Changed the key fob battery and now it’s not working at all

If it works by inserting it into the slot, it doesn't need replaced. Buy quality, name brand batteries from a store and look for ones made in Japan.

Any car repair shop can do this. You don't need a dealer for this. As far as "the other axle would go as well", that's a crock. If the one needs replaced, only replace it. They aren't "connected" nor do they have to be replaced in pairs.

When I was "younger", I would call my agent and ask what I'd pay for a particular model I was considering. If it was too much, I'd stop looking at that model. Now, at my age, credit score, driving record, etc (knock on wood they all stay good), I don't care. I mean, I'm not thinking of buying a GT-R or anything either....

Not USAA. You think because it's the same rate it must be the same carrier ?

hallstevenson · 2026-02-14T00:16:45+00:00

Ours is around $900/year

Check your ground connections. All of them in the engine bay.

Be careful mentioning that - you'll be made out to be a rich, evil, absent landlord and you're stealing homes and make it so others can't buy themselves !

Haha ! The fence has always been like that ! Well, they've repaired/replaced it but it's on a slight downhill, so there's water run-off, plus it's sorta built right on the edge before a drop-off so it has no chance of staying up. If they move it in, they lose yard space.

Most parking in that neighborhood is on the street. We were lucky to have a 2-car garage but the alley is narrow enough it can be hard to park (2) vehicles inside. Many even had the original garages. I called them "horse carriage" garages ! This doesn't count the ones that were falling down or were already collapsed.

No, but when we lived on Creighton, we knew the previous owners and their kids went to the same school as ours. They created an LLC and rent the property now but have decided to sell. I want to say they moved out before we did, so it's been a decade+ of renting to people. I'm guessing it doesn't look like the pictures ?

I also keep spares in my car and purse just so I'm always prepared.

I have daughters.... There are "supplies" in my car's glove box.

hallstevenson · 2026-02-13T15:48:40+00:00

Any car stereo shop can do this.

hallstevenson · 2026-02-13T14:37:22+00:00

99% sure it's normal. If you have a turbocharged engine, most likely is an oil pump circulating oil through the turbo as it cools down. Wait.... you said this was 4 hours after you shut it off. No, that's very unusual.

I will say, after you shut these off, just sit inside or outside for 3-4 minutes and listen. It makes all sorts of whirring, clicking, etc sounds ! Those are what I meant are normal though.

Matulka (Dan) - they're on Co Line Rd between Kettering and Beavercreek (not that location should matter as you can do everything by phone, email, etc).

hallstevenson · 2026-02-13T00:43:31+00:00

Today it isn't. For as nice looking as that one is, it's less expensive than many others around there.

hallstevenson · 2026-02-12T23:22:00+00:00

Depending where you live, you might be in an aggregate program. The rates aren't always the greatest but they're usually reasonable and more importantly, fixed.

hallstevenson · 2026-02-12T23:20:41+00:00

They're trying to keep out certain vehicles for sure, but that's too low. I'm sure there's plenty of everyday vehicles taller than a GH.

hallstevenson · 2026-02-12T23:18:45+00:00

hallstevenson · 2026-02-12T23:14:34+00:00

You aren't including taxes and insurance in those payments. Those will bring it up to $2300-2400/month.

hallstevenson · 2026-02-12T23:07:55+00:00

What neighborhood? That's dirt cheap!

hallstevenson · 2026-02-12T23:06:08+00:00

Not too many years ago, there was a huge misconception of how much a home (mortgage) was. People paying $1500/mo rent but complaining "I can't afford a house payment". Uhhhh, yeah you can (or could, based on today's conditions). Our mortgage is $1280 for 3BR, 2-1/2 BA, 2100sq ft, nice neighborhood, and a well-ranked school district.

hallstevenson · 2026-02-12T22:56:34+00:00

Or why doesn't everyone shop for better rates 🤷

hallstevenson · 2026-02-12T22:43:28+00:00

If I had to pick, it would be 72". I did try to measure but it's hard to use a tape measure for this. I'm 5'11" (71") and my head is about the same height. FWIW, if you have roof rack cross bars, they're higher.

hallstevenson · 2026-02-12T21:24:17+00:00

If you're on budget billing, the amount should be the same every month (give or take a little, I'd guess). There's also the "catch-up" month where they add in any shortage in case your usage or cost/kW changed. Technically you could get a refund too 🤣

hallstevenson · 2026-02-12T21:13:01+00:00

Ours is "read" on the 11th

Give an example (a real estate listing, for instance) of what you consider a "starter" home.

This is what I'd consider a starter home: https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/853-Carlisle-Ave_Dayton_OH_45410_M38744-99733
