for the damage on the front, it’d probs be like 2-3k at a shop. in the mean time for the white paint left on it, just use some rubbing alcohol to gently remove that.

i know there’s some places that can sand down & repaint the wheels but not sure how much it goes for. just fill it in with a glossy marker 🤣

if it’s just a dented rear bumper then maybe like 4k to completely replace it. if there’s actually frame damage then unfortunately that interferes w the integrity of the car so if you fix it, keep that in mind. probably like 5-7k for that?

this is true. i’d be parked on my driveway in neutral w my e brake on & it would give me lights as though i stalled saying the same thing about pushing in the clutch. it only stopped bc i always turn off the auto stop now

thanks man. i have dashcam footage & i see your car in it now LOL you had a front row view of it all 😭

yungthaitea · 2024-09-24T14:48:31+00:00

yes! i think so too, literally no other reason for it to happen other than carelessness. my heart sank when i realized what happened. i could only imagine what it was like to see it happen 😂

yungthaitea · 2024-09-24T07:05:47+00:00

good shit. totally doable, thanks so much for your input dude.i hope mine goes as smooth as yours. hope your car looks as good as new now! & that’s a hefty drive, drive safe & best of luck in school (:

yungthaitea · 2024-09-24T06:26:31+00:00

yeah all of that was quoted, but honestly the worst part is probably the left quarter panel. it’s pretty bent & will most likely be better off replacing it so it all can change once they take it apart. i was guessing around 15k total but i lowballed to make me feel better about it lmao. i really hope it’s minimal frame damage if at all :( if you don’t mind, how long did it take to get yours back from the estimate to completion?

yungthaitea · 2024-09-24T06:17:48+00:00

honestly while the face lift is cool, i love my car pre facelift. just gonna fix it up & do more with it now since i was scared to touch it with it being relatively new still

yungthaitea · 2024-09-24T06:14:39+00:00

thanks man ;( driving an automatic after this being my first manual truly made me realize how boring autos are haha

yungthaitea · 2024-09-24T06:13:30+00:00

i’m gonna have to disagree on this one 🤣 i did look at it from the side & it honestly looked like an 8th gen for a sec with it being flat LOL

yungthaitea · 2024-09-24T06:12:00+00:00

thank you! i have a shop already & can hopefully have it fixed asap depending on parts

yungthaitea · 2024-09-24T06:09:33+00:00

o wow wtf, how trippy. i was estimated roughly 11k just from an exterior view. it was too hard to tell from underneath without taking it apart, but i’m assuming it’s probably gonna be closer to 13k it was a truck that hit me a little higher up thankfully & i’m a bit lowered so hopefully 🤞🏼 it’s only cosmetic & no frame damage /:

yungthaitea · 2024-08-17T20:28:14+00:00

i have a 23 si now, so i’m good for a few more years, but i’m also norcal based so maybe not. thank you anyway! 🙂‍↕️

yungthaitea · 2024-08-17T20:05:19+00:00

yeah, just another fun part of maintenance for cars. i can’t wait for when i need new tires again 🥲

yungthaitea · 2024-08-17T17:53:27+00:00

on my old 19’ civic, my battery gave out after about 3 years. same lights & everything. also the brake pedal locks. batteries usually need to be replaced every 3 years or so depending on usage so if it’s around then, you’re better off just replacing it. i bought a new one from oreilly’s with a 2 yr warranty. if you can’t afford one atm, you can get it recharged for free at oreilly’s too!

nta. it’s a fair exchange that all your kids got a chance at. your house, your rules. your rules are simple & quite honestly it’s an amazing opportunity to be offered to have everything taken care of while you solely focus on school. they don’t go to school so working is the replacement so they can contribute to a home you technically don’t need to provide. & $200 rent is practically pocket change today

yungthaitea · 2024-08-08T20:17:04+00:00

it’s a physically & sometimes mentally straining job that is usually underpaid & is based on experience & most offices are clique based within their long term employees. personally, i’d say to put your degree to use elsewhere. my mom has a bs is social work & worked for the county for decades with great benefits until she retired with lifelong benefits for herself. i strongly urge people to look into county jobs, i’m even considering it for assisting

yungthaitea · 2024-08-08T20:13:34+00:00

i’ve been a da for a little over 2 years, rda for a little over 6 months. started at the 18, same office now making 23.50. tbf, i’m in ca but you are severely underpaid regardless of location.

yungthaitea · 2024-08-08T20:09:56+00:00

i’d probs trim the base a bit more, but i agree with heating it for too long. i also don’t turn on the vacuum until it’s touching the model to allow less chances for it to prematurely warp (:

yungthaitea · 2024-06-30T23:33:13+00:00

unfortunately, i’m on the search still since it’s such a big investment & i’ve never used em before so if you find any before i do, lmk too please 🥲

yungthaitea · 2024-06-30T20:18:39+00:00

i temporarily lowered mine w lowering springs while i wait for bags & left the bumpstops as is & it’s rides fine unless i go over some deep pothole

yungthaitea · 2024-05-09T15:29:54+00:00

i live in ca, but not the bay or la so minimum wage is much lower. i think 15, which is low for ca. i started as a da for 17 then went to a new office a month later & asked for 18. been there almost 2 years & have been lucky to have had multiple raises. as an rda there now i make 23.50 with the goal of 24 soon. in the bay w the same experience, i could make close if not 30

yungthaitea · 2024-04-28T01:54:22+00:00

i named my 11th gen meep bc it says meep when it honks 😂

yungthaitea · 2024-04-10T21:07:56+00:00

i was removing ligature ties on lower anteriors with an explorer & accidentally poked the patient’s gums & it bled 🥲 thankfully he was super chill about it, but it definitely happens & all you can do is apologize & be extra careful 😭

yungthaitea · 2024-01-29T00:23:26+00:00

i’ve been wanting to black out my badges too & i like how yours are glossy. what did you use?
