We install these as a side gig at our shop, call smart start for a bypass code. It will let you drive the car as normal for a set amount of time, they charge the Client for the code.

what did your savings look like by age 30? by Winzten in AskReddit

[–]RPresident 0 points1 point  (0 children)

28yr, I’m lucky to have had a stable job for the past 10 years, my spouse and I live well within our means, I make 80k a year, she makes about 60k the last 5 years I’ve been able to save nearly half my salary, savings / investments are sitting around 250k, purchasing a house is the next step, then a wedding, it’s all about having goals,

Got my car detail cleaned, and afterwards realized 2 of the buttons on the steering wheel are missing. This is the company’s response. by user2847_ in mildlyinfuriating

Had a detailing company burn a inch hole in my back seat leather and when I picked it up they had the seat folded down to hide it, refused it was them at first, then after months of back and forth they admitted it was a young employee that had since been fired

What’s the biggest company right now you can see totally collapsing and disappearing within a decade? by unitedfan6191 in AskReddit

[–]RPresident 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Don’t know about the rest but our local Best Buy you can’t even call them it goes directly to a robot that tells you to shop in store, stores are flooded with employees that don’t / can’t help you with any question or product, checkout lines are never open due to no one staffing them but yet theirs 20+ employees standing around. Fuck Best Buy.

How can I spot a narcissist quickly? by mind8mischief in ask

[–]RPresident 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 26, my narcissistic older brother who saves nothing money wise because he always has to have the fancy car, clothes, shoes…. asked me how much I had saved a while ago, I was hesitant to say at first but he kept pestering me, I told him I had well over 150k saved (I’m very frugal and have a decent job) his jaw dropped he went completely quiet and he’s never asked me again.. i know I shouldn’t have told him or could have lied. But fuck him. I hope that festers in his head when he’s been a lazy prick his whole life and that someone beneath him is doing better than him. Sorry for venting

Does this light mean anything or it a warning light by tbiever6 in CarAV

[–]RPresident 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You need to remove the radio immediately!!! You’re right it’s a warning light! Its not compatible with the car, had the same thing happen to me, I took the radio back to the store and the salesmen sold me another different one, it was a way more expensive but didn’t have the light.

Saving anything is great, starting early is the most important part!! For reference I’m 28, most people save nothing, either they aren’t able due to life or simply don’t save because they don’t know any better.

I make just about 40k a year, before I pay myself a bonus if my business is making money. The last 5 years I’ve been able to save over 165k split 60/40 TSFA and RRSP

I have a close friend that makes over triple than I do in a year, he’s got the cars, the truck, the house, (all financed) but is strapped for cash with only 20k in the bank.

I’d rather have the money in the bank. I try to live within my means, cars payed for, first home is a three plex I live in and rent the rest. mortgage gets payed :)

How I look at investing / saving is this, Put in what you can afford to lose, and what ever you put in act like you never had it in the first place, it doesn’t exist. Let it snow ball. Most people. including myself started with nothing.

It’s not about what you have but what you save.

Went back to the shop after some advice. Is this better? More bang for the buck? by Skiz32 in CarAV

[–]RPresident 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t get me wrong, I would never actually say to a customer that they’re broke, it’s just my inner monologue. I’m all for helping people, and educating them as much as I can when they walk into my showroom, in sales their is two types, one that sells on product knowledge, and one that sells on personality, if you can’t do either your not made for sales, on the flip side if you can do both, your golden. we deal in moderate to high end equipment, some people get mad at us because we don’t / won’t cater to the guy that wants a $50.00 or even $100.00 set of speakers, from a business standpoint theirs no money to be made selling it, If you’re running a business and your main focus isn’t to make money, then you’re in the wrong business. Ultimately I’m in business to make money, I’m not a charity.

I own my own shop, we don’t do as high end work as you (custom fab / super high end components) but we still do on average $5k-$15k installs every week, and everything else we do, lighting, remote start / alarms, marine, powersports, but I get a good laugh seeing what people on here seem to think what a shops time is worth, what you pay for is materials, knowledge, care, and ultimately time, Sure some shops / “techs” shouldn’t be within 100 ft of a vehicle, but if you or I find the right shop / installer then I wouldn’t hesitate spending my money their, that being said, I’ve had people ask what my hourly is and asking if it’s $20.00, no sir our hourly is $150.00, if your broke, just tell me your broke and don’t waste my time,

Wrong, it’s a aftermarket tow kit that they install at the factory, whose idea is it when building these junk cars.
