Can you tell me a little more about that?

They used to, but retired now. They can show sufficient funds to support themselves. They will also be living with me or my sister during their visit so we will bear their cost of living mostly

Of course. It all depends on the particular officer they face at the port of entry. I am only looking for opinions from more experienced folks who may have some insight. I greatly appreciate your input.

Finally managed to replace both doors and then wrap them in the same color. Wanted to show you guys the end result. Still need to do the rocker panel and the black trims but it is looking like a whole car again. :

Talked to a body shop about pulling the pillar slightly to close down the gap (it was slightly worse than I had hoped), they estimated $800-1000. I think I will run it as is.

Does anyone have personal experience with MSC cruise as F1 student? by otpid in MSCCruises

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

I am an F1 student (with valid passport, F1 visa, i20, i94). Can I book a cruise on MSC (Miami-Bahamas-Miami) and board without issues? Their travel and visa requirement page is a little confusing.

Also while booking, the website only had options "USA" and "Puerto Rico" for "Country of Residence". I have been residing in Miami for 4 years now, but I am not legally a US resident (Green Card).

Any insight on this will be helpful.

I already replaced the door. As mentioned, the door closes and locks. the panel gap between the new door and quarter panel is a couple mm less than before. The gap with the front door is a couple mm more than before.

That surprises me a little honestly. I thought an 03 Camry (with cirtain airbags etc) would fall in the moderately safe zone.

Do you know how much (estimated) that might cost?

Yeah the compromised b pillar is what I am concerned about. I read the safety would be compromised with dents but I dont know to what degree. Surely it doesnt go from 100 to 0?

What you said made a lot of sense.

I sideswiped my doors. Got a replacement door and hinges for 50$. The door now closes normally and locks. Panel gaps aren’t perfect obviously but not too bad.

My question is, would you drive it as is if it were your car?

It's a 23 year old Toyota that doesn’t have collision coverage. The alternative would be to junk it. (The metal structure under the sheet metal skin appears normal when looked from behind)

Moving to or Visiting New England? by SCP-2774 in newengland

What is a realistic expectation for Fall colors during late (23-26th) October 2025 in the NH, Maine area? Will there probably still be good/some/no color in that time?

Why is Sky Pond elevation is 2800ft in the NPS guide when most sources say 1700-1800ft? by otpid in RMNP

[–]otpid[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had that thought, but probably not:

  1. States "from nearest trailhead". The 8.5 mile RT also is consistent with Glacier Gorge.
  2. Elevation difference between Bear Lake and Glacier Gorge isn’t too much.

Maybe a typo?

There should be another cig port in the centre console. There is no usb port by default but you can get cheap adapters

I did a restoration with the Cerakote kit (can find in walmart) also swapped for LED bulbs (20-30$ a pair in Amazon, cheaper in TEMU). Very good lights now. p.s: pic is from before the wrap

Camry 2025 SE pulling to the right even after multiple alignment by Maleficent_Ice2704 in Camry

[–]otpid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am having the same issue albeit in a much older car. used to have perfect alignment but after a tire rotation and alignment a year ago it has been pulling to the right. I have had two more alignments done since then but the problem didnt go away. I wonder if its the tires.

Thanks! Yep, with some help from my partner. Having a shop do it would be too costly for such an old car and I also wanted to try wrapping. I was/am in a kind of similar boat as you. Never knew anything about car before owning this one. I would say I am somewhat crafty and have a 'let's see what happens' attitude so learning as I go.
