Boy do I feel bad. Or is it "cringey", not sure. Ok, don't care.

DON'T lick them!

They are NOT those kinds of toads.

They may not be toads at all, they are more than likely tree frogs.

I lost interest after Jungle Pam retired.

The used car market is ass. I've looked at 4 different vehicles. The first two were corolla hatchbacks that the dealerships ended wanting $30-32k for (with 14-20k miles). A Crosstrek where they wouldn't let me put a deposit down and the day before I got there to buy it, sold it. And then recently a WRX where they wanted cash only and wouldn't do payments. O_o I feel I've lost the buyers edge or somethings amiss.

We will have to start a whole new thread just to cover Stealerships and their Con games! I'll start one after I send my complaints to Hyundai Canada and OMVIC.

Not your fault. It was the stimulus check, must people used as down

payment for new cars and dealerships realized that and started to

jack up the prices. Now we have inflation and dealership doesnt want

give up the easy money. Got quoted for a GR Corolla and they want $60k, for a damn 3 cyl turbo. Try private sales, maybe you could have the edge

The production guys broke off a mounting bolt in the housing of one of our electric motors. I broke an extractor off in it and it cut me

Here is the whole assembly. We face mount it and mount it axially. This helps with what is known as “dynamic crimping” in the drive system. They always break the axial mounting bolt.

I did have a guy I had to send home early last week. Not pacing himself in the heat of the shop and he looked super pale Friday afternoon. If he didn't have heat exhaustion, he was getting close to it. I had him go chill out in the break room in the AC for 15 min with a popsicle and checked on him before he went home.

Thunder and lightning, and rainy like crazy here now. Strange. Hopefully put out our wild fires.
