2023.06.07 12:03 Ok-Reward-6390 21 [M4F] Brazil -3/anywhere -- not uninteresting man looks for a good thing

I haven’t even flirted for such a long time, and lately, during those boring lunches where people just talk about heiresses’ dogs’ illnesses (a Pomeranian dog shares all her illnesses with her owner) or gossip about some technocrat who has a limp and who may be cheating on his partner, and while rice with cod is served, I am asked “darling, are you dating yet?”. No, I am not, and here I am, mostly because dating apps are too dull – unfortunately the odds of being flashed by a Jewish 19 year-old from Manchester is smaller on these things, though sometimes you might have some luck and end up being insulted randomly by a Portuguese girl, who is visiting her uncle.
I do have names, and surnames, and I was born in a big city in Brazil. My sister used to describe our childhood address as “a building with cars and trees and buildings”, which is a rather good description of much of the city. For a while I wanted to join the seminary but after having to face the fact that this was an inadequate career choice considering I didn’t believe in God and had always found masses to be awfully boring (though fascinating at times – the priest at my childhood church used to go on long rants about things, of which there are many) often turning my back to see the watch, and so I chose the next best thing: I am studying sociology, which involves, in many ways, taking a vow of poverty. I also work at a small online newspaper so I am well informed on sub celebrities and local occurrences such as babies heroically rescued by policemen after choking on the thing babies eat. And yes, I write poetry sometimes.
I am fascinated fairly often by everything, or many things, at least so you won’t be bored. These last days I ended up reading a lot of things about Egypt after reading about Ottoman chief eunuchs being exiled to Cairo after their tenure. In general, I really enjoy the humanities. I follow politics keenly – in fact, there is some chance I might have some thoughts on your country’s politics – and I’d say I am on the centre-left – pro-choice, in favour of a robust welfare state, LGBTQ+ rights, affirmative action. If you know about Brazilian politics, I voted for Marina and Haddad in 2018 (the voting age here is 16), and Lula last year.
As you can imagine, I also really enjoy reading and writing. Besides poetry, I have often thought about writing a novel, but this seems like too much work – and it seems that it would be arrogant of me to write a novel having lived this little, though it wouldn't be uncommon. I really enjoy learning about other languages and cultures and I know a bit of French, German, Spanish, and Russian, besides English and Portuguese. I’d really like to learn Arabic and/or Mandarin. I am really into genealogy, and I know quite a bit about it. I often cry while watching dumb movies (I cried during Minions!) or listening to beautiful music; my music taste has been described as “fairly gay” and in movies as “slightly gay”.
I guess I am pretty introverted, polite, and timid (well, I am on here after all). I am affectionate and I can be really passionate as well. And I am fairly funny, or rather, I have made a few people laugh over the years. I asked a close friend to describe myself, and that is what he said:
I think you’re very communicative. Shrewd, funny, a good companion. Kind of withdrawn but not necessarily shy. You avoid conflict and unnecessary arguments, but love to participate in good conversations. I think you’re very kind too, besides being polite.
As for what I want to do with my life, I am unsure though I am inclined to go into academia. I have been considering applying to a PhD program in the U.S. after finishing my undergrad here in Brazil. My family does want me to go into their business, which is related to politics. I have also considered going into diplomacy.
Who am I looking for? I’d like someone curious about the world around her, and open-minded. The rest? Cultural differences can be interesting and I am open to converting (nominally?) to most world religions.
Some poems I really like:
Some songs I have been listening to:

2023.06.07 11:28 webuyequipment Tips for Selling Heavy Equipment - Interstate Heavy Equipment

Tips for Selling Heavy Equipment - Interstate Heavy Equipment
It’s not easy to sell large machinery. And deciding which equipment listing sites are worth the time and effort against which aren’t. Many construction equipment businesses have difficulty selling their products via the internet. With that in mind, here are nine of our best online tips for selling heavy equipment.
Heavy equipment is a niche market—few individuals shop for quarter-million-dollar construction machines, and even fewer have the funds to make a purchase. Even if you discover a few interested people and have the financial means to buy a $100,000 excavator or a $300,000 bulldozer, they may not live in your area and be unwilling to bear the price of transporting the machine across the state or nation.
Selling heavy equipment is similar to selling real estate in that you must be willing to play the long game. The average 972M wheel loader, for example, waits on the market for 105 days before being purchased, according to MachineryTrader.com. So, keep trying if you still don’t have any sales. The suitable buyer will eventually discover you if you do your best to get your equipment listings seen.

1. Place an ad on Machinery Trader for your equipment.

Intestate Heavy Equipment is still one of the most popular websites for heavy equipment shopping. At the top of Google search results, it routinely appears for high-volume search terms such as “excavators for sale” or “heavy equipment sales.”

2. Place an ad on Craigslist for your equipment.

Although you might not think of Craigslist as the first place to look for expensive construction equipment, it does have an entire heavy equipment category dedicated to it. The Craigslist Heavy Equipment page for Las Vegas, for example, featured 1050 local sales listings at the time of writing.

Pros:

Equipment owners’ listings are free. Furthermore, “heavy machinery for sale Craigslist is an online classified ad service”is a popular Google search word. It indicates that many individuals are looking for heavy equipment on Craigslist.

Cons:

Sellers are discouraged from offering equipment outside the city where their business is situated on Craigslist. For example, if your company is based in Las Vegas and you try to list your equipment in other cities, such as Los Angeles or Phoenix, your listing may be marked for removal.
Don’t include your email address when listing your equipment. Scammers and hackers have used Craigslist to send phishing emails. However, if someone is interested in purchasing something, they will call—so all you need to include is your phone number and website.

https://preview.redd.it/5xdoj5ofek4b1.png?width=940&format=png&auto=webp&s=d4261618544108510ceba3698048cc71fa319d60

3. Post your machines in Facebook Heavy Equipment Groups.

Pros: Some advertising packages include comprehensive data and analytics. You can track the number of impressions and clicks an ad receives, as well as the number of phone calls it produces. You may even record incoming phone calls so that a supervisor can listen in and provide salespeople input on improving their lead-to-conversion rates.
Cons: Listing equipment on Machinery Trader might be costly. Their pricing plan is still based on their print magazine, which explains why their advertising expenses are more significant than expected.
Machinery Trader does not currently allow equipment dealers to list their equipment online—you must also pay for a position in their print magazine if you want to market your equipment on their website(s). Ad packages that include unlimited inventory listings start at $295 per week and start at $50 per week per machine.
Over two dozen Facebook groups buy and sell agricultural and construction equipment. Some are broad “heavy equipment for sale” groups, while others focus on a specific machine category—forklifts, for example—or a specific geographic area—the Southwest United States.

Pros:

Using Facebook groups to advertise equipment is free, and the platform allows you to send a single item to dozens of groups at once. The procedure of listing a piece of equipment takes only a few minutes.
Thanks to a recent modification in the newsfeed algorithm, Facebook groups may also prove to be a terrific way to get equipment spotted by potential clients. The admin altered Facebook’s algorithm at the time of writing to “prioritize the Pages and groups we anticipate an individual may care about the most,” resulting in postings from groups being at the top of many people’s feeds.
Cons: Many Facebook heavy equipment groups have thousands of members, and new listings post multiple times a day on each group’s page. It can be challenging to break through the clutter and notice your listings.
Pro-Tip: Use high-resolution photographs and provide a link to your website in the article description. Even if no one from Facebook buys your machine, including a link on your page can assist drive visitors to your site and raising brand awareness.

4. Build an email list of people who are interested in what you have to say.

Email marketing may be a powerful tool for selling heavy machinery when done correctly. Encourage individuals to join your email list by adding an email capture plugin to your website. For example, you could run a Facebook ad that targets your Facebook fans and people who have previously visited your website.

5. Make contact with local vendors.

Why not contact an equipment sales rep directly instead of posting a Facebook ad, commercial, or billboard and hoping someone finds it? For example, if you have many Caterpillar machines for sale, search for CAT dealers in your area and contact them by email or phone. First, of course, you’ll need to obtain the person’s name and direct email address. However, many equipment websites have their sales agents’ contact information displayed on their directory page.
Pros: Making a phone call or sending an email is quick and straightforward. Even if the sales agent doesn’t have money to buy your equipment right now, you’ll have gotten on his radar, and he could remember you the next time he needs something.
Cons: Because salespeople phone heavy equipment firms all day, they may be cautious about accepting a cold call without an appointment.

2023.06.07 11:26 Proastandtoast Van Life Chronicles: Exploring Iceland for Three Weeks

This sub has been an incredible source of information and inspiration, so I gave myself an hour to write down and share some insights from the recent three-week road trip I’ve had with my partner.
General remarks:
- Our main goal was to enjoy nature, so we were okay with spending absolutely no time on the golden circle or in Reykjavik. Due to the weather, we ended up doing both anyway; but these would be the parts of the trip I would skip first. Coming from continental Europe, we had almost no jetlag and could safely start directly with our journey. With more jet lag, some more time to adapt is definitely a good idea.
- We rented a 2WD campervan from Star Car Rental and spent all but the final night on campsites. Our experience with Star Car was very good. The price was competitive and included unlimited mileage, additional driver and all necessary utensils (chairs, table, cooking stuff). We got picked up from the airport and were ready to go within 15’. When giving back the car, we got driven to our hotel without any inspection (we did have zero excess insurance).
- Mid-May to beginning of June was a very nice time to travel. The days are long (I’ve seen no darkness), almost all camping places are open, but the crowds at the highlights are small – except for the big boys in the south.
- We started our days quite early and therefore typically arrived during the afternoon at the campsites. The kitchen area, showers and laundry spaces were often free to use. Be prepared to go to campsites that have only 2 stoves and 1 shower. During prime time, expect some waiting times.
- We picked up around 100 € worth of cash – two campsites were cash-only, everything else was absolutely card-first / cash-free.
Useful ressources:
- Vedur and Safetravel: This sub is absolutely right. Learn how to read and anticipate the weather before you get there. We were there during two yellow warnings and these things are really no joke. It helps to have plenty of time to spontaneously adapt the schedule. And we’ve seen it all: blizzard in the West, hail up North, storm in the East and sun in the South.
- Google reviews & park4night: These were pretty accurate for the campsites. 4+ stars are no-brainers, 3+ depend on your needs (kitchen, shower, electricity) and less than 3 should be avoided. Also, remember to rate them yourself during/after your trip to increase the statistical significance ;)
- Google Maps/MyMaps: MyMaps was useful during our planning to fill with random highlights (waterfalls, hotpots, hikes, campsites) and to set up a rough itinerary. Google Maps is accurate on paved roads. On gravel roads, expect some significant delays. Maps calculates with 80 km/h, while you will probably never exceed 50 km/h. In the Westfjords, we guess-timated our times with 2 minutes per kilometer on the gravel roads. The Happy Campers Campsite Map as well as the Hot Pot Iceland Map were nice to have in the back-pocket to check with some time to spare whether something is close by.
- Polarsteps: This was a cute little App, which we used to keep family and friends informed. You can add pictures and some text to your highlights. This way, you don’t send the same picture into various chats and there is a location- and time-dependent context.
Cost: This is the per-person cost breakdown for our 21-day trip (20-day camper rental, 1 hotel stay, total 3’500€).
- Rental (zero excess insurance, additional driver): 1’135 €
- Flight (from continental Europe): 700 €
- Activities (Pools, Spas, Horse-riding, Kayak): 300 €
- Camping (pretty consistent 2’000 +- 500 ISK p.P.): 275 €
- Groceries (Bonus, Kronan, Netto): 255 €
- Coffee, Beers, Food in Restaurants: 260 €
- Petrol (420 € in total for roughly 3’600 km): 210 €
- Souvenirs: 180 €
- Ferries (into Westfjords and to Westman Islands): 95 €
- Hotel: 75 €
Highlights:
- Sundlaug and Spas: When camping in small towns, very often there will be a swimming pool close by. They are not expensive (around 1000 ISK pP) and a great way to relax after a long day. Also, it feels nice to take longer, hot showers without knowing people are waiting in line. We decided to go for some smaller premium spas and were very happy with all of them: Krauma was one of our first stops, the Forest Lagoon was incredible during evening hours and GeoSea was also fantastic. Re: nudity. It takes a bit to get used to, but its very refreshing to see this very open approach to nudity in the pools. No one cares, no one watches – just do your thing. It’s cool to see groups of friends at all age groups be so open about it. Certainly very different compared to continental Europe.
- As we had to skip the Eastfjords a bit due to storm, we had some time left at the end. We spent the last 3 nights on the Westman Islands. It was great to leave the car for a longer while and do everything by foot. There are plenty of things to do and the swimming pool is fantastic.
- Mulagljufur: Use Google Maps to find the exact location, as of now, there is no sign along the road. The canyon is very beautiful and we ended up hiking for almost three hours. Couldn’t get enough of the views.
- Glymur: The infamous log wasn’t placed when we were there, but the short hike to the cave and towards the canyon was absolutely worth it.
- Camping highlights: Melanes campsite at Raudasandur beach (Westfjords): incredible scenery, wild drive to get there; Thingeyri campsite (Westfjords): directly at the fjord, fantastic infrastructure (probably the best kitchen we’ve had) and IMHO a great alternative to the Tungudalur campsite in Isafjordur; 66.12 N campsite (near Husavik): insane ocean view, good infrastructure, one of the best sites along the diamond circle; Glamping&Camping (Westmann Islands): beautiful setting, good infrastructure.

Day 11: long drive with very strong winds. We had to go back to Akureyri (optician to fix broken glasses), so went through Myvatn again with a quick stop at Grjotagja. Beautiful drive, weather was too bad for Studlagil canyon, so we continued all the way to Borgarfjordur eystri. Crazy winds during the night and we were happy that our car didn’t get blown away.
Day 12: unfortunately, no hikes in this beautiful area. Waited for storm to pass until lunchtime, visited harbor with puffins**, drive to Egilsstadir (hot dog stop), continue to Seydisfjordur (kind of underwhelming town, the drive is gorgeous though) and, due to weather forecast, continue all the way to Djupivogur campsite.

Choosing the right American Racing Wheels
Here are some easy to remember tricks.
> Determine your vehicle's bolt pattern and sizing requirements:
Before you start shopping for a set of aftermarket wheels, it's essential to know your vehicle's bolt pattern and sizing requirements. The bolt pattern refers to the number of lug holes and their arrangement on the wheel hub, while the size refers to the diameter, width, and offset of the wheel. Check your vehicle's owner's manual or consult a professional for accurate information.
> Consider the type of driving you do:
The type of driving you do will play a significant role in determining the best wheel for your needs. If you primarily drive on highways and city streets, you may want a wheel designed for comfort and fuel efficiency. However, if you frequently drive off-road or participate in motorsports, you may require a wheel with greater durability and performance capabilities.
> Choose the right wheel material:
American Racing Wheels are generally made from cast aluminum, which offers an excellent balance of strength, weight, and affordability. However, there are other materials available, such as forged aluminum and high-quality carbon fiber. While these materials may provide additional benefits in terms of performance and weight reduction, they often come with a more premium price tag.
> Research and compare wheel models:
Once you have a clear understanding of your vehicle's requirements and the type of wheel you need, it's time to research and compare various models. Take your time to read a lot of reviews, gather feedback from fellow enthusiasts, and consult with professionals to ensure you choose a wheel that meets your needs in terms of performance, durability, and style.
> A word on budget and aftermarket support:
When choosing American Racing Wheels you intend to use for a long time, it's essential to consider your budget and the level of aftermarket support available. While some wheels may be more expensive upfront, they may offer greater durability and performance, ultimately providing better value for your investment. Additionally, consider the availability of replacement parts and aftermarket accessories, as this can have a significant impact on the overall cost and convenience of maintaining your wheels.

Choosing the right American Racing Wheels
Here are some easy to remember tricks.
> Determine your vehicle's bolt pattern and sizing requirements:
Before you start shopping for a set of aftermarket wheels, it's essential to know your vehicle's bolt pattern and sizing requirements. The bolt pattern refers to the number of lug holes and their arrangement on the wheel hub, while the size refers to the diameter, width, and offset of the wheel. Check your vehicle's owner's manual or consult a professional for accurate information.
> Consider the type of driving you do:
The type of driving you do will play a significant role in determining the best wheel for your needs. If you primarily drive on highways and city streets, you may want a wheel designed for comfort and fuel efficiency. However, if you frequently drive off-road or participate in motorsports, you may require a wheel with greater durability and performance capabilities.
> Choose the right wheel material:
American Racing Wheels are generally made from cast aluminum, which offers an excellent balance of strength, weight, and affordability. However, there are other materials available, such as forged aluminum and high-quality carbon fiber. While these materials may provide additional benefits in terms of performance and weight reduction, they often come with a more premium price tag.
> Research and compare wheel models:
Once you have a clear understanding of your vehicle's requirements and the type of wheel you need, it's time to research and compare various models. Take your time to read a lot of reviews, gather feedback from fellow enthusiasts, and consult with professionals to ensure you choose a wheel that meets your needs in terms of performance, durability, and style.
> A word on budget and aftermarket support:
When choosing American Racing Wheels you intend to use for a long time, it's essential to consider your budget and the level of aftermarket support available. While some wheels may be more expensive upfront, they may offer greater durability and performance, ultimately providing better value for your investment. Additionally, consider the availability of replacement parts and aftermarket accessories, as this can have a significant impact on the overall cost and convenience of maintaining your wheels.
What drives people to go for American Racing Wheels?
Several factors are at play here.
American Racing Wheels has been a leading name in the automotive industry since its founding in 1956. The brand's rich history and commitment to innovation have made it a popular choice among car enthusiasts worldwide. By choosing this brand, you're not only investing in a high-quality product, but you're also becoming a part (and taking home a slice) of the brand's storied legacy.
One of the main reasons to choose from ARW rims for your vehicle is the extensive range of styles and designs available. From timeless classics like the Torq Thrust and Outlaw series to modern, aggressive designs such as the Crossfire and the hulking Barrage, there's a wheel to suit every taste and preference.
American Racing Wheels offers a wide range of customization options, allowing you to create a unique look that perfectly complements your vehicle. From various finishes like polished aluminum, satin black, and chrome to different sizes and offsets, you can tailor your wheel choice to your specific needs and preferences. This level of customization ensures that your vehicle will stand out from the crowd and reflect your personal style.
A bespoke statement.
American Racing Wheels has a long history of use in professional motorsports, as well as a dedicated following among car enthusiasts. This speaks to the brand's commitment to quality, performance, and style. By sticking with ARW, you're joining a community of passionate drivers who demand only the best for their vehicles.
A few last words
While choosing American Racing Wheels for your vehicle offers numerous benefits, including a wider range of styles and designs, performance and customization options, rely only on genuine and company-recognized retailers.
Like AudioCity USA in California. Santa Fe Springs.
The reason? The US aftermarket has been run over by a flood of fake ‘branded’ wheels, and you must keep your guard up!

2023.06.07 11:09 nearspray867 How I turned minimalist and personal tips on packing.

It wasn’t until recently that I became a travel minimalist. Matter of fact, when I was in my teens, I was basically packing everything except the kitchen sink (never could resist cramping in 3-4 towels).

Then my mindset started making a U-turn when I got a cheap 20 lb backpack. Filled with black tea and chocolate bars, it was my faithful travel companion whenever a music festival would roll around.

In 2022, I decided to set out on my first-ever trip – a whole six months across Europe. All on my own, trusty bag notwithstanding. I stuffed it with everything I thought I’d need for 6 months on the road. When I arrived in Italy, I realized I overdid it and brought more than I needed. I just started to leave the stuff I didn’t need in the hotel room.

That period of traveling with everything I needed to live comfortably in just 1 bag was a total game-changer. May sound cliche, but traveling lightly really did change my outlook on life and materialism.

So without further ado, here are my tips for minimalist travel.

  1. Try to aim for hand luggage
Taking hand luggage forces you to be organized and bring only the essentials with you due to the limited space. The bigger the bag, the more likely you are to fill it, even if it’s not needed. It’s sort of bag psychology!

Not only is it cheaper to use hand luggage as you don’t have to pay for the bag to go into the hold - it’s quicker too. You can literally exit the airport and without having to wait ages for your bag. My friend has a similar philosophy for travels and work. She used to go to the office with a huge handbag filled with all kinds of crap. Now all she takes with her is a full-grain leather CITY Laptop Bag. Minimalistic, convenient, practical. The bigger the bag, the more stuff you fill it with, so do yourself a favor and go small.

  1. Give packing cubes a go
Sometimes people pack as if they’re going to another planet. Shops do exist where you’re going unless it’s somewhere remote. On the rare chance you need to buy something you didn’t pack, you’re likely to have that option.

  1. You’re not flying to Jupiter
I’d heard a lot about compressible packing cubes. I eventually borrowed one from my brother and finally got all the hype!

You can fold up clothes in a bag, zip it up, then use the second zip to compress it even further. Definitely keeps the clothes organized and saves loads of space.

  1. Plan in advance
If you pack last minute like your train is due to leave in 5 min, you’re more likely to not only pack more but pack inefficiently. Everything you pack should be thought out and serve a purpose. I take a week in advance to draw up a list of the things I need.

  1. Check the weather beforehand
Sound obvious, but checking the weather for both day and night is crucial to know what type of clothing you need, and is something I’ve neglected to do in the past. Do your research about altitudes as well if you’re planning a trip to the mountains. I have frozen my butt off in the Alps because I underestimated how cold it could get.

2023.06.07 09:41 powerhouse_22 Good Piercing Shops in Brum

I recently moved to Birmingham, and I haven’t found any good shops yet. I’m a little scared to go to any other shop than the one in my hometown, as I’ve had bad experiences with dodgy shops. Are there any shops, hopefully close to Selly Oak or city centre, that have a good reputation and good quality of care?

2023.06.07 09:40 groundzer0s Wheelchair-friendly beach areas?

My dad was once a beach bum, playing guitar by a bonfire after a good motorcycle ride. He married my mom on Gleneden beach and asked me to scatter his ashes there when he dies. He really, really loves the coast.
But he's 68 now and is missing a leg. He is fresh out of an abusive marriage that kept him home-bound for nearly a decade, and for a solid 5 years of that, I kept my distance because of his wife. Now it's like I have my dad back, and I can finally start doing things with him again. There's a whole list of stuff I wanna take him out to do, like go see the Southern Pacific Daylight at the museum in Portland or go fishing just one more time at Minto Brown Island Park where I caught my first fish when I was around 6 or so. But a big thing I wanna do is take my dad out to the beach, not just to go thrifting or to stop at Depoe Bay, but actually to a spot where we can enjoy watching the waves wash over the sand. My dad has pretty bad health, so I'm never really sure just how much time I have left with him, so I wanna make it happen while I've got a chance. I don't think I could ever forgive myself if I didn't give him the opportunity to see the coast that he desperately misses. I doubt there's anywhere on sand that we can go because of his wheelchair, but anything close will be a good recommendation. Moe's over in Lincoln City is on my list of places to stop for food that also has a good view of the ocean from a flat, sturdy surface.

2023.06.07 09:22 Eodguy149 Turo Rental Damage Sanity Check

Turo Rental Damage Sanity Check
So I recently rented a vehicle on Turo, all went well and returned the vehicle with no issues. About three days later I get a message from the host stating there is damage to the vehicle along with the image below. I look through the photos we took during check in and check out and sure enough it appears to have happened sometime while we had the vehicle (it was parked in front of our Airbnb the majority or the weekend so really have no idea when it could have happened). Initially felt bad for not noticing it during the bustle at the airport drop off and state that I am happy to help resolve this issue. The damage process is then started with Turo.

A few days later an invoice is uploaded onto Turo for a full bumper repaint which will cost $3600. I purchased normal insurance through Turo and have no primary insurance so max out of pocket would be $3k. She stated I could pay her $3k and she would try to negotiate a lower price after but otherwise would be fine eating the additional cost above $3k to just get this resolved. That is where I started to see some red flags as it doesn't really make sense for her to risk eating the additional cost. I asked if I could try to source some other bids as that seemed quite expensive and she stated that was fine but that she would only want to get this repaired through a Mercedes authorized shop, and wanted it to be a shop that was in her specific city.

I called around to several other shops that were within ~20 minutes and got several quotes in the $2k-2500 range, a non authorized shop with all 5 star reviews in the $1500 range, and the highest rated mobile paint repair on yelp who said that this wouldn't require a full repaint and could be color matched/blended for $500 and completed in a few hours and then sent all of this info over to her. She stated she wouldn't work with any non mercedes authorized options, and that since the mercedes authorized options I provided were a 20 minute drive each way, asked if I would cover her Uber cost to and from the other shops. She then contacted the shops with the lower bids and sent them her original $3600 estimate to ask them why theirs was lower which I found odd (seems to be looking for an excuse to have them give a higher estimate, a full re-paint for this make and model bumper should be a very straight forward estimate). She then also mentions that these other shops will take 4-5 days to repair whereas her local shop said they can do it in 3 so she wants to go with her local shop. Overall, want to resolve this amicably but am at this point fairly frustrated as it seems there isn't really any willingness to discuss options other than ones that lead to a max out of pocket payment and uber costs and other requirements seem to keep getting tacked on.

So a few sanity check questions:

Is it reasonable to only consider Mercedes authorized repair? And does this damage seem reasonable to warrant a full bumper repaint? Who decides what reasonable requirements are for repair if we handle this through Turo i.e. full repaint vs. spot repair, mercedes authorized vs. not?

Is it reasonable to ask for Uber ride compensation?

What are the things to avoid here? I don't want to pay directly as I am uncomfortable with the idea she is just trying to get the $3k and then honestly might not even fix it or will just go with the $500 option. Will Turo validate that the repairs have been made if I pay through them?

Any and all advice is appreciated!
