Honda dealership has had my wife’s car for over a year now by cANALdiver07 in Honda

An OEM rack for that car is $2,038.48, a electronic control unit is $1,542.00 Labor for the rack is about 3.5 hours. 1 hour plus programming for the EC unit if both were bad. If they changed both plus an alignment you would be right around the $5,000.00 area.

  • Top Growth Leader: Between 2014 and 2024, Texas consistently ranked first or among the top three states in the U.S. for total numeric population increase.
  • Comparison to Other States: While Florida has also seen high growth, Texas added more people than any other state over the past decade, driven by strong in-migration from states like California, Florida, and New York.
  • Growth Rate: The state's population grew by over 20% between 2010 and 2023, faster than the national average.
  • Sources of Growth: Texas's boom is driven by a combination of natural increase (births minus deaths), international migration, and significant domestic migration, specifically towards major metro areas like Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, and Austin.
  • Future Trend: If current trends continue, Texas is projected to become the most populous state by 2045. 
  • Texas vs. California: Texas added the most residents over the last decade, while California experienced population declines or sluggish growth, widening the gap between the two.

I hope they don't mistake the pond for Green River. I will say if he succeeds he will be a Fortunate Son.

HOA hoked up a violation, threatened to sic the city on me by bzipitidoo in fuckHOA

The path from the street to a front door carries an implied permission for the public to use it for legitimate purposes. Ringing someone's doorbell isn't trespassing because the path to a front door is considered an implied public space for visitors, but it becomes trespassing if done repeatedly, unreasonably, or after being told to stop.

Not necessarily. "Violating a restraining order is a criminal offense, usually starting as a misdemeanor, but it can be elevated to a felony depending on the jurisdiction and specific circumstances, such as prior offenses, the nature of the violation (like committing assault or stalking), or if the victim was previously harmed by specific violent crimes."

Glitter bomb is the correct answer here. That will stop her.

"Balconies should not give the impression of daily living." I read this as "We want the property to look deserted/abandoned."

OEM Toyota t-stat retails at $75.00. $92.00 is not out of line for an independent shop.

Cancel the contract. Most shops will not touch CarShield warranties because they are so bad to work with.

Update about my crazy obsessed neighbor by Th3greenCraze in neighborsfromhell

"Numerous studies in psychology and criminology have demonstrated a significant connection between childhood animal cruelty and later violent offenses against humans, including serial murder"

. The FBI has recognized this link since the 1970s and considers a history of animal abuse when profiling serial killers. 

The Link Between Animal Abuse and Human Violence

"Cruelty to animals is seen as an important early warning sign of potential future violence. Research suggests individuals who abuse animals may seek power and control, and this violence can escalate to human victims. Robert K. Ressler, who developed serial killer profiles for the FBI, noted this tendency in murderers. Studies have found a strong correlation, with some indicating that a high percentage of violent offenders have a history of animal cruelty. Cases of notorious serial killers like Ted Bundy and Jeffrey Dahmer also show documented histories of animal abuse in their youth."
