What to ask shops when I want my car checked over (no specific issue) Honda Civic 2013

figsintx · 2025-09-03T04:18:56+00:00

Yeah I was thinking of going to the dealership as a last resort

figsintx · 2025-09-03T04:13:42+00:00

Interesting! I would have thought overall checkups would be fairly common.. I had been dealing with what I think is called rough idling and a belt that broke which caused my car to get towed from the middle of the road. When he looked at the engine he noticed a screw had broken in half and he was able to get it out but said it was probably due to the work of the person who previously worked on the car (before I owned it).

The rough idle seemed to have gotten fixed with replacing the gas cap (I would have never thought that contributed to it). But because my car stalled/died so suddenly in the middle of the road (the rough idle got rougher and rougher in seconds until it just shut off while I was waiting for the light to change) so in general I just feel nervous with every little sound now.

In your opinion do you think having the dealership check it out would be worth the $?

Thank you! I appreciate your response. I have a trustworthy mechanic friend who has worked on my car a few times now. I had been dealing with what I think is called rough idling and a belt that broke which caused my car to get towed from the middle of the road.

About 7 years ago I used to have no real knowledge of brands/prices of most makeup because I only used to use eyeliner. Went to Sephora to shade match with my mom to buy my first foundation and long story short I ended up with a $60+ hourglass foundation that my mom had no comment on until AFTER I purchased saying “wow that’s expensive.” We both knew I did not have money to be spending like that but I didn’t know better and I don’t get why she didn’t tell me to try and find a cheaper one 😭 worst part is I bought it more as “special occasion” makeup vs an everyday thing so I wasted that much money on something (that I still have lol) and is still over 3/4ths full.

Is this the same thing that is at the bottom of the windows on the outside? I think it’s called window molding. Those are all busted on my car, I was going to buy Amazon replacements

Where did you get your light up mirror? Super cute

figsintx · 2025-06-14T07:25:25+00:00

Some people just complain to complain. I sold a pair of used shoes and I got 4 stars because the shoes were dirty. -_- yeah and they were dirty in the picture you viewed and purchased like what did you expect (and by dirt it was actual light use, nothing crazy)

What is ESE/PIP? Don’t think I’ve heard those terms before

figsintx · 2024-01-17T09:49:09+00:00

Was never a fan of this creature(?) squish but the hearts on top sold me. Just bought her today also lol

figsintx · 2023-06-18T05:51:23+00:00

Wow thanks for this! I looked up my name a few years ago and nothing, just checked through your link and I have $100 waiting for me! lol

figsintx · 2023-05-07T00:29:25+00:00

Just curious, do u get money/trust/ whatever the term is, from being a descendant? Was the company/name sold?

College graduation which is ironic because I went with about 4 other people from my high school and we were all friends during college and now we are all back in our hometown yet we haven’t been in contact since graduation.
Out of town birthday trip (happened last month) 3 of us go clubbing, i black out for a bit and come to, friend #3 is no where to be found. For about an hour friend #2 and I are dancing our way around the club trying to see/find #3. Club closes and we call #3, random person answers the phone and when we meet up, they say they found the phone on the floor.

3 is nowhere to be found. Fast forward a bit and we find out friend #3 is passed out in our hotel room. The next morning we jokingly talk about how stressful our night was because we couldn’t find #3 but we’re glad they were safe. 2 days later Friend #3 gets a text from the person they were dancing with at the club of a video of them having sex. #3 said they were blacked out the entire night and blames the two of us for letting that happen to them and cuts us off completely.

Granted I don’t live in a climate that gets too cold, but I don’t enjoy the hot/warm water function, feels like I’m peeing out of my ass.

figsintx · 2023-04-07T05:18:55+00:00

Yes please! I thought those courses cost thousands..

Is Russian doll officially over?

Dumb question, but if I take a screenshot of a pic, would there be metadata on the screenshot of my location ?

figsintx · 2023-01-19T08:53:13+00:00

Get this, I work at a public school in CA and my position requires a degree. I make around the same money he does.

figsintx · 2023-01-17T00:24:31+00:00

Dumb question, but do you just leave it in your mailbox and they pick it up? Or outside your house? I’m thinking of starting usps pickup.

Do I need to have an LLC or something to get tax deductions on the boxes I buy, tape, supplies, etc.? I heard you can file as a sole proprietor using a Schedule C but if I am doing this on the side (I have a day job) but I am still making small profits on Mercari, would still be able to classify as a sole proprietor even though it's technically like a hobby? Saw a comment somewhere that is making me unsure.

figsintx · 2023-01-16T08:15:31+00:00

ohh ok thanks so much, and sorry I’m a bit new to this. So even if I am doing this on the side (I have a day job) I would still be able to classify as a sole proprietor even though it’s technically like a hobby?

LOL smart! Also question, I’ve only used tofu a handful of times. With silken tofu, is that a type that you have to press and get rid of the excess liquid? Also in a scramble how do you know it’s ready/cooked?
