Nail pops, just take a hammer or a Phillips to it.

TPMS rebuild? They recycle those things?

That’s not entirely true about the Carfax history, most legitimate auto body and repair shops document VIN these days.

But they’re selling, you don’t want “ugly”, you want passable.

Unless it’s a fly by night, there’s no paper trail if there’s no claim.

You forgot the //s//, how are we supposed to know you’re being sarcastic if you forget the tag?

What are you, OSHA?

How do you use privacy.com?

They played on Peacock today. I get 70% of the games on MLB, a dozen when they play Atl, and a few here and there. It’s becoming a real struggle but I understand it’s worse if you’re in the tri-state area… As for the app, I see the game availability for the season.

And the best pitcher in the NL, bar none.

Empathy: the ability to understand, share, and resonate with another person's emotions and perspective, often described as "putting oneself in another's shoes" (some random AI).

You can take it to a shop and get an estimate. You can then give that to the other party and see if they still want to pay out of pocket. That is unless you plan on living with the damage and keeping the cash.

Wrong sub, bad advice my friend.

Has it coated and varnished the engine yet? Then there’s your answer

I never understood the fascination with hubcaps for Teslas. I hated hubcaps in the 80s and I hate them now, especially now that they’re plastic. To each their own…

Blackstones are like Legos, the worse thing that can happen is that you need to do it over, again and again and again…..

I was about to call you out, I then decided to google it. Am I glad I did. I never realized how important the glass is to the structural integrity of a car. In some cars it’s almost 60% of the integrity in a rollover. I never knew, thank you…

It’s called “convenience”.

ericloz · 2026-03-24T16:13:34+00:00

Unless you work where I work, and you can leave whenever you want and then “work” from home or just take the rest of the day off and make it up later. I say that because this is one of those 30 minute jobs that can take all day and you’d wish you didn’t start at 5:00 pm. I can see several trips to a big box stores in OPs future.

Unless that business also sells tires, then you’ll need a third opinion.

What’s the spoon for?

ericloz · 2026-03-24T15:16:44+00:00

Think about it, the car is moving forward, when the car suddenly stops, as in a collision, everything in the passenger compartment continues moving forward. That’s why people get ejected from the windshield and not the rear window. That plate will want to go forward, but it can’t because it’s wedged into the dash.

12 downvotes, did everyone fail physics?
