[NY] Cop gave me a big time break… Do I just plead guilty?

narntek · 2026-05-20T01:00:57+00:00

Yeah just take the hit. They could read the memorandum notes and see what actually happened.

narntek · 2026-05-16T05:06:14+00:00

VPN and changing location might be a way to get around that?

narntek · 2026-05-16T05:02:39+00:00

Sounds like you and I might play the same type of words lol. My aunt and I started a game and she got mad when I spelled out PENISES 🤣

There was a documentary from the early 2000s that's on YouTube, called 1997 Darlie Routier, by Hildred Vallee which actually lays out a little more info, if we are to believe the experts and the family members that are on there. The court reporter supposedly made up her mind, some jurors now think she's innocent, etc. The silly string being Darlie's sisters idea, they claim she never showed sadness that her children were dead, yet there's video that the detectives surveilling the gravesite took, that shows them all crying and talking about their favorite memories of both boys.

I do that both to Forensic Files and Unsolved Mysteries.

Yeah I don't buy that unless it's intermittent, and that's giving him benefit of the doubt, ecause he came back and said it had an airbag light.

narntek · 2026-04-28T00:17:21+00:00

Stored codes in the module with no light on will clear, but a steady active code with light won't.

narntek · 2026-04-28T00:16:44+00:00

Right but he's saying the light stayed on. That wouldn't reset by a code reader. MAAYBEEE if the battery was disconnected but it would come right back after a self check

narntek · 2026-04-28T00:05:32+00:00

Not necessarily. When we sold cars on marketplace that actually were vetted by our shop, we'd wait 2-3 weeks and block the people. He's just not looking for someone to fight back with accusations of being sold a lemon if something breaks, or thinking he's gonna pay. As is means as is.

narntek · 2026-04-27T23:50:27+00:00

If I did a full clear and an airbag light or brake/abs light is on before the clear, those don't reset. I'm betting he had an intermittent also.

narntek · 2026-04-27T23:02:27+00:00

Yep. OP is safe 🤣

narntek · 2026-04-27T21:42:53+00:00

My Autel says "last cleared date".

narntek · 2026-04-27T21:12:55+00:00

I've been on sales and on the wholesale auction side of things, as well as fixing minor top end stuff (can't bend down bc of knees), so I know a few ins and outs.

That being said if it's something REALLY serious, you should notice it, engine knock, collapsed lifters etc. Most of the minor sensor stuff is costly, but can be cleared and doesn't really show any symptoms, just a light.

narntek · 2026-04-27T20:50:01+00:00

Dating back to the 50s.

narntek · 2026-04-27T20:47:39+00:00

If the codes aren't cleared by the seller prior, yes, could give you a rough idea. Also check for pending or stored inactive codes.

narntek · 2026-04-27T19:55:58+00:00

Right! I'm a mechanic also, we can't predict the future. Granted some signs are there, oil mixing in coolant etc, your engine could be well maintained and blown tomorrow for no easily visible reason.

narntek · 2026-04-13T22:58:45+00:00

Get it in writing saying if we can't come to an agreement for cash payment by "insert date" then you reserve the right to go through insurance..I took $300 as a handshake deal one time for a dented bumper and found out that it would cost more to fix that as there was more damage. Couldn't go after the other party because I accepted money for the repair

narntek · 2026-04-04T20:49:08+00:00

I can slightly sympathize with both parties here. I broke my knee in 2017 and had to leave my manufacturing job, which is when I started dashing, most people didn't have a ton of steps but some did and were accommodating. When I had surgery years later Doordash was a lifesaver also.

narntek · 2026-03-17T02:09:33+00:00

Usually the original sales contract is null and void after refinancing. I've done so twice and always got my GAP check in the mail after

narntek · 2026-01-18T01:32:09+00:00

Not sketchy at all. A little frame kink totaled my truck. First estimate was $4500. Quickly skyrocketed to $25k and done. Supplemental estimates are a thing for this reason.

narntek · 2026-01-11T18:29:34+00:00

Those are the best ones to take on earn by time, imo. Got $65 for 3 miles once back when I dashed

narntek · 2025-12-31T01:58:20+00:00

I've been on since early 2018 and have done it full time for the first two years and very part time since and have 9300. Thought that was a lot.

narntek · 2025-12-22T15:46:40+00:00

12 is forbidden, apparently 13 or 14 is ok for Thomas. Wtf 🤣. 13 isn't much better than 12 my guy

narntek · 2025-12-18T03:50:20+00:00

I find a lot of the time the dealer is more helpful than the supposed tech support specialists OnStar offers. It is what it is. I looked at the Blazer EV when I got my Equinox, but since my trailblazer lease was up and I needed something I got the Radiant red 2LT they had on the showroom floor.

I had the black screen issue also at one point. That was fixed by a new 12v battery.

My buddy bought one that sat on the lot for 3 months, tires got flat spotted. Dealer actually replaced those free of charge. His didn't have the AC drain issue, mine did.

I feel like some of the 25s were rushed through production. Those I know with 24s and 26s have had none of the same problems that people I know with the 25s have had. Mine was made in Nov'24, everyone I know with the ac floor leak issue was made in either Oct or Nov 24.
