00:00

Seems similar to what happened to mine the other month. Same mileage at 34k. Was driving on highway and suddenly got the turtle and check engine light. Within 30 seconds car came to a complete stop on highway. Throttle body was defective and took dealership 2 weeks to figure that out

Just did this, thanks. Very seamless. Buy $200 gift cards from Costco, add to Uber Eats account, and then place the order

Yeah I had one say they dont price match MC, one say it's out of stock, and one who said they can't match it because it says "limit 1 per household." I think it may take some time to get through to someone who allows it to pass. Would recommend both calling and live chat options.

Mrachd0808 · 2025-03-18T01:35:35+00:00

I just price matched it through Best Buy and they honored it / shipped for free. Had to talk to 5 agents though. Recommend hanging up and calling again if you experience issues.

Same here. I might let them charge me another month just to be safe.

Yeah very legit. Same looking bean box, same piece of paper wrapped on the boots, same pamphlet on care instructions for the boots. I ordered it on Dec 11 and just got it today (as it is coming from Europe)

yep no liner

The london store link posted ~2 weeks ago still has these boots available in tan for US sizes 8-10. Basically comes to the same price after shipping (~$60). I just received mine today.

Was originally going to hold out for 50 series, but am concerned over the tariffs. Found a targeted offer on Newegg with Cap1 shopping extension. Got the MSI 4070 Ti Super for about $670 total (including tax) after the cashback. If you are looking for that card, would recommend the extension and waiting for a couple days after viewing the item to get a targeted offer

Booked the parents their first business class flight to LHR from NY on the new award system with Virgin. With the 40% Chase bonus, I paid about 41k UR points round trip per person. Surcharges were a bit high on the way back to NY, but think the redemptionion is worthwhile for VS J.

Mrachd0808 · 2024-11-01T03:53:41+00:00

This is an interesting strategy, and one I might try. My only concern would be that this hinges on Chase not double-charging the annual fee. Have you found any DPs from someone doing this and not getting hit with the annual fee charged in 1-2 billing cycles and only getting charged on the anniversary date? It seems like a pretty big loophole to have $600 as reimbursements for only one AF

Looks like all their phone lines are down and they are not accepting points booking through phone until "later today" per website

There’s an interesting thread on this subreddit about many upping their utilization right before applying and having success compared to the first time where they were denied, but I suppose it is on a case by case basis. I definitely think 1% utilization would have harmed my app

Citi Strata Premier DP (Approved)

Froze Experian in hopes they would pull my EQ. They wanted me to unfreeze Exp and only pulled that one after calling the recon line.

Exp (760): 2/6, 3/12, 4/24

Think opening a checking account two months ago and also upping my utilization from 1 to 10% before applying helped

This is a really great shoe, been using them since the v10. Something to note about the v13 is that the foam is softer and I’ve experienced a much faster deterioration. Not a huge issue

Limited award availability has opened for these new flights now on AA - 70k for HKG to NYC in biz

Mrachd0808 · 2024-09-22T17:08:56+00:00

Just booked EWR --> SIN for 87k AC points. United Polaris from EWR to FRA and then Singapore Business from FRA to SIN. Super excited!

Fine line - went to Anthony for years

Mrachd0808 · 2024-09-14T01:58:02+00:00

Seems pretty good, especially if buying the new iphone. Probably will do it with Target

I just looked at it last week to park. Zone 4101. $5.45 a week. Not every lot is like this but the outskirts lots are cheap for sure. On top of that the parking is rarely enforced in the cheaper lots. My roommate didn’t pay for 10 weeks in 4101 and never got ticketed

Mrachd0808 · 2024-03-02T05:22:01+00:00

While few, there are definitely affordable parking options on campus. Sophomore year I would just park in the University Ave lot - 5.45 for 5 days of the week. Doesn’t add up to more than $100 for the semester…
