So it's extra frustrating because they have my money and have little incentive to make the situation right.

Can't believe I had to wait this long for a pipe with obvious quality control issues. Like they were rushed or made by an inexperienced welder.

Edit: He JUST replied:

"I did, I sent an email to [Manufacturer]. Just waiting for a response!"
I'd check with your card company. I have 60 days on my personal card. My work Visa is 60, my work Amex I can dispute up to 120 days after.

I'd give them a call anyway and say you only just got the product. Provide the tracking number for it so they'll have proof. I don't think that's unreasonable.

I was on the ol' Instagrams and I saw a clip from Evangelion of a car driving down the road with some synth music playing. I watched it a few times and found myself very sad and reminiscing for my BRZ. :/

If this yen inflation keeps up by October it'll be tempting to see about getting an R33 when I'm in Japan lol. Right now it's like 145 yen to a USD. Insane. But I'd imagine vehicle auctions probably increase to match.

My brother was looking at importing an R33. The thing is shipping is 3-4k plus taxes and duties. Then you have to go through the hoops of registering it. I have found registered in state cars for less then he was going to pay. You may want to browse local first.

Yeah that's probably the way to do it, and have an actual importer handle the boring stuff.

On another note, people who live at my apartment complex are incapable of respect for other people living here...

I took Haru out to the park this morning. I parked the car and let Haru hop out of it, only to notice he almost landed on these (fortunately he missed them). Who knows if any were under my tires as I backed in....

Wondering if it's a Telsa maintenance truck that left them. Yesterday there was one swapping tires on a Tesla parked nearby but I can't remember if it was that exact space or not. But I don't know why a Tesla tire truck would be carrying them... Another time there was a Tesla with a smashed window getting it replaced by another Tesla maintenance truck, and after that the shattered glass was left all over the ground for weeks...
