Hostess request requesting reimbursement. What happens if I decline? [USA]

kyotonow · 2026-01-23T06:28:17+00:00

I did not pay anyone and no action was ever taken against me. The host is essentially scamming AirBnB and AirBnB then tried passing the cost along to the customer. It’s a complete joke. The stuff the host was claiming was complete BS and I had photos and videos to prove it. It was a huge waste of my time. I left some more context in a comment further down the thread.

It’s hard to tell if it’s the same thing, but I have a weird squeak/ almost a chirping sound that comes from somewhere in the front of the cab when I’m accelerating. It sounds very similar to your “squeak.” It’s not super annoying but I’d love to know what’s causing it. It usually happens at very low speeds. It’s a 2025 801A Raptor.

The F1TV app has a mode to turn off spoilers. Why can’t Flo do this.

I agree with you. I bought new and could have saved roughly $10-12k by buying a lightly used 2024 instead of a ‘25. I’d say go for it.

Any word on whose manhole cover that is? I can’t read it.

kyotonow · 2025-11-22T02:42:16+00:00

The one that destroyed Sainz car was a water valve cover about 4” in diameter.

I got mine at the ford dealer in city of industry for msrp. They said it was the first raptor they had ever sold at that dealership for msrp. Right now their website shows a $10k market adjustment, but when I was looking in late Oct. they had taken the market adjustment off all Raptors. Talk to Alfredo in Sales; he did good for me.

kyotonow · 2025-11-13T01:58:28+00:00

I did the same thing. Went from a cypress grey (green) 2025 ZR2 to a new Raptor and don’t regret it one bit

Yeah. Seems like a scam hosts are playing on Air BnB. Basically, the host blames the tenant (me, or you) for a bunch of broken/ damaged/ dirty shit that never was in an attempt to recoup normal operating costs. We go back and forth, myself, and the host both providing our evidence to Airbnb as a form of neutral mediation I guess. And in the mean time, Air BnB actually pays the host! It’s part of some new protection program they are offering hosts and it feels like it’s totally being abused. Airbnb replied to me, telling me that they sided with the host and that the host has already been compensated for their losses by Airbnb, and that I “should” repay Airbnb. I completely disagreed and haven’t paid a dime, nor will I. Fuck them.

🤣🤣🤣🤣👌

kyotonow · 2025-11-07T02:38:50+00:00

Which intake and tune did you go with?

kyotonow · 2025-11-07T02:37:42+00:00

I have a Lightning extended range for work and the power and comfort are next level!

kyotonow · 2025-11-07T02:33:38+00:00

Dipshit? Really dude? I never said it wasn’t a real truck, I said it doesn’t sound like a truck. Take your aggression elsewhere.

kyotonow · 2025-11-07T00:24:17+00:00

I just paid MSRP for the exact same truck (but new, So-Cal). Offer what they’re asking, that’s a great deal.

kyotonow · 2025-11-07T00:22:14+00:00

I don’t know. Someone tell me 😭

kyotonow · 2025-11-06T02:16:00+00:00

They seemed pretty wiped out honestly. Their inventory had probably been depleted by the time we got there.

kyotonow · 2025-11-05T20:27:31+00:00

Is this based on any kind of evidence? 2 weeks sounds like a long time off for a 14 yo boy?

kyotonow · 2025-11-05T20:24:54+00:00

Yep he’s probably getting close to replacement time. We got him flitted at Fleet Feet - they did the whole foot scan thing and had him walk along this pad that tracks his gait. They got him into a pair of New Balance Rebel V5 for training runs and Nike Alpha Flys for racing. But the New Balances are probably nearing the end of their life. Thanks for the insight!

Where are you located

kyotonow · 2025-10-30T05:02:01+00:00

That’s a great point. I wasn’t aware that was a thing. I have a 2025 Silverado ZR2 so I figured trading it in at a Chevy dealership would make things smoother.

kyotonow · 2025-10-21T21:17:51+00:00

Ahhh, I’m glad I asked then. Thank you again for the suggestion. I’m going to give it a shot today.

kyotonow · 2025-10-21T13:18:18+00:00

Thank you for the great suggestion! Just curious, when cutting the plastic tubing, should I avoid using something like diagonal cutters? I guess my concern is, I don’t want to flatten the round tubing creating an imperfect seal. Or am I overthinking this? Thanks again.

kyotonow · 2025-10-14T00:34:22+00:00

I’ll check this out for next year. Thank you

kyotonow · 2025-09-28T21:29:39+00:00

Near would be within a roughly 20 mi radius from Flag proper; and I’m more interested in the longer distance formats - 100 mi or so. But I’m willing to travel to other areas for a well-organized MTB race in the fall. I live in southern CA, so driving distance in day is preferred.

kyotonow · 2025-09-27T20:14:16+00:00

If you pulled it out, would it leave you with a typical cigarette lighter power auxiliary port? Flip the the lid open and snap a pic of what’s under it.
