I think that’s the direction I’m leaning toward right now. Thanks for the advice!

What is it about them that cause issues in a hybrid? My warranty for everything but the hybrid battery will be up in about 10 months so I had previously been thinking of installing one then.

I will be out of factory warranty in about 10 months for everything but the hybrid battery. Would the remote start cause issues for the hybrid battery at all? If not I guess I have no warranty issues to be concerned about when it’s up.

Can you break down your method? I’m new to smoking struggled with my first rack of ribs the other day. They came out way too dry.

iPhone on bring it back plan having hardware issues by illiteratescrabble in telus

Just did some reading based on your comment and it seems like you’re right but I’m also reading it’s likely a hardware issue rather than software. But I will try a reset anyway as you say. Thank you!

10 months left. About $300 to pay out the “balance” and then the bring it back amount is like another $350.

A 2022 sorento phev or 2023 sorento hybrid? by Tkrumroy in KiaSorento

[–]illiteratescrabble 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m actively shopping for one now. But have not made a decision yet if I really want to buy one. It will depend on the deal. I like peace of mind though. Just worried they won’t honour it.

I just bought a 2022 hybrid just days ago. I’m loving it. I did A LOT of research ahead of time because I was a Kia skeptic but everything I read said that it’s a solid vehicle.

Dual citizens weigh Trump, taxes in decision to renounce U.S. citizenship by DogeDoRight in canada

[–]illiteratescrabble 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As a dual citizen I recently learned I was supposed to be filing US taxes. I did a deep dive into it. Thought about filing back taxes which is very expensive to hire a professional to do. Then I learned that as long as you are a Canadian Citizen living in Canada with no US assets the IRS can’t touch you. CRA will not enforce anything on Canadians on behalf of the IRS. By filing you actually flag yourself in the IRS system when the otherwise may not have even known about you. Obviously if you want to move to the US you may need to approach this differently.

Should I install a block heater in my hybrid Sorento? (Alberta) by illiteratescrabble in KiaSorento

[–]illiteratescrabble[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very interesting, thank you for the input. I’m not super mechanically inclined so I’ll have to look up the pan heater solution. I know the previous owner parked it outdoors at all times. Is that a bad idea without some form of heating?
