The officer who knocked on our door late yesterday afternoon was on our street for a medical emergency 911 call at a neighbor's house, and was apparently just checking in to see if we heard anything about the jury reaching a verdict yet.....

I don't remember if I posted it here, but I spoke to my sales guy Wednesday morning. I let them know I would take mine back after the repair. If all was well, I'm good. If any other issue, I want an allocation for a new one. They agreed.

Here is the link to the thread if anyone is interested so I don't overwhelm this thread with my vehicle woes.

It's good that you're acting adult about this. A lot of people would be on the floor kicking and screaming. I'm sure they appreciate it. Shit happens and they sound like they're taking care of you.

What am I going to do? Having a hissy fit never helps. It is what it is. There's no way I'm going to rush them. Let them take their time and do it right.

You are right, of course, but as I'm sure you know, not everyone would handle it this way.

That’s a bad deal. Well i hope it can be managed and you have a bunch of good years ahead despite this

Like why a bag of all natural potato chips (contents: potato, olive oil, sea salt, and nothing else) are labeled "NOT FOR SALE IN CALIFORNIA" (all capital letters are theirs)?

I already looked up the answer, but can't post it because the BP-OT P&R section is permanently closed.....

Totally unrelated but a similar situation... I had a guy sideswipe me at the bridge tolls back in March. Nothing serious but he managed to scrape most of the passengers side of my truck, including the running board.
Now my truck is full of tools and I use them every day. I was scheduled to drop my truck off at the body shop in late May. The car rental company that promised me a cargo van called the day before to confirm my rental. I said I'm ready, where do I pick up the van? Their response...Van???? No, we have your Durango ready. I sent them the following photo and told them I would not be responsible for any damage to the interior of the Durango. Needless to say they were not willing to give me the Durango.
After a few phone calls with supervisors and supervisor's supervisors, we agreed that they would find me a van asap. Asap turned into 4 1/2 weeks. Luckily my bodyshop was more than accommodating and said they would take my truck in as soon as I found a van.
4 1/2 weeks later I get a call from the rental company, you guessed it, they don't have the van they promised but they will get me the very next one to be returned. I decided to use the new van that was sitting at the office waiting for the new shelving to come in and be installed. (That's a whole other story. )I dropped my truck off for it's repairs.
Fast forward to picking up my truck at the body shop. It was one day late... no big deal except that as I walked up to check the repairs there was a scratch on the freshly painted door about five inches long. I went inside to bring the scratch to their attention. The paint shop manager was out in less than two minutes to see what had happened. He inspected, sent the truck back to have the scratch buffed out, had them buff out another scratch on the opposite side of the truck that had nothing to do with the original repair (a job I asked them to quote when the truck was in for the initial appraisal. Quote was $650. I declined.), and he gave me the new running board for the undamaged side of the truck to boot. All of this at quarter to closing before a long weekend.


TL, DR:
Often not being the Karen will get you a much better deal once the dust settles.

Just a thought though. Why not try surgery? If he won’t survive the anesthesia that’s the same, but at least you tried it.
Seems weird to me to hear a vet say “we can’t put him to sleep for surgery because he might not wake up. The only solution is to put him to sleep.”

Sorry you have to go through this. It’s the worst.
Well guys, this is one of my darkest hours and I have to tell you, that Bibo had died around 0:30 CEST peacefully by passing away just laying onto my chest
To answer the question about not to try surgery, well, last year they had determined a slight pancreas disfunction and he got medicine to improve the function. With beginning of the year his kidneys had dramatically decreased its function and so lots of poison stuffs were not washed out of the urin and had started the gout problem. At the end we had seen small yellow points at all of his joints and bone sections. Additionally the vet said, that the post surgery pain would ease his life at this point not necessarily to a better end, the more because his kidneys would stop entirely to work and so at the bitter end its a gamble of time to my selfishness against the welfare of my animal.
On Friday he had a very good day, the new medicine seems to work and I got high hopes to turn this around, well knowing that this has to come to an end sooner or later.
Now yesterday he was in that kind of bad shape, that it was beyond of crystal clear that the appoint at the vet on upcoming thursday would be much too late for his immediate pain and I had decided to spend the whole night with him, to call the vet early in the morning to get an emergency appoint to put Bibo down...
Sounds cruel but at the moment I am glad that I was here for him until his final draw, laying onto my chest, got my heartbeat to his and he hopefully passed away with the knowledge, that I hadnt let him down until his end. Into my head I was also prepared to see the vet giving him his last injection, but this is for me and for him the better end.
Im gonna burry him late this afternoon beside of Pietry and Im grateful to had thus small but though little persons into my life.
I confess that this was the point which Id feared the most, Im now looking around in my living room and see the now final empty cage, birdys playground and lots of things which reminds me at very funny and sometimes also annoying times. Looking at Bibos remains are just breaking my heart...

now i have a 300hp 300ft lb Subaru with a CVT. the exhaust is very very quiet.

the CVT though, allows the car to accelerate and hold 6000rpm (err sometimes it's 5000rpm, depends on the mood of the thing) all the way until i chicken out.

now i thought to myself nobody has ever posted a everything deleted loud exhaust of a CVT holding 6000rpm from 0-200 ...

one day i'm going to do it!

I confess that I hate paying mechanics for work that anyone with an adjustable and a screwdriver can do.
Installed the Fabspeed sports exhaust on Saturday no problem.
3 of the bolts on the first cats broke. No problem, I'll take them out and put new ones in.
Of course Porsche pressed them in .
No way I could take them out without taking the headers out and then torch them out.
I don't have a strong enough torch for that.
Had to take the car to the doctor today so I can pay for the same work that I had just done on Saturday

Lucky it was the exhaust.
Broken bolts belong in the FML thread.

There's a FML thread

I just hate paying mechanics for something I already had done.
The exhaust is on, but I'm pretty sure they will have to remove it to get to the broken bolts on the first cats. Should've just payed them in the first place and saved 3 hours of my time.

Getting splashed by a car driving through a puddle is the type of stuff I expected to see in the FML thread. In reality it was.... a lot more intense.


Wait does this post belong in the expectations vs. reality thread?

I was on one of my doctors' patient portal a few minutes ago, and went into the "edit my profile" screen. Among the options was a pull-down list for primary language. Always curious, I opened the list to see what options were available.

To my surprise, the programmers must have found a list of EVERY known language...including 1600's AD English and 1100 AD Italian. I went in search of my favorite test case, and sure enough Klingon was there. Qapla' !

Seems like a bad thing to say to a doctor, but HeghluʼmeH QaQ jajvam.

Of course I selected Klingon as my primary language and saved the preference.....

I think I actually cried in my sleep last night.

Not only did Dad show up to help me review the paint job, but Mom was there, ambling into the room to see what we were up to, just like old times.
