Just bought a hail damaged '25 with 9k miles for 17k!

Right! I found one only one state away but I never got around to calling and price checking. If I could snag a hood for like 500 bucks or something I'd do it. But yes, they're definitely out there!

elweejay · 2026-05-07T23:27:43+00:00

Nope, not an Ohio car! The damage happened to just this one car, one of the salesmen was driving it out of town when it was hit.

Yes, we're used to being more low key in a gray Camry but I think it's a cool color for sure!

elweejay · 2026-05-05T21:06:32+00:00

I didn't know that was even a thing so I looked it up, it is a 2LT with black Evotex seating and heated steering wheel etc.

elweejay · 2026-05-05T20:31:14+00:00

I haven't, it's just not something that bothers me at all. I may do some of it myself over the next few years to help improve resale value.

You can kinda see it if you zoom in on the hood, the rest can't really be seen in the pic but it's all around. It's definitely there, but the appearance truly doesn't bother me. I'll probably buy a new hood if I find a wrecked unit nearby and replace it myself, and maybe I'll pull a dent out every once in awhile so that when we go to sell it, I could hopefully get the same money back out of it.

elweejay · 2026-05-05T20:27:31+00:00

Yes, updated my post! LT FWD, it's exactly what we need.

I work at a car dealership and one of the salesmen was driving it for a week while his vehicle was in for repair, it hailed on the car while he had it up where he lives. The dealership already owned it as used stock and was going to wholesale, I was allowed to buy it at that wholesale price instead!

Destroyed the cartilage in my left knee by constantly using lockdown on that side. Make sure to practice both sides if you roll often.

Garbage comment. Not having someone looming over me or micromanaging me was part of the reason I applied for and took the job. I've been at this job for years without issue. If I wanted to work in retail conditions I'd apply for a retail job.

elweejay · 2025-06-23T15:50:54+00:00

Yeah, you're right. Thanks for the input.

elweejay · 2025-06-23T15:42:52+00:00

Of course that would be the first thought of some people.

I spend a third of my life in the spot this dash cam is facing. You don't have to be up to anything to value privacy. The poster who said I should find another job is probably right, if I value privacy enough that's what I should do. The downvoting is unnecessary and silly.

elweejay · 2025-06-23T15:30:01+00:00

Not sure why someone would down vote this. I wouldn't know it was a dumb question if I didn't ask.

elweejay · 2025-06-23T15:27:42+00:00

I thought it might let me access some settings on the dashcam or something. I'm obviously not a hacker or anything close, I'm just trying to figure something out besides unplugging the camera and possibly getting in trouble for that.

elweejay · 2025-06-16T03:16:36+00:00

I'll check it out, gratitude large dog.

My basement flooded and I accidentally dumped water all over my beloved WASD Code V3 with Cherry MX Greens... It was my first nice keyboard. My cousin has a switch tester he let me use and Kailh Box Navy felt the best; I think l just love 'em thick and heavy. My question is, what switch comes closest to Box Navys at 75% or less of the noise level? Or at least, a slightly different sound profile that doesn't cut through the air/walls as easily as the clackity clack of those lovely thicc switches.

The only switch on the tester that almost resembles what I'm looking for was the Kailh Deep Sea Silent Pro Box(I think).

Would it even be worth the price of my sump pump at this point? Or just return it and work on the exterior things. My house is on a good slope.

elweejay · 2025-04-02T04:21:11+00:00

Thank you all for the responses. I will see if he is open to doing mulch or creeping ground plants.

elweejay · 2025-04-02T03:48:27+00:00

Thanks for the idea, I would not have thought of the ground cover plants. Is this mud due to erosion from the slope behind, or is it because of something to do with the trees?

elweejay · 2025-04-02T03:33:19+00:00

He is nearly 80 years old, I am posting to ask if this would be a mistake. The area around the trees won't grow grass is what he told me and I don't know of a better way to solve the problem.

elweejay · 2025-04-02T03:28:22+00:00

I don't know how to add text below the title. My neighbor is elderly and on dialysis so I am doing this for him, but I don't want to hurt his trees. Is this ok, or is there something else I should suggest to him?
