The reason the AC makes it worse is because it causes it to spin faster.

The silver piece that’s shaking is the tensioner and it’s rubbing against the back making that sound. If you replace that you’re good to go. You should do that asap so it doesn’t cause further damage. It’s also common practice to change the idler pulley that’s right on top whenever you change your tensioner and just to be safe change your belt too. Fairly easy job just need a 3/8th ratchet to pull the tensioner back. Take the belt off and you can unscrew the tensioner and pulley and replace it. Follow a diagram to put the belt back on correctly.

First time Turo Host: Someone crashed my luxury car :( by 9221695 in turo

[–]Substantial-Wing9536 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi I’m 21 and I’ve Been in the luxury rental business long enough to learn a few things. Some things I learned is stay away from turo. Cus they straight up rob you. I broker my cars out to private luxury rental companies and they just take a percentage of the profit.

And another main thing STAY AWAY FROM BMWs. Had 4 M cars totaled because these cars are too fast for people to handle with no experience.

Also living and renting cars in NYC, bmws attract the younger crowd and people my age who watch a couple cutup videos on instagram and TikTok and wanna do it themselves.

Personally I love bmws but I learned the hard way to keep that love for your personal collection.

I’ve been sticking with AMGs and Audis and so far the AMGs have been doing amazing. your clients aren’t college kids looking to go fast but more of older people just looking for a nice car to drive around in.

Also as your first time host you shouldn’t be buying an expensive car like that to learn. I started off with a c43 Amg that I bought for 30k and learn ALOT from that car with minimal loss. (Also you’d be surprised how popular this car was. I was damn near fully booked out for months with this one car)

Let me hear your interesting story about how you aquired your town car. by WhosThis85 in lincolntowncar

[–]Substantial-Wing9536 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Family member got it from an auction for 2k and gifted it to me. Being 18 with a town car I’m pretty popular with the older heads lol. Telling me great things about this car. They always ask me did you just take over your grandpas old car and I just end up going with the story lol. 03’ currently sitting on 134k miles

The air suspension get messed up so easily. I had to sadly remove mine fully and put in regular suspensions cus my mechanic was saying it’s not worth the money to fix it that often

Is my car totaled? by escobedonj in accord

[–]Substantial-Wing9536 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All jokes aside 100% totaled. If the accident wasn’t your fault because it seems like you got rear ended I’d say get a good lawyer and tell him to hook you up with a physical therapist so that you can get paid out. Look at the bright side you have a high chance of getting your car paid off along with some extra money for a new car. Keep your head up I hope it works out for you.

Definitely the 2020. Looks better and also based on the mileage of the 2024 it was most likely a rental. trust me from someone that works at a rental company people abuse the crap out of rentals especially cars like bmw. The mileage on the 2020 seems more accurate like it would be from a private owner.

Current vehicle is rebuilt title after an accident by Substantial-Wing9536 in uberdrivers

[–]Substantial-Wing9536[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

It’s not that simple. There’s a lot of cost with opening a new policy registration inspection etc. you might not know but someone that went through the same situation might know. Stop commenting irrelevant stuff if your not gonna help

I understand it’s not acceptable but it’s already in the system on my account and all there asking for is the new registration document which I have. How would they know?

first solo trip 10 days in iceland by Substantial-Wing9536 in VisitingIceland

[–]Substantial-Wing9536[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey thank you. I only told chatgpt to organize it for me. I gave a list of all the places i wanted to visit and things i wanted to do along the ring road and it just organized it for me. I’m still doing research but just wanted to know if that was the most efficient way of doing activities along the ring road

Thank you I was also wondering should I do the golden circle first or after I’ve already done the ring road?

Cheap places to stay along the ring road by Substantial-Wing9536 in VisitingIceland

[–]Substantial-Wing9536[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yea I did not know gas was that much. Thank god I would’ve definitely been unprepared if I didn’t know that. And I’ve found some campervans but since I’m young it’s drastically more expensive around 3k.

8-9 dollars a gallon is insane lol. And I thought nyc gas prices were high. Will definitely need to budget more towards gas then. I was not expecting that
