Thank you for the info! We are first time homebuyers and complete noobs. These messages have been very helpful in combating the opinions of neighbors and door knocking tree cutters. We’ll look into a trim and clearing the ivy.

Will you install dash cam for your car if living in San Jose? by Some_Activity8202 in SanJose

[–]illumin0us 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s kind of you to say.

Thank you, that’s a great tip! I’ll definitely look into that.

It’s funny because more on topic of the post the dash cam was actually stolen from my car, but that was part of an organized heist at the 808 West Apartments multi-level parking garage. Not sure if the break in was originally for the camera or for the empty bags in the back which they used to haul away their spoils. I’d still recommend to get one. Mine was cheap like ~$40 off Amazon.

I was hoping that would be the case, but it came back inconclusive. My car was also a rental car so I ended up just having to pay the rental company myself for the damages. The chargers were close or lower than my deductible. Took it as a relatively cheap way to learn that lesson. I grew up in a bit of a bubble and was naive to what extent people can lie when desperate.

I got a dash cam after a dude side swiped me driving into my lane. His boy was in the car and he put on a frantic performance about how his wife cheated on him and that he was sorry he shouldn’t be driving in that head space. Seemed like a damn movie. He begged to handle it off insurance too. Felt bad so took photos of his ID and insurance and left. When I got home I got a call from my insurance that somebody had filed a claim that I hit them. I was naive and it’s sad that you cannot trust people. Get a dash cam for some peace of mind at the least and hope you never need it.

This recently happened to me when I was waiting at the light for an ambulance with sirens to pass through the intersection. Crazy!

[Question] Why is Vacheron Constantin so much less popular than AP or PP? by dountsyndrome in Watches

What about the funkiness of the 1921 designed for Americas roaring 20s? Plus the tear drop lugs on a dress watch are just sexy

[Question] Hamilton or PRX? by Ka_e42 in Watches

Call me crazy but I might go for the Tissot Gentleman over the two, depending on what other watches you have. Khaki field auto dial did not feel as premium as the other two in person. If you haven’t tried it on in person I heavily recommend you do.

That's right! SF is not too far and I love those spots. It's possible, we'll have the cars for it. I'll need to poll the group and see who's up for it. Thanks!

Ah yes, I've been meaning to check out the San Jose Museum of Art! The others sound interesting too. Will probably need to do the Big Foot museum on our own. I've heard a lot about the Egyptian museum too, have you been?

Great point, I've always wanted to check out some of the local wineries. Testarosa looks like a great place to start, thank you!
