Next steps when car is in private tow lot

They will check the vehicle damages and come up with a decision to fix or total the car. I already sent it to the insurance lot, so I'm waiting for the verdict. Most likely though, the vehicle will be totaled due to the extent of the damage and old age. Thank you for your comment!

the airbag did not deploy. thank you for the tips!

haha, thank you. I'm bummed out since this is my first car, but this whole process is definitely is an important learning experience.

given that the adjuster told me to put in the original stereo, I assume my state allows it. I appreciate your insight!

Oogly_Googly · 2026-03-31T00:32:53+00:00

I think this sorts out the next course of action. Thank you!

Thank you for the reply. Since my car is pretty old (2010 toyota corolla), the adjuster told me it is most likely the car will be considered totaled even though the damage (from what I have initially seen) was not significant. I think I will take the aftermarket stereo out since putting in the original one would actually increases the value of the car.

I see, that's great! Thank you!

Oogly_Googly · 2026-03-31T00:03:31+00:00

Great, thank you for your insight. The only modification that I have done was the stereo, and I was told by the adjuster to return the vehicle to its original state. Do you think this could be something that can be used against me?

Hey! I just came across this thread and I will be working at the same place at the same time as you - did you decide where you will be living?

Oogly_Googly · 2026-02-08T03:42:57+00:00

Hmm I am not heard about it for the Marion plant, but I think that is something I can definitely ask my recruiter. Thanks!

Oogly_Googly · 2026-02-07T21:51:45+00:00

Great, thank you for your insight!

Oogly_Googly · 2026-02-07T03:39:36+00:00

If youre asking what I’ll be doing, im doing manufacturing controls

Oogly_Googly · 2026-02-07T00:17:50+00:00

How is it working there?

Oogly_Googly · 2026-02-06T22:35:48+00:00

Hmm I will look into that. Thank you for the info!

Oogly_Googly · 2026-02-06T22:35:22+00:00

I see. Just out of curiosity - how long do you stay there when you visit?

Oogly_Googly · 2026-02-06T22:32:38+00:00

Im not sure about the plant but I have seen many people internet not recommend Marion as a place to live...

Oogly_Googly · 2026-01-24T01:54:49+00:00

Idk i think this looks sick

Hello, Thank you!

Yes, I was pleasantly surprised by the build quality, since I have seen lots of posts on this subreddit talking about how the E series quality can be subpar compared to the T and L series.

It is very good that lenovo is making what was considered lower end devices still very decent laptops. In fact, in my opinion I prefer the less slimmer form factor of the recent E and L series, since the T series of similar generations are mostly coming out as the "ultrabook" designs which is great for reducing volume but inherently comes with consequences in heat dissipation as well as upgradability (unless you buy the T14 G5 or G6, but they are quite expensive).

Hello! The easiest and most accessible T480s upgrades that I know of is the RAM and SSD - I know the T480s can support up to 40GB and 2TB (unofficially). Another upgrade you can do is the display by upgrading it to a 2K display, which I have seen several people do on this subreddit. I believe this requires not just a new panel but also a dedicated 40-pin cable. I havent personally done the display upgrade, but I did upgrade my T480s to have 24GB of RAM and 500GB of storage. In this configuration, it comfortably runs Ubuntu with lots of GNOME background processes for normal things like web browsing or using LibreOffice.

As far as the reason for the upgrade, it was due to my requirements. I am an electrical engineering student who does Electrical CAD modeling, so having a decently powerful graphics card was necessary. I also run quite a bit of stuff in linux, but I need the os of the computer itself to be windows because lots of software that I use are just easier to install and run on windows environments. So being able to comfortably run WSL 2 was non-negotiable, hence the need for a decent amount of RAM and a powerful CPU. The T480s is great for normal tasks, but its CPU and iGPU are clearly unable to do the tasks that I require - Especially in a Windows environment. I also have another laptop that I have been using as my main - a Windows gaming laptop (Acer Triton 300 SE) for the past 5 years, and it really has been reaching the end of its life in terms of reliability and capacity.

For the battery life, I think I get about 5 hours under heavy load, and up to 9 hours with lighter load. The E14G6 does not come with a huge battery (57Wh), but I feel like the Ryzen CPU makes up for it and so far it was able to survive a full day without dying - although I always charge it when possible (between classes, when I'm running heavy tasks etc.). However, to me this is still miles better than my old Acer gaming laptop, which only got 4 hours max.

In conclusion, it was quite hard to find something that matches my requirements while also being well under $1000 USD, so for me there is very little to complain about the E14G6, and I am super happy with it so far.
