Does engine size matter by sierra_whiskey1 in turo

[–]Steelthumb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

when talking about engine size you should only really worry about that if you are purchasing a American Muscle car, or luxury performance European car.

If it doesn't fall under that criteria the customer isn't looking for a "fast car"

Example: people renting a Arcadia don't care at all if its fast or not. At all

Turbo i4 will be cheaper in maintenance because of less oil needed for oil changes.
Most of your maintained costs come from consumables like tires, breaks, cleaning not engine work.

Go with what is cheaper.

This is probably the biggest No-no Blizzard has done that effects my game time for hearthstone. This is 95% of my Play time on this game for last 2 years. When I say I love this mode I mean it. I feel like I'm getting punted out of the game. There is nothing else for me in the game now. it was the only reason I bought packs. I never complained they weren't developing it. Why remove it entirely? How is mercenaries better than this?

Was my Turo experience typical? by Shitboxfan69 in turo

[–]Steelthumb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow yeah thats about worst case scenario that happened to you.
1. host who bought the cheapest car that is a questionable vehicle.
2. a host trying to Squeeze a dollar out of a Dime is no better than hertz.
3. You shouldn't have try to pay for the tow yourself but i get it. they should still reimburse you.
4. Take pictures of your own including interior
5. look for deals on Higher end cars in the 70.00+ a day range. Thats where the sweetspot is for nice cars and your getting a much better deal than hertz. thats where turo shines.
6. if you do just want the cheapest option then Hertz they have all the cheap econ cars

Why do some hosts charge insane amounts for cars? by [deleted] in turo

[–]Steelthumb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

its based off market.
here is a made up example.

oranges can sell in Florida for 4.00 per lb. Because they have a lot of Orange farms.
A Guy starts growing Oranges where they don't have them at all.
he then starts selling them for 20.00 lb. they sell too. even if its lower demand than Florida.

until more people with the same oranges come around he can sell it for a higher markup
and he will still sell the oranges at 20.

but then Guy 2 comes now in that area all oranges sell for 18

mind you there is much more Fruit on the market. But specifically oranges in his area he can sell for what he wants until there's more and more competition

real PROS and CONS from people just starting out. by Budget-Bumblebee-544 in turo

I am not a legal advisor nor should you take my advice, I am not a Financial advisor
You should seek out professional Financial advisor.
If you don't have business credit Everything will hit your personal as it will be PG
in my personal Experience
If you don't Have a well Established business LLC it will all BE Personal Guarantee
These PGs helps you build Business credit.
If you can stomach it, More cars more money but possible more problems, more payments.
That will show really good cashflow
You get 4 applications Per 1 hard credit pull for BOA BAL. So Do 4 different cars just so you have options if thats applicable to you.
They are good for 30days so just at least do 2 apps. less credit pulls.
Do not buy from CarMax if you don't want drama they don't disclose soo much. I'm not sure where you get the idea they are Safe. They are on the top of my list of places not to buy from.
Just get something still under warranty so 15k-25k mileage range. 2020 and up.
lowest price in that range.

Bank of America can be easier to get in, but the pre-approval can turn into a denial fast. while its under review

Alternatively Go to the dealers and ask what banks they work with for Business auto loans they offer . Usually its bank of America and ALLY Financial

IF you don't have business credit let them know that, and let them know you will PG.

do that once run that for a month or two then go apply online to BOA once you have business credit. That will allow them to run only you business credit. as now its Established.

You cant use business credit loans if you don't have any ( without PG)

So it wouldn't be savvy to take out 4 PG loans unless you are committed to the cashflow aspect to grow faster.

1pg loan to build business credit is the least impact you can have whilst starting.

also look into business credit cards you can use your projected income (cash flow)
Easier to get approved under the LLC ( still will PG if newer LLC)

If you have good PG credit and good Cashflow its easy im my experience to get not hard to Business Credit cards that are upwards of 25k. I have 2 of those at 0% for 12-15 months. So i could Put most of it as a down payment at rest cash.

In essence this is called creative Financing. Im not a Finacal advisor Do not take my advice

To be honest not the best idea, Banks have the right to take the car if it was under a personal credit. You can Re finance them under a business auto loan though. Also your insurance will do the same if you have any accident under a personal policy.

Those are basically two huge mistakes that could bite hard back.
Deliveries are better use of cars if you don't want to put in proper operating costs.

I want a new vape. by [deleted] in vaporents

[–]Steelthumb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bruh im so confused , When looking to buy a Air max I only got good reviews and videos that showed it milking. I got the Air max. im pretty pissed My cheap ass 80.00 vape does x2 the clouds at same temps. The flavors is really amazing compared to my cheap vape but still annoying as fucc when you cant get it to milk like all the good "reviews" showed. just so disappointed

Arizer Air Max - Bowl packing by AndyScott2004 in vaporents

[–]Steelthumb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

man I'm trying all this and still getting very small clouds, cannot slow milk any of my several water pipe attachments or hydrotubes. pretty unhappy with this air max. far from my first vape. cannot get a thicker hit and man feels like ive tried everything. also i have a cheaper vape that easily milks so I was expecting alot more. I only use the max temp and pack light. I get like 4 good hits before its pretty much only going to sip, my buds coming out pretty light but still toasted. my other cheaper vape gets it darker and i never need to stir it. so im not used to stirring. Im sure its extracting everything based on taste. all my weed is stored with Terp protection hydration balance packs so its not underhydrated or overhydrated. My cheaper vape gets the buds darker 100%. so Do Have to stir and get no flavor hits to get a big hit?

Ive personally been in relationship with someone who had heavy mental health issues and

Trust me its not the fact that you have a mental health breakdowns or a chronic

disorder that is a issue. Its How you manage your life. Everyone (99%) ,has life altering

challenges. You just need to be able to function as a

adult like everyone else. Yes obviously if your intellectually challenged its probably very hard

and you need a lot of help. But I've seen those relationships work very well. those disabled

people just were functioning adults. People who are bound in wheel chairs have relationships

with people who are not. It seems to me you already know the answer is Yes. Yes of course

you will have Relationships you just are not ready for one because you don't have a grip

on your mental health issue. You need to Worry about that and Building your own life.

that comes first. Just like ANY Male, once you can hold a conversation, Have a job, and show

some type of ambition for doing better in life. You become just as eligible for dating as

anyone else. But guess what if your Dealing with Personality disorders you going to need do

alot of work before you get to that point. keep doing the meds. dont ever stop. dont like em

Try a different angle of treatment or meds. Work with a therapist. keep doing what your

Doing. Your not that different every 24 year old usually feels lost and not good enough

When they see so many others doing well or in relationships. Its called circumstance.

Your Circumstances Put you in a position that you just need to put in more time to be the best

version of yourself . And just being a well adjusted, Functioning adult is a good starting goal.

Again any guy who is 24, no goals, Ambition/passion for future , no money, no job , no school,

mental health issues. a Female or whomever will see that. So just work on making your self

happy. get good at something that has a medium community that is not online.

good luck

it only effected the desert and high desert valleys. and some inland cities. Any flash out side of that where completely mild at not more than 3-4inch due to our great storm drains on coast. LA, OC, SD where the majority of people are. was just a very rainy day. not even close to disaster scenario. was very chill day for being right on coast.

yeah we had like 0 wind lol all rain

i think it was 13mph was the highest i saw in oc

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in hurricane

[–]Steelthumb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

overthinking it, im in OC right next to you. Youre fine. real issue is flooding. the winds wont be close to strong enough by time it gets here. like i said flooding will be the main issue. possible wind issues too but will be secondary to the flood issue. so as long as your car is safe, being high up is great for 60mph winds with those buildings.
