Oh yes, taking lots of naps.

I presume that you're back to actually squeezing "your" squeezes at the local supermart?

Warning, car talk/rant in RT, I'm not going to make a thread in the general forum for this crap lol...

Ok. So I bring my car to get an alignment, and when I get it home, I noticed scratches all over the guage cluster lense. These are pretty bad, like I should definitely have noticed before if they were there. I call the shop up and the manager puts his technician on who says he just needed to press the button to get the odometer reading, but never touched the lense. I'm not going to call him a liar without some evidence, but I seriously cannot imagine a world where I wouldn't have already replaced the lens if it was this bad. I CAN imagine a tech looking for a button sticking through the lense by running his hand across it and 'forgetting' he did it, considering my OFT is mounted over the odometer buttons if he's never been in an FRS before.

Idk what to do at this point. Going to be driving along distance this week, and this is going to be annoying me the whole way. Maybe I just leave them a negative review and never go back there.

Somebody had a dirty sleeve and reached behind the wheel. That is some BS hackage right there.

He did say he removed the oft to get at the button...

How summer started...



How summer ended...



BRZ was completely neglected this summer but there were countless wildfires all summer killing nearly every plan made for fun mountain drives.

Story time related to Spud's deal.

When I was a tech working at a Yamaha dealership we had this regular customer with a sportbike, an R6, come in for maintenance all the time. He worked at a local bank and was the well dressed type. I serviced his bike and put it out on the line for the lot guys to give a wash. A while later he rides into the shop and start yelling that whoever worked on his bike had scratched it. I walked up to him and told him I had worked on it and asked him to show me where. He points to the fuel tank in front of the seat. At the same time our service manager came out to see what was going on. On his fuel tank were not scratches, but bugs smeared on the tank from his riding jacket. The service manager grabbed a can of detail spray and a micro fiber. I thought he was going to wipe the tank, but instead grabbed the guys helmet out of his hand, cleaned his visor, and sent him on his way.

Lol, not sure what the moral is, but that's a funny story!

My little house is easy. Besides, we have way more important issues needing attention. I keep begging my wife to let us spend money on it. Yet another season passes by.

Do those things really work that well? Like zero service?

I don't have much gutters, but what I had when we moved in didn't work. they needed to be replaced because they were not working to the point of causing damage to the house.

So far, they are pretty much as advertised. I do go around before the storms come and clean off any leafs that gather on top. They especially gather in the inward 90° parts. I walk around with a pole with a web brush. So far I'm happy.
