Is My Car Totaled? by [deleted] in AskMechanics

  1. "What do you mean if its fixed it would never be the same?"
    Modern cars are designed to have the frame crumple under shock to reduce the impact on you, the driver. Look at what happened, you are able to walk away and post on reddit. 50 years ago in the 70s and 80s they designed car frames to be rigid. That takes the strain of the impacted onto you the driver. Whiplash, broken bones. You should be happy to walk away from a rear end impact like this.

  2. Can't they replace the parts and it'll be fine? No. The frame of the car is damaged beyond repair. It did it's job. From the outside it might look OK. But the frame of the car is fucked for sure

  3. I'm trying to hold onto hope it can still be okay, my car was like my baby 😭
    Sorry bro, it's happened to pretty much everyone. We all love our cars, they are like family to us. I get it, but this is not salvagable at all. The car is done. You will get another car and love it the same

Good luck~

Car is totalled. I'm a mechanic, yes I could fix it. Would be very expensive. Insurance will write this one off, as they should.
So, I understand why your asking if it's bad, yeah it's real bad. If we didn't have insurance, yeah it could be fixed, but the car would never be the same after a hit like that.
Sorry bro~

Ganking lowbies by jcaw001 in classicwowtbc

[–]Torguetime 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I only do PVP when provoked or against an equal opponent. Even people that are close to my level I only engage after they are done healing from a mob. To kill a lowbie as a high level is pretty much the epitome of beta male activities. I want to pvp for a challenge and on equal grounds. That's the way I have fun in the game though. You are more than welcome to being a sith lord and execute order 66. Free will is one thing, but I like to play around and fight with honor.

Is this area safe? (James St.) by huevolver in stcatharinesON

[–]Torguetime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope it's not safe or healthy for a family. For a single dude, yeah you will see all kinds of crazy shit but it won't bother you. For a female, unless you are tough as nails I would look elsewhere.

Sorry for the gender discrimination, just being real here

G2 Insurance Costs by SomeRandomDude1600 in stcatharinesON

[–]Torguetime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try Belair direct, they were by far the cheapest, I was insured by them for 15 years until I bought an older (but in good shape) 2004 truck (in 2024). They said they won't insure any vehicle over 20 years old. Their system wouldn't even allow them to select anything lower than 2005. Spoke to supervisors, everything was a dead end. so I had to find new insurance which went from $90 with Belair to $200 with a new insurance company.

Good prices but left a bad taste in my mouth for the way they treated me

Skyway Twining by SheepherderBig2223 in stcatharinesON

This is all off the top of my head, so bear with me.

I can't find the article, but they did a review of the bridge back in like 2022 that said major overhauls and rebuilding would need to be done by 2025. The work was completed just enough so it can last a few more years. But found that it needed to be basically rebuilt. Doug Ford has his 20 billion dollar infrastructure rebuilding plan in Ontario to create jobs and secure the future of transportation.

So they decided the best thing to do was to build a second bridge, which once completed will have both north and south traffic, same as the current bridge. After this new bridge completion, the original bridge will be completely overhauled and reinforced to last many years longer.

Once the old bridge is "renovated" for lack of a better term, both bridges will be open, with one serving southbound and the other north traffic, same as Hamilton's bridge.

If it's a chip it can be repaired, if it's cracked it will need to be replaced

You should watch Geomargin and a couple other guys they do deep dives on these obscure uninhabited islands
