HIPPYVALLEY Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 2 hours ago, RUNNAWAYICEBERG said: We get it though, priorities change when you marry and have kids...for the majority of men at least (some think they can still bar hop with their buddies - those don’t last long). So, if you’re going to do ‘you’, do as much as you can when your single. But...men who think they can’t do what they want when married with kids are choosing the wrong women or they don’t properly communicate their needs when they have the right one. You shouldn’t get in a relationship if you think it’s a death sentence. If I told my wife I’m going out west to chase an el nino week of snows in the Sierras, we would make it work...if it was THAT important to me. I dunno, maybe I got lucky with mine and I’m just being too optimistic for our species. You just need to be honest with your partner about what your individual needs are and sort it out rationally from there. Also have hobbies that aren’t necessarily weather related...

#NoPoles Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 There is no law that forces anyone to marry and/or have kids. There goes society again, trying to brainwash people into keeping up with the joneses...if you want that, sure great, go get married and make some kids. If you don't want that, sure great, don't get married and don't have kids. Just live while you are alive, there are no take-back and no mulligans 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moneypitmike Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 And so it begins in the the netherlands. Mixed precip is also likely for Far Nrn and Nern ptns of the FA shortly after precip onset late this aftn and erly eve, with this area possibly retaining deeper cold air alf longer into the ovrngt as weak dynamic cooling alf with the passage of the s/wv trof may partially erase the elevated abv fzg warm layer alf between 7000 and 10000 ft msl, allowing both sn and sleet to mix with or briefly replace rn at times into the late ngt hrs spcly toward the St John vly.

I’d say a couple thousand total if you and your friend are on the road for 7-10 days and plan to stay in a ~$100 hotel each night. When I did my cross country trip, lodging was by far the biggest expense. Tolls aren’t too bad in the Midwest, a lot of places didn’t have them. Gas isn’t too awful either depending on the car but it’ll run a couple hundred easy. I think you definitely want a rental with full insurance coverage. First, that’s a long distance to go and that’s a lot of wear on your car. Usually, you end up with a newer car, so aside from an oil change and maybe tires (which the rental company reimburses or pays for), you end up with a better car with no wear on yours. Second and about as important IMO, a rental gives flexibility. I’m not sure how much flexibility you have with vacation time and work, but if you fly and at the last minute realize an extra day out could produce big results, it could be hard and/or expensive to switch flights. Flying can certainly be efficient time wise, but I’ve been burned to the tune of hundreds because of last minute shifts in timing and needing to stay longer to get into the best action. You should absolutely go chase. You’re a big weenie, it’s a fantastic learning opportunity, and the Midwest is perfect for seeing even non severe storms. My first big chase was severe in the Midwest. I hope you can do it. This is a big rip-off for most, and a huge cash cow for the rental agencies (which is why they scare you into getting it). Check with your insurance company--you're likely covered. 9 hours ago, weathafella said: Husbands and wives are good when they don’t “let” implying ownership.

Go Kart Mozart Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 1 hour ago, WxWatcher007 said: Usually it is a rip off, and I stopped getting it when renting, but on my cross country trip earlier this year I passed on coverage and hit something and my insurance somehow got away with refusing to pay. Ended up costing me $750 out of pocket. Let me throw in my 2 cents as the owner of an independent insurance agency. The typical auto policy will cover damage to the rental car with the same deductibles as you have on your most liberally covered car. The rental generally must be for less than 30 days and in the US or Canada. There are two critical areas where the typical policy will not cover you: Loss of use. If you get in an accident and the car is laid-up for a period of time, the rental company will continue to charge you for the daily rental. Dimunition of Value. Yes, that's really a word. The rental company will claim that because there is now a Carfax report showing an accident, the re-sale value of the car has dropped...and you have to pay for that loss of value. This can run into the thousands! Disclaimer - check with your insurance company or agent for details regarding your policy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
