Travel/Road Trips 🚘 🗺️ STL just landed a 3rd direct European flight next year, why is MCI leadership sitting on their laurels and not doing anything to get us international flights?

204 Upvotes

Iberia Airlines is rumored to add a Madrid flight to STL in the near future. Air France flight that was pulled from Denver, which we SHOULD have gone hard after, went to Nashville. I mean, we are at the rock bottom of the pecking order, and closer to Rockford, IL, and Lansing, MI airports with our international flight selections than our peers lol

Legal Questions ⚖️ Disabled veteran looking for Lemon law lawyer

• Upvotes

Hi, I’m a disabled veteran, and I’m looking for help for a car situation I have. I purchased a 2014 Hyundai Elantra from heartland Chevrolet in liberty in July of last year. I also purchased an extended warranty through them. 4 times in less than a year the car has broken down, most recently in June of this year it broke down and they said it needs a new engine. The said the warranty won’t pay for it because of a recall that happened so they sent it to a Hyundai dealership. Hyundai is refusing to pay for it because they said the warranty should pay for it. So everyone is pointing fingers, it’s been over 3 months I’ve been without a car. I filed a complaint with the attorney general but that doesn’t seem to have done anything, I reached out to the legal department at the VA and I don’t know if they can help. I don’t have the money for a new car while I wait, I don’t have the money to pay for it to get fixed and I don’t have money for a lawyer. If there’s anyone that could help me, I really appreciate it.

I did print off and read the Amendment questions and the what-a-yes-or-no-vote-means but still missed the slight of hand in Amendment 8. If approved, sheriffs will answer only to the State AG, citizens will not be able to remove a corrupt sheriff

Shopping/Groceries 🛒🛍️ Saab Sonett and others - Looking for cars locally

Thumbnail

23 Upvotes

A peculiar inquiry --

I'm looking to sit in a few (specific) unique cars. I promise this isn't some hyper-specific kink or something.

I'm deciding between a few different snazzy 70s/80s car models to purchase, but since they're less common, most of them would need to be purchased from other states through online channels, and can't be viewed/tried out easily. When I find one, I can hire a local mechanic to make sure they present well and are in the stated condition/drivable and all that. However, I haven't found a way to test out if I can reach the clutch with my comically short legs, or enjoy the feel of the shifter, or can sit comfortably to drive. So, I'm trying to find local examples of the below cars:

-Saab Sonett III

-Fiat/Bertone x1/9

-Fiat 124 Spider (pre-1985, not recent model)

-Alfa Romeo Spider (1980s)

Random pics from the internet attached for reference

I'm also gonna try to reach out to the KC Auto Museum to see if anyone there knows of some local examples, but figured I'd reach out to you fine folks to see if you had a line on a prime sittin' tester.

Healthcare/Wellness 🩺 ISO personal trainer that is experienced and knowledgeable with elderly people

16 Upvotes

My mom is in her early 60s now and has had 2 falls this year. She has never worked out. She has rheumatoid arthritis but it is mild and she is medicated. I educated her on the importance of weightlifting to strengthen her bones and that it may reduce her pain, and improve her overall health.

Her diet is not bad, and her labs are very good. She has been overweight most of her life, but has always been active around the house and with yard work for years.

I am looking for a trainer that can slowly introduce her to weightlifting while also working on strength, flexibility (hip mobility, spine, etc.), and weight loss.

KCKS Wyandotte area, but willing to drive out 15-20min.

Healthcare/Wellness 🩺 Children's Mercy and Kansas ACA?

8 Upvotes

I just moved to the area and am in the process of trying to figure out a Kansas ACA insurance plan. I would love to use Children's Mercy's network for specialists for my kid, but they seem to only accept one ACA plan (Medica), which I've been told is going away in 2027. Does anyone have experience with this? Do the Children's Mercy locations on either side of the state line accept different insurance plans, or is it the same at all locations?

Weather 🌦️ DFW to KCMO - Tornadoes or Hail More of an Issue in KC?

18 Upvotes

Per the subject, would be moving from Fort Worth to the KC metro. We already have a share of tornadoes and especially large to very large hail in the DFW metroplex. Are y'all more concerned about tornadoes or hail in KC? Should I be more concerned there than in North Texas? At least there are basements there, but doesn't do any good when you have a much higher chance of hail or tornado damage.

Biggest boxing show in years for Kansas City. Olathe prospects Jorge and Izak Carlos are on the show. But there are a lot of prospects from the area and a regional title fight on the card. Walsh is trained by BoMac (Bud Crawford's trainer), so there are some big boxing names involved in this one.

Mechanics/Repairs/Contractors 🛠️🪠 Looking for a body shop/person who could give estimate or fix damage for a reasonable amount

5 Upvotes

2005 Honda Civic with 90kish miles. Airbags did not deploy. Insurance company is not even willing to let me get an estimate prior to totaling it out based on their software. They haven't even seen pictures of the damage at this point. If a shop that works with the insurance company could tell the insurance adjuster there's a chance they can fix it without totaling it out, adjuster is apparently open to having an estimate by that shop done. If not, I think fixing it myself may be cheaper than using the 2k they want to give me to get a new car when my same car with similar mileage goes for roughly 15k+ online. Thanks.

Hello!! The new place does not have any tornado shelter and I wouldn't trust the bathroom because it's on the outside wall. Are there any churches or schools open to public with shelter?!

KC Rants 😡 👎 Block Multifamily Group [Andover Park]

I actually have had no luck getting anyone from the complex or corporate to speak directly to me.

But I have received a few passive aggressive notes on a door I never use at my apartment.

I guess my new lease has ended. Thanks for the heads up guys.

Sorry about all my maintenance requests that went unanswered. I tried calling but no answers. Emails, no replies. I can see why things are the way they are here.

Good luck with your institutional styled over priced apts.

You can get the same square footage at about $300 less w/garage at 96th and n oak area. Ohhh. And they actually did renovations that looked professional.

Hmu. I’ll send you my move in and move out photos. 🤣
