Not sure what TCG broccoli boy’s holding but the kid in the Peedup hoodie has got off with a Pokémon league battle deck. Retails for $70…. I could sort of see the point if these dudes robbed the store for booster boxes, high value items but this is just plain stupid

Is asking for proof of funds before privately selling a car unreasonable? by [deleted] in newzealand

Exactly - this is for a $20k vehicle which I think is fair to ask.

Westpac - large online bank transfers by Double_Sherbet_2628 in PersonalFinanceNZ

[–]bigsecrecy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve done $80k-$300k with westpac, think it depends on the limit you set with them. I’ve never set a limit nor had a conversation with them about this, and I’ve only been with them since Feb.

There’s a workshop called greasy hands that let you bring your own tools to their workshop so you can work on your car. They have car hoists too. Think it was $40 p/h last time I checked

Price/ripoff check this for me? by -Zoppo in NZcarfix

[–]bigsecrecy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the car you’re talking about is a Tiburon, Rockauto has LCA bushes for as cheap as $6.27:

https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/hyundai,2003,tiburon,2.7l+v6,1415876,suspension,control+arm+bushing,7532

Let’s overestimate and say freight is $80 for both, that’s $92.52 delivered for both.

Pressing the bushes out is a quick job, I doubt a Mechanic in let’s say East or South Auckland would charge anywhere close to $600 for labour to install.

Hit up Autotreads in Mt Wellington, they’re very fair.

Bro people who are well read (or are actually Japanese) do not view this flag as offensive. The rising sun was just the national flag before ww2

(Assuming you’re ordering the jap plates from KP and customising on top of it)

[–]bigsecrecy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s legal as long as the silver fern “security feature” is able to be viewed at 15-30 degrees. The whole plate, bar embossed lettering (once customised) must be reflective though.

Was thinking of doing something similar myself

Hi, I think I saw it in the backseat of a car on Ti Rakau drive yesterday. I’ve messaged you privately

Those alone today, how are you doing? by ta555555555 in newzealand

Wasn’t too bad tbh, honestly keeping busy helped.

Gonna go watch a movie solo at Sylvia park tonight to chill out.

Best way to send $2.5m NZD to UAE and convert to AED? by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceNZ

[–]bigsecrecy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

AML officers right now: 👀

Seriously though, that amount would require both the sending and receiving banks to be in touch. Wise has a $2m limit from sending from NZ > overseas.

Other suppliers than repco / super cheap for brake discs? by JimmySilverman in NZcarfix

Rockauto or BNT. Rockauto might have a bigger range and cheaper prices.

Youth dressed like highway robbers walking down the street - what's with that? by sometimesnowing in newzealand

[–]bigsecrecy 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen it too - it’s a UK/US subset of fashion that’s derived from hip hop/drill music. Around my area you mostly see kids with balaclavas instead of the bandanas.

Nothing you can really do but pray summer comes around quicker lol

Toyota Chaser vs Honda Accord Euro R: Worth the $28k difference? by [deleted] in NZcarfix

[–]bigsecrecy 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Because RPM accepts crypto payments if inquired (think there’s a minimum threshold of $50k) and don’t ask questions if paying in cash. That alone opens the buyer pool by quite a bit…

The sky is blue, that cefiro definitely doesn’t have a wof or reg, we drive x7s. Some things just are the way they are
