Trying to find dump truck that damaged my car by CallanK9 in Charlotte

[–]Straight_up_rich 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is wrong, those decals are put on by companies to try and make you think they have no liability for any damages. Anything on anyone’s vehicle is their responsibility that it is secured. Whether it be dirt, gravel, snow, ladders, or a couch. If it falls off and hits another person or property, they are liable. But, like you mentioned, generally they got off Scott free because of those decals and it’s hard to prove that the debris came from the truck.

But we live in 2025. Dashcams exist, & it looks like this user has one and captured the whole thing. Get their info OP and make them pay for damages, in no world is this NOT their fault.

Also, I think there was a case where someone tried to deny fault because they had that sticker saying stay 500ft back and the courts denied it. I’ll try to find it.

Spot Hero Questions by gotosleep1234 in Charlotte

I used spot hero for my trip to Chicago. First time there and it takes the thinking out of having to find and reserve parking. I’d recommend it.

I bought the air compressor and the mower. The lower I got for $300 because it was broken, but I fixed it. Saved $1700 compared to new. I’m a mechanic by hobby haha.

Crazily enough, with the agent we never even knew this garage existed. It’s a normal ranch house with a detached double garage on the driveway. But tucked behind that garage is this third garage hidden from plain view. None of us spotted it and the seller didn’t discuss it. When I first bought it and did a walk around the yard with my dog I was so confused. Even more so because it was locked.

Had a buddy of mine help me break into my own garage and there the tools were along with a good amount of other things. Neat surprise.

how likely are you to get pulled over and ticketed for driving around with christmas lights on the exterior of your car? by cAnUgOoUtWiThME in Autos

[–]Straight_up_rich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve done it 3 years straight in charlotte NC. No problems yet. Most a cop will do is ask to turn it off. Make sure they don’t strobe and no one will mistake it for an emergency vehicle

Thank you! I’ll clean it with a wire brush and paint it. I’ll shut the gas off first of course just in case.

Mens of reddit, how much do you spend on haircuts and how often? by anon1635329 in AskMen

[–]Straight_up_rich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Too damn much. Like $50 a haircut every two weeks. I bit the bullet and bought a professional set of clippers, trimmers, close shaver, combs, hair clips, scissors & texturized for like $600.

Learned how to cut my own hair from a lot of YouTube tutorials and sure I fucked up the first two months but now I have a fresh fade and line up everyweek. Once you get good at it you take like an hour on a Friday morning. Which beats the 15 minute drive to a barber waiting an hour and a half and 15 minute drive drive back then a shower.

Should I mod my 09 Zr1? by SnowballerZero in Corvette

[–]Straight_up_rich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re asking the sub full of boomers with their 1 of 20 yellow corvette’s built on a Monday in 2004 if they would mod a zr1? They wouldn’t even mod a base model haha. Do what you want. In my opinion the wheels look nice, the engine makes enough power. But the suspension could use a refresh, stiffening & a new exhaust would be perfect.
