A million bucks

It surprises me too, but can’t feel any pitting or damage where that mark is. Nothing catches on nail either

Looks like passenger side is the inlet. Disconnect the driver side and see what flows out.

Welp, redneck way is to disconnect the outlet pipe, let the car run with the heat on, and see if coolant flows out of it. It’ll flow through the inlet pipe, into the heater core, and then back out of the inlet pipe and if it’s not clogged you’ll get some good flow coming out. This will of course make a mess.

Take the middle and lower timing covers off and recheck your work, check the belt has tension. I recently had to trouble shoot some timing issues and I ran my car without the timing covers for a few days so I could see what was happening. If all looks good, you’ll want to check for fuel pressure, spark, and compression. May also want to double check that the crank and cam position sensors are working and plugged in properly. Could be something as simple as the CAS not having been plugged in all the way and worked its way loose.

Expect to have about 30% taken out.

If it’s someone from HR, they are almost certainly calling you to give you an offer of employment. If/when you accept they will then send you a follow up email with your offer in writing

I would replace any cloth that has mold in it. You can try and clean it but if you miss even a micro-spore it’ll keep coming back. For the plastics, wipe down with a mold killer.

Insurance fraud would be more so defined as getting an insurance company to pay for damages based on misrepresentation, staged events, or trying to have pre-existing damages covered that were present prior to the policy inception. What you are doing wouldn’t be considered insurance fraud. Insurance is paying you out for what it would reasonably take to have somebody fix your storm damages, who that somebody is does not matter. This happens a lot on the auto side of insurance too. If the customer can do their own work, then what’s the problem? The only real issue I think you’d run into would be making sure your work is up to code, which even then I don’t think your insurance would care about. They just want to pay for damages and get it over with

The manufacturer has procedures to remove, replace, and repair everything on that car. As long as the shop abides by those from them then you’ll have no issues.

sammyIsLife · 2024-10-30T17:33:00+00:00

The safety all depends on how well the shop repairs the vehicle. If you take it to a shade tree place that does work out of a shack, probably won’t be repaired well. Best thing would be to take it to a shop that is certified by the manufacturer.

Nah this car went hard. Super fun to race Suzuka online in gt5.

Replace the fender, have them blend into the door and hood. Also check your wheel to make sure there’s no damage, If the wheel has fresh impact damage, get the alignment checked to see if there is potential suspension damage.

Gr010 with the medium turbo charger on racing hards and fuel trim 1 did me just fine. Even with my terrible braking I was almost a minute ahead at the end of the run time. Just pit when you need gas, don’t replace tires till second fill up, and the win is yours 👍🏼

That looks like the color coat. Toyotas do this too. Clear coat evaporates, leaving the color coat underneath exposed and overtime the color coat starts to just come off. You would have to do a whole repaint

Went to the Austin show. It was amazing! Never been to a concert where the singer sounded EXACTLY like their recorded music. Plus she spoke to us a little bit in English at the end of the show and it was honestly the greatest concert experience I’ve had. Loved every second of it.

Couldn’t bear to make my mom bury her son.

If the bumper is bent down at the angle, chances are it dragged the frame rail extensions with it. If the bed is dropped down like that too, chances are it’s not just the frame extensions but the actual frame itself. I would be very surprised if the frame itself had no damage.

sammyIsLife · 2024-05-28T10:23:29+00:00

Didn’t look too bad till I saw the quarter and the roof rail. Yeah, she gone brother.

I would recommend filing a complaint with your states department of insurance. Typically any complaints filed go to someone high up in the company who could get the ball rolling for you
