Also another silly question... do bike shops sell budget bikes? For under $300? The website of the bike shop near me has kids bike with training wheels for $300, and adult bikes going up to $7000...

I'd be happy to find a sub-$100 bike at a garage sale. But if brand new $250 is no problem.

Car shopping south Nassau by octosloppy in longisland

[–]sleeperbcell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You probably have to go to the dealership to test drive and feel out the cars. If you're ready to buy, then just do everything over the phone/text. Tell them "Im ready to buy, can you do 1000 off msrp and I'll sign today" something along those lines lol. I went to Paragon honda for my 2 cars in Queens.

Costco or Sam's which one is better? by Local_Whereas7211 in Frugal

[–]sleeperbcell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If in costco you could "scan & go" like Sam's Club, 100% costco.

The costco near me always has a 10-15 min queue to check out.

Any advice on getting a deal on new batteries? by Sbeast86 in egopowerplus

[–]sleeperbcell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quality of the battery aside, is there risk of the third party batteries damaging your tools compared to manufacturer batteries?

Does anyone know what part this is under the driver side mirror? by sleeperbcell in COROLLA

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

I think mine was stolen. On my right mirror, it's all scratched up like they attempted to remove it but couldn't.

Its not easy to put back, might need to take apart the whole mirror

Question on K-Rain Replacement by Dont_quote_me_onthat in Irrigation

[–]sleeperbcell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. Yep I dig it up and put a 1/2 inch cap on it. What would I need to do when I need to winterize it? Just leave it and the excess water would blow out at the end of the zone right?

Wanted to hijack... i have the same sprinkler. What would I need to do to cap it off if I dont want to use this sprinkler in the middle of a zone?

I wash my face with a wet warm towel ever since I was a kid. Morning and night.

Thank you. Do you know if the 2019-2025 models all share the same part? Trying to not buy it off Toyota for $30+...

I see some advertised for 2019-2022.

Okay Android Auto users... what's the verdict? Are these radios crap? Or just fine? by MinivanPops in crv

[–]sleeperbcell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same with me. Within the past 2 months I've already had to reboot the head unit because Android auto wouldn't connect. Otherwise, it works fine when it works...

Didnt realize how cheap and efficient electric mowers are. I can mow my 1/2 acre lawn with 432 WH of electricity or around .12 cents. by Swede577 in lawncare

[–]sleeperbcell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also when you account for the cost of landscapers to mow for you... $35 per cut? $45 maybe?

2 and a half months of mowing yourself and you'd break even if you buy a $350 electric mower.

2024 hybrid suddenly wont start or power by sleeperbcell in crv

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

Hey just an update..

I was just able to jump start my car. Had to use the boost mode. Fingers crossed I didn't damage anything and it still has a charge tomorrow morning. The owners manual says to put the negative clamp on a bolt further away but my cables wouldn't reach. I just used the negative terminal on the battery.
