no amazon I am not going to pay to ship back the ignition coil your idiot employee improperly packaged causing it to break enjoy your chargeback chucklefucks It's cool how when I sell stuff on Amazon I bend over backwards for customers (instant refund for any customer complaint, no sending back, genuine apology for wasting their time) and will literally lose my license to sell if I don't but Amazon can completely dick me over when I buy poo poo from them. puberty worked me over fucked around with this message at 17:22 on Mar 18, 2015 |

At least with RockAuto, I can return things without ever talking to anyone, its a push of a button.

No idea where that hate is coming from.. Every return I've done with Amazon has been crazy easy. If it was a relatively inexpensive item they returned my money without even asking for the item back. Hell they even accepted a motorcycle chain return when I found it was a few links shy of what I thought I needed after trying to install it.

How many cars is too many cars? I'm about to try and justify a potential third purchase (our fourth, combined) to my wife and don't really have anything that could be considered objective justification; just subjective to me. The Saabaru is very practical but I don't have much fun with it on the street; I have to drive excessively fast to enjoy it. I love the Miata on the street, but don't drive it in the winter because I hate the visibility with the top up and don't fit that well under a hardtop, even with foamectomy. Now I'm looking at a 318is as a winter counterpart to the Miata - something i can drive at 8/10s to the grocery store, and I've always wanted to have an older BMW. That makes sense in my mind, but to someone who isn't a car person, I'm sure all they see is wasting time and money (in my circumstances right now, time is a real issue). My wife gets particularly worked up by cars because she doesn't understand them and doesn't want to; she just sees potential moneypits that could blow up and steal your baby at any second. She has never bought or sold a car herself and doesn't understand how easy it is to get into something you're interested in and get out if it doesn't work out.

blk posted:My wife gets particularly worked up by cars because she doesn't understand them and doesn't want to This would have been a huge red flag for me keeping me from putting a ring on it. When I met my wife she at least appreciated a nice car; after teaching her to drive stick in the bimmer, showing her some of the funnier episodes of Top Gear, and letting her do some laps in Gran Turismo 6, she's adamant that we can't own any boring cars and they all have to be stick. Also she has her own helmet for autocross days.

You should divorce her. Any in my life have to be cool with the idea of 30+ gravel tires being stored somewhere on the premise and thousand dollar subarus showing up regularly for fixing or breaking.

Upon complaining to Amazon I have been given a pre-paid UPS label to send it back for a replacement. Still not happy I'm out my time, gas, packing materials, and not having the part for my car for another week but I suppose it beats paying 2x the price at a brick and mortar or rolling the dice at the junkyard. ZX3 is fun as gently caress and a welcome change from wet noodle toyota power steering. Having 7 of them pretty much unpicked at the local junkyard helps too. puberty worked me over fucked around with this message at 18:42 on Mar 18, 2015 |

If the number of cars you have prevents you working on your cars, you have too many cars. Strip one or more for parts to fix the others, or build a shop. Or a bigger shop. I guess the conclusion of this stream of consciousness is that you can never have too many cars, but you can have too many cars for the space you currently have. I'm now really digging the idea of a slammed rwd-only defender double cab with a lush interior. This is what's wrong with my brain.

The only reason I have two is so I don't get stuck at my house if one breaks down. I don't even drive the other one apart from taking it out monthly to get it warmed up.

Nodoze posted:I'd have as many as space and money allow Agreed. I have 3 and can barely afford them, but only because I'm old and make enough money that I want the best of the best when I customize. I still have to do it on a budget though, like I'm not digging in to my C70 motor to sleeve it and put rods in like a buddy of mine did. Therefore I'm done modifying that car. Unless I decide to do an AWD conversion, then the motor will need a lot more power due to the increase in traction and drivetrain losses. I'm putting off major maintenance on my daily because I know it's going to hit me for about $2000 all at once in parts when I tear it down. If I had a little more money and a lot more space I'd have at least 2 more cars. Just because. If I won the lottery I'd probably go Jay Leno all over your asses.

I have two cars, and it is one car too many but I would still buy a 3rd car if I had room for it and it was interesting. In other news, my brother has a 99 328i with like 150k miles, his driver side window fell down like 3 months ago and hes been driving with plastip wrap on it since then. He finally "fixed" it the other day. He stuck a piece of wood in the door and then screwed it in to something to hold it there. Whats that, you ask? Didn't the side airbag get in the way? It sure did, he just cut it out because he "didnt need it" Okay guy. He used to drive a jeep, he was involved in a head on accident at a traffic light. Before that was a monte carlo, which rolled a couple times when a cop t-boned him. Before that was an explorer that got side swiped by a semi. Who needs airbags?
