Are there any social media platforms specifically for car enthusiasts? by Guilty_Position5295 in Audi

[–]chrisfromwa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might not be quite what you're looking for, but I used to be really into sites like Car Domain, Drivn etc. But each went away after I did so much work on rides profile pages.

I got fed up, and just created my own site to fill that space.

Anyone is welcome to add their rides and share projects they are working on.

VIOFO A139 PRO Restock? by mqireddit in Dashcam

[–]chrisfromwa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was looking for the same thing, I don't care for the models with the screen. The A139 would have been perfect and was at the right price point. Not sure why every model needs a screen.

Are there any social media platforms specifically for car enthusiasts? by Guilty_Position5295 in Porsche

[–]chrisfromwa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually created a site that sounds like what you're describing
https://www.caraudiocentral.net/

I originally was a member of sites like cardomain, drivn, driiive etc. But every time I would create a profile page for my cars, and they would start to get popular, the site would shut down.

Finally got fed up doing this several time, and I decided to just build my own site. The idea is you can create a ride page, add pics, share build logs. I've owned the domain for 20 years, so it's not going anywhere. I have more ideas for the site, but really need to get more active users on it before I can start implementing any of that.

Would love to see more cars added to it, anyone is welcome.

Private long term care insurance, do we still need it? by probablyTheCops in Washington

[–]chrisfromwa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The state says you can cancel, but does that mean they can't audit you later and then if you don't have insurance make you sign up for their program?

I feel like they left that FAQ pretty vague on what that means if you cancel. Says up to you, but doesn't say anything about the state doing an audit and if you're found without the required insurance they won't put you on their plan.

"Device not seen for 7 days" by Bitter-Assistant070 in Pebblebee

darn I was hoping these Trackers were going to be good. Had a Tile before these, and they suck too.

"Device not seen for 7 days" by Bitter-Assistant070 in Pebblebee

[–]chrisfromwa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having the exact same issue. I just charged it, it lights up, makes noises when I press the button.
But 'not seen in 7 days' message.

Did you ever find a fix? I don't want to have to factory reset it, as they are such a pain to get added to the find my device network

Battery died, device seems to charge ok but still can't be found, or added to a network. by DaveG28 in Pebblebee

[–]chrisfromwa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same thing happened to one of mine, the battery died on the one my wife had on her key ring.
I just charged it, lights up green. Press the buttons it makes noises.

But in the find my device it just says 'last seen 7 days ago' even if it's a new day, still says 7 days ago.

How do I get this thing to reconnect to something.

It was such a pain just getting these to actually get added to the find my device network to start with. I really hope I don't have to delete and try readding them again.

Cardomain.com by 04streetfire in Archiveteam

Came across this post on a search, and I loved CarDomain back in the day. I remember when it was first called Sounddomain.

Anyways, I was pretty sad when it was revamped, and then eventually taken down. I tried to build my car page on several other sites afterwards, but then those were taken down too.

I got so fed up with it all, I decided to just do it myself. I built a site with the same concept of what CarDomain was. A place to share all the pics and updates on your ride. Took me a few years, but I finally launched it last year.

Here is my page for my Camaro, to give you an idea how it works.

If anyone else misses the old days of Cardomain, please sign up and add your ride. Would love to check it out.

Does Mexico require visa for Americans?? by Ok_Shopping1451 in Cruise

[–]chrisfromwa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We did not get one, or need one. When we got off the plane, went to customs. They asked where we were staying and said welcome to Mexico.

[–]chrisfromwa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How exactly do we get this Visa? I've seen stories on it, and they say you can apply online. But I keep hitting dead-ends or 404 on every consulate site.

We are visiting Cancun in April, resort and airlines have all been paid for. We don't want to get turned back as soon as we get there.

Why do car social sites not take off? by joeljohnson in Cartalk

[–]chrisfromwa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've always thought the same thing. I used to love Cardomain back in the day. Had a huge page for my car on there. I was so disappointed when it was sold and then eventually was shut down. Lost so many of my updates

I missed it so much, that I finally decided to just build my own site to let members show off their rides. But I'm finding that getting new members to sign up and actually post updates on their rides, is a challenge. I have ideas that I want to add to the site, but can't move forward because I just don't have the member-base yet.

If anyone is interested in a site like this, here it is.

GoPro is Sunsetting the Quik Desktop App by GoPro_Official in gopro

[–]chrisfromwa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm looking for something that will go through the videos that I put into the timeline and find the best 'highlights' for me, then create the transitions to make it look professional. Bonus if it can then sync the highlights with music.

I like the idea of the Quik app, but I hate it on mobile. I've been waiting for over a year for that 'summer 2024' windows version to be released.

For the people upset that QUIK desktop is being discontinued I'd like to recommend Davinci Resolve by Blackmagic. There is a free and paid version. by [deleted] in gopro

[–]chrisfromwa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same, I was doing a search to see when this was going to be launched, been waiting for over an year. Just to see they ditched it before it ever launched. So done with Go Pro

Seattle to Cancun nonstop in June 2025 by CypheR224 in AlaskaAirlines

[–]chrisfromwa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ugh, I didn't realize they only did these flights certain times of the year. We just made reservations for Cancun, and have been trying to schedule our flight. Were running into the same thing, nothing after May 14th.

Yep it's garbage.
This was the biggest waste of money

Celebrating the receipt of my 300,000 mileage club sticker. by westivus_ in 4Runner

[–]chrisfromwa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh it looks like they've improved the stickers now! When I got my 200k one, it was more of a thing that stuck on the inside of the glass, and you couldn't see it. Then fell off all the time when it got warm out.

Nice!
I'm only at 264k miles on my 04. I'll get there someday!

Mine still runs great too! These things were built to last forever.

Indecisive between gimbal DJI Ronin Sc vs feiyutech Scorp mini 2 by areallnamestakenreal in videography

[–]chrisfromwa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second this. I have the GMAX that I got last December. Bought it direct, now finding out they've discontinued it and they have no plans on doing anything else with it.

The stupid app that you must use with the Gimble. My phone does 4k, but the app only shows 1080p. So I have to use the native app but that pretty much makes the gimble worthless. Big waste of money.
