What would you do? Used car we bought, bad rust in one area

Hi everyone, my son purchased this 2014 Acura ILX. Somehow I managed to not notice the severity of one spot of rust on the underside of the driver front quarter panel and rocker. The PPI mentioned rust but the photos didn’t capture it very well and I didn’t realize it was this severe.

Let’s face it, I screwed up.

Question now is what to do from here. Should I take it to a rust…fixing place, just treat it heavily with rust converter? I know this is worthy of mockery (let me have it) but genuinely what would you do?

The rest of the car is in good shape and it runs well. But obviously this rust is not good.

UPDATE: booked it in for an estimate Monday am

2014 Acura ILX - a few issues we wanted to check

Hi folks,

My son just bought his first car, a 2014 Acura ILX.

It’s in relatively decent shape except for a few things I was hoping for input on.

  1. the driver rear door lock doesn’t respond to the key fob. I’ve read it could be a worn out actuator. Is that hard to replace as a DIY? Anyone done it? I couldn’t seem to find any YouTube vids on it. I imagine it’s a pricey fix at the dealer.

  2. the backup camera shows the guidelines but no image (just black). Probably just replace the camera itself? Easy to do?

  3. we notice some slightly jerky or halting acceleration when starting out, especially accelerating to highway speed. It’s the 2L automatic. Any idea how to correct that?

Is there a champ you absolutely hate to play against?

I mean just that one champ that triggers irrational anger when you fight them 😅

I know there’s probably more than one. But for me, it’s Ekko. I don’t know what it is about him, but his abilities and audio just annoy the heck out of me. Even some of the more typical irritating champs like Lux or Veigar don’t piss me off like Ekko does.

How about you?

2012 Camry - too old?

I’m trying to help my son buy his first car. There’s a decent 2012 Camry LE, 158,700 kms, $15K CDN nearby (private sale). No rust or accidents. But he’s convinced it’s “too old”. My feeling is the age doesn’t matter THAT much if it was well maintained and the kms aren’t super high. Thoughts on that? And the price?

Not the best photo but good enough. These were fun to paint, I’m looking forward to trying the game out.

How do I use Vlads abilities?

Hi folks,

When I try to play Vlad I feel like I’m tickling the other team. Then I see some Vlads just stomp and get big kills. I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong. I play basic ARAM almost exclusively.

When I ult nobody seems to die lol. I use transfusion and it…sorta hurts? I try the third ability and by the time it goes off I’m focused and dead.

I tried watching some how-to videos and I swear it’s always 25 mins of some guy doing ok but not explaining anything he’s doing, so it doesn’t help.

I’m wondering if a good Vlad player could explain how they go about using his abilities in team fights (order, timing, whatever)?

Why so many rebuilt status?

I’m genuinely curious why I see so many rebuilt status used cars for sale on Facebook marketplace. And it’s almost entirely by folks from abroad as far as I can tell. Nothing inherently wrong with that but it’s noticeable. Are they car flipping or…why always rebuilt? Whats the deal? (Canada).

Pediatrician just sunk us imo

Today a pediatrician told my wife and 15 year old daughter he’s “not concerned at all”, and they use a different BMI scale for kids/teens. She’s 60th percentile for weight.

But she isn’t eating and she has lost a lot of weight. She’s very very thin. Something is clearly wrong. Now I won’t be able to help her because the Doctor just neutered my ability to push for treatment by saying everything is fine. My wife is very dismissive of it now.

What should I do?

EGO mower doesn’t have enough lift for long grass that’s laying down

Love my EGO mower to be clear. This is my third summer with it.

We had a week of very heavy rain and my grass got quite long. It’s laying down in areas and trying to rake it to prep for mowing hasn’t helped.

I’ve always found the mower doesn’t lift the grass enough. But can usually mow often enough that it hasn’t mattered.

For those of you who’ve encountered a similar situation: does the high lift EGO blade improve this significantly? Or are there other solutions that worked?

EGO mower lacks lift

Hi folks

Going on my third season with an EGO 21 inch standard 56v self-propel mower.

The battery has always worked great, the self-propel is peppy, mower starts and runs great.

But it just lacks lift for the grass.

Right now our grass is too long because we had a week of *very* heavy rain in which we couldn’t mow and the grass was in heaven.

Now it’s laying down in a lot of spots - almost looks like fur in places!

I tried to stir it up with a weed whacker but it’s still laying down in spots.

The darn EGO just doesn’t lift enough to cut long grass. I wish it had one of those plastic rake attachments on the front to help with that (our old Troy Bilt had one).

Is the only solution to go back to a stronger gas mower? Do the high-lift blades from EGO help? I’d have tried one already but they are oddly hard to get in Alberta for some reason.

Best build for Vayne in regular ARAM?

I play regular ARAM 98% of the time and I really like Vayne…but I also really underperform with her. She’s was wondering if you guys could recommend a rune and item build to use with her. I find I’m dying before I can complete kills.

No accidents, but actually yes accidents

This is why I hate buying used cars lol.

Buyer says no accidents. Great! We go check out the car, seems decent, good test drive. Dude seems decent enough. I’m about to book a $200 PPI.

Spend $80 on Carfax just for due diligence.

Two accidents. One is last summer. One is several thousand dollars.

So now I’m out 80 bucks. Just like that. I assume you guys would bail on the sale? Or am I being too picky? It’s a 2010 Mazda.

Can people really not get their facts straight on accident history?

First impression of (single piece/3d printed) minis

I picked up a Harlow box yesterday. Brought in from my LGS. I wasn’t sure if I’d get the resin prints or casts, but got the printed ones. If I’m being honest the box is quite pricey (83 bucks Canadian) but I put that down to exchange rates and whatnot.

No visible layer lines that I could see. Very nice detail. Small amount of tiny supports that I removed using a magnifier and sharp exacto tip.

I was worried about brittleness so I was determined not to drop any. Then I let my guard down and dropped one, and it broke at the foot and off the base (was attached with superglue gel and some Vallejo texture paste around the feet).

It was about a 2 foot drop onto firm carpet.

While not awesome, I can live with that (thank god it wasn’t the gun barrel). Using superglue and some baking soda I was able to firmly reattach.

So far so good. I like the minis and look forward to painting them. Value for money isn’t ideal but again, I think it’s a Canada thing partly.

We need a way to opt out of this cat mode

For the love of God. I can’t take 12 more days of this - every game of ARAM I’ve played today has been cat mode. Do not enjoy it. Just want to play regular ARAM with the cool skins. And when I say as much in the chat, other people seem to agree.

Make it optional! Please!

And if there’s a way to turn it off, please enlighten me :)

What is this cat mode thing

And can I opt out of it somehow? I mean it’s cute I guess but I’d rather just play regular Wild Rift. (I play ARAM mostly).

Dishwasher error E09 question

So I know from googling that this is a heat pump error or failure. It shows up at the end of each wash cycle (started about a week ago).

But…our dishes are coming out clean, no residue or food debris etc.

Does that mean I don’t actually need to replace the pump?

Digital ID…but show your ID

Well this was weird:

I used the digital ID thing like AC seemed to want me to. Boarding was awesome - just look at a camera.

But after everyone had boarded, and were getting ready to depart etc, the gate agent came to my seat and asked to see my photo ID.

I obliged but…what? What was the point of that lol? It was strange.

One part about the party confused me

When Nikki seems to look at Bear in horror and screams “it’s not me?” I couldn’t hear her) - right after reciting part of her book:

- did the book part make the real Nikki start taking over and the “other” Nikki flip out?

- or is the real Nikki emerging, flipping out and trying to hurt herself with the bottle (almost attacking the “thing in her head” in a way)?
