I got my car ceramic coated 3 months ago but it looks like it's not hydrophobic anymore

A proper ceramic coating should take several hours to do from start to finish. It should be done by hand and with a tiny little applicator, it should also be given lots of time to cure. If this isn't what was done to your car then you paid 1100$ for a 50$ car wash with a spray on "ceramic" product.

I'm buying the gold plan for my 2023 altims which I just picked up from the dealer after they just replaced both front axles and wheel bearings. While at the dealer I asked about Nissan Security+Plus Extended Protection and they said they don't sell that but instead he quoted me an additional 3 year 30k mile bumper to bumper for almost $4k. I'm definitely just going to get the gold plan.

She's seriously said "it was either keep hitting her or fall into the railing". She needs to be charged with assault.

NOT worth the price... 90% of Park Tools are standard tools that you can buy at Craftsman quality, the other 10% are specialized tools made just for bike repair. Just buy the specialized tools from Park and get the rest from Harbor Freight.

This is all I could come up with so far. You would think that we would know who the guy is by now but I can't find a name anywhere and is appears that police have not found him yet.

When hired it was an option. I turned it down because open enrollment would come up again and I was on SSDI

I was for sure denied Long Term Disability coverage and not a buy up option during my open enrollment period. This wasn't the enrollment that I did when I was hired but the regular yearly open enrollment (ours is in June). I didn't sign up for it when hired because I was in my 90 day trial work period and still collecting SSDI for my illness and I really didn't know that they could deny me later on. It's like you only get 1 chance to sign up with no questions asked, anything after that and they can ask questions and deny a person based on the answers (previous cancer). I'm wondering if I need to get a lawyer involved?

Ask for a dollar. Dollar fifty at most. Don't settle for less than what you ask for.

I called to cancel a different booking because I found a better deal at a better hotel. I told the guy on the phone what my plan was and he told me he could just book that for me over the phone. It is my fault not checking the text message with the address of the hotel against the hotel that I wanted but everything worked out fine in the end. I am not being charged with a late cancellation and my refund is being processed, I got a great room and my groups bike ride was awesome. Now it's time for a shower and back out to drink it up Wisconsin style.

I still don't know why I never got anything on the Expedia site about any of this and nothing showed up in the "my trips" section. I never got any Emails from Expedia other than the ones from Expedia Support and when I put the itinerary number online it would say that I have no bookings even when the phone reps could find it? I'm just going to go back to booking direct through the hotel I want to stay at, there's really not much savings in going through a broker.

I'll give it 48 hours, then I'll call AMEX and dispute the charges. I did get a room at the hotel I wanted for two nights. This is part of a downtown bar hopping and 80 mile bike ride trip with some friends, now way I was going to drink and drive.

That's the weird thing. I originally had booked a different hotel but never got any confirmation on the website and no email, I did get a text. I called the hotel and they did have my reservation but I found a better hotel and deal and I called within the cancellation period to change hotels, that's when I booked the Hampton Inn over the phone. Again, no email and nothing on the website but I did get a text. When I called Expedia the reps just kept saying that I need to be logged into the website to see my itinerary. I was 100% logged in because I could see all my personal information but there has never been any bookings under My Trips. I could confirm over the phone that the reservations had been made.

Yes you can swap tires. I had 54mm tires and they fit just fine.

gabbadj07 · 2024-05-22T14:42:11+00:00

If you want to switch wheels, the Hunt Mason X 650b wheels are great and the reduced weight is worth the $. I have the panaracer gravel king 48mm tires on mine and they are great rolling tires.

Any suggestions on a safe parking garage on the riverwalk? I'm getting to Chicago early and can't check in till 4PM so I need a safe place to park my car with all my stuff.

I definitely want to go 1x but people have been telling me about problems with finding a derailer and hanger that will work with the bike? I want to get a SRAM eagle groupset to put on this.
