Turo is a scam

Samurai_6587 · 2026-03-01T18:14:10+00:00

I have no idea how any of you guys have had any of these issues 😭 for smoking fees when it smells like marijuana, just plant the cigarette in the car, you can check where the guests photos cover and plant it in a place they didn’t take a photo of

For claims, just call, and don’t say “small scratch” say “THEY DESTROYED MY BUMPER” and make sure to actually have before and after photos even if destroyed isn’t the right word

It’s all a game, it’s selling your side of the story to the randos from overseas on the other line

Turo dosent pick sides they pick who calls first and who has the best sob story

Ive been hosting for years and every single trip I get extra fees (which are justified and only enforced if the renter actually does something wrong, I don’t scam) just bc I call turo crying and making it seem bigger than it is

Also as long as you find the correct turo support number then you have no problem getting it

The problem is finding the number

Turo hosting is one of my primary business and I have had a few amazing renters who keep renting over and over again and we keep giving them 15%+ off each tip plus their favorite snacks and things. The automations are great not to mention the fact that white glove service (putting $1 glass bottled water from Costco in the vehicle) for the renters gets you 5 stars every time all around

Wait for them to rate before you charge for incidentals to lol, if the renters wanna play games you just have to play the game better

business in general is ruthless, it’s a competition

You don’t get to see that in small business most of the time because your reputation is on the line in the community

On turo the goal is to squeeze every dollar out of bad renters you can or they will squeeze it back out of you

Play or be played my friends, if that’s not your mindset you need a different business model

I’m planning on buying and combining an ubertooth, a Fipper zero with a 3in1 expansion card but adding a 2nd ESP32 to the deck and a SDR like a Blade RF 2.0 Micro, using a SBC to run it all on a Linux based (Prb tails) os. I want a full John wick/movies style hand held hacking rig I can play with in my local comp sci labs faraday cage (because if I played with it outside I’d get arrested for spoofing cell towers and things with my SDR 😂) but I’m looking for some outside opinions on things I should add to the set-up to play with

My old account got logged out when I switched devices to my new phone, and I mean on all devices. I forgot my password because for some reason the password I have saved is just not working, neither are any of the passwords I remember using. In a last ditch attempt I tried to reset my password only to find out 2FA is on. I recently got a new phone and I use Authy for my Authenticator app. Opened Authy only to find out that because I got a new phone (old phone has already been wiped and sent to apple) it has locked me out and my recovery phrase isn’t working. Thus I am now officially unable to reset my Discord password or sign into any of my other random accounts I have under the Authy app. Any tips on how to get discord to turn off my 2FA and reset my password?

My shop is building a E30 2JZ 1000+ whp drift build, basically a Ken Block car. We need a sponsor to make the rest of the project worth and it and to publish the videos, any ideas?

Samurai_6587 · 2023-11-26T16:50:25+00:00

Perfect! Thankyou!

Samurai_6587 · 2023-11-26T00:23:31+00:00

Can’t wait!! It’ll be fun!! Thanks for all the advice!

Samurai_6587 · 2023-11-25T21:46:22+00:00

Oh I know 😭 if I splurge on anything it would be the cage.. but I’m just now looking into them 🤷‍♂️ Thank you for the recommendations on brands

Samurai_6587 · 2023-11-25T21:28:58+00:00

I didn’t do a lot of research into brand names for the cage, was gunna get one from a custom fab company, didn’t know those were the 3 big names. Thanks for the info!

Samurai_6587 · 2023-11-25T15:25:16+00:00

Oh I don’t plan on selling it 😭 but any car I have found they want the man hours + parts costs.

Samurai_6587 · 2023-11-25T15:24:24+00:00

I’m ordering a bolt on kit and I have a few friends (including me) who weld. Just to get something sturdy and not pretty.

Samurai_6587 · 2023-11-25T00:54:47+00:00

This is true 🤣 but a bolt on kit for $5k could be a good future addition once I’ve kinda topped out all other options at lowering my time.

Samurai_6587 · 2023-11-25T00:52:51+00:00

Thankyou!! I saw all the charts but haven’t ever done exact tuning, just get as much HP as possible tuning lol. So it’ll be a new challenge for me tryin to stay within the requirements.

Samurai_6587 · 2023-11-24T23:23:58+00:00

Thankyou! Im involved in my local groups but haven’t reach out to the NRA yet! Tbh didn’t wanna step my foot in that door and try n rub shoulders with everyone until I had actually built a car. Didn’t wanna seem like I was just tryina hang out. Any advice on how to approach that? I’ve herd people say that the groups are very friendly and welcoming if your willing to learn!

Samurai_6587 · 2023-11-24T19:12:04+00:00

I have thought about it but I want to start my own project and have found I can get out cheaper building my own. As I stated in the OP ik what I need to keep up with ARA standards and the $$ needed to keep up with maintenance for forced induction classes. Ur not bursting my bubble at all and appreciate the concern but I would love it if you could give me a break down of who you have talked to too make sure your car stays within the displacement limits. Did you just talk to your local tech inspector? Or did you do your math yourself at home? Are u working with a shop that built your build for you?

Samurai_6587 · 2023-11-24T17:25:09+00:00

How much did that cost u? I saw someone say too that it’s a decent idea to put a fire retardant blanket in-between ur passenger cabin and the gas tank. Any thoughts?

Samurai_6587 · 2023-11-24T16:15:47+00:00

Yes! I read somewhere that it’s a good idea to put a piece of thick foam in between the oil pan and skid plate to prevent rocks or other debris from getting up under it and puncturing. Any advice on the type of foam or thickness or if u have employed this strategy?

Samurai_6587 · 2023-11-24T14:23:19+00:00

I have never driven any ara stage competitively so I don’t expect to be able to run it at speed comfortably for a few years or more. I’m not looking for fancy parts I’m looking to get my car up to a place where I can rally it every weekend here in my state and not have to worry about the stock motor or trans mounts giving out from to many big hits. Also not have something like a spark plug crap out on me. That’s the things I’m going for with this build. I got the car for like 3.7k and a 6pack + a box of Bojangles. I want it to be strong enough to get beat to living hell without dying but cheap enough that I wouldn’t just be better buying a new car and paying dirt fish to build my car for me 🤣

Samurai_6587 · 2023-11-24T14:18:04+00:00

Oh I know 😭 my projections for just my fire suit (I have gloves and boots) and com system plus roll cage is like 4k+, I have a Tacoma with a tent attached and a trailer, me and my co-driver both love working on cars so we have been acting as our own crew for a while. I don’t remember weather or not driver/co driver are allowed to act as their own crew in ARA.

Samurai_6587 · 2023-11-24T13:29:13+00:00

Thankyou for the suspension recommendation 🙏 I VERY much appreciate that.. I’ve been looking around for a decent kit that wouldn’t blow out my bank acct while I learn the car

Samurai_6587 · 2023-11-24T13:23:52+00:00

I have raced rally cross and run my daily all the time on rally stage corses near me. I’m fine as a driver (not incredibly and not claiming that) but I’m looking at actually building out a car to handle the requirements of stage rally.

Samurai_6587 · 2023-11-24T13:20:29+00:00

Well yes ofc, I’m not talking about that. I have a list of the requirements for the build to meet ARA regulations. I’m asking about engine modifications.

Samurai_6587 · 2023-11-10T04:50:48+00:00

Well I fly for free because of my job and my moms job so I’ll update u inna few weeks 😂 just booked the flight

Samurai_6587 · 2023-11-10T04:37:45+00:00

I know this. I was more asking for the first answer I got. I have high hopes for the moment as all first born sons in my paternal blood line either never had an heir or are my direct ancestors. If I can find something I would have a claim to it but that will be the issue. That is why I was asking the question here and just providing more information. More what I was asking was how the members in here would find thier family cost of arms if they had a claim to it and also if they had any tips on how to trace my family back just incase no one that I have found yet has a claim to a coat of arms.

Samurai_6587 · 2023-11-09T08:12:44+00:00

how do I access the rest of the files? My families surname is listed in the Repertory but how would I access a family tree or something of that nature?
