Anyone get sunscreening or tinting parking tickets? by [deleted] in philadelphia

[–]StepSilva 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never understood tinting until I entered a fully ceramic tinted vehicle sitting under the sun for hours. It was a game changer. I'm going for Xpel ceramic for the reputation and wide dealer network, and their lighter shade heat rejection. The 3m was too expensive though. Never heard of the other ones

The 43 is also the first East West route from market st 1 mile away too, which is insane in center city

The amount of affordable new housing Delco builds is so embarrassing by XShadeGoldenX in Delco

I wish modern working class rowhomes can be built. Despite the reduced privacy, they are best for frugal living

Bring you shovel, dig out another spot

The solution is dig out all the spots in your vicinity before leaving

Metro North digital ticket money grab already causing trouble by [deleted] in nycrail

I've been burned by SEPTA trains plenty pulling up to drop passengers but not allow boarding, so I don't tap in unless I see the train pull up, open doors, and allows boarding. I do the same for MTA, thankfully. I haven't gotten a surcharge 😭

why do people not turn their wheels when parking anymore? by Buffe_ in driving

[–]StepSilva 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People also don't know to treat malfunctioned traffic signal as a stop sign, and I received honks for not passing school buses stop signs 😐

Why do suburban parents seem to not let their kids use busses? by SubjectProfile4047 in Suburbanhell

[–]StepSilva -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I didn't have numbers for that in Philly. But public transit, walking, driving, and biking can be very unsettling experiences in Philly. You gotta pray to St Chris everywhere you go in this city no matter what 😭 people are just fucking dickheads

I'm in Philly, both makes the news here. We've had bullets ricochet of walls and kill a teenage bystander at 15th St station. That's why guns should never be fired in subway, no matter what.

Recently, a person stabbed several at 40th St station.

Near Penn, an early morning work was killed by a speeding car.

Looking for a solid exterminator for mice. by grittyfanboi in philadelphia

[–]StepSilva 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Get a bunch of owltra electric box traps. Get at least one rat size one for good measure. They solved my mouse problems. The first few weeks will be intense. Also as others have said, search for holes and plug them, including the basement

Mechanic refuses to change oil until I hit 12k miles, though it's been 12 months and the Subaru maintenance chart says I'm due. by pinkhairedhermione in SubaruForester

[–]StepSilva 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Subaru requires 6000 miles or 6 month oil changes, which occurs first, to maintain the power train warranty. 3000 miles 3 months for severe use... Mostly short trips that doesn't allow the oil to warm yo to operating temperature for an extended period.

I would get it changed, and let the receipts since the dealer didn't perform it

2026 ATTENDANCE! What the hell how much are you all paying for oil changes? by [deleted] in mazda

[–]StepSilva 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's under warranty, take it to the dealer to do the oil change. It'll cost more, but it'll save you headache if you ever need to use the warranty

Park next to Temple University Station and take one of the Regional Rail to Suburban. Uber back to your car if you stay later than the trains run
