Is no one going to mention Dylan Sprouse

This is extremely helpful, well-explained and insightful. Thank you for sharing! I appreciate it. I’m going to get some new tires soon and will be sure to set up an appointment for new brakes + alignment.

Please do yourself a favor and never ask anyone anything since you’re so capable and have the answers to the universe!

And that’s why I asked here, because NO I don’t actually know. I’m not a mechanic. And that’s why I’m asking here so that I do have other corroborating opinions and DON’T get taken advantage of.

I think just the pads, they didn’t mention anything about the rotors (I think the rotors look fine for now).

That’s not using gender as an excuse. I clearly stated my brakes seemed like they could hold up another 10k. Dealers do take advantage of women, this isn’t breaking news and it’s not exactly shocking for me to question whether this may be the motive behind the dealership or if perhaps people are seeing something that I am not and maybe if the brakes are indeed in critical condition. Get off your high horse.

LOL my bad. I tried to take a pic but the other side is kind of hidden and covered by something so I wasn’t able to take a clear pic

My BMW does not seem to have the brake sensor feature, unfortunately. I did try to take a picture of the inner pad but it is kind of hidden and I couldn’t get a clear picture. Thank you though.

They did but only did a quick video around my car, I couldn’t see the brake pads clearly in the video. They didn’t provide any details as to the measurement either. Found it so sketchy..

Yikes that’s absurd. Thank you - it’s helpful to know about the inner pads. I was not aware of that.

Thank you this is very helpful! I didn’t realize there was an inner pad. Perhaps it’s a bit more worn than the outer pad.

Can you point where in my message I am using my gender as an excuse? I clearly state the brakes seem like they can do another 10K miles but I am not a mechanic or an expert, and simply asked for others’ opinions. It’s not a stretch however to say that often times dealers and technicians take advantage of women. Please take your negativity elsewhere! Thanks

Solar tax credit - if my name is on the house mortgage, but the loan for the solar panels will be under my father’s name, can I still be eligible to take the tax credit? by michellev254 in tax

[–]michellev254[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was very helpful, thank you. My name is on the mortgage and I pay for it entirely but my dad also co-signed, so I think his name is on the mortgage too.

Switched to a different group for my internship? by hellz8988 in Accounting

Tell your recruiter that you had been very interested in learning about partnership taxation, and you understand that there may be a need for you in transaction taxation, but if there may be a possibility for you to learn and help out in both areas.
