I'm sure if I just give them a credit card number everything will be ok.

It was obviously one of those IRS scam calls. They even have a Washington DC area code, lol. Like the IRS doesn't have offices in California.

I get about one a month from a Montreal number. Even more fun that they say the IRS will arrest me since in Canada it is called the CRS.

Is it really that hard to admit the mistake? If make a mistake, admit it, correct it, and move on would be better in the long run... or at least that's how I was taught. Instead of dragging on and on making lame excuses. I'm noticing at work (higher up), but social network is worse.

One of my friend always say "Common sense is uncommon these days." and I'm kinda felt that especially this weekend and today.

this is SOP at my company. worse in the field than the office but it's still there in here. I'll send a vendor an order, copy the foreman and he'll call me after it shows up or more likely when he completely runs out of material crying, "they didn't send me enough. I need more asap!". everything here is ASAP but Gawd forbid I ask for anything then it's crickets. but anyways, when they call I'll tell them, "I copied you one the order. So I guess you either didn't look at it and/or didn't bother to figure out what you needed.". they'll cry about how busy they are etc when we all know damn good and well they aren't. my reply remains the same, "welp you're not busy at all now that you've ran out of shit are you? how about you don't wait until you run out to make a call?".

it's literally the dumbest collection of humans I've ever encountered in my life and I've been to D.C.

Common sense was never common this isn't a new thing. I have made a very good living for 30 years because of people's lack of common sense!

DANG, I had forgot about the torque dip, thanks for the reminder, I'll just pull over and let the RVs go around.

Just don't hit a delivery truck backing out, and make sure you flash your high altitude tune.
Oh, shit, the tune

Do you reckon the ECU will compensate for the altidude?

Call them and wire them the money AND send bitcoins (just to make sure).

I got a question.

So my tail lights get condensation and bits of plant debris in the parts around the seal.

I have an extra set of tails I'm going to install (oem) but I want to put something along the seal to prevent water or debris from getting in.

Curious if anyone has suggestions what I should use as it will be visible so something clear would be best.

Noone will notice either way if you paint them black.

Not a fan of that look. I want to keep that oem stock look hence the extra stock tails but just prevent pine needles and moisture from getting inside.

If I could afford it I'd get some Tom's tails but sadly I cannot.
