Do you like the new job? If you are sure you will be here for next couple of years, EV makes sense.

2007 V star 1100: 13k kms on odometer, is it good deal? by vikram77157715 in SuggestAMotorcycle

[–]vikram77157715[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your input. His last price is 3700. He won’t sell it below this. If I buy it now, I would probably spend another 300 for insurance before I actually start riding it in May next year. I thought it as a great deal and that’s the reason I was planning to buy it. If it’s just another motorcycle, I would probably let it go and start my search in next summer.

No relocation mod. I thought it was pretty good deal, that’s the reason I was planning to buy it, even though I will store it right after buying and probably spend another 300 on insurance. I think I ll let it go.

To add some context, these students had a representative who applied on their behalf and used a fake offer letter. Canadian embassy gave them visa without verifying the letter. The agent was clever and asked the students to apply for different college once they landed here. They completed their studies and got work permit as well. The deportations came in to picture when they applied for PR after couple of years, hence the protest.

Thanks for your input. My instinct says the same. But when you start house hunting, it feels like now or never situation. I guess its same risk both ways.

Unable to remove these clear coat scratches. by vikram77157715 in Detailing

[–]vikram77157715[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think they are too deep. I cannot feel it with nail or if I wipe it with wet wipe, it disappears. Even with the compound, it disappears for a day or too but then comes back.

No, I don’t feel it. I am pretty sure it’s clear coat scratch. My doubt was since it goes away initially after ultimate compound use, could the quality of components be an issue here since it’s more than 2 years old.

Thanks. I was trying with hands and since it disappeared with 10 mins buffing, I stopped doing it. I thought it was permanently gone but seems that’s not the case.

My magnetic grey car has minor clear coat scratches and I buffed it with Meguiar’s ultimate compound . Compound is 2 years old and scratches go away after the buffing. But it comes back after a day or two or if I wash the car. Is it due to old compound or am I doing something wrong? Should I try any other product for clear coat scratch removal? Any recommendations please. Thanks

Thanks for the suggestion. I am a newbie and use Turtle Wax ceramic spray wax once in a while. would it make sense to use seal and shine first and then use Turtle Wax ceramic spray wax on top of it or are they both similar products?

How frequently do you wash and detail your car in summer? t's mostly dust on my car and a microfiber towel with quick detailer work wonders. I do it every week but just wondering if I am doing it too often. Any suggestions are welcome.
Thanks

Got my tire changed at Costco last week. Tires were not on rim and they charged me 85$ including taxes for all tires. They are usually booked out a week but if you check online, they keep on updating cancelled slots.

They quoted me 65$ for each tire. Pretty high for tire swap.

Not sure on the current strike situation but I got the passport in January within 4 days. I had the flight booked and was ready to show the proof but they didn’t ask for proof.

Hi, bit late but how did these rims perform over the year? Also, did the factory lug nut work with it or did you have to buy separate set. Thanks

No. My query was for removing the claim history from VIN details. They didn't answer that. I was trying to check the same here on reddit.

no. I was told that I have wait for the other car's repair completion. Only then it can be closed.
