Its so weird how one person expresses their thought of buying my car and now others are starting jump on it. Hopefully they're all for real and not tire kickers.

I have a list of things I want to do to my car. I look at it often even though items on the list get removed at a slow rate. I look at it at home on my pc (the list is open now as i type), I look at the list on my phone. I look, I plan, I close the list then 10 minutes later I open it again. (I'm a little drunk atm)

WTF is wrong with drivers.

Driving home today, had a BMW X5 behind me. Turned onto some backroads that I like to drive, accelerated pretty good, and the BMW is right on my ass. I sped up to about 80, thinking he just wanted to drive faster, well he got even closer. It was clear to me at this point that this was a douchebag that just had to prove to me that his BMW X5 could do everything my car can. Like, I don't mind if someone wants to do some spirited driving behind me, as long as they aren't riding my ass. But what the fuck is going through the minds of these dumbasses.

I ended up driving 5-10mph below the speed limit just to piss him off.

I love getting tailgated, because it reduces the car's wake drag and lets me use less fuel. It's just hard to find a willing participant who will do you the favor for long periods of time, but seems like you found one.

Long story short.

I have a WACOM cintiq 24HD and do graphic arts on the side of my 8-5 job. The cintiq recently (by a month at the time) went out of warranty. It had a couple of dead pixels so I decided to sell it and upgrade to the newer 24HD touch. I sold it on ebay and after a shockingly high ammount of fees (ebay and paypal made more than me!) and shipping cost it went out the door May 21st via 1day Priority express with tracking and insurance (for $1500 they wouldn't go higher.) May 23rd USPS tracking states that it is being processed in the Richmond, CA sort facility.

To this day the tracking states the same thing and no updates have been posted. The item wasn't delivered to the buyer and all funds were forcefully removed by Paypal leaving me dead with a $215.00 SHIPPING CHARGE and $100+ in ebay selling fees.

I am now -$2900 ish, have no tablet and filled out a usps domestic claim for insurance form around 16 days ago... USPS says they won't reimburse the shipping charges, just the $1500 assuming I show them receipts which I nolonger have for the item. However it will be some 61+days as they don't determin a package lost until 31+ days.

I paid for $1500 insurance and they lost it. If it had a box of rocks and paid for the $1500 insurance they should still have to pay, assuming they lost it. IMO They also should have to pay or refund the shipping charges ($210.) Hell, the box and method I shipped it was 1-day which it clearly didn't arrive in that time frame before they lost it...
