At least it's not Honda and Takata now that's serious.

Nope. And the schedule doesn't say you should. It just says "inspect". They have been inspected and they are fine.

It's totally normal to absolutely crank the radio volume when the guitar solo starts on Stairway to Heaven, right?

Yup. Around here, you'll probably even make a few friends.

I don't know, I never get that far.

It's pretty normal to crank it up when you're listening to something that speaks to you, and if this does... yeah.

As long as you're not left being able to hear nothing but trunk rattle...

It's a requirement.

Fuck UPS. $145 dollar brokerage fee on a $500 item. Should have just bought brand new from Canada. Would have only cost a few bucks more

Ouch. Though, that's not the norm is it? It seems like the seller could have done something different as well... maybe? I'm paranoid every time I order something and discover it's being drop-shipped from somewhere overseas.

Makes me feel better about my fight with a car rental place over the excessive fees they're charging for tolls that didn't register. I could have rented a thing, but I own one, and it's always worked for me... and it did almost every toll. But, of course, I can't work with the state agency because they only know how to send a bill to whomever the car is registered to, so I have to wait to see... and get charged an extra fee plus the toll for every one that slowly trickles in.

Oh well. Still not as much money lost as missing days of vacation due to food poisoning our first meal away...

Eh, it's only money. You'll get more. And now you have that thing you wanted.

Was a transaction from on here for an OFT. Figured I'd save about 100 bucks by buying used from the US. Didn't expect to get absolutely fucked on a used item transaction.
