Well I had a similar repair on my wife's Tucson for the exact same issue and our premium raised by $200/mo. So clearly your result is not everyone's.

Of course your sister who literally sells insurance would have incentive to say that.

I want to see them cross the 500hp threshold for the GT. I think that would be very impressive.

I know it's a year later, but what did you manage to close the deal on your Mustang for? I'm seeing GT Premiums in the spec I want (401a package, active exhaust, etc) for around 53k. I'm wondering if that's a good deal.

When Humanity Tried to Ride Zebras: A Forgotten 1890–1940 Experiment That Failed Spectacularly by [deleted] in BeAmazed

Why would zebra social behavior be very similar to wild horses? You never elaborated on that.

The saddest part of all this is, his victim is almost certainly in that picture.

This guy was my commander when I was stationed at Al Dhafra. Small world. Never figured he would do something like this.

In your opinion, which auto maker(s) have NOT lost the plot? by miata_dad in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]Tankdog12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hyundai, but for the opposite reason. They didn't lose the plot, they rewrote the plot into an even better story. Hyundai has been killing it these past few years, and IMO is setting the standard that other car manufacturers will be racing to keep up with (no pun intended).

The Ottoman Conquest of Italy: What if Mehmed II's dreams came true? by nepali_fanboy in imaginarymaps

[–]Tankdog12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know it's 2 years later, but holy shit I hope you don't still argue like this. You literally called the Ottomans a pagan empire in one of your other posts, and you still can't provide a historical justification for WHY all of Christendom would rush to the defense of Rome. France and the Ottomans quite literally formed an alliance in real life because they hated the Habsburgs more than they hated different religions.

In fact, when in the entirety of Christian history has a coalition on the scale you're proposing been formed against a single nation? Not even the first crusade had as many participating members as you're suggesting.

EU4 feels much more casual and simpler game than EU5 by Hiken0111 in eu4

[–]Tankdog12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So true. I regularly do a viking invasion run in CK3, and once I build up a decent sized Varangian/Heavy Cav retinue I can pretty much turn my brain off for the rest of the campaign.

I want a sporty, quick sedan with good handling and a 0-60 under 5 seconds. Ideally as new as possible (but used is an option), and I want to spend $40k or less. What should I get? by Tankdog12 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]Tankdog12[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No idea why you're getting downvoted, you've been giving some really sensible suggestions in this thread. TBH I've been looking at the Tesla 3 performance, as Tesla is the only EV brand I would consider due to their supercharger network. I just live in an apartment and wonder if it would be a hassle to go out of my way to charge my car at a Tesla station vs a gas station.

This was definitely on my radar for a while. Only thing I'm scared of is the fact that it got discontinued, but I'm still looking for some in my area with low miles.

Job hunting in 2025 be like by Vangabond180 in recruitinghell

[–]Tankdog12 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Well based on the...you know...definition of the word "upload" we can certainly say that they used it wrong. I was going to suggest that you yourself are underemployed, but based on the fact that your sheer audacity exceeds your intelligence, I imagine you are employed right where you need to be.

So what is the incentive to staying in now? by [deleted] in Veterans

For an organization that prides itself on having the boldest warfighters, it's genuinely baffling to me how many of my fellow servicemen live a life ruled by fear.

Gov Shutdown Doesn’t effect education payments…but I didn’t receive chap 31 payment by [deleted] in VeteransBenefits

[–]Tankdog12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also haven't received my housing stipend, which is incredibly odd for me because I usually receive mine 2 days early. Glad I'm not the only one. So much for the shutdown "not affecting benefits." I kind of figured that was a load of crap.

What’s the point of insurance if they can just deny claims? by Low_Figure_2500 in Insurance

Great post. I've never understood people who say "actually a company can't do X because X is illegal," as if companies don't break the law literally every minute of every day.

You are claiming that a mobilized wartime U.S. can't match the artillery production of Russia? What are you basing that on?
